Next morning Deming woke her up. And sharply at 10:00 they reached the airport.
Inside the car
"Meiying where did you find the investor ?"
Asked lijuan in a polite way.
Meiying pointed her finger to Deming and said
" our investor he is driving us home now."
"Boss, are you sure you want to invest on this person's project? She isn't very reliable person." Asked Lijuan in a concerned tone.
"Hey li lijuan how can you say that to my investor?" Meiying yelled at her sister.
But her sister didn't stop there...
" boss before you she had four investors. First it was my father for her ice cream business when she was only 15. Second it was my mother for her pet shop business at 17. Third and fourth was our Uncle and Aunt . I know for sure that after few weeks she will get bored and will look for another hobby. She is just too spoiled"
Meiying was taken back. She was not at all ready for this war. She thought lijuan would be quiet infront of her boss.
"Deming don't trust her. Besides, that was long time ago. I am a changed person now most likely to say I am an adult now.
And just in case if you are thinking of backing out then it would be such a shame if you go back on your words. I will never talk to you if you back out now. Plus I will return the every penny with interest. "
said Meiying with fake tears in her eyes
Deming pretended as if he was now reconsidering...he looked at li lijuan and then at Meiying
" Meiying I have decided to against my competent employee's suggestion . But you have to promise that you will give your 100% on your job"
" Don't worry about that sir . I have my hardworking friends with me. " replied Meiying while saluting him.
Li lijuan scoffed when she mentioned the twins. Meiying turned her head back to glare her sister and stuck out her tongue in annoyance. Well she was reciprocated back!
After dropping them he drove back to his office.
Inside the apartment
" how can drag our boss into your business? He doesn't have time for that. Do you have any idea how important figure he is to our entire country? The wang family is like the backbone of our country. Do you know that?"
" Why are you lecturing me now? You were the one who said that stutus shouldn't come in between the lovers. You hypocrite!"
" Meiying are you sure you want to go down that road? I see you are now capable of talking backing perfectly"
Meiying got little scared
" all I am saying is why can he not invest in my project? This time I am fully confident about my motive."
Just as Lijuan was about explain her a message chimed in. It was from Deming
" Lijuan let her off the hook this time. I don't want her to have a bad day. Thanks!"
Lijuan sighed inside
"Alright you win! "
Meiying didn't expect her sister to give in this soon...
" li lijuan you are the bestest sister ever. I will tell the twins to come over. Make yourself home and I want you to make a fancy proposal for us you know we have impress Deming."
" No No young lady! I will only teach you the basics to prepare it. Since it's your project , you will have to do the work . Don't try to push it upon me as usual"
Meiying knew whenever her sister called her young lady , it meant there is figuratively no room for negotiation.
" fine if you say. If you weren't my sister I won't have asked after all I prefer to do my own work" relpied Meiying arrogantly.
Li lijuan clicked her tongue in annoyance and strode inside her room.
The whole day the three fools wrecked their mind and finally came up with the report that li lijuan approved.
"Finally!" Said Liu Mei while stretching her arms.
" Who wants beer?" Asked Liu Jia while walking towards the refrigerator. The other three without any delay raised their hands.
They were having good time. They talked about all kinds of things. Meiying told them everything about the dinner while Lijuan complained how her team leader made her work. When Li Lijuan hang out with them she immediately blend in with them. Infront of them she can be herself.
" oh right! Aunty called me yesterday and adsked us to come home" suddenly Liu Mei said.
" what is her problem? Why can't she directly call me?" Complained Meiying
" yeah seriously." Liu jia agreed.
Wu hwei ru and wu ah kum were twins who married the best friends Li menyao and liu jianjun respectively .
" you guys cannot blame them. Both of them were inseparable since birth. And what's wrong if she called mei instead of you?The message was meant for the three of you . Now you guys know the message. End of discussion don't attack my mom and aunt like that."Lijuan defended her mother and her aunt.
" lijuan, you don't have to be such a busybody " said liu jia
" yeah right she is such a busybody . Can you imagine how did I survive all these years with her?" said Meiying
" alright alright I won't defend them. Happy?"
Lijuan didn't want to agrue with them.
" ok you are forgiven!" Said liu jia
" thank you so much princesses " li lijuan said sarcastically.
" juan, when will you get married to zhao zhichen?" Asked jia again
" I don't know guys"
"I thought you guys were fine. What happened?" Asked Meiying with utmost concern.
" he said he needed some space. Was I too clingy?" Asked lijuan
" what rubbesh!" Interrupted jia
" tell us everything " Meiying and mei said in sync.
" I don't know what he is thinking? He is always busy in his phone. Maybe he is cheating on me or maybe he is really busy. I don't know anymore. Let's drop this subject"
The superfluous trio couldn't help but worry about their sophisticated sister. Without Lijuan's notice the trio decided to investigate zhao zhichen tomorrow after meeting their investor.
