Chapter 16

　　Louie Chu was right; her grandma was her weakness. Her adoptive parents had exploited this and blackmailed her with it, which was why she was in this situation in the first place. But with them, there was still room for resistance. If this man decided that he was at war with her, wouldn't she be slaughtered? 　　Quickly concealing the panic in his heart, Anna Qin pretended to be calm, and shook her head. "I don’t see you as my enemy." 　　"Oh?" 　　Anna Qin spoke carefully. "Sir, you're upright and generous, how can you do such a sinister thing?" It was a half-truth, but still she thought it was an educated guess. She had seen how he had behaved during his grandmother’s emergency. 　　Louie squinted his eyes, the corners of his lips curled up with an arc of inexplicable meaning, "You're the first to comment on me like this." 　　"It’s what I saw," She said simply, but a warning bell sounded in her heart. From now on, she told herself, you have to be more careful with what comes out of your mouth. 　　Louie didn't continue the topic, his smile narrowed, and he looked at Anna Qin's cleaning suit with disgust. 　　"Where did these clothes come from?" 　　Anna Qin answered truthfully. "I ordered it online. There were reporters outside your house. I was afraid of being seen when I came out, so I changed my outfit on purpose." 　　Louie Chu appeared satisfied with her caution. 　　He solemnly ordered. "Hector, deal with those reporters." 　　"Yes, sir." 　　When they arrived at the house, not one reporter could be seen. 　　Anna Qin got off the car, followed Louie Chu and walked into the house. 　　When he entered the hall, he suddenly stopped and looked at her with frown. 　　"Change. Now." 　　He thought she was an eyesore. 　　Anna Qin didn't say anything, turned around and went into the bathroom. 　　When she came out, she was wearing the skirt that Mrs. Chu had given her. 　　Anna Qin explained to Louie's dark gaze, "I have all my clothes at home, there’s nothing else I can wear." 　　After speaking, he frowned, took out his cell phone, and dialed the number. 　　"Hector, come back." 　　Outside the house, Hector, who had not left yet, quickly went inside. 　　"Take her out to buy clothes and daily necessities." 　　He handed her a card. Upon seeing this, Anna Qin tentatively said. "Sir, I still have to deal with—" 　　Louie Chu glanced at her with a cold tone, "I'll give you half a day to for your personal affairs." 　　She didn't expect it to be so easy. 　　She smiled, "Thank you." 　　Louie Chu, "Give me your phone." 　　Anna Qin was puzzled, but complied. 　　He quickly punched a series of numbers into her mobile phone. After confirming that he’d entered the correct number with a call, he returned the mobile phone to her. 　　"Save my number and go to the study to find me after you’re done." 　　"Okay." Anna Qin responded and stored the number in her contacts, as “Mr. Chu.” 　　Seeing his long back, she turned around, "Mr. Wei, let's go." 　　The two went shopping. 　　Hector Wei took Anna Qin to the famous shopping center in Haicheng. 　　Clothing, jewelry, bags...the top international brands that celebrities and wealthy ladies liked, there were all here. 　　Women's desire to shop is well-documented. What's more, Anna Qin, the woman who tried to cling to the Chu family's family, is definitely a gold digger. She would go crazy when she sees it. 　　"Madam, please pick your clothes." Hector said, averting his eyes to hide the contempt he must be showing on it. 　　Anna Qin went straight to a women's clothing store. 　　"These two, that... please help me get the S code and pack it." 　　She pointed to the clothes on the display rack and bought them simply. 　　Out of earshot, he scoffed. She must be a woman who worships gold and can't resist the temptation. 　　Just as he thought of reminding Anna Qin to be more restrained, he saw her walking towards him with a packed shopping bag. 　　"I’m done, let’s buy shoes." 　　Hector was puzzled. "Have you even tried it out?" 　　Anna Qin glanced at the bag, "Four pairs of clothes should be enough. I don't need to try it; it looks like it’s going to fit anyway." 　　She had taken less than three minutes to pick clothes. 　　Anna Qin didn't like to go shopping. She preferred to buy clothes online, so as not to waste her time and energy. She had more important things to do. 　　Besides, she knew very well that the clothes that Louie asked her to buy were just a costume. She just needed to look like a rich man’s wife. 　　She didn’t want to waste too much time shopping. 　　Anna proceeded to choose shoes and bags. She only bought two or three of them. 　　Hector Wei was dumbfounded. 　　When Anna Qin was about to leave, he finally recovered. 　　After passing a jewelry counter, Hector couldn't help but say, "Madam, don't you want to buy some jewelry?" 　　"I'm not used to wearing these things." 　　"But you're Mrs. Louie Chu now." 　　Hector's words caused Anna Qin to stop and think slightly. She pointed to a necklace and said, "Then let’s get that one." 　　"Good." Hector Wei breathed a sigh of relief. 　　It wasn't as he had expected. How could he be the one reminding her to buy things? 　　A woman such as her, who worships gold, should be more interested in shopping! 　　Hector Wei looked at Anna Qin's eyes with a weird look. 　　When they left, Chloe Wang and her daughter got out of the car and walked into the shopping center.
