Fear surged throughout her whole body but she didn’t give up. Suddenly she thought of something and she looked up, “Yifeng… Yifeng needs me. I can help him with his

business. Roulan please let me live. I promise I won’t tell anybody anything. I want to live Roulan… ”

Roulan laughed holding her chin, “Yifeng? Let me think…. ”

“Tsk… Tsk… My dear elder sister. At first, I thought that for him I should keep you alive but then I found out something…. do you want to know? ”

Li Xiaolu lowered her heard not saying anything when suddenly someone smacked her head. Wincing in pain she heard Xuimin mock, “Hey, shouldn’t you be excited. It’s about you… ”

Li Roulan smiled, “My dear elder sister, have you ever thought why our parents kept you hidden? Why you were never shown as a member of the Li family? Even if you did so many things for us, why were you never loved by them? Have you ever thought about it? ”

Li Xiaolu clenched her fist. At first, she never thought about it but now she wants to know. Why? Why was she being treated like this?

She looked at Li Roulan hoping she would get some answers. Li Roulan mocked,” Being so intelligent you should have guessed it. Or is it that you only know how to seduce men with they face of yours?”

“But anyway I’ll tell you. You are not a member of the Li family. You are not my eldest sister. You are an orphan that my dad picked up from the streets. You are nothing but a mere servant of our Li family…. ” she laughed.

An orphan…

Not a member of the Li family…

Li Xiaolu closed her eyes….. finally everything was crystal clear. Finally, she understood everything when she heard Li Roulan sigh, ” That’s what I thought Xioulu… I thought you were a nobody, a mere orphan… but I was wrong. ”

She looked at her sharply, ” You do have parents. You belong to one of the prestigious family. And you know what they are searching for you….. ”

My real parents are searching for me…

Hope lit up in her eyes. She can’t die here. She has to get out of here no matter what. She has to find her real parents…

She cried begging, “Roulan who are my real parents? I beg you Roulan. I want to live. Roulan I beg you… ”

Xuimin frowned, ” Xiaolu being from such a prestigious family how can you beg someone? Aren’t you feeling ashamed ?”

Li Roulan smirked, ” Now that I know about your parents Xiaolu, I can’t let you live. You have to die today. As for Yifeng, you don’t have to worry about him. Your real family would take care of us… ”

Li Xiaolu felt in despair looking at these shameless people in front of her. But she will not give up. She had to try everything that she could do to get out of here…

Looking at Chen Yufan she begged, “Chen Yufan I beg you please let me live. I won’t tell anybody anything. Roulan would listen to you, please… I want to live….”

This was the man for whom she was madly in love with. He looked nothing like the man she fell for. He looked at her as if she was a disgusting thing and it hurt deeply. ” Xiaolu I feel disgusting looking at your dirty face. You are an eyesore. If Roulan wants to kill you…..then let her… ”

He gave her a charming smile, ” Xiaolu you always listen to my every word, don’t you? So be a good girl and die… It’s my wedding gift to her”

Li Roulan laughed as she walked towards Chen Yufan and gave him a kiss, ” I love you so much… ”

He rubbed her forehead lovingly, “Finish this fast… I can’t wait anymore… ”

“Hmm… ” she blushed and looked at Li Xiaolu, “Brother Yufan had said. So, it’s time for us to say goodbye Xiaolu… ”

Suddenly Li Xiaolu felt some liquid being poured over her. Widening, her eyes she looked at the kerosene bottle in Xuimin’s hand which she was pouring all over the room.

Frightened, she cried struggling very hard against the ropes, “Roulan…. no… please… I beg you….. Roulan… ”

“Xiaolu you really have to die… Goodbye… ” Roulan smirked as she turned to leave.

“At least tell me who my parents are ?” Li Xiaolu yelled.

Roulan held Chen Yufan’s arm and with a mocking smile, she said, “Anyways you are going to die dying. What will you do knowing about them? Have a happy death Xiaolu… ”

They laughed at her as she saw them going further away. Roulan turned as she took out a lighter and threw it in the room. Giving her a victorious smile, she closed the door.

Soon the whole room was engulfed in flames as the fire was getting bigger and bigger. Li Xiaolu struggled very hard as she tried to get out of the ropes. She called for help hoping that someone could hear her.

No… I cannot die here… I have to get out… My parents are out there somewhere waiting for me…

With determination, Li Xiaolu struggled harder. Finally, she felt the ropes in her hands loosening. The whole room was almost in fire and was filled with smoke.

Coughing a little, Li Xiaolu freed her hands and bent to free her legs. Freeing her legs, she somehow got up. She felt her vision blurry as she staggered towards the door.

Just a little more…

Hope, lit in her eyes as she was very close to the door when everything around her went black.
