"This is your first time here, isn't it Ms. Yu?" Mrs. Yan attacked again. Like a dog who has beaten up and down but still barking, she had a very thick face like a brick of pillar. This time around, they want to nudge Xiao Yun by mentioning who was far suitable for the only heir of Wang Family.
"It isn't." Xiao Yun replied briefly, making the woman to have a faint strike of a surprise to her face.
"Is that so?" Lin Chang Lu questioned having also the same surprised face. As someone who had been staying beside Wang Li Lei as his childhood friend, she never remembered seeing a younger girl in the house.
"Yes, but I was young at the time so I can't really remember when did I come here." Xiao Yun replied again, taking the teacup to take a mouthful of a sip.
Wang Shi Ning rubbed her chin. "But I have never seen you before. Did you really visited our house before? I can't remember."
"It was around eleven years ago, I can't blame you for not remembering it." Xiao Yun spoke gently but Wang Shi Ning gave an uninterested oh and quickly turned her head back to Lin Chang Lu. Seeing them, Xiao Yun could see why Lin Chang Lu was sure that she's the most suitable person as Wang Li Lei's fiancée. It was because almost all the family members of Wang Family had taken her like their own daughter.
The women replied with a long oh, at this moment Wang Yan Zhi still didn't speak anything. If she did it was only to reply to the chattering of the women and Wang Shi Ning who spoke at her. But the way she is, a little cold and distant the people who talk to her had only a short monologue.

"That being said, the road here was very crowded with traffic, isn't it, Ms. Yu? Although late is a very embarrassment, I could understand your trouble." Mrs. Yan attacked again.
'Why does she kept on aiming for me?' Xiao Yun sighed internally. Not knowing she missed a moment ago when Mrs. Yan sending a cluing glance at Lin Chang Lu. But inward she knew that they had been working together from the start, or else why would Mrs. Yan dare to keep firing canons of sarcastic remarks toward her?
This symbolizes how Lin Chang Lu had upmost respect and power in this socialite's gathering. That was perhaps also why they didn't care about offending her if she is in their backup. Xiao Yun had faintly perceived Lin Chang Lu's capability in controlling people's opinion when she was in her Summer House but once again she learned how deep this efficacy of her popularity is.
The question that Mrs. Yan gave held a snake-like trap in it that only some people could pick on. Surely Xiao Yun could blame it all she like at the traffic that Mrs. Yan quoted, but that was another trick. The road to Wang Family's house could never have traffic and agreeing to Mrs. Yan's words meaning digging grave and proving that she lied. Even if she said I'm late because of the late notice or the suddenness of the notice they would have their sly ways on finding faults from her words.
She didn't regret coming late to the tea party for helping the grandfather, to her eyes at that time it was something she had to do and she's proud to do so. Thus she kept to her believe.
Xiao Yun took up a gentle smile from the eyes of the people who were blazing with the intent of roasting her from whatever she replied. "I was lost in the garden maze." She replied to have Lin Chang Lu lining her deep red lips to a smirk.

"Lost in the garden? How come you lost yourself in the garden?" Lin Chang Lu added a worrying expression to weave her elegant brows. "Did perhaps the maid who brought you here showed you the wrong place?"
"Oh my!" The Wang Shi Ning gasped, "How could that be? I don't believe the maid in our family would dare to do such an impudent thing."
Lin Chang Lu waited for Xiao Yun to agree with her words and have her searching for the maid when in reality there wasn't such a person. She would lend her hand, saying that he would search justice for her friend when in reality she would make the problem even bigger and put the servant in disarray. After making the racket, they wouldn't be able to find the maid the people would saw her as a liar who couldn't just admit that she was late.
Of course, Xiao Yun could pick up to her trap since the first and had something else in her mind. Running her finger to the curvy party of the cup, she replied softly, "No, the maid showed me the right place but unfortunately I have a very poor sense of direction and instead lost my way here. But fortunate enough I found a way out. Chang Lu, you worried too much." Xiao Yun narrowed her eyes coldly this time, "Having a maid to bring me to he wrong place, it's almost impossible, don't you think? I doubt there would be anyone boring evil intention in here. Including the maids or the attendants here." She placed her stress on her words, making the women who heard her words to feel a sudden coldness and gulped unknowingly.
"Is- Is that so?" Lin Chang Lu returned, holding doubt in her heart. She hadn't yet asked the maid that cahooted with her but when she saw Xiao Yun was late, she was sure that her plan in trapping her work. But based in Xiao Yun's answer she seemed to be genuine. Even if she is an idiotic or naive person after being lead to the false place, she wouldn't claim herself to only have a poor sense of direction.
"Yes." Xiao Yun confirmed again.
"Oh, you should have bring someone with you then. If you just ask a maid to help you, you wouldn't have to be late." Wang Shi Ning still blamed Xiao Yun for her lateness. Although Xiao Yun knew how the girl was always late than her. That's a wall-faces woman for you.

Draugr Cell //Layer 01-- Investiture:
With the end of the only war to ever reach mainland Australia I found myself living out of a small room in an old military compound that had been handed over to the jurisdiction of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The end of the war, unfortunately, didn't mean the end of hostilities. The terrorism trend that had started back in the early 2000's with the attack on the world trade center over in America, had spread to just about every country on the face of the planet. Over time the constant threat from various groups meant the civilian police force was quickly undermanned, under equipped, and overwhelmed. They were simply unable to respond to the daily threats in any reasonable time frame, and in many situations lacked the both the skills and equipment required to deal with the threats to put them down in a 'safe' and expedient manner. Veterans of the war that were being reintegrated into society however, were just about everywhere, all the time. We have the training and the skills required to deal with just about any threat you care to mention, all we needed was access to the equipment to do so. In a world first, under the new Veterans program, the Australian government had taken the rather controversial step of allowing specifically selected veterans to go armed in public. Sure, with Australian weapons laws being very, very strict there were a number of hurdles to get over first, but that's where the selection part comes in. Tangentially that's actually how I met Brianna, my current partner. We work as ringers in Victory City, I thought being thrown into imptomtu combat operations and risking my life on a daily basis for barely livable wages was excitement enough. Then I met her... it... I don't know. An AI unlike anything else out there has wedged itself into my life and decided it needs to... look after me. What could possibly go wrong? **** This is the first book I have released, and my first entry into a cyberpunk universe. There is minimal drug use, a fair amount of sex, a bit of gory violence, and a sultry AI that has decided the main character needs a harem.
