The Background (2)

After betrayal, Lei believed she couldn’t trust anyone. Lei became cold and distant after that, she stopped talking to everyone, and made sure that if she were to go down, the Lu family would go down with her.

Lei stayed in a hotel for around 2 weeks while she took every chance she could get to ruin the Lu family reputation. If it was a party she would show up there looking disgraceful, a business meeting? She would barge in and ruin it. Lei’s style changed to black crop tops and skinny jeans rather than polite dresses.

It was only until she managed to overhear a conversation between Anna and Xima that she decided things needed to change.

Xima: “Mom that bitch Lei is ruining everything, father won’t even let me go out to get new shoes anymore, all because of the damage Lei has done!”

Anna: “Don’t worry honey, I’ll make sure to put that girl back in her place, no matter what it shall be, we got her to obey us after we killed her mother and grandmother, so we can do the same with that old man too”

Shaking with anger Lei didn’t even go to say hi to her father, which is why she returned to the mansion in the first place, and left the house.

Once she returned back to the hotel she pulled out her computer and started looking up places far away to go to, when an idea popped up in her head. ‘Why don’t I get further education after school and then destroy this family?’

Graduation finally came and it was time for Lei to start looking for a college, and she did just that. That’s when she found WLU. She went to her father to gain permission to go abroad to get further education, and he agreed. She then went to her grandparents house and asked for her Grandfather’s permission, she was planning on telling him everything, but first she knew it would be difficult to gain his trust, for he did not see Lei as his granddaughter anymore because how many things she did to the Lu company.

Pulling up to his house, she took a deep breath and entered. She looked around and didn’t see him so she decided to look in the office, and sure enough, there was her grandpa.

“Grandpa, I have something to discuss with you”

“What are you doing here, who let you in, you unfilial child”

“I let myself in, but I would like to discuss going abroad to get further education, and something else..”

“... go on”

“Well first I looked up some colleges and decided I wanted to go to WLU”

“What are you thinking! Just because you are part of the Lu family doesn’t mean you can just get into any school that you please! That school is difficult to get into even with all the connections you can get”

“I know grandpa, but I believe that I can do it, I am capable of more than you’ve seen, and plus I plan on going there without sharing anything, I planned on making my way to the top on my own”

Looking somewhat pleased they talked a little more about it and after some persuasion he finally agreed.

“Now you said you had something else to tell me?”

Lei looked down, beginning to feel sad, Grandpa looked up confused.

“Well.. you know the car accident mother had while Grandma was driving? The one where..”

Tears started to form in her eyes and Grandpa replied with “yes, go on, what about it?!?”

“Well it was caused by..by Anna and Xima...”

Grandpa looked up and the room dropped 10 degrees causing Lei to shiver, Grandpa looked up and with teeth clenched said “is that all?”

“Well I was also planning on after I go to college and get powerful, to take revenge, I also know that father has been secretly selling the company shares for low prices for a long time ruining the company, I’ve known this for a while though.”

Grandpa didn’t say anything, he walked over to a picture and said “girl, I will be supporting you, but I also have something to show you”

Grandpa pressed in three hidden buttons on his bookshelf and a doorway started to take place, grandpa reached his hand out and led me down into a dark room full of monitors.

“What is this Grandpa?” I said while looking around amazed, “It’s what your mother left behind for you, your mother had always been paranoid, so she decided to build this office for herself to watch over the people she didn’t trust, she knew the night your father had an affair, she was heartbroken, and after a week of divorce, your grandmother decided to take her somewhere, she never told me where, but they never returned. So this is yours now, whatever was hers is now yours, including the Lu company, so I’m putting my trust in you to take it back.”

Lei nodded her head and stayed for dinner, the next morning she said farewell to her grandfather and headed out to start her revenge plan.

While in college Lei met many allies and rivals. But in the end they will all turn out to become the best of friends that they could ever wish for.

After college that is when Lei opened up her corporation as well as traveled to Italy and started her clothing company. She decided she needed backup plans in case her company took a turn for the worse. But knowing Lei, her companies would thrive. Lei also needed to have connections throughout the world in order to be able to gain the power that she needed, which is also why she traveled to Italy instead of staying at WLU before going back to C Country.

Lei’s corporation’s name was IRL Corporations, standing for, In Respect (of) Lillian. Lillian was her mother’s name and she decided to make all of her accomplishments be in relation to her dead mother. Her clothing company’s name was LL, or Lillian Lei’s. Both of her companies had the tightest security, and the most mysterious boss, no one knew who that the boss of her companies was so powerful, or even that it was a she.

After finally building up her reputation, Lei returned to C Country without letting anyone in her family, not even Grandpa yet, of her success, the first person she saw when she returned was Grandpa though. Grandpa greeted Lei back warmly, as they discussed business over the dinner that Lei had cooked.

Grandpa knew something had changed within Lei though, she was no longer the immature girl she used to be, she now dressed in very formal business attire and had a very strong aura that no one wants to be around.

“Isn’t it about time you found a husband Lei?”

Lei almost choked on her food by the sudden subject, a memory popped up in her head, the pictures of her smiling happily with Ivan, then the next of Ivan over Xima in Ivan’s home. Lei looked down sadly and said “I don’t think I’m ready to open my heart again Grandpa” Grandpa took Lei’s hand and said, “everyone is ready to open their hearts after tragedy, it only takes the right person.” Lei smiled pitifully at Grandpa and they continued their meal. Lei and Ghan’s ( Lei’s Grandfather) relationship only grew as time went on, and even though the age difference they became the best of friends.
