"Welcome home Young Miss", Butler Ming greeted Chen Lihua on entering the house

"Thank you Butler Ming", Chen Lihua replied and took off her heels,

"Should I serve your dinner Miss", the old woman asked passing Chen Lihua a glass of water, Chen Lihua took a sip of the water then replied

"No I already had dinner, you should go to bed" Chen Lihua said and went upstairs to her room.

She took a shower and put on her nightdress, she fetched a glass of wine from her personal bar and sipped it while looking up at the night sky, it has been a daily routine of hers for the past three years.

"Mom, dad. How are you two", "I miss you both so much, you left me all alone and I feel so lonely. Do you miss me too", she asked looking at the bright stars in the sky.

In a huge Bungalow in the City Center

"You insolent child, why are you so stubborn. Is it so hard to convince a woman to marry you, the both of you are already engaged for goodness sake when are you going to get married to her" a middle aged woman yelled while shaking Mo Ting's arm.

"Mom, mom. Calm down", Mo Ting said smiling widely

"You brat you still have the nerve to be so happy. Till when will I wait to become the mother in law of CHEN LIHUA, do you know how much wealth that girl has and how much power she weilds, all my friends say that I am lucky to have my son engaged to her but not lucky enough to have him married to her"

"Is it so hard to convince her to marry you, once she does everything she has is going to be ours, yet you haven't been able to accomplish something so simple. Do you want us to remain like this forever", Mo Ting's mother Zhang Yimei kept on shouting while glaring at her son.

"Calm down Yimei", Mo Ting's father Mo Ziming said to his wife

"You better keep quiet, if you had been more responsible I wouldn't be needing my daughter in law's wealth to elevate my status, I don't want my son to be lazy and useless like you so keep your mouth shut", Zhang Yimei said to her husband and the middle aged man kept quiet.

"Just calm down mom, you want Chen Lihua's wealth right and you think that I should marry her and not Xie Yurin because of the money right", Mo Ting said to his mother and she nodded

"That Xie girl has nothing apart from her fame, we need money Ting", Zhang Yimei said to her son

"But what if I can get you Chen Lihua's wealth without marrying her can I marry Xie Yurin then", Mo Ting asked smiling excitedly to his mother

"How will you be able to get Chen Lihua's wealth without marrying her", Zhang Yimei asked

"I have already gotten it mom, your status has already been elevated so why don't you start preparing for Yurin and my wedding" Mo Ting said and his parents and younger sister shouted

"Whaaaat"

"You have gotten Chen Lihua's wealth, how when", his mother asked staring at him with opened mouth and wide eyes

"Don't worry about all that mom just start preparing for my wedding with Yurin", Mo Ting said and ran up the stairs to his room leaving his family in confusion.

"Baby" Mo Ting said excitedly immediately his call was picked up

"Yes love", Xie Yurin replied yawning, "I was already asleep, you should check the time difference before placing a call baby, its 3am over here",

"I am sorry babe, its just 10pm over here", Mo Ting apologized

"Why did you call me so late", Xie Yurin asked sitting up on the bed

"I have two news baby, a good one and a great one", "which one do you want to hear first", Mo Ting asked getting back to the point.

"The great one first", Xie Yurin replied

"The great news is that Chen Lihua signed the property papers, she signed the documents without reading them we were just scared for no reason. Now Paradise Entertainment and all its income along with Chen Mansion belongs to us. We have become wealthy baby", Mo Ting informed excitedly and Yurin jumped up from the bed her eyes completely sleep free.

"Are you kidding me Ting",

"No am not sweetheart so come back as soon as possible so we can finalize the plan", Mo Ting said laying on his bed .

"Oh my god baby, Finally after 8 years we have finally done what we wanted to do, I am coming back tomorrow I will finalise everything as soon as possible I can't wait", Xie Yurin said jumping excitedly.

"Me too baby, me too. I feel so ecstatic" Mo Ting said and they both laughed.

"Now what's the good news" Xie Yurin asked calming down from her excitement

"Well the good news sweetheart is that my mom has agreed to our wedding",

"What", "how did you convince her", Xie Yurin asked getting excited all over again.

"Well I told her that I didn't need to get married to Chen Lihua before we can have all her wealth and just like that she agreed to our marriage", Mo Ting said making Xie Yurin blush happily

"Everything is now falling into place baby, just wait we are going to live like a King and Queen from now, onwards" Xie Yurin said and they both laughed again they discussed the next stage of their plan before hanging up the call.

"Good morning President Chen",

"Morning Boss", Chen Lihua walked gracefully to her office while all her employees greeted her on the way.

"Good morning President Chen", Mian and Lifei greeted her while following her into her office, Chen Lihua nodded in reply to their greeting and sat on her chair

"Boss the girl band "CAMELLIA", has been invited to the international Music Festival in Europe this year" Mian informed excitedly

"Nice, that's a major feat, the IMF only choose Ten Bands from all over the world and being a participant is already a major achievement but it will be the a huge milestone if they can be among the top three" Chen Lihua said pleased.

She had high expectations of CAMELLIA it was the last band her mother created before her death

"Mian make all of the necessary arrangements for their comfort in Europe and I would like to have a talk with the band and their manager before they leave", Chen Lihua said

"Sure Boss, I will get right to it", Mian replied and left.

"Lifei have you handled everything regarding that land",

"Yes Boss, we can start the construction of the Theater", Lifei said and Chen Lihua nodded.

"Okay I will check the proposals while you call up the Construction agency. We should begin as soon as possible", "I want it to be launched on our anniversary in six months time", Chen Lihua said and Lifei nodded

"When is the meeting with Director Jiren",

"It at 2pm boss", Lifei replied

"Okay you may leave", Chen Lihua said and Lifei walked out. Chen Lihua was signing the documents later in the day when she received a knock on the door.

"Come in"

"Lihua here are the other proposals", Mo Ting said placing some documents in front of her

"Have you checked the signatures, are there any mistakes", Chen Lihua asked opening the documents in front of her

"No there are no mistakes", Mo Ting replied with a smile looking at her lecherously

"So beautiful", he thought but quickly averted his gaze

"Okay" Chen Lihua replied closing the documents

"I will check this later, I have a meeting with Director Jiren in a while", she said and placed the documents beside her.

"Fine. Yeah, Yurin is coming back today I will go pick her up at the airport so let's all meet at our favorite restaurant" Mo Ting said with a smile

"I have missed her, its been so long. I will see you guys tonight then" Chen Lihua replied with a smile

"Okay, take care then, see you tonight", Mo Ting said and looked at her with an indistinct evil smile before leaving her office.

Chen Lihua went for her meeting with director Jiren and came back a few hours later.

"Mian I will be leaving after my meeting with the CAMELLIA", she informed her secretary and entered the second conference room where the band was already waiting with their manager. It was 6pm by the time she was done with the meeting.
