A woman wearing a baggy white top tucked in a black pleated skirt and a pair of knee length to match appeared at Tianjing airport together with a little boy wearing the same colour of clothes.
The woman was slim and beautiful. Her facial features were chiseled and exquisite making it difficult to forget her face. With straight bangs, her long white hair cascaded down her waist.
The little boy had a blindfold on. His pointy little nose and cute little mouth made it very obvious that he was very handsome. His tiny little hands were fidgeting with the edges of his clothes.
Behind them were several men in suits. They were in charge of several pieces of luggage owned by the mother and son pair.
Jiang Xiuying lazily scanned around and rested her gaze on a lady holding a placard with " XIUYING" written on it. She turned to her son and noticed his hands were playing around with the edges of his clothes. The habit he does whenever he was nervous. She sighed and carried him.
" Sweetheart don't worry, mama is here" She whispered softly in his ear. The little boy nodded his head and held his mother's neck tightly as if saying he won't let go.
Jiang Xiuying approached the lady holding that was holding the placard with a little smile dancing on her lips.
" Welcome back home Miss" Shancai greeted returning the smile with a professional one. She was mesmerised by Xiuying's heavenly beauty. After staying in a daze for few seconds, her eyes rested on the little boy that was carried then back at Xiuying with a questionable gaze.
" This is...? "
Jiang Xiuying looked at her assistant for a while then back at her little son resting on her shoulder. Patting his head, she replied. " This is my son, Yuxuan " She briefly introduced and walked away from her assistant.
Shancai stood there like a statue trying to comprehend what she just heard from her boss. She never expected her boss who she had been working with for three years to be a mother.
Wait, the boy was wearing a blindfold, could he be blind
Shancai eyes widened at her thought. Although she didn't want to believe it, she had to because a mother won't hide her child unless something was wrong with the child. Looking at the proud back of Xiuying, she felt nothing but pity for her boss that she was just physically seeing for the first time.
" Aren't you coming?" Xiuying glanced at her manager that was still standing at the same spot she left her. Shancai quickly switched back to her professional mode hearing Xiuying's voice. She walked over and instructed the men in suit on what they supposed to do with the luggage.
" Please this way" Shancai led Xiuying towards a Porsche. Xiuying looked at the car and then turned to Shancai.
" Why haven't you installed the seat for my son?" She asked raising one of her eyebrows up. It wasn't visible since it was covered by her bangs.
Shancai was at loss for words. She just knew her boss had a son and there was no way for her to make it installed so fast.
Shancai opened her mouth to speak but was stopped by Xiuying who waved her hands slightly.
" Forget it " She opened the door of the cat with her free hand then gently lowered Yuxuan gently into the car and closed the door. She went to the other side of the car and entered through it.
Shancai slightly bit on her lower lip. She went over to close the car door then sat in the shotgun seat. "Let's go" She politely instructed the driver.
Xiuying pulled Yuxuan close to her. " Xuanxuan, should mummy remove your blindfold? We are already in the car." She asked in a sweet voice. Yuxuan played with the edges of his clothes for a while before he nodded his head. Xiuying patted his hair and slowly removed the blindfold that covered his eyes.
Shancai stylishly turned her head to the side. She wanted to have a clear look at the ' blind' son of her boss.
Yuxuan looked around the car and rested his gaze on mother who kissed his forehead and gave him a warm smile. Shancai felt like she just won lottery to see a very handsome boy. He looked to handsome for his age.
Yuxuan felt someone intently staring. He turned his face to her and glared at her. Shancai quickly withdrew her gaze in fear like she was caught doing something bad.
'Why did i even stop looking at him? Not like he would know since he won't be able to see me anyway. ' Shancai stylishly stared at him again and found him already looking at her. She smiled at him and waved.
" Hello"
Yuxuan reached for the sling bag that hung around his neck. He opened it and searched through some cards. Picking out the card he wanted, he showed it to her.
FACE YOUR FRONT!!!
Shancai read what was written on the card. It was written in English.
"Yuxuan doesn't like if a stranger stares at him" Xiuying informed nonchalantly while patting his shiny black hair. Shancai nodded slowly and faced her front just like Yuxuan wanted.
Something is not right. How did he know she was staring at him when he was blind. She knew the only way to satisfy her curiosity unless she asked him which she did.
" Um....excuse me. Can you see me?" She foolishly asked. Xiuying raised her head up hearing the question her assistant asked.
" Why won't he see you? Are you a ghost" She replied her question with another question strangely looking at her. Yuxuan shrugged his shoulders and sighed before stretching his neck to look outside the window.
" Caicai, what's my schedule for today?" Xiuying turned attention to her assistant.
Shancai felt happy that her boss was casually talking to her. It meant their relationship won't be very stiff. She cleared her throat and brought out an iPad.
" I cleared your schedule for today and shifted it to tomorrow. You have a meeting with Mr Fu at 10:00 am. Mr Chen for a lunch meeting. The rest of your day tomorrow is free"
" Alright. " Xiuying gave a light smile. At that moment, the car came to a stop.
Xiuying raised her head to look at the house she would be residing with her son.
" This is where we would be living. Do you like it" She asked Yuxuan who was staring at the house with interest. He nodded his head at her with a smile.
" Let's go" She ordered Shancai that was patiently standing beside her. The three of them walked into the spacious house. It consisted of a large living room, a kitchen, along with two bedrooms.
" Please let me know if there's anything you aren't okay with. I will change it immediately" Shancai politely offered.
" Never mind. We won't live here for long anyway. " Xiuying replied indifferently with an underlying meaning.
Although Shancai didn't understand what her boss meant, nonetheless, she nodded her head in understanding.
" What would you like to order?" Shancai asked. She already figured out that they would be hungry after the long flight. Xiuying told Shancai what she and her son wanted to have. Not long after, the delivery man arrived and they ate to their fill.
* * * *
The next day.
Xiuying sat in the car with her son alongside her assistant.
" I will leave you to take care of Yuxuan. Make sure you don't stare at him too much or else you would make him upset." Xiuying warned her assistant.
" Xuanxuan, make sure you don't cause trouble for aunty Shancai okay?" She told him in a soft voice and kissed his forehead. She got out of the car and entered a restaurant.
" Hello, I reserved a room here" Xiuying flipped her purple hair backwards as she stood in front of the receptionist.
With widened eyes, the receptionist looked at Xiuying. She felt mesmerised by her beauty. She looked like a K pop artist from a girls group with her dressing and long purple hair.
Xiuying smiled slightly seeing the receptionist in a daze. She gently waved her hand in front of the receptionist.
The receptionist broke out of her daze. "Give me a minute." She said and after a while, she was done.
" This way please...." She offered to lead the way. Xiuying nodded and followed her towards the private room she booked.
Xiuying checked her wristwatch and saw that the time read 9:47am. She decided to wait a little more before she ordered food so it won't get cold when Mr. Fu arrives.
She heard some noise coming from outside. When the door opened, a man of about seventy years of age entered the room.
" You must be Mr Fu right?" Xiuying stood up and stretched out her hands for a handshake. Mr Fu laughed showing the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
" Yes I am. You must be Ms. Xiuying then. " He returned her handshake and they sat down.
Xiuying pressed a button under the table and a waiter entered giving them a menu.
" Let's eat first then we talk about business later" She ordered for both of them and returned the menu to the waiter. Not long after, the table was filled with foods with their aroma wafting in the air.
* * * *
Shancai had been trying to get the attention of the cute little boy but he kept on ignoring her.
" Hey, are you playing with Rubik's cube?" Shancai asked an obvious question. Yuxuan glared at her and showed her a card.
DON'T TALK TO ME!!!
Shancai pursed her lips and faced her front. The little boy is cute but very cold. She had only seen him smile to his mother.
Yuxuan ignored her and concentrated with playing his Rubik's cube.
* * * *
" What do you mean by this?!" Mr Fu asked looking at the document on the table.
Xiuying smiled seeing the expression on his face. " Mr Fu, isn't it obvious that its the transfer of shares agreement?"
" Are you expecting me to transfer my shares to you? No way. Even if you give up your life, you can't force me to." Mr Fu stood up and walked away.
Xiuying scoffed. As she saw him approaching the door. She only uttered a name.
" Wang Xinyan "
Mr Fu stopped abruptly with his hand on the door shaking uncontrollable.
Xiuying didn't stop there but continued. " You are not worthy of my life. I wonder how Mrs Fu would feel when she finds out about your affair with your secretary." She clicked her tongue. " Tsk.....so pitiful"
" You can't just accuse people randomly just because you want something. I can sue you for what you just said right now" Mr Fu turned to her with his eyes blazing in fury.
" Oh? randomly accuse people? Oh right I understand. Mr Fu wants evidence. I can show you if that's what you want but i'm afraid you can't bear to watch it." She clicked on her phone and showed it to him. Not long after, lewd sounds echoed through their room from the video she played on her phone. She pursed the video.
" It's just a click away from being posted online. Also, don't you dare tell me it wasn't you because your face was very obvious in the video." In truth, she didn't watch the video at all but she trusted the source that sent the video to her. She couldn't waste her time watching two shameless adult making out.
" What do you want?!"
" Are you still asking? Come on, go ahead and sign it then your secret is safe with me " She pointed at the document lying on the table then proceeded to sit comfortably on the chair.
Mr Fu walked with heavy feet towards the table. He picked up the pen to sign but stopped halfway.
" Why should I trust that you would not send it to the media after i sign it?" He asked suspiciously. He couldn't afford his wife to find out about his infidelity. If she should divorce him, it would be over for him because it was all thanks to her that he was the director of the company he worked at.
" Whether you trust me or not is up to you" Xiuying replied briefly. A smile made way to her lips as Mr Fu finally signed the papers.
Xiuying retrieved the document from the table. " It was nice working with you. By the way, you can keep the pen. Thank you for your hard work" She smiled at him and elegantly walked out of the private room.
Who would have thought the meeting would go so smooth. Xiuying now owns 27% of shares in Zheng Cooperation without any sweat.
" I want to send a gift to Chu Linglong" Xiuying said while they were on their way back.
Chu Linglong was the wife of Fu Jing the director of Chu group.
" Okay. May I ask what the gift maybe?" Shancai asked with her eyes blinking in curiosity.
" Here. Have this delivered to the Fu's residence tonight" She passed a flash drive to her assistant sitting in the shotgun's seat.
Shancai gulped seeing the flash drive. She already knew what it contained. She didn't expect her boss to be so cruel to send the video to Mr Fu's wife.
It was none of her business anyway and serves him right for cheating on his wife.
Xiuying looked out of the window. By tomorrow, Mr Fu would surely regret his action. She shook her head in false pity for him and turned to Yuxuan. She noticed he was fast asleep.
* * * *
Caomei Entertainment, President's Office.
A tall skinny man suddenly barged into the office without bothering to wait for permission before entering.
Zheng Tianyi's eyebrows furrowed at the sudden intrusion. He was a person that values his privacy and all of his workers were well aware of that.
" What is it?" His cool voice sounded with an hint of irritation.
Han Sen took a step back for fear of his Boss temper. He crossed the line because of his anxiousness to deliver a news to his boss.
" I just got the news that Mr Fu from the Chu group and Mr. Chen are no longer shareholders in ZG Group. " Han Sen told his boss slightly quivering in fear.
Fortunately for him, Zheng Tianyi didn't react on hearing the news which calmed his palpitating heart.
Zheng Tianyi's long fingers curled into a fist. His thin lips turned downwards revealing his sour handsome face.
He had already set his mind on buying the shares of Fu Jing and Chen Yi. He didn't expect someone to beat him to it in the span of twenty four hours.
Taking a deep breath, he unclenched his fist and straightened himself. His russet eyes coldly stared at his assistant that was standing a bit faraway from him for fear of being hit.
Was he that scary? Maybe.
Zheng Tianyi could never understand the reason his assistant was always terrified of him. He massaged his temples.
" Did you find out who got the shares?" He was curious to know the person that got 30% shares of ZG Group in a day.
Han Sen nodded his head. " It was a female that got the shares. She blackmailed them just to get it. "
Zheng Tianyi was very surprised hearing what his assistant said. Although he still had a stoic face, the surprise in his eyes couldn't be mistaken.
" Make an arrangement with her. I don't care about whatever it takes, I want the shares to be in my name before the week runs out" Zheng Tianyi ordered. He didn't care about the amount she would request just to transfer the shares. He was not lacking money anyway.
Han Sen nodded his head and bowed before taking his leave. He had to prepare to meet the owner of the 30% shares.
* * * *
" Ms. Xiuying, I received a message from Caomei Entertainment hoping to create an appointment with us. They didn't state the reason so I didn't give them a reply. I suspect it has to do with the shares you just acquired. " Shancai informed her boss. They currently going through some documents at Xiuying's house when she received the e-mail.
" Hmmmm....I think so too. Reject the appointment. Let's see if they are really worthy of my time. If they are persistent enough, I might give them a chance and hear what they have to say" Xiuying said nonchalantly. She smiled thinking about how fast they managed to contact her in just two days that she acquired the shares.
Shancai was about to reply when she saw Yuxuan coming out of his room with a pout on his small face.
" Bang!!" The loud sound he made while closing the door alerted Xiuying who was engrossed in the paper works she was busy with. She patted her chest seeing it was her mischievous son that made the sound.
Yuxuan approached her and folded his tiny hands still pouting. Xiuying sighed. She understood he was upset because she told him it won't take long before she joins him in his bedroom. She had been swamped with work that she lost track of time making Yuxuan feel neglected.
Back in Seattle where they resided, he didn't bother about her because he is always out with his uncle visiting fun places. But now that it was just the both of them, it made him feel very bored.
Shancai had to control herself from pinching his adorable cheeks. He was cute even while pouting. Staring at him in admiration, she felt like she was looking at the smaller version of someone. Shaking her head at her absurd thought, she began to pack up.
Shancai had to work from Xiuying's home to relay all that had been going on at her company to her. Xiuying already told her she had no intentions of visiting the Company since they were already doing well without her.
Xiuying also couldn't help but pinch the cheek of her adorable son. Yuxuan relented and didn't bother to pout his tiny lips again.
Forget it, he was unable to be angry at his gorgeous mother. He smiled at her and pointed at his room.
Xiuying turned to Shancai and said, " I won't see you off today. Bye bye" She waved at her and followed her son into his room.
Shancai looked at the mother and son duo with a smile. It was such a pity that Yuxuan couldn't talk. She was sure the house would have being lively if he could.
