Chapter 252 - NOT SINCERE

Shortly after Kaito left the scene, the driver opened his eyes. He looked around the area with confusion. The last thing he remembered was resting in his vehicle while waiting for Song Lili and her agent. He felt a little sleepy after a long night of drinking with his buddies.

He closed his eyes just for a few moments. ​​

How had he ended up in this part of town?

He looked behind and saw Song Lili and her agent sleeping. The driver screamed in his head. Had he started sleepwalking? How had he picked them up without knowing?

Maybe he should cut down on going to clubs with his friends every night. Who knew the kind of things he had eaten out there?

A lot of things ran through his mind at that moment. However, he was sure of one thing: he did not want to have a confrontation with Song Lili. The woman looked like a gentle angel, but she was a nightmare when she was in a bad mood.

He started the vehicle and began driving to Song Lili's house. As far as they knew, he had been awake the entire time. Anyone who wanted to accuse him had to break evidence.

A long time after they left the scene, Song Lili and her agent opened their eyes and realised that they were close to her apartment. They were confused for a while and wanted to ask what had happened. But then, Song Lili noticed her purse with things spilt out on the floor.

"Can't you be more careful while driving?" She shouted at the driver with irritation.

She bent down to collect her items and felt some dull aches in her body. She cursed the driver again as she ȧssumed it was his poor driving that had caused him to be in pain.

When she saw that her phone was broken, she felt even angrier. Not only was the screen shattered, but she also could not turn it on. She was puzzled because there were mats on the floor. However, she did not have to ponder on it further.

She looked at her watch and realised that it was almost noon.

"Take my bags up to my apartment. I will go directly to the Zhong family mansion." She ordered her agent casually.

Song Lili was afraid that her short window of opportunity would close up if she did not act quickly. If she delayed for too long, Madam Zhong might reject meeting her.

The agent wanted to oppose her. If Zhong Lili left with the driver, she could not discuss with him the possibility of signing up. Moreover, she had an appointment with her family for lunch.

"Don't act wronged. When I succeed, you will also benefit, won't you?" Song Lili lifted a brow when she saw that her agent wanted to rebel.

The agent was tempted by the words and could only nod. When they arrived, the driver took out the suitcases from the trunk quickly before returning to his driving post. The man was scared that the women might notice some hint of sleepiness or drowsiness from him.

The agent, who had been hoping to get his contact details, could only look at the back of his head. For some reason, she felt like it was not the same person. The aura was different. She frowned. Maybe she was just tired.

When the vehicle drove away, she kicked Song Lili's suitcase vengefully before dragging it to the building.

It was only by building herself to match the image of a perfect daughter-in-law that she could hope to fight against that despicable and crazy Hu Lei.

She fixed her lipstick and restyled her hair with her simple to-go cosmetic bag. She straightened her clothes and polished her shoes with soft tissue paper.

She felt that she looked pretty good. The only problem was the heaviness in her body. She could move freely, but there was a dull sensation of aching deep in her muscles. Perhaps she was too tired after spending so much time shooting the stupid commercial.

Remembering how the director had rebuked her constantly with a sharp tongue made her thirst for revenge.

"Ms Song, we are at the gate." The driver said.

Song Lili opened the window to show her face so that the security personnel would let her into the Zhong home. The guard in charge of inspecting their car looked at her with suspicion. He had never seen her.

"Who are you?" He asked politely.

Song Lili clenched her teeth in anger before breathing in and smiling. "I am Song Lili. I am close to Madam Zhong."

She expected the guard to fawn over her, but he just nodded. "Madam Zhong has informed us that you will be a guest today."

As the car drove in, Song Lili felt wronged. She could understand the meaning behind the perfunctory words of the guard. Madam Zhong, who had always introduced her in an intimate manner like they were mother and daughter, no longer cared enough.

She was drawing lines between them by informing the guards that she would be a guest just for the day.

If she were still sincere towards her like in the past, just showing her face would have been enough for her to walk freely in and around the Zhong home.
