Xing Jiayi: "I didn't go there because I had to talk to a reasonable adult—not a child who still needs his father in everything he does."
Rong Bo breathed in before signalling for Ru Yuanzheng to take her home.
"You have to find out what is going on! It's high time you returned to the company, don't allow your son to ruin our father's hard work. The company might be in your name but don't forget I'm also one of the biggest shareholders and i won't sit back and watch everything go down the drain! Make a move immediately as we are running out of time already." Xing Jiayi said and stormed off.
Ru Yuanzheng smiled at Rong Bo who did the same before leaving.He picked up his phone and dialed his son's number."
Zhaolin?"
"Yes father?"
"What is going on? I didn't give you a chance to do this..."
"You don't have to be so worried, everything is under control here."
"Was Jingze there? He wouldn't miss this opportunity to taunt you."
"Yes and to be clear about it, I know who is behind it but he seems to like playing so I will return him the favor."
"You don't plan on using the same leaked idea, do you?"
"No way dad, everything is under control."
"Good, I need to call your mom and make sure she isn't worried sick about you."
"Bye."
"Yes son, bye." 'Now is the time for them to attack him' Rong Bo muttered to himself.

At the clothing brand...Shi Ya was busy checking out the uniforms of the staff of The Tourist Garden international Hotel. Everything was meant to be ready before the weekend and delivered soonest.
"Yaya, how are you child?" Recognizing the familiar voice Shi Ya turned around to see a woman dressed in a blue strip blazer and pant. A matching Chanel bag with High heeled shoes.
"Mother,"
"Yes, my dear," Xiao Ronghua answered, walking up to her daughter she hugged her and gave her a peck with her full lips of Red YSL lipstick forming a lip design on Shi Ya's cheek. She needed no one to tell her that as she frowned hard.
"You should have called before coming." The frown on her face deepening.
"Oh, now I must book an appointment with the CEO before coming?" she laughed awkwardly and gave her daughter a wink. Totally pleased with the title 'CEO' Shi Ya couldn't help but smile, she looked down on her hands as the smile widened. "
Mother, watch it or someone might misunderstand. Remember the company's not fully mine yet and I'm just occupying the sit till the time comes for me to take over."
"Doesn't belong to you but belongs to your husband... which is my Son-in-law." She breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the arm chair.
"Bear a son soon and whatever you point at will be yours with the flick of his fingers."
The smile on Shi Ya face froze, she walked up to the refrigerator in her office and brought out a bottle of red wine are turned to her mother and passed her a glass, "Let's relish our moment till then..."
"Sure ma'am...hahahahha, the title suits you best. Youngest ma'am of the Xing's household!"

In silence the car drove on a speed limit, the driver looked at the rear mirror and at his boss who used his hand to support his chin and his eyes tightly shut.
"Sir, are you ok?" he asked out of concern.He answered with a hum and opened his eyes to see the beautiful city, the sun was setting and everything looked beautiful.
The car stopped near the bus station and he happened to turn to his right hand side—there she was smiling and at the same time shaking her head at what he knew nothing about. He wondered if she was mentally stable, and what would have prompted such happy face. Yes it was her, that woman.
Those jet black pupils and crystal white eyes shone brightly... He wondered how long he stared at that person when the car started moving again at the same speed limit. Unconsciously his mouth twitched, if you didn't look closely you'd think he was smirking. At the same time the driver happened to take a peek and caught his boss smirking... no it wasn't a smirk but a beautiful smile which no one would believe came from him.
The day had gone darker by the time they arrived at the Xing's estate, with more than a hundred houses more like manors in the estate, you'd know it wasn't ordinary people who lived here. The car made a stop in front of the Xings residence and the bodyguards stood erect while one walked to the car and opened the door.
"Welcome young master." The guard greeted with his head still bowed.
"Welcome Young master." The other guards greeted.He nodded at them all before sauntering into his grandfather palace. The door opened as the Butler greeted with his other hand placed on the other.
"Welcome Young master, the president is waiting in his home office."
"Ok." The look on the Secretary face was enough to confirm his grandfather's anxiety. At the sound of the door, the old man turned to the door.
"Zhao..." He trailed off as words betrayed him.
"Grandfather," he crossed the table and made him sit. "you don't have to be so worried about it... everything is under control."
"How can you say so? Haven't you seen the headlines?"
"Grandpa...have you taken your medication?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. Grandpa Xing face turned from worry to anger. "What medication are you talking about? I'm not sick... I'm very strong, it's you all that assumed that I was sick and got that crazy man to give me those sick causing pills."
"Xing Zhao Hao..." He called his grandfather with his full name, trying to hold in his laughter. "I mean it when I say you need your medication," he tilted his head and the assistance rushed off to go get it.
"You won't force me to take those pills, right?" he smiled at his grandson. "I'm your grandfather... you are not planning on having my neck, are you?"
"Pfft" he finally let the laugh out.
"Your thinking is horrendous, old man. Everything is okay grandpa... Don't be persistent on knowing everything, I still care about your health...a lot!"
"Hmmph," grandpa Xing snorted. The assistance came in with a tray and passed it to Zhaolin.
"Go home now... it's getting late and the weather doesn't look so good."
"Take care of yourself."
