" I'm sorry , Miss Xiao ." apologised her secretary Qiao Nan, as she bowed her head looking flustered and afraid " I tried to stop her but she just wouldn't listen to me "
" Its fine , leave her be " shaking her head Xiao Mei handed a pile of documents that she just signed to Qiao Nan " You can leave , as for her I will take care of it from here "
Qiao Nan looked a bit worried but as her secretary she couldn't overstep her boundaries thus , she nodded and left the room leaving the mother and daughter to stare at each other .
" For what reason, Did Mrs Luo took the great efforts to come over to my humble aboard ?" asked Xiao Mei as she looked at Mu Yurou , though this woman was in her fifties , wearing a green Cheongsam with white peonies she somehow managed to make herself pass as a thirty years old . No wonder , Luo Ting 's father couldn't keep his hand away from her .
" If I remember it correctly, I told you to stay away from me , did you forgot all about it , so soon ? That's quiet bad , isn't it ?" said Xiao Mei leaning back on her chair though she spoke out in a casual voice , her cool voice and the gaze she swept at Mu Yourou was like a queen . The atmosphere inside the room heightened and Mu Yourou 's breath hitched , she seemed to be having a hard time breathing .
When Tang Ning , called her to tell that Xiao Mei has taken over the post of the President of the TEE , Mu Yourou felt that the other was pulling her leg but to think she would really see Xiao Mei sitting on the chair of thr president .
" You - you became the President?" even though Mu Yourou could see it clearly with her eyes , she still didn't want to believe it. If Xiao Mei was the previous Xiao Mei, she would have naturally be really happy as Xiao Mei would have helped Luo Xinyi but the current Xiao Mei wasn't like that , forget about helping Luo Xinyi , she will be thankful if this wretched curse didn't snatch resources from her daughter!
Ever since Xiao Mei changed Luo Xinyi 's resources have reduced further and further , Mu Yourou tried to cajole Luo Xinyi to give up and come to the Luo industries under her father , at least with her husband there no one will bully her daughter but Luo Xinyi was stubborn as well ,she was jealous of Her elder sister , in her eyes whatever Xiao Mei could do she could do as well . Luo Xinyi wanted to prove that just like Xiao Mei she could rise on her feet but without Xiao Mei 's help how can Luo Xinyi rise ?
Mu Yourou might have pampered Luo Xinyi to the heavens but she was really clear of her daughter's capabilities, unlike Xiao Mei who was resilient and stubborn . Luo Xinyi was the darling princess , while Xiao Mei braved the storms and won scholarships after scholarships , Luo Xinyi had a silver spoon her mouth ..While Xiao Mei worked herself to bones training more than half of the TEE higher ups , all the while going on with her modelling career , Luo Xinyi was waiting for money with open hands.
Xiao Mei knew the ways of the world , she was used to hard work and was a person of extreme patience . Luo Xinyi was not .
" Yes I did " her gaze was so cold that Mu Yourou wanted to melt into the background all of a sudden , this - why was she scared of her own daughter?
"What are you upset ? " asked Xiao Mei with a soft chuckle as she leaned her chin on her crossed fingers
" what are you talking about ? How can I be upset at your success ?" said Mu Yourou as she tugged on her little clutch " I'm really happy for you , after all you are my daughter "
" really ? your clenched jaw depicts another story " said Xiao Mei " Why don't you sit down ? Take a seat lest you say I bullied you "
Mu Yourou who was suddenly asked to sit down was surprised but Xiao Mei didn't spoke anymore instead her gaze was completely relaxed as if she was watching an entertaining show.
" Seat down , Mrs Luo "
Mu Yourou sat down right in front of Xiao Mei who smiled and leaned forward placing her arms on the table and flicked her fingers tapping on the surface with her well manicured nails " say , why are you here ? From you persistence I don't see I can kick you kick you out. Let's discuss what you want if the proposal is within negotiations I will think about it "
This time Mu Yourou was really shocked , from the past few months she has been trying both hard and soft approach to get a proper resource for Luo Xinyi but Xiao Mei hasn't budged in the slightest , what's with the sudden change ?
" Don't look at me like that " said Xiao Mei with a calming smile " You and Xinyi are my family , I will certainly help you two if I can "
Mu Yourou who finally got a chance to help Luo Xinyi relaxed , turns out that Xiao Mei 's memories were returning and she was finally recalled how she treated them before losing her memories.
" that's right ! We all are one family , I knew Xiao Mei wouldn't let us down " said Mu Yourou tapping the back of her hand , Xiao Mei 's lips twitched but she kept a firm hold on her smile and managed to control the itch to clean her hand , just a bit more ..
A little longer and this woman will be in her palms .
" You are right ..mother " said Xiao Mei though she would have loved to drink burning fire instead of calling Mu Yourou mother , she still kept a tight grasp of her character " say what do you want ?"
" Xiao Mei , mother apologise this will be bit tough for you but your sister liked the position of brand ambassador of the 'Royal Princess ' and she would like to try "
Xiao Mei smiled slightly listening to Mu Yourou , no wonder The previous owner listened so much to her mother . The perfect tone , that hesitation - that careful flattery , with such a tone - how can Mu Yourou not control Xiao Mei in her hands .
But too bad , she was used to this tone so many times that if Xiao Mei listened it even in her sleep , she would smack the speaker right in their face and throw them out
" I get it , I will try to get it for her " conceded Xiao Mei and watched how Mu Yourou didn't stayed for a second longer and left . Once Mu Yourou left,Xiao Mei's smile vanished and her face morphed into a harsh glare .
" stupid woman " she sneered picking up her cell phone " I gave you a chance to get away but you didn't apperciated it , so you can't blame me for what's going to happen now "
