"If you dare to leave, you will receive news of the bankruptcy of the Xia Corporation tomorrow."
He stopped in front of Weiai; his threatening tone could crush one's heart.
Weiai's body froze and her heart sank. "What do you mean by this?"
"This means that if you choose to leave, I will make the Xia Corporation pay for it!"
He said calmly, the cruelness in his eyes making one go weak at the knees.
It was as if Weiai was thrown into an ice cell. She was disheartened from head to toes.
Shi Mei was not clear about what happened previously, but she could see that the young master was obviously angry and it had caused his wound to tear open again as there were specks of blood on the bandage. It was clear that it had something to do with Xia Weiai. In her heart, nothing mattered more than the young master.
As a result, Shi Mei was extremely disgusted by Weiai.
"You may not be aware of this, but you are not related by blood to your father, Xia Tianze."
At that moment, Shen Shaobai spoke the truth indifferently.
He thought that Weiai would be shocked, if not be in disbelief upon hearing that!
However, Weiai was calm. She was well aware of the fact by hearing his conversation with Ning Yuan. This was also why she decided to make her mind. She knew what he meant, he wanted to use the Xia Corporation as a bargaining chip and make her surrender to him!
As she thought about this, she heard him continue. "You are not the biological daughter of Xia Tianze, but he was the one that raised you up. If his company goes bankrupt because of you, his years of hard work will all go to waste…"
"Stop talking!"
Weiai bit her lips hard and stopped him coldly.
She did not have a mother since young, so her father was the only one that brought her up, taking on both the role of a mother and a father. Other than marrying Meng Xinlan, he had always doted on her. He probably wanted a second chance at love due to his loneliness and her growing up. However, her personal selfishness in sharing her father with someone else made her leave home.
However, she did not expect that they were not related by blood.
If this was true, how indebted would she be to her father? If her father went bankrupt because of her… She would not be able to bring herself to face her father again and she would never forgive herself!
"Shen Shaobai, I will stay, and I am willing to serve you! However, this cannot happen right now. If I keep staying out, my father would be worried. And also, education-wise, I would like to complete my university studies."
"What makes you think that you are in a position to bargain with me?"
Before Weiai could finish what she wanted to say, Shen Shaobai interrupted her coldly.
"I…"
As she lost her mother at a young age, Weiai had a stronger character than many girls of her age.
However, she was still a child.
At that moment, she felt extremely helpless, her eyes welled up in tears that threatened to fall down her face if she blinked her eyes. The man was eating away at her self-respect, bit by bit, until it disappeared!
However, it was clear that he was not willing to make a compromise and wanted to force her into a corner!
In the darkness, Shen Shaobai was like a king that wielded power over the life of the girl. He was merciless. "Xia Weiai, has no one ever taught you how to bow down to someone?"
Weiai was frozen on the spot and her nails sank into her flesh.
Finally, she slowly closed her eyes and spoke in a shaking voice, "Young Master Shen, I beg of you! I beg you to have some mercy and forgive me, it is all my fault…"
Initially, she thought that meeting him was a chance at redemption, yet the truth was that it was a ticket to hell!
For her father, for the Xia Corporation, she was willing to abandon her dignity and bow down to him.
However, even though he was able to control her physical being, he would not be able to do so for her heart. Deep inside her heart, she would never submit to him, never!
"Well, since you are willing to stay and have already admitted your mistakes, continue what I ordered you to do just now."
