"Oh my darling. You are the real daughter of your mother" Mrs Liu praised Weiyoung as she took the wine gla.s.s from her hand and sat opposite her. "You need to do everything within your power to keep this baby. That includes, giving up drinking"
Mr Liu was pacing around the room. He looked at his daughter and Wife before shaking his head. He didn"t know how to feel about Weiyoung announcing to the whole world that she was pregnant. Weiyoung had told them before leaving, that she would do everything within her power to save their family. And they had to count on her. He was surprised when he received calls from some investors who had pulled out, that they were willing to give it a try with him again and also congratulated him. He realised it must have been Weiyoung"s doing. He was certain that after her announcement, people confirmed her relations.h.i.+p with the Mos. And didn"t want to let go of such connection. He heard his wife laugh again. He was no longer paying attention to them. He was only waiting for more calls to come in.
"Now, we need more connections to deal with that CEO Li" Mrs Liu said with an angry smile.
"You know it is impossible to touch him." Weiyoung reminded her. "No one would want to help us take CEO Li down. It"s like playing with fire. I"m more concerned about dealing with Sara" She said with an evil glint in her eyes.
"Why haven"t you done anything yet? She"s been living well after ruining our family" Mr Liu hissed.
Weiyoung eyed him as she muttered so even her mother wouldn"t hear her "How useless". Every other child depended on their parents but he was depending on her. " It"s not the right time yet." She answered. "I want to see how far she intends to go with CEO Li. I want her to know how it feels like to have something within your grasp and it suddenly slips away. And it wouldn"t be nice if we"re the only one who witnesses that. The whole world has to"
"What do you intend to do?" Mrs Liu asked excitedly.
Weiyoung smiled. "You don"t have to worry. It is going to be fun. I just have to patiently wait for the world to know her as CEO Li"s person. Then, I would crush the both of them together. And the netizens, the world would be by my side."
Mrs Liu clapped her hands twice before getting up. "We need to be prepared. In case he intends to strike back. We need backing. How about the Jins?" She asked hopefully.
"The Jins are very difficult to work with. They were the first to pull out from the investment." Mr Liu complained.
"I guess they are pus.h.i.+ng their son to Li Heya." Weiyoung smirked when she remembered that girl. "It might be difficult. But one way or the other, we are going to get their help. We still need a bigger fish... Let me say..." she pretended to think then, announced. "Like the Songs"
"The Songs?" Mr and Mrs Liu asked in surprise.
"Yes, especially now that their eldest daughter is around. Making her an ally automatically means. .h.i.tting the jackpot" Weiyoung said.
"The Songs are really tight. There is no way to get to them. I"m sure even the Li"s would find it difficult to connect with them. Talk less of us." Mr Liu was skeptical about the idea.
"There is always a way. She was well acquainted with the Mos. So I could always make use that as their future daughter in law."
"And if it doesn"t work?" Mrs Liu asked.
Weiyoung smiled. "Everyone... has a weakness or a dirty past. We are going to find it and make sure that family falls into our hands."
Muchen saw Sara got down from Song Changyu"s car. He had successfully tailed them there without being noticed. When he made sure she had gotten inside, he went his way home.
Sara slumped on the chair and recalled her conversation with Changyu.
She had denied knowing anyone who bore that name. And asked why Sara was asking her. Sara noticed her hands were tightly clenched on the steering wheel.
Sara just brushed it off with vague excuses. There was silence in the car as both were lost in their thought. "You don"t mind if I play a song right?" Changyu asked.
"Not at all" Sara answered before she hit the play b.u.t.ton. The song which played startled Sara. It was the same Cla.s.sical Music her father liked. She looked at Changyu who was focused on the road without saying anything. Her father and Changyu were both hiding the fact that they knew each other. Then something big must have happened. And now, she was fully willing to uncover it. She need to uncover everything about her Father"s past. About her mother"s also. About Changyu"s relation with all of them.
She looked at the card Changyu offered to her. "You can reach me anytime" She had said before running her eyes over the apartment and driving off.
She was sure going to use that card.
The next morning, she reluctantly got out of bed to have breakfast with the others.
Bilike and Joreen were both eager to hear how everything went last night. "Well, I b.u.mped into Mr Li there." She said.
Their eyes all shone. Jianjun"s especially, since he could vaguely guess what happened. She had gone there with another man and b.u.mped into Muchen. He didn"t want to ask further. He also stopped the others from asking when he saw Sara"s blush.
Sara stole a glance at her father who was focused om his food, before facing Joreen. "Guess who else I met there Jo?"
"Who, who?" She asked eagerly.
Sara paused a bit before saying. "Song Changyu"
Immediately the name came out, Jianjun"s spoon dropped on the table.
"He took the bait" Sara thought
