Chapter 66 - Cannot Get Bullied In 'My Office'.
When Xie Ming pulled Liwei inside the house, she started looking, intently. Though she has some memories of it, but it's different from her memories. She frowned. Because Xie Ming hasn't visited this house after she left for abroad. And now it's different. It must be that Rouxi, who has changed everything. Though she doesn't have any attachment to it, however from her memories she can feel that Xie Ming must have missed this home when she was abroad. After all, it is where she grew up with her mother. This home contains her memories with her mother. And because she was in her body, she can feel that pain, that Xie Ming would have felt if she was here.
Liwei looked at Ming, who was busy looking around the house. He felt the pain in her eyes. He patted on her back to assure her. She turned towards him, her gaze met with his deep dark eyes. He smiled at her to give her assurance. She smiled back and calmed her emotions back to normal. Her expressions again became cool and non-interested.
Then she saw the trio, coming into the living room. She arrogantly smiled at them and flicked her hair at back. Then she pulled Liwei to sit on the couch. She was behaving like, she owns the house.
She sat on the couch, her legs crossed, one on other. Her aura has changed. She seems unapproachable.
Seeing her behavior, Xie Rong was getting impatient. He wanted to teach her a lesson. But cannot do that in front of Liwei, directly. Especially, when he was behaving oddly, well with her. He thought, that he was doing this because of his grandfather.
This Xie Ming must've, complained to his grandfather and he must've instructed him to behave like this. ' Yes. That's must be the reason'. Again, his imagination overpowered the reality. He doesn't want to believe that Liwei could like Xie Ming.
When Liwei and Ming sat on the couch, others also found their seats and sat on the couch opposite to them. On the middle, Ming and Liwei was sitting, adjacent to Liwei's side, Xinyi also settled on a couch. And opposite to Xinyi, Xie Rong And Rouxi was sitting. Xinyi was smiling because she was sitting adjacent to Liwei.
But then she looked at Ming next to him. Her eyes were filled with anger. She hated that girl. Today she did everything, facial, bleach everything just because she wants to look pretty in front of him. It was the first time, he was coming to her place. Her dress was also expensive. She had specially bought a dress, for this occasion. She was wearing a black colored dress, which enhancing her curves.
She thought she was looking beautiful in it. She had paired this dress with her expensive accessories. But Xie Ming was only wearing, a simple white lace dress and the accessories were also not that expensive, but only that red lipstick was enough to make any men crazy.
She gritted her teeth in anger. 'From when this girl became so pretty?'
...
Xie Rong looked at Xie Ming, who was ignoring them and was busy, playing with her nails. He thought that ' This bitch dared to ignore me?'
He looked at her and said in an accusing tone, " XIe Ming, what is this attitude, that you don't even greet your elders? Don't forget that I am your father and is this the way you treat your Father and Mother?" He wanted to show her as unfilial and ruly daughter in front of Liwei. So that he would find her disgusting and leave her as soon as possible.
Ming raised her head to look at him. Liwei also looked at him with cold eyes. he wanted to say something, but Ming squeezed his arm to calm down. He understood, that she wants to deal with it herself. He calmed himself, and the expression on his face was blank.
Before Xie Ming could say anything, Xie Xinyi joined his father in this play.
" Dad, don't say anything. Sister, have lived abroad for so long. And people in abroad are rather cold. So it's normal for sister, to behave like this. With time, she will get adjusted to our culture. And she had not met you for years, so she must be uncomfortable. " after completing her dialogues, she turned to Xie Ming.
" Sister, don't take the father's words to heart. He doesn't mean, what he said. He was just upset because after coming home for so long, you haven't greeted him. That's it. And I know it must be hard for you to accept me and Mother, but sister, Xinyi missed you. " She said with her eyes welled up with tears and smile on her face. This was really, a rare sight to watch.
he spoke with a smile on her face when she turned to Liwei to show her innocent smile. She was speaking like that they were close. And she is the one, who doesn't know her manners to greet her elders.
Ming scoffed at her words. 'unbelievable'. 'How can her acting was the same as Xiao Li.'
Seeing Ming's behavior, and Xinyi's pitiful and innocent face, Xie Rong became agitated. He cannot stand her rude behavior and moreover Liwei was not saying anything. He was confused, but then he thought that Liwei was generally a quiet person. He must be getting annoyed by her attitude. He thought his plan was working.
He shouted at Ming, " What kind of attitude is this? Your sister is taking your side and you're behaving like a brat. And I heard that you are maligning your sister's reputation in office. You said, she seduced your husband?"He shouted at her. He was so angry and seeing her not interested kind of attitude, he lost his calm.
Liwei was just watching the whole drama from the side. Because he knows that his baby will handle everything.
But his silence was meant to then as encouragement.
Xinyi interrupted her father, " Dad, don't say anything. Sister didn't do anything. It was my fault. I should have, kept my distance from Liwei. Sister must have misunderstood our relationship. Don't stretch this topic anymore."
She said all this, with her head down. Tears were flowing from her eyes, she was crying without making any noise. Anyone who will look at her will think that she is very pitiful to have such a vicious sister.
Xie Ming scoffed at her acting and raised her eyebrows in astonishment.
Then she looked at Xie Xinyi and said politely, " Little sister, what are you saying. Didn't I tell you that I don't believe all these rumors."
Then she turned to Xie Rong, " Dad, I don't know what you have heard, but I never accused Xinyi for seducing Liwei. These rumors were already circulating in office and when I heard it, I was equally angry."
Hearing the word ' Dad' from Ming's mouth, Xie Rong was shocked. After, her mother's death, she never called him dad. But today, she said this without any hesitation. He looked at her with surprise.
She paused and then continued,
" Because Liwei treats all of his employees equally and any rumors will harm his reputation. And moreover, it will harm Xinyi the most. Because seducing her' brother in law' is a very fatal rumor. That's why I even went to the office and cleared this rumor for her in front of everyone. I even asked them for their understanding and not to assume anything. Because it will hurt, Xinyi's reputation. As her elder sister, I cannot let her get bullied in 'My office'. "She said all this, without blinking an eye.
Hearing her words, Xie Rong was baffled. Because this is not what Xinyi has explained to him.
On the other hand, Xinyi's face was getting dark. She looked at Ming with surprised expression. 'How come she still acts like we're close.' She doesn't know what to do. Because she cannot refute, whatever she said, as Liwei was also there and she can't manipulate anything.
