Chapter 16 - Then we have just a week ti to act
A woman clad in a strapless, tight red minidress was sitting in a car. She had a slender physique, sharp features, a slim waist, and fine curves. A dark lipstick colored her plump lips red. One could sll expensive perfu emanating from her that numb and intoxicated soone stepping in her vicinity.
The door of the car was left opened slightly as that lady impatiently waited for soone.
"Ms. Wang", a woman dressed in a black office suit said formally as she walked stiffly and hurriedly to her securing a tablet in her hands.
"What is it?", Wang Hualing asked curtly. She sounded bad-tempered.
The woman shuddered visibly. She was her manager, Xi lian. The news she was about to give to Wang Huailing was not a nice one. Xi lian was sure that Wang Hualing would get severely angry and in the given situation when there was no one around, Xi lian was the sure target for her to take out her frustration.
"It is-It is....", Xi lian stamred, unsure how to tell the news to her mistress.
"Just show already", Wang Huailing snapped at lian and snatched the tablet.
Her eyes widened once they landed on the photo. A woman in a red dress was kissing Li Luxian.
"What the f**k is this?", Wang Huailing shouted; furious, and threw away the tablet. It hit the floor and smashed into pieces. "H-How did it happen? When did it happen!?!?!?"
She was getting crazy with anger.
"Ms. W-Wang the scandal been out for two days n-now and I-I was..."
"Two days!", Wang Hualing scread, "And you are telling now? How dare you woman! Is this what I pay you for?"
Xi lian gulped as she selected her next words carefully.
"I have been trying to contact you desperately but you had been out of reach"
Wang Huaiing closed her eyes and leaned against the seat. She took deep breaths to control her anger and rubbed her temple.
"What did Li family say on this matter?", Wang Huailing asked in a cold tone.
This was the part where things were going to turn worse. Xi lian realized that today was the unluckiest day of her life. She wanted to cry.
"Ms. Wang M-Mr Li has annulled the engagent officially this morning"
Wang Hualing’s eyes opened.
"What did you say?"
"M-Mr Li said that the woman in the scandal was his true love and he intended to marry her"
Xi lian closed her eyes, waiting to hear an explosion or two from her mistress. But...
No noise ca.
Her mistress strangely maintained her silence after receiving that tragic news. Xi lian was surprised. She had expected her mistress to go into hysteria and possibly hit her after getting this news.
Her mistress loved Li Luxian dearly. Ever since she was young, she had dread of marrying him. She had worked so much to beco an ideal woman in his eyes. After years of struggle, her mistress was finally successful in making both families agree to an engagent.
But now this happened.
"He is lying", Wang Huailing said calmly with a confident smile.
"Y-Yes mistress?"
"That girl is not his love. I know Li Luxian and no one knows him better than . And I’ve never seen him with this girl before"
"Then that ans..."
"He is doing it to get rid of this engagent"
Xi lian thought what his mistress said was right. Li Luxian was known to hate won. He couldn’t tolerate their presence and Wang Huailing had been keeping an eye on him for a long ti. If he had any lover, she would have known.
"And what did elder Li Guang say on this matter?", Wang Huailing asked.
"He didn’t give any formal statent. Ms. Wang’s father had gone to him yesterday to discuss the matter. And elder Li Guang said that he would resolve this matter in a week ti"
"By resolving what did he an? Annulling the engagent with Wang family or getting rid of that girl in scandal?"
"That is not clear. Li Guang intentionally kept his words equivocal. However, he declared that he would take action, in favor of us or against us, in a week ti"
"Then we have just a week ti to act"
What hurt Wang Huailing the most was that the girl was kissing her Li Luxian. How dare she! He was hers! Countless tis, she had dread about kissing him, touching him to get a slight indication of affection. But she had never dared to approach him because of his bad temper when it ca to won. Li Luxian wouldn’t even let her hold hands with her.
And yet that woman dared to kiss her Li Luxian!
"Ms. Wang then what to do next?"
Wang Huailing smirked.
"You know what to do next"
Xi lian understood. They were to do the sa thing they were doing with past suitors of Mr. Li. They bribed them to back off and if they still didn’t back off, violence was used. They used their connections to harass the person until she gave up. And if she was still stubborn, they simply made the person disappear.
But now the threat seed severe.
"And this ti no need to bribe her first. Get her identity and I’ll deal with her personally"
"Yes, Ms. Wang. I’ll get the identity of that girl as soon as possible"
