Chapter 64: Heed my advice...

25 November, 20XX (Thursday)

Ji Family,

A few days went by, Luciella came over to the Ji's. Since she texted and called Ji Nuan, but no matter how many times. Nobody picked up, she felt something was amiss. Thinking about that, she decided to drop by the Ji's to find out about the situation there.

"Rong Xuan, I don't think it is nice to pop up at out house without notice right?" Ji Nian who just woke up, since it was just 12PM. She was a late sleeper, and usually she would wake up in the afternoon if nothing was up.

Ji Nian was 25 years old, the Ji's favored young miss. But Luciella do not like her one bit, because she was pretentious and spoilt.

In the Ji household now, there were only servants and Ji Nian at the house. The others were out, Luciella strolled into the manor with the servants help. Walking straight towards Ji Nuan's room, not bothering about Ji Nian who was talking to her at the side.

"Miss Rong, our master said that the second miss cannot leave her room for the time being. No one is to let her out, so please understand." The maid hurriedly informed when she saw her climbing up the stairs towards the second level.

'Grounded?' she frowned, not wanting to listen anymore. Nobody in the Ji's dared to touch her, hence they could only try to tell her to stop which she did not listen to.

Seeing the corner room of Ji Nuan's, she pushed Ji Nian away. Walking to the room, "I expect an answer from elder Ji, get me the key if you are smart." She glared at the maid.

The maid nodded, hurriedly leaving to get the key. "What are you trying to do at my house?!" Ji Nian blocked the door.

"Isn't Ji Nuan your sister?" Luciella frowned deeply at how Ji Nian acted, 'Is everyone in the family treating JI Nuan in this way, really now?' she felt vexed about the whole situation.

Ji Nian scoffed, the word sister were too distant of a word for her. She never once been closed to Ji Nuan for as long as she could remember, since her parents seems to hate Ji Nuan. "She deserves to be grounded, dad and mon forbid her to go out!" Ji Nian adamantly stood in front of the door to block her.

What Luciella detested was the selfishness of human being, her brows furrowed in disdain. "Miss Rong, here's the key!" The maid hurriedly bowed and passed the key to her.

"Move or I will call my third uncle over!" She hissed at Ji Nian, pushing her aside without waiting for her reply. The woman stood speechless, looking at Luciella opening the door of Ji Nuan's room.

---------

"HOW DARE YOU!" Luciella yelled at the people by the door when she saw Ji Nuan laying on the bed out cold, her face was extremely pale without any blood. Luciella clenched her fist in anger, her whole body was shaking.

Ji Nuan did not know what was happening, all she could see through her blurry vision was a small back standing in front of her. She felt safe and assured, a smile was crept on her face.

"Miss Rong, we are just following orders. Please do not make it hard for us!" The servants apologized, feeling fear when they saw the angered look on Luciella's small face.

"What are you all apologizing for?...this is the Ji's, not the Rong's!" Ji Nian felt irritated, she arrogantly stood in front of Luciella, not budging.

Luciella did not have time to bother about her, she hurriedly bend down and examine Ji Nuan. Her forehead was cold, as were her lips. She was as pale as a sheet of paper, her hands trembled. 'I will make them pay!' she made a mental note.

"Arthur!" Not before long, a few men came into the room with ease, standing before her. Arthur bowed his head at Luciella, "I want each and everyone of the people here to not be able to leave, till I decided on how to deal with them!"

"Roger that, Your ladyship." Arthur signaled the other man to get on with what Luciella commanded, while he carried Ji Nuan to leave the estate. "What are you all doing!" Ji Nian hurriedly went to blocked Arthur's path, but unfortunately she got roughly pushed away.

Luciella purposely stepped on her hands, looking down at her. "You're stepping on my hand!" Ji Nian grimace in agony.

"Heed my advice, keep your mouth shut and don't anger me any further..." She stepped on harder, as she twisted her foot on her hand.

"AHHH!" Tears fear from Ji Nian's eyes, 'She's crazy!' she only could breath a sigh of relieve when she saw Luciella leaving the room, her body shuddered in terror.
