He's My Fiancée ! : I Went Back To The Past and You !

Chapter 207: Thirsty-Looking Women

If Xiao Yun did leave the grandpa here, the old man must wait for another person to come or until she finished the tea party. With how little people entering the maze, the first option and the second option will make the old man to wait for hours to exit the maze.

She couldn't do that. Being late to the tea party is one thing but leaving a person for the sake of attending the tea party was another thing.

"You are a very good child." The old man praised for Xiao Yun's kindness and Xiao Yun reply with her angelic smile to humbly thanked the old man's praise. "Thank you for your words."

By the time they did arrive at the entrance of the maze, Xiao Yun bent to ask the old man. "Where would you be going to, grandpa? I will help you there."

The old man shook his head, softly rejecting Xiao Yun's thoughtful kindness. He pointed his cane to the inner of the hall at the person standing near the glass wall. "That wouldn't be needed, young lady. My subordinate is waiting over there, I can go with him."

"Uh-" Xiao Yun nodded, peeking to see the stern-looking man who wore sunglasses in a house. She didn't ask the old man and felt it would be rude to ask who he was. But as a guest to Wang Family, he must be someone important. Seeing the man he called subordinate, she was sure her intuition was right at the point. 

"Then I'll be going first." She bowed with a smile and left to search for a servant to ask where the tea party was really held at. 

The old man stood there, having his subordinate to stand beside him. "Elder is that young master Li Lei's fiancee?" 

"Yes." The old man replied with a smirk. "Hearing the confusion and problem from the family I expected her to be a pompous or a troublemaker girl who would coldly reject to help me. But she was like Xiao-Lei's mother, a very kind person with a good soul." The old man spoke as he turned to walk in the corridor. 

"Where would you be going, elder?" the subordinate asked, following him behind with his back bent to an arc with a worried expression. "I suggest you rest for now. I know that it had been almost twenty-year since you last come back to China but moving here and there now would affect your health."

The old man turned his face. His wrinkly face had a little frown between his forehead. He stared back at the subordinate who seemed to have learned nothing after being under him for two decades. "Where's the tea party being held at?" 

"Tea party?" The subordinated asked and pushed the earpiece on his right ear to asked the butler of the mansion to have the location and replied. "They are holding the tea party on the terrace garden on the third floor."

The old man heard the location and had an exasperated sigh. He rubbed his forehead, grumbling to order the large dog behind him. "Bring me to the elevator. This house is too uselessly big for no reason."

"Yes, sir." The man replied, having a thin smile on his face from the endless irk complain that the old man gave. 

Xiao Yun walked to the elevator that the kind maid pointed to her. She asked of the previous maid who waited for her at the entrance but the maid told her that they have been waiting for her. She walked by the long corridor, searching for the place to see many maids standing in front of a glass sliding door. Guessing the place to be where the tea party would be held, she exhaled a breath and inhaled a mouthful of one. 

The maid saw her and bowed with a slightly scrutinizing gaze. Looking at her, they all seized her up with their staring. They were maids of the socialites and knew far better the faces of the daughters belong to whom but as for Xiao Yun, they don't remember to ever see her face before.

"I'm Yu Xiao Yun, the fiancee of Wang Li Lei." Xiao Yun introduced herself with her collected voice and saw the maids escaped a gasp aloud. 

'Look at that, they have the face of someone who had just seen the world is actually round.' Xiao Yun thought to herself. 

The maids knew how rude they were for gasping aloud at her face after knowing her identity and quickly scattered in fear to open the door for her and heard her asking, "Have the tea party started?"

"Yes, about ten minutes ago." The maid replied.

'I'm late as expected.' Xiao Yun sighed and entered to be greeted by the large beautiful garden with a variety of flowers surrounding around the garden. In the middle of the garden, a few rounded tables were placed with women of socialites sitting in the table to gracefully drink the tea. At first, they seemed to not care about her arrival but she could feel the faint sideways glances directed at her. 

She skimmed the place, turning her eyes to the edge of her eyes to spot Lin Chang Lu sitting in the same table with Wang Yan Zhi and other women. Lin Chang Lu smiled to her but not a kind one, it was a smile of victory. 

'So, she's the one who trapped me.' Xiao Yun verified her speculation in the garden maze. It was weird from the beginning. Most of the servants do not know who she is but the maid immediately knew her identity at first glance. Especially how weird it was for the maid to act brazenly and trapped her in the maze after knowing who she was. Except if the maid trust she has someone who would protect her. Someone who has a big influence enough to do such a thing at Wang Family's house. 

One person, a woman who hated her with a very impactful influence and trustful image to the Wang Family without having anyone to doubt her. 

Seeing the single empty seat in the rounded table where Lin Chang Lu and Wang Yan Zhi's sat, Xiao Yun guessed the seat to be hers but stood first to greet the thirsty-looking women in the place. 

"Excuse me for being late. My name is Yu Xiao Yun, Wang Li Lei's fiancee."
