Liwei looked at Xinyi, who is pretending to be pitiful and a caring sister, who doesn't even consider Xie Ming as a sister. He didn't get the results of the investigation yet but he started to believe Xie Ming.
Xie Ming may look rude in the past but she was rather straightforward. She never pretends to be nice to people whom she doesn't like.
That's why compared to Xinyi, she looks like a bad person. And taking advantage of it, Xinyi acts as a nice, filial sister while Xie Ming looks like as a self centered, and rude. ƒ𝓇𝑒𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝑛o𝘷el - 🅽🅽novel
After a while, he said " She is fine. And about dinner, I'll ask her. Anything else?" he said without looking at her.
She pursed her lips aa was confused about his behavior. In the past, he never acted like this to her but now he doesn't even look at her.
'That bitch must have said something bad about me. Why didn't she died. Then Liwei could have been mine. '
She gritted her teeth in anger and controlling her emotions, she said, " N... Nothing. Then I'll take my leave".
She turned to leave but she was turning around to glance at him sometimes to see if he wanted to stop her or has any reaction about what she said about that bitch but, surprisingly he was so calm.
He didn't looked affected in any way. How can this be possible?
She reluctantly left the office and outside, everybody gathered around her to know CEO's mood.
She bit her lower lips and said, " I think he is stressed because my sister just woke up from the coma and he has to take care of her. It must be stressing for him to take care of her."
"But now since she has woken up, so I guess everything will get better. I just hope, that now she will start to understand Liwei and her responsibilities and doesn't acts recklessly."
Her words made her appear as a caring and considerate person who still wishes good for her sister.
Upon hearing her words, everyone in the office started to pity the CEO for having such an incompetent wife and she seems like a third wheel between Xinyi and Liwei.
Xinyi is not only beautiful but also good at her work. She is good at what she does.
Xinyi always pretended as she and Liwei was in a relationship before but Ming came in between them.
On the other hand, Liwei never cared about these petty rumors since he has a company to manage, because being on top position of the company, he was used to all these rumors.
But what he does not know that these rumors bothered Xie Ming the most.
First, Xinyi's mother seduced her father and ruined their happy family and now she was having ideas about her husband. Both mother and daughter are birds of a feather flock.
Xinyi always provoked Xie Ming in private and acted as if she and Liwei are in a relationship and was cheating on her.
While in front of Liwei, she becomes a caring sister who always wishes best for her sister.
This only increased the misunderstandings between her and Liwei. And whenevr she got a chance, she tries to ruin Xie Ming's reputation in the office. That way no one will able to expect her as a lady boss.
The plan went according to her. Hearing her words, everyone started bitching about Xie Ming and how incompetent she is, as a lady boss.
She doesn't deserve to be Mrs. Jin, instead, Xinyi should have been in that position. She looks better with the boss rather than that clown.
Xinyi thought to herself, " These idiots are so easy to fool, " she smirked and excused herself to go to her department.
In the office, Liwei called Gu Shao to ask if he found something.
Gu Shao stood in front of him and said, " Sir I checked the information about Madam and found out that she is really pitiful. Her father cheated on her mother, soon after their marriage. And after her death, he brought his mistress and Ms. Xinyi home."
"After he got remarried, his character changed from a caring father to a bastard. He started to curse Madam and sometimes also hit her. He cared for Ms. Xinyi and discarded Madam."
" That's why grandfather Li, took Madam with him and send her abroad to study. And when they find out that Madam is getting married to you, they tried to stop this marriage. But as it was the wish of the elders they could't do anything."
" Why they wanted to cancel marriage?" Liwei frowned and his expressions turned dark as he hears about Gu shao's words.
" Because they wanted, Ms. Xinyi to get married to you. I also found out that she has a crush on you" Gu Shao replied with hesitation.
Liwei narrowed his eyes and his expressions turned gloomy. Xie Ming so called family is so good at acting that he never find out their intentions or he never tried to know.
" Okay. Do you get anything regarding Xie Ming's suicide incident?" Liwei asked as he looked at Gu Shao.
" Not yet sir. It's taking time to find details regarding that incident." Gu shao replied.
"Okay. You can go now."
Gu Shao bowed slightly and left the office, closing the door behind.
' I was such a d*ck before. How can I not see her difficulties before. I always blamed her for being rude and dandy towards her sister and family. But he never bothered to find out why she was acting that way. All along he was being played by others. ' he rubbed his temples and sighed.
