"Morning Miss Su" Su Lixue's secretary said as she got out of the private elevator. "Have every department submitted their reports" Su Lixue said as she walked towards her office.
"Yes It on your desk" her secretary said.
"get me a cup of coffee and inform the departmental heads that there will a meeting this evening to discuss Present and future projects" Su Lixue said.
"Yes mam I will send out the memorandum" her secretary replied.
"You do that in the meantime please postpone any meeting that was scheduled. I would like to go through the reports" Su Lixue said and walked into her office.
She had been out of town for a month now so there was a lot of piled up work she had to handle.
She had been going through the documents till a little after 12pm when the caption on an entertainment magazine caught her attention.
She had been so busy so she didn't bother going through the magazines on her desk. She was so familiar with Zhou Jianyu that even from a distance she could recognize him.
His picture had been what attracted her to the magazine, after all these years Zhou Jianyu was still her only obsession.
A zoomed in picture of Zhou Jianyu holding hands with Bai Zhenzhen while leaving a restaurant occupied the entire front cover of the magazine but it was the headline that left a sour taste in her mouth.
'B city's New golden Couple'
She hadn't been gone long but Bai Zhenzhen was already destroying all her hard work. Years of hard work gone down the drain all thanks to her.
Zhou Jianyu no longer looked at her the was he used to all because of her. Mrs Ouyang no longer answered her calls all thanks to Bai Zhenzhen.
She returned back to town two days ago and the next day she headed over to the Ouyang Family residence only to discover that she was no longer allowed access to the residence all because of Bai Zhenzhen. She had never been more embarrassed that she was as she was turned off at the gate. She had totally lost all the benefits she used to have.
She no longer had the respect and admiration of the various prestigious family. Bai Zhenzhen was really getting on her nerve. She had to get rid of Bai Zhenzhen before she ruined everything.
With that singular thought she stood and after cleaning her desk left for a gathering at a restaurant. Her mother and herself and a few of madams and daughters of other wealthy families had been invited to a lunch party at a restaurant.
Everyone had already placed their orders by the time she had arrived. Her cousin were already seated on a seat by her mother's left with a free seat at her right. After being led in by a waitress, She promptly apologize for her tardiness and took a seat on the empty seat next to her mother.
"Mrs Su you raised quite a daughter, you must be so proud of your daughter hard work taking over the company after your son's death" the host said smiling.
"it was no surprise at all our Lixue has always been Filial" Miss Su replied.
"no need to be so modest I think you raised a good daughter" the host said.
"It's a potty what happened five years ago. It was so out of character " a madam said snidely.
"Yes how could I forget" the host said. "it made quite the wave , it was a good thing that the Ouyang Family doesn't really take it to heart. If anything they are trying to keep it all in the wraps not with their new daughter-in-law and all" another madam said.
"Lixue and Young Master Ouyang really did look well together that everyone thought they were getting back together for sure this time but not anymore it seems. the old madam is quite fond of Bai Zhenzhen" the host said.
"Yes they are just yesterday I ran into Mrs Ouyang and Miss Bai shopping. I think marriage bells will be ringing soon. Old madam Ouyang already contacted a daiost master for a divination. The Ouyang family ancestry worship would be coming up soon I heard that Miss Bai would be present. I think the young master has finally found his match"the first madam said.
"I think everything should be left to fate. Lixue and Jianyu are just friends nothing more. Everyone should already be aware how close Jianyu's relationship with my late son was. Lixue and Jianyu basically grew up together, it's inevitable that after sometime everyone would think otherwise" Mrs Su replied .
"that's true, the su family has a lot of great talent. I hear that congratulations are in order Xiaoli just made partner of her law firm. My Youngest Son is just a few years older than Xiaoli. Why don't they meet up and see if they have a few things in common what do you think Mrs Su" the host said.
"I think it's wonderful idea. why don't they exchange numbers and we will see how thinks will go" Mrs Su said.
"alright" the host responded. After the numbers was exchanged they began to talk about the various arts and charities they sponsored. After some time the lunch came to an end and everyone returned back home. After the lunch party Su Lixue returned back to the company.
After the Department meeting Su Lixue headed back home. "Mother am home" she said as she changed her foot ware at the door.
"Young Miss, Madam asked that you come up to her rooms as soon as your back" A maid said taking hold of her coat and bag.
"Okay" Su Replied and began to walk up the stairs. She already knew why her mother is asking to see her personally, Bai Zhenzhen is once again the source of her pain.
"Hello Mother" she said walking into the room.
"Shut the door" a cold female voice ordered.
"What do you think you are doing" Mrs Su said angrily.
"Is there anything you can ever do right. Years of hard work and money all for nothing. How dare you embarrass me and infront of those brainless buffoons. You lose to an actress, I never should have let you handle anything" her mother said in anger.
"I am so sorry mother" She said in a low tone.
"Sorry dosen't cut it. You had better clean this mess up. Get rid of the interloper Lixue don't let me get involved. You had better handle this or I remove you totally from the equation. Don't forget Lixue your not the only young Miss in the Su family" her mother said.
"Yes mother" she replied.
"Get out" Mrs Su said picking up her book.
"Yes mother" Su Lixue said and walked out of the room. By the time she was done Bai Zhenzhen will wish that she was dead.
