" I have some works to do. 10:00am tomorrow " Zheng Tianyi nodded his head at her and walked out of the meeting room leaving Jiang Xiuying in a daze.
" Did he just sign the contract?" She looked even scared to look at her own copy for fear that his signature would vanish." Yes!!!" She screamed in excitement clenching her fist. She quickly got out of the office and made her way to where she had left Yuxuan and Shancai." Caicai, where is Yuxuan? " Xiuying asked as she approached Shancai and Han Sen. She expected Yuxuan to welcome her as she entered the waiting room but he didn't. She couldn't even catch a glimpse of him in the wide room.
Shancai felt her heart jump out of her mouth hearing her boss voice. How could she be able to tell her boss that Yuxuan went missing for about two hours now. She pursed her lips, her heart pumping in fear and uneasiness." Err...Yuxuan, he went to...." She bit her lower lips in nervousness. Han Sen's brain worked rapidly. What he had mistaken for a earring was really a little boy.
But, who was Yuxuan to Shancai and Jiang Xiuying?
Jiang Xiuying raised an eyebrow up. Crossing her arms, she slowly took a step towards Shancai. The evil glint in her eyes was bright enough to blind a person.
" Where is Yuxuan?" Jiang Xiuying smiled brightly evoking some kind of creepiness. The bright smile that didn't reach her eyes at all. Looking closer, her lower lips was quivering slightly in fear. Fear that something bad had happened to her son. He couldn't possibly shout for help due to his condition.
Her sharp eyes snapped towards Han Sen that had been behind Shancai.
" I clearly told you not to allow any stranger close to him. And this? You defiled my order. Just a little boy, you can't take care of. How can I trust you to manage my company affairs!!! " Jiang Xiuying laughed again.
" I need to see the CCTV footage " Jiang Xiuying demanded tearing Han Sen's soul apart with her eyes.
Luckily, Han Sen managed to compose himself. " I'm sorry Ms Jiang. It is against the company rules to show the footage to a person that isn't part of the company staffs."
" OK" Jiang Xiuying gave a slight smile and walked out of the room. Shancai and Han Sen exchanged glances. They knew she was up to something that was no good. The both of them ran out to see what she was up to. Han Sen received a call from President Zheng indicating his presence was needed.
After hanging up, he saw the two ladies had already entered the elevator. He quickly ran towards them and joined them inside.
"Ding!!" The elevator dinged and the doors opened. Jiang Xiuying impatiently stepped out but pursed and took a step back inside the elevator.
" Damn...Why does she have to be here of all place" Sighing deeply, she got out of the elevator. " Try to get her occupied. She mustn't see me get into his office" Xiuying ordered Han Sen. " Come with me" She ordered Shancai.
Han Sen didn't understand how his body just moved to obey Jiang Xiuying on his own. He busied himself making small talks with Liu Li. After Jiang Xiuying successfully entered, he also excused himself to meet his boss.
"..." The sight before Han Sen made his eyes almost pop out. On the chair his boss usually sits on was a little boy that looked exactly like Zheng Tianyi. He was sleeping soundly on the chair.
Han Sen eyes traveled around the spacious office and rested on the back of President Zheng who was facing the transparent glass wall. He scratched his head in nervousness. Surely, he and Liu Li would be in trouble for letting a stranger in his office without prior notice.
He opened his mouth to speak but was stopped by Jiang Xiuying's cold voice.
" What do you think you are doing by keeping Yuxuan in your office?" Her voice was very cold that it sent shiver down the spine of everyone present except Zheng Tianyi that remained unfazed by her cold voice.
" You can leave now" Zheng Tianyi said to no one in particular. Han Sen and Shancai tactfully left the office. The atmosphere was too suffocating for them to stay any longer.
He turned around and looked at Jiang Xiuying with his face void of any emotion.
" Keep him? I think it's best for me to ask for your motive for sending him secretly into my office."
Jiang Xiuying let out a low laugh. " My motive? What can a four year old possibly do? I was already close to getting married to you, do you think I already planned this knowing that Yuxuan's presence who put an end to our tomorrow plan? President Zheng, don't you think your choice of words is inappropriate?
" So you have a son and intended to trick me into marrying you?. What other despicable things have you done? I should have not trusted you by judging the innocent face you have and the worthless piece of information you provided. " Zheng Tianyi's lips curled downwards.
Jiang Xiuying's heart shook in pain seeing the look on Zheng Tianyi's face. She tucked her hair behind her ears and walked towards her sleeping son, she carried him and glanced at Zheng Tianyi.
" President Zheng, I think we have a lot of things to talk about or don't you think so?" Jiang Xiuying smiled at him genuinely. She proceed to lay him on one of the couch in Zheng Tianyi's office.
Zheng Tianyi : [—_–] He thought she wanted to leave his office not knowing she was still staying.
As if noticing Zheng Tianyi's gaze on her, she said, " President Zheng, I'm sorry for my outburst earlier. I know it was wrong of me to do so. As an apology, I will grant you the permission to ask me three questions. I promise to reply truthfully. "
Han Sen couldn't stop his heart from beating fast. He had a feeling that something big was going to happen between Zheng Tianyi and Jiang Xiuying." Do you think they would be alright in the same office together? " He asked wearily. He knew his boss had a bit of temper but as for Jiang Xiuying, he couldn't say the same. If she had even half of the tempore of his boss, it could lead to a big fight." Hey, calm down. They can't be as unreasonable as you are. They are adults and would sort out their differences amicably. " Shancai shrugged nonchalantly. She had worked for her boss long enough to know how she does her things. If her thought wasn't wrong, Jiang Xiuying would try to make a bet or something with him that he would be unable to refuse.* * * *" President Zheng, I really apologize for my outburst earlier. You know, I'm not usually like that. I am a very friendly and easy going person. As an apology, I will grant you the p
Yuxuan woke up not long after Jiang Xiuying left. He saw himself in an unfamiliar place. Rubbing his eyes, he tried to recalled how he got there.= Flashback begins=" Hey, you must be Shancai right. I saw something glowing from afar and thought the lights were on. I never knew you were the one glowing like a diamond " Han Sen approached Shancai with a jovial smile.Using the opportunity that Shancai was being distracted by Han Sen, he walked through the quiet hallway. Since it was empty, he didn't have any problem. He couldn't help but think the interior of Caomei Entertainment was very similar to that of his Uncle's.He sighted some staffs that entered the elevator so he followed them and wasn't noticed for his small height. The staffs went ahead to the Liu Li's office and he used the opportunity to enter Zheng Tianyi's office.Zheng Tianyi's seat was very comfortable that Yuxuan slept off without knowing.= Flashback endsYuxua
It was already 6:00pm the normal time for the staff's of Caomei Entertainment to get off work if their President was in a good mood. Some of the staffs had got off work leaving the rest who still waited voluntarily to complete their unfinished works.Zheng Tianyi led Yuxuan out of his office to the special elevator only meant for him. At the underground parking lot, Han Sen stood straight beside the Rolls Royce with his arms placed at his front. Seeing his boss and the little version of the boss, he opened the back seat of the car for the two of them to enter.Zheng Tianyi whispered something to Han Sen before helping Yuxuan into the car and entering himself.Han Sen was very quick to act fast on the instruction given by his boss. Yuxuan needed to be protected thus the elite bodyguards needed to be multiplied and stationed around them rather the low key protection Zheng Tianyi always moves around with." Where would you like to eat?" Zheng Tianyi asked Yu
Mr. Ming was already thinking about how more people would flood his restaurant if he should release the piece of news to the media. He was just your typical greedy man that could do anything for money even with how rich he already was.He could have released the news but he knew better than to allow his years of hard work go down the drain. He would surely be the first to be suspected which would mean a big goodbye to his business.Luckily for him, he was rational enough to think about the outcome of messing with the Golden King of the entertainment industry.* * * * =One of the private rooms=" Li Shang, do you think Ah Yi is coming? It's already getting late " Zhou Kexin said looking at Li Shang's face." Oh....that, I called him but he said he had some works to take care of " Li Shang lied. He didn't put a call across Zheng Tianyi at all." Ahh...I see " Zhou Kexin slowly nodded feeling downhearted. She wouldn't ha
" Butler Yim, prepare a room for this child. It should be filled with necessities that you think he would need" Zheng Tianyi ordered as he entered the house. Just like butler Yim, the three maids on night duty were also equally surprised but couldn't show it on their faces as they have been professionally trained. They just carried on with their duties keeping on a straight face." Hey, did you see Master Zheng just now?" One of the maids asked as soon as Zheng Tianyi disappeared." Of course. Who was that little boy he carried? " The second maid asked looking equally surprised." Could that be his secret son? Thinking about how he once disappeared for a year. It's possible he was married '' The first maid replied placing her hand on hr chin.The third maid approached them and whispered, " Didn't you hear that Master Zheng is unable to do that ' thing ' again after his accident? That's the reason he hasn't being married given how old he is. No matter how
" How is Yutong? " Jiang Xiuying asked in English as she took a seat in front of Dr. Yukira.The Doctor removed the glasses he was putting on and moved his chair closer to the table." I will be frank with you, it's a miracle that her fingers twitched. The poison in her body has already stop spreading further. Since we are still unable to detect the kind of poison in her body, we can only continue to monitor her for now. Hopefully, if she continues responding to treatment and the poison doesn't spread she might regain her consciousness very soon " Dr. Yukira informed as he reclined on his chair.Jiang Xiuying nodded in understanding. If the poison doesn't spread to her heart, she might be able to regain consciousness but if it spreads, they might have to prepare for the worst. She felt a lump in her throat that made her unable to question the Doctor any further." Ms. Jiang, don't you think it's high time for you to drop the guilt you are feeling and visi
Jiang Xiuying stared at the name tag on the door for a while and placed her hand on the door knob. She was in deep thought that she didn't even realise Michael and Marcus were not guarding the room. She tried to open the door but couldn't bring herself to do it.Jiang Xiuying exhaled loudly and tried to open the door again but she met with a dead end.' Even my body is subconsciously refusing to see Yutong ' Jiang Xiuying thought sadly as she sat on the bench outside the ward." You don't have to force yourself. It's okay that you already made an attempt to see her " Lu Beichen strolled towards her and sat beside her." I guess" Jiang Xiuying replied tiredly combing her fingers through her hair." You should go home. Grandfather requested for your presence. "" Chairman Lu ? Did he say the reason? "" Nope. I guess you should leave now, he has a flight to catch in two hours " Lu Beichen looked at his wristwatch ." Alright. " S
Jiang Xiuying pulled the car over as she got to the front of an Hospital. She removed the earphones from her ear and looked above her right shoulder." You...." Jiang Xiuying intently stared at him. " You are Chinese right?" She asked speaking Mandarin Chinese.Si Feng slowly nodded his head. He removed the baseball cap he was wearing and tightly held on to it. There was no need to hide his face again. He sensed she didn't have any intention to hand him over to the police since her car was parked in front of an hospital." Why did you take that man's money? " Si Feng heard Jiang Xiuying's melodious voice in his ear. He raised his head up and was surprised by her beauty. She looked just like a goddess with her almond shaped eyes showing some sort of curiosity. Si Feng gulped twice to use his saliva to wet his suddenly dry throat." My mother is sick and I'm in need of money to buy her drugs." He replied with his head lowered down. He felt embarrassed that
" You dropped this" A young man in a light pink hair extended his left hand that was holding an handkerchief towards Jiang Xiuying.Jiang Xiuying turned her neck to look at the person who was seating beside her that just talked. Her eyes flew open as she kept on staring at him without an intention to collect the handkerchief he stretched out to her.The man grinned widely and placed the handkerchief in Jiang Xiuying's hand then took his hand to his lips and made a zipping sign. " I know you must be surprised to see me on plane but don't post a picture or spread the news online" He told her lightly still smiling widely.Jiang Xiuying played with the handkerchief for a while and placed it on her laps. " Why should I take your picture or spread the news online?"" That's because.... Wait. What? You mean you don't know who I am? Ahhh....I get it now. You must be pretending right?" He spoke very swiftly staring at her as if she was an alien.&
After knocking twice on the door of the study and getting no reply, Jiang Xiuying paused her lips and looked downstairs holding the rail. She saw from afar that Midori was still seated where she left her. " I wonder if she would be able to pass the test" Jiang Xiuying rested on the rail and cupped her chin using her left hand. It's time for her to choose her fifth personal maid. It was a tradition for the females of Lu Family to have a different personal maid every year. Her first maid was already happily married and had just given birth to a son. She made sure to give all of her previous personal maid a happy ending. She had immediately liked Midori as she saw her sharp eyes that reveled the kind of person she was. She preferred people that doesn't look innocent at first glance than those ones that look like they are scared of wind caressing their skin. Thinking about it reminded her of her fourth personal maid that looked innocent but due to her efficiency, Jiang Xiuying had
Sunlight rays peered into the room where a sleeping beauty lay. Jiang Xiuying stirred a bit and lazily opened her eyes. She looked around the room and rested her eyes on a young handsome man seated far away from her reading a magazine." You are awake?" Lu Beichen asked closing the magazine and walking towards her. Jiang Xiuying nodded and weakly stood up with her eyes half opened. " Wash up and come down for breakfast " He instructed and left the room." What was that? " Jiang Xiuying murmured looking at the closed door of her room. She shook her head and yawned loudly without closing her mouth. " Aish....how long was I asleep? I feel so light" She fell back on her bed and rolled to the other side of her bed reaching for her phone. She turned on the screen but found it powered off." Aish... " Jiang Xiuying sat up on her bed scratching her head. Another loud yawn escaped through her mouth. She stretched her arm up feeling sore all over her body. " A warm bath w
Hmm....." Zheng Tianyi nodded thoughtfully. " I already did a background check on her but found nothing wrong. By the way, do you believe in fate? " He asked Li Shang the same question Jiang Xiuying asked him when he inquired about the reason why he and Yuxuan looked alike." What's that coming from your mouth. Haven't you always believe in coincidence why are you suddenly talking about faith?"" Never mind..... What brings you here at this time of the day. Are you that less busy that you need Grandfather Li to set you up on another blind date?"Li Shang moved away from Zheng Tianyi. " You are giving me chills. I only came to check up on you. I heard you haven't been taking your meds even after Yucheng made another one for you at the research facility "" I'm okay. I don't need to take the drugs since they won't even work. I keep on dreaming even after taking the pills. "" What?" Li Shang asked sounding alarmed. Zheng Tianyi nodded his
" Alright...that's all for today. Ms Zhou, you should get some rest. We can schedule another day to record the song. It seems you haven't gotten yourself in the mood of the song. " Zhou Kexin heard as soon as she got out from the recording booth.Zhou Kexin forced a smile on her face " Okay. let's call it a day" She nodded at him and walked out of the recording room with her assistant trailing behind her." Sister Kexin. You sang pretty well today. Not bad" Her assistant said smiling brightly behind her.Zhou Kexin let out a little laugh " Alright Xiaoling. You don't have to make me feel better. I know I didn't perform well today" She said modestly. That was one of the attributes that made Xiaoling admire her boss." Sister Kexin, you are too modest" Xiaoling said as they walked out of Caomei Entertainment.* * * * " Mr. Li, President Zheng is not available. He is currently in a meeting " Liu Li said as Li Shang approached her office.
It was a Sunday and also the day of for the workers at the Zheng Tianyi's mansion.Zheng Tianyi and Yuxuan sat in the dining room enjoying dinner made by him. Zheng Tianyi noticed that Yuxuan didn't know how to use chopsticks so he began to feed him the pasta he made.While they were eating , the familiar melodious sound of his ringtone sounded interrupting the quiet time of the father and son duo.How shall we long for ♪Where we are going ♪No matter how frustrating it can be ♪♪You are my soulmate ♪" What is it?" Zheng Tianyi asked with irritation evident in his voice." Sir, the CEO of ZG group is here. He requests your presence."" Let him wait for a while" Zheng Tianyi replied and hung up. He couldn't help but wonder what his Uncle was doing at his place at such a late hour. Rather than hurrying up, he did everything at his own pace. He was sure his uncle won't mind staying outside for an hour.
The next day, Yutong was already in her blue tutu that matched with the colour of her eyes. Her long hair was tied into a bun leaving her straight bangs that covered her eyebrows.She swirled around in happiness and went to hug Lu Beichen." Do you like it? " Lu Beichen asked with a doting smile on his face." Like it! Like it !!" She exclaimed jumping around in excitement. Lu Beichen carried her up. " Let's go to your dance studio to see how you can perform " He said as he walked out of the room.When they got to the front of the room, Lu Beichen brought Yutong down and bent to her level. " Are you ready for my surprise? "" Sure. I can't wait." She replied nodding her head. Lu Beichen straightened himself and opened the door of the studio and entered with Yutong closing the door behind. The light of the studio was turned off causing Lu Beichen and Yutong to be unable to see anything." Uncle, why is the light turned off? Could this b
Jiang Xiuying noticed a car parked in from of the hospital with a number plate that had the blue logo of the Lu Family. She knew at once that the car was there to pick her up. She got into the car and it zoomed off.Jiang Xiuying looked at the familiar residence of the Lumber family. With a smile on her face, she entered the large house." Young Miss " All of the maids she passed by respectfully greeted her which she only returned with a slight nod.She walked into her room and closed the door with a loud bang. All of the Children and grandchildren of Chairman Lu had a room that belonged to each of them. Jiang Xiuying was very tired and feeling jet lagged. She hurriedly took off her clothes and took a quick bath. She didn't know what Chairman Lu needed her for and she must be quick since his flight was in an hour time. She already spent an hour on the road.Jiang Xiuying settled on a black gown that flowed freely from her waist to down to her ankle.
Jiang Xiuying pulled the car over as she got to the front of an Hospital. She removed the earphones from her ear and looked above her right shoulder." You...." Jiang Xiuying intently stared at him. " You are Chinese right?" She asked speaking Mandarin Chinese.Si Feng slowly nodded his head. He removed the baseball cap he was wearing and tightly held on to it.
