I Hate You, Devil!-Chapter 198 The boss is...

Chapter 198 The boss is...

As if she didn't hear anything that was of any importance, Luo Xiaolei let out a bored sigh as she looked at the time on her phone.

\"I have an important matter to attend to,\" she said. \"It's good to see you again my dear stepsister and my dear stepmother.\" She looked at them from their toes up to their head before she smiled and then without a second glance, she walked past between them, leaving the mother and daughter standing there with utter shock on their faces at her strange calmness and unusual gracefulness. They were caught off guard by the sudden surge of an intimidating aura coming from her as soon as she spoke that before they realized it, Luo Xiaolei was gone.

\"M-mother, was that really Xiaolei? She's really different.\" Luo Meili looked appalled as she held her mother's arm as they both looked towards the entrance where she left. \"And… and look at her. Her dress and those accessories are worth millions! I think we are wrong in thinking that she is –\"

\"Shh… Meili. You know that her being engaged to Mr. Yu is not a blessing at all. If it was, he would've married her by now. At the least, the Yu Empire should have publicized her relationship with Mr. Yu by now. But look at what happened to her. It is almost as if she disappeared from the face of the earth. Plus, didn't you hear what you father said - that the mighty Yu Chen has held her captive? Don't be deceived by her appearance. Who knows if her fiancé is actually dressing her like this to please his business partners? Or maybe she has sugar daddies to dress her up like that. Or those could be her reward for selling her soul! I'm sure of that.\"

\"You're right, mother. How unfortunate. Sister is such a smart lady and I know how she hates being bound to anyone but it seems like she's really unlucky. If only she didn't disobey grandmother and grandfather, she wouldn't be in that state now. What a pity.\" Luo Meili said while Mo Lifeng was clenching her fists tight. She was obviously intimidated by her just now and her imposing aura definitely made her felt threatened. When did that helpless country bumpkin become like this?

'You damn brat! How dare you look so arrogant like that when you're just a nameless mistress now?! Heh! Just you wait, I will crush that confidence and arrogance of yours!'

…

When Luo Xiaolei arrived at the venue she was already wearing her mask. She entered the luxurious hall and everyone turned their heads to look at the newcomer. She chose a big blue mask that almost covered her whole face. She knew that it was risky for her if she wore a half mask because people would surely find out that she was Xiao Mimi. She couldn't let that happen - at least not yet - so she had to wear something a little more extreme.

\"Xiaolei!!\" Hinari was the first to approach her. She led her towards her husband who was standing at the front talking to a couple wearing a pair of identical black masks, whom she presumed were Sei and Davi.

\"Thank you for attending despite your busy schedule, Miss CEO.\" Hinari grinned as she whispered at her.

\"Of course I would attend. There's no way I could turn down an invitation from you.\"

\"Haha, thank you, my dear.\"

The party then went on after that. Hinari had made a heartwarming speech, including her husband in it of course, and everyone was touched by her inspirational speech. Of course, her husband was the proudest one of all.

It was already deep at night when the party finally ended.

Luo Xiaolei along with Davi and Hinari were sitting around a table. After about four months, they could finally drink together like this again.

\"Xiaolei, you've lost weight. I hope you're not being too hard on yourself.\" Davi was the one who spoke as she looked at her friend worriedly.

\"I'm fine. Please don't worry.\" She smiled as she sipped on the wine in her hand.

\"Don't worry about your hubby, he will wake up soon.\" She assured and Luo Xiaolei nodded at her. The ladies talk was heartfelt at first, mainly focused on encouraging Xiaolei through the dark pages of her life.

However, after some moments, their topic had shifted into a completely different path.

\"Sure, once my hubby wakes up. I'll make sure to do that.\" Xiaolei was obviously drunk now.

\"That's the spirit, Xiaolei!\"

\"We will cheer for you!\"

\"Thanks. Cheers.\"

…

Earlier at Central hospital

As soon as Luo Xiaolei left, Gu Wei entered Yu Chen's room. He was the one to stand watch this time until Luo Xiaolei was back.

He had heard everything that Xiaolei said when she vented out to Yu Chen because he had stayed by the door. What he heard made him quite emotional and he really felt sorry for Xiaolei.

Heaving a crestfallen sigh, Gu Wei sat on the chair beside Yu Chen's bed. He bent, resting her elbows on his knees. He was looking at his own clasped hands as he began to speak.

\"Boss… I really really hope that you heard Miss Xiaolei's words. I really hope you would listen to her this time. Miss Xiaolei is really strong. She's been doing her very best. She wasn't whining at all and we all know that she was trying hard. But boss, she's really suffering. She really misses you now. I really believe that she needs you so bad. If you don't wake up now, she will probably become like the old you. I mean, she's already becoming a workaholic like you, she rarely smiles now and I'm afraid she might forget how to smile if you continue like this. So can you please wake up now? For her sake? You don't want her to grow cold, right? You don't want her to suffer for too long, right? Sigh… think of my job, too. I never got a single documentary since you fell asleep. T^T\"

Feeling emotional, Gu Wei sighed again and as he lifted his head, his soul almost left him! This was because he saw Yu Chen's fingers moving.

\"Whoah!! Boss, are you waking up?!!\" Gu Wei looked at his face and he saw his brows pulled together a bit.

Gu Wei almost fell in surprise. He frantically brought out his phone and called Yang Jin.

\"Hello… Yang Jin, the boss is… the boss is… his fingers moved and… and… I think he's waking up!!!\"
