Xiulan came home with a bitter mood and a furious expression. This was due to Hongqi sent her a message that she can eat first since he"ll be very late tonight.The opportunity to talk to him while she was still furious didn"t have a chance anymore. She prefers to argue with him while she"s mad and angry because there"s an incredible amount of courage whenever she"s in this type of mood.
She tiredly threw herself on the soft bed and closed her eyes to rest for a little while. She must get her wits and calm demeanor back before she comes out of the room and greet the people in the dining room.
The business summit Hongqi attended was successful. Since it was Han Pierre"s comeback, Hongqi"s company became busy in handling Pierre"s affairs and PR work. Because it was about Han Pierre, he was considered as Pierre"s "brother" so new businesses proposals had to include him.
He became so busy lately that the only time to relax was to have long s.e.xy times with the wifey. They really didn"t have the chance to talk about serious matter for the past days. It was always snu-snu time and cuddling that"s why there"s no hitch or any marital problems.
Xiulan was already in dreamland when her nap was interrupted by the sudden loud ringtone coming from her bag. It was her phone ringing continuously. She lazily grabbed her bag and rummage for her phone.
"Mom." Was displayed on the screen. She squinted her eyes while subconsciously question why her mother is calling her at this hour.
Since the capricious mother is calling her so late at night, it might be something serious. She had her phone on speaker mode and lazily put it beside her. "h.e.l.lo, dear mother. Why are you calling so late?"
"My lovely child, there"s an emergency in H city. The Lin family inn sent me an updated report that there"s a ridiculous amount of money missing from the past months. I want you to check it for me, please. Your sisters are currently out of the country and I can"t leave your father here all by himself. My oh so lovely daughter, help your mother please." That was the initial greeting her mother muttered.
"Ma, I already figured that out. Didn"t I sent you the investigation I have collected regarding this matter? I already found the culprit. Sent someone from the Lin family to work on this matter. It"s a serious case and I"m not even that close to the Lin family to even go there." Xiulan annoyingly rumbled while she lazily lay on the bed.
When she was busy destroying her enemies, she was also busy investigating the Lin family inn issue. Her cup was almost full yet she still has time to do stuff like this. She might get really sick soon. Lack of sleep because of s.e.x, work, hacking and family business. She"ll really die soon if she won"t rest.
Lin was her mother"s maiden family. They are very rich and business minded people, just like the Song, Xing and Han family, they are a family with ridiculous amount of money. But the only difference was that the Lin family are very quiet and they want to remain like this. They are very elite and mysterious that only few members are known in public. They also don"t like to put themselves in predicaments so they would rather call someone to work and finish the job.
They are not lazy, more on, they are very cautious and didn"t want to dirty their name. They would rather hire somebody else to clean after their problems.
"No one wanted to deal with this from the Lin family either. I just want you to go there and figure out how to naturally put that criminal behind bars without any explosive drama or attention." Her mother pleaded. "My brother, you uncle, is really stubborn. He said he won"t help on this since he"s not appointed in the Lin inn family business."
"I"m also busy, mom. I have a lot of enemies to destroy. My company is being attacked by rival companies. Aren"t you worried about me dealing with big companies? I"m also getting sick because of stress. Mom, please get someone else." Xiulan muttered like a child.
"Oh dear… come here and I"ll take care of you while you are sick. You have a great and powerful husband! Let him deal with your rivals." Her mother impatiently retorted but still kindly worried about her.
"Ahuh! You also have a great and powerful husband, he"s even an ex-general! Why not let him deal with the Lin family business issue too?! Isn"t it faster if he uses his military influence on this?" Xiulan quickly talked back. Her energy is coming back again because of this conversation with her mother.
"You little brat! Your father is very busy and I"m helping him in the Song family business right now. Also, you know that your father doesn"t have a great relations.h.i.+p with the Lin family, including him in this fiasco is not a great plan. I understand that your hand is full but you are my smartest child and you can handle this easily. Please help mommy? Hmm?" The capricious mother tried to appeal to her youngest daughter. She just knew that Xiulan can take care of this quickly like a simple math problem that"s why she wants to let Xiulan handle it.
Xiulan sighed contemptuously before answering her mother. "Alright, you win. But I cannot go there right away. I still need to finish the matters in my company. I will go there once I have free time."
H city is quite far from S city. That place has an abundant beautiful nature and a rising economy. The main town was known from preserving the remnants of the past. There are a lot of tourist coming to that place that cause its economy to rise so much. The Lin family inn built in there was already 150 years old and most tourists stays on their inn. That"s how immense the Lin family"s influence.
"Okay, okay! Deal! Thank you, my lovely daughter. Just tell me when so I can notify the people there to take care of you. Thank you again! Mwuah! Please come here so you won"t be sick." her mother happily rejoiced before ending the call.
Xiulan sighed heavily again and rolled her body on the bed to relieve her anxiousness. The days ahead would be very hectic and she"s not sure how to deal this. It"s so busy lately that having idle thoughts for a few minutes could cause anxiety. Her brain kept telling her to think about her problems instead of thinking about other unimportant things.
The Lin inn family issue is actually very complicated since the culprit was the 15 years head manager. She had been soliciting money out of the inn for 5 years now and the Lin family doesn"t know how to deal with this. That"s why they need an outsider to clean and fix their problem.
Next is her issue regarding the Mao couple and Gong Yuming. She can"t believe those two would team up just to destroy her. Mao Zhilan obviously plotted to use Gong Yuming since she was the darling of Xing Hongqi before getting married to her. She actually made a great choice for this cheap PR work. Bad publicity is still publicity.
Xiulan doesn"t know how to even react to this. For sure the media will ask for her opinion regarding this unscrupulous s...o...b..z material. She must have the public relations team come up with a good excuse since she really doesn"t know what to say. She was even afraid to go out for a while since the media might apprehend or corner her. She"s sure she might say not so nice things.
She can"t be immature and irrational this time. Her company"s reputation is at stake if she blurts something stupid against the Mao couple. She really doesn"t have anything to say about Gong Yuming anyway.
Because she was thinking too much and stressed out her brain, she fell asleep while facing the soft duvet. She slept soundly in a very awkward position.
