153 Bonus Chapter [Share the room or move out]
Lily was touring the second floor to select a room. She saw a total of three rooms empty on the West side and they were well decorated. But they weren’t just up to her taste.
While touring, her eyes fell on the last room that was opposite Lu Xuan’s room. The door wasn’t closed so she could see inside. She gasped when she looked at a princess-style room decorated in baby pink and white colour. Pink wasn’t her colour but the room was so pretty that she couldn’t help but enter it. She didn’t care if someone lived here or not. It was hers now.
It wasn’t like the Lu family had any girls living here. She was free to live here, right?
She ran downstairs in a nice mood when she saw the housekeeper Liu coming out of Lu Xuan’s room with a helpless sigh.
“Housekeeper Liu, I selected a room. You can bring my luggage upstairs, “Lily said with a bright smile. “I will stay here while you come with my luggage.”
“Alright, Miss Zhou, “Housekeeper Liu said as she went downstairs to fetch the girl’s luggage.
Lily entered the room and gasped as she felt how luxurious and beautiful the room was. Her gaze fell on the dressing table that was filled with numerous latest and most expensive makeup products. Most of them were eye makeup products and were in glitter. She wasn’t a big fan of anything glittery.
She opened the three doors that were located inside the bedroom. One led to the bathroom, another to the closet area and the last one to the balcony.
This room wasn’t any smaller than Lu Xuan’s room.
She lay on the bed and sighed. Ah, even the bed was so soft and comfortable. As she was lying with her eyes closed, she did not see a confused teenage girl at the door.
“Young Miss?” Housekeeper Liu furrowed her brows when she saw An Xiulan standing at the door, frozen. “What’s wrong?”
An Xiulan didn’t say anything, she merely pointed her finger at her bed where someone was lying.
“Give me a minute, Young Miss, “Housekeeper Liu said with a distressed look on his face. She walked inside, fidgeting. She could just imagine the big drama taking place in the house. “Miss Zhou.” She softly called the other girl’s name. “You are in the wrong room, Miss Zhou.”
Lily opened her eyes to find the old maid hovering over her face. She asked slightly annoyed, “What do you want?”
“You are in the wrong room, Miss Zhou, “Housekeeper Zhou said while maintaining a smile on her face.
“Excuse me?” Lily said in English. “This is where I’m staying.”
Housekeeper Liu still said in a respectful tone, “This is Young Miss’s room. Young Master’s twin is living in this room.”
Lily looked at the old man in surprise. She had heard a thing or two about Lu Xuan’s twin but her mom told her not to pay attention to someone who would never return to the Lu family. Now, how come this twin was back?
She couldn’t force this twin to live out of her room. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Suddenly, an idea struck her.
“Housekeeper Liu, since Cousin Lu Xuan and I are close. I don’t think his twin would mind sharing the room with me, “Lily said with a bright smile. “We will stay in this room like sisters.”
“Absolutely not!” An Xiulan shouted, her big doe eyes full of anger.
“You!!” Lily pointed her finger at the girl who she hated a lot. If she could, she would have thrown her out of her life. Because of this girl, her father was angry with her. The committee that was set up to investigate the suicide case found her guilty and called her parents to school. She was scolded so badly. Because of her father’s influence, the matter was suppressed. However, the insult she faced was still green in her mind.
“Yes me, yours truly, An Xiulan, “An Xiulan said with a scoff. “This is my room. I’m not sharing the room with a white lotus such as you.”
“Young Miss, “Housekeeper Liu gasped as he heard An Xiulan’s words.
“Why do you hate me so much?” Lily’s voice suddenly turned into a whisper as tears streamed down her cheeks. “What have I done to have you hate me so much? Is it because of my sister Yue? I know sister Yue is your best friend but you don’t have to retaliate by hurting me every time we meet.”
“If I could, I would have beaten you with that steel pipe black and blue, “An Xiulan sneered.
Hearing her words, Lily began to cry pitifully.
“What’s happening here?” An angry voice was heard soon.
An Xiulan’s back stiffened in fear as she heard her grandmother’s angry voice directed at her.
“Child, why are you crying?” Old Madam Lu was distressed to see Lily crying. She brought the girl home to shower her with love not to have her cry so pitifully.
“Grandma Lu, am I that bad that Cousin Xiulan didn’t even want to share the room with me?” Lily sobbed as she hugged the older woman. Her eyes were cold as she looked at An Xiulan. She could guess the girl’s identity.
“You!” Old Madam Lu pointed her cane at An Xiulan. “How could you make Lily cry? And how dare you give her the threat of beating her? She is my guest. How dare you! Is this what your wild mother taught you? Like mother, like daughter!”
An Xiulan only looked at her feet, not returning a word.
“You will share the room with Lily or you will move to the guest room and give this room to Lily to live while she stays in our house, “The old lady gave the orders. “Move Lily’s stuff here. If this girl agrees to share the room, fine. Or she can move to the guest room.”
