CHAPTER 32

“Even if it was my order, did I assign it to you?”Li Xiu shot back at the lady who had dared to answer.

“I am sorry, ma,” the lady quickly apologized, afraid to be the next victim of Li Xiu’s rage.

Unfortunately for all of them, they did not know that was not what Li Xiu had wanted. Although she was the one who gave the order after Li Xiu caught her and Duan Tian having sex and left.

She picked up her phone in anger and told her personal secretary to change the lock on the door and pack her things and throw them all out.

Her anger had made her act rashly without thinking about the consequences and behaved like she was the sole owner of the company and made her decision without consulting the first and foremost important person, her father.

She was having a fit now and needed to let her anger out. How was she going to find Li Jing now that her only was dashed to pieces?

At that moment she recalled something and her eyes once more darted across everyone present. After a minute and she did not find who she was looking for, she finally asked.

“Where is my personal assistant?”

Just then a young lady walked into the big open space and saw the gathering. Her brows creased as to what must have been happening to make everyone ignore their work like that.

As she got closer to the gathering, she heard her name being called in anger. Immediately she recognized the voice, she increased her pace and hurried to the front.

“Miss Li Xiu. Welcome ma’am.”

Li Xi eyed her from head to toe, her face completely ashen with anger. “And where have you been? Why are you just coming to work by this time, huh Hao Zhi Ruo?”

“I am sorry ma, I had to deliver a parcel to a client this morning as soon ad I got to work.”

Hearing her explanation, Li Xiu could not use that as an excuse any more. Her eyes remained unchanging as she stared daggers at the young lady.

She was itching on the inside to rain curses at them but she had to keep her cool. They were her father’s workers and not her personal maids.

Sigh!

“So you did not meet Li Jing?”

“No, Miss Li Xiu. I was not aware of her coming. But since she is not here, I am assuming she had left. Any problems? I hope they carried out your orders not to let her in her office anymore?”

Looking at her talk endlessly and ask so many questions, Li Xiu wished she could just choke and stop talking for a second.

“Oh they did very well at that. I never asked you to ask them to drive her away!” Li Xiu yelled, her last thread of patience, slowly slipping away.

“But, Ms Li, you said…”

“I know what I said. I did that out of anger, urghh! Must I do things myself?” Li Xiu lamented.

Ring! Ring!

At that moment, a phone began to ring and the ringtone interrupted her speech as her next words hung in her throat.

After some seconds, the phone continued to ring and she looked around.

“Who os the owner of that phone?” Li Xiu cast her gaze upon all of them, looking for the ingrate that decided to annoy her. “Wouldn’t someone put that thing off?”

“Umm Miss Li Xiu, that is your phone ringing,” her assistant pointed out to her.

“My phone?” Her brows creased as she touched her bag. All of a sudden her eyes out up as realization knocked into her. “Oh!”

Not saying another word, she opened her bag and brought out her a phone.

Yang Yanmei turned her head to the side to look at Hao Zhi Ruo. ‘I wonder how she copes with this lady as her personal assistant.’ Hao Zhi Ruo wondered, her palm still rubbed on her cheek subconsciously as the burning and stinging sensation could still be felt.

‘Mother? Why is she calling me now? She would have a fit if I tell her what I just heard.’ Li Xiu thought.

Answering the call, she spoke first, “Mother what is the… ”

Before she could speak further her mother interjected. “Li Xiu, you would not believe this. Guess what happened!” Her mother’s elevated voice filled her ears through the phone.

Her brows furrowed the more, further deepening the space in between them into a V line.

“What is it mother? I can’t guess,” she stated flatly.

The workers could not help but think she was rude. Generally dude to everyone and anyone. It was too bad she was the heiress to the company they worked for and their boss at that.

The only person Li Xiu wasn’t rude to was her father.

Even Duan Tian had his fair share from her sometimes, but unlike her mother, his was minimal as she needed him to achieve her plans.

As for her workers as well, the only reason no one dared go up against her was that she was the girlfriend of the heir to Duan Enterprise.

No one wanted to be a scapegoat, instead they bearer with her behavior.

It was at this point they could not help but compare her to Li Jing who was as peaceful as a sleeping cat.

“You can be a kill joy at times, Xiu.” Ding Jiaying who felt elated just now, calmed down at her daughter’s remark, her spirit dull from the extinguished flame she had prior to now.

“If you won’t say anything mother, I would just tell you what is making me in a bad mood right now, so you would understand why this daughter of yours isn’t in a guessing mood.”

“What happened at the company? Your father cannot return to meet things as a mess there…”

Ding Jiaying panicked upon hearing her daughter’s words and her worried self took over.

“Relax, nothing bad happened with the company.”

“Then why are you in a foul mood?” Ding Jiaying questioned her.

If it wasn’t the company or her fiance… Then who could make her daughter be like this first thing on a Monday morning? The answer pooped into her head and she asked again.

“Is it Li Jing?”
