Xinyi frowned seeing Xie Ming coming to their place when she kicked them out of her office when they went to meet her. How dare she come to their place after all that?
She gritted her teeth seeing Xie Ming's relaxed manner and the way she was casually enjoying her coffee and cake as if it is 'really' her house." Why are you here? Didn't you say that you don't want to have any relationship with us? Did you forget how you treated me and Mom when we went to meet you at the office? How dare you come here to see Dad?"
Xie Rong's complexion darkened seeing her attitude. Is she stupid or what? " XINYI... is this the way to talk to your elder sister? It's her house, she can come here anytime. Who are you to stop her from visiting us?"
" She is not my elder sister. We are of the same age, there is only a few months difference between us, that's it." Xinyi said while gritting her teeth. It's already embarrassing for her to have Xie Ming as her sister, yet he wants her to call that bi*ch elder sister?
If not for him getting married to Xie Ming's mother, they would have lived peacefully, as a family.
Xie Ming turned to Xinyi upon hearing her words and raised her brows in interest seeing Xinyi's feisty attitude. A smirk flashed on her lips upon hearing Xie Rong's words, he is truly a businessman.
" I am still saying that I have no relationship with you, nor your father." Xie Ming said her words slowly and nonchalantly which caused Xie Rong to look at her in shock.
" Then why are you here for? Hmm? Are you here to humiliate us?" Rouxi turned to Xie Ming in anger, this brat was getting out of hand. What she thinks she is? Just because she has Liwei by her side, does she think she can treat them however she wants?
Xie Ming placed the coffee mug on the table after taking the last sip of it and smoothened her dress as she uncrossed her legs. She looked at Rouxi who was looking at her with her 'signature' hostile gaze and then turned to Xie Rong who was confused upon hearing her words.
" Weren't you all calling me and bothering me to save your company? I thought about it and decided to give you all a chance to redeem your sins." she stares at Xie Rong nonchalantly after completing her words.
Xie Rong's mouth parted open in surprise upon hearing her words. Finally!! He knew it. Blood is thicker than water. Even though she hates him, she can't ignore the fact that he is her father.
A bright smile appeared on his face as he clasped his hands happily and looked at her excitedly, " You made the right decision. Xie Enterprises is the company founded by your mother after all, how can you let it go downhill just because of some misunderstanding?"
" Xie Ming, I am glad that even after getting married, you didn't forget your responsibilities as my daughter. Blood is thicker than water after all." He said while looking at her emotionally, she has grown well. She can now help him with his business, it's good that she got married early.
Xinyi and Rouxi glanced at each other before turning to Xie Rong who was acting as if he cares about Xie Ming. Deep down they both know that all he cares about the company and the investment from Jin Corporations.
Thicker blood, my a*s!! Rouxi shook her head upon seeing Xie Rong's drama and turned to Xie Ming, wondering if she was trying to help them or was planning something.
" Of course you should help us. It was your husband who is trying to ruin our business after all. Even if you don't care about us, it's a company founded by your mother. You should at least try to save the company for the sake of efforts she has put in the company." Rouxi said, acting like an elder while teaching a lesson.
Xie Ming's lips curled up in a smirk upon hearing her words. Well, of course, she has to save her mother's efforts.
She turned to Xie Rong and said with a tender smile on her face, " Of course I can't let my mother's efforts go in vain. That's why I came here with an offer which can be beneficial for you and me as well."
Xinyi who was listening to her words knitted her brows." Offer? What offer? Did you come here to help Dad or to make a deal?" She scoffed in annoyance. How can she think of making a deal when they're in this condition?
As the daughter of the Xie family, it's her responsibility to save the company. How can she be shameless enough to strike a deal with them?
Xie Rong pursed his lips and glared at Xinyi to keep her mouth shut. He was afraid that Xie Ming might get angry and will not do anything to save the company. He doesn't have time to be picky about things in this condition.
" Offer? What offer? I can agree to anything as long as you save the company." He said desperately, earning a glare from Xinyi and Rouxi both.
Xie Ming raised her brows in surprise seeing how desperately he was agreeing to her conditions without even listening to them. He doesn't have any choice anyway.
She leaned forward and clasped her hands together before saying, " I will save the company if you handover all the shares of Xinyi and Rouxi. If you do that, I will do everything I can do to save the company." she smiled after completing her words and leaned back on the couch comfortably.
".... ."
Xie Rong's expressions darkened hearing her words. He clasped his fist and glared at her in anger, she wants him to give him almost all the shares they have in return to save the company?
" XIE MING! Do you even know what you're saying? You want me to handover almost all of my shares in return for your help? Hah, seems like you don't have any intention of helping me and came here just to make fun of our condition." He scoffed bitterly.
She just wants to rub salt on their wound and nothing else.
" Xie Rong, now did you see the true colors of your daughter? I knew it. She is just a snake who can't even stay loyal to her parents. How can she do that to her family? I can't believe people treat her like an angel just because she changed her profession." Rouxi stood up from her seat and looked at Xie Rong who was sitting there in anger.
" Xie Ming, you just wait and see. I will show your dark side to the world. I will tell them how cruel and ruthless their pitiful Empress is." Rouxi said while mentioning the role she played in the movie which gained her quiet fame and sympathy despite being the role of a villainess.
Xinyi didn't say anything as Rouxi was doing all the work. She knew that Xie Rong would never agree to her request. How can he? After giving 3% shares to Xinyi on her birthday, Xie Rong is left only with 25% shares while Rouxi and Xinyi hold 15 and 13 percent of the shares respectively.
If both of their shares were given to Xie Ming, then she will be the biggest shareholder in the company, while Xie Rong will become the second one.
Xie Ming listened to Rouxi's words with interest and after she stopped to breathe, she finally spoke, " Ms. Xie, please take a break. It's not good for your health to speak non-stop, you will easily breathless, you know."
" You..." Rouxi gritted her teeth seeing her speaking cheekily.
Xie Ming returned her attention to Xie Rong again and said, " Didn't you say that the company was my mother's? She is the one who founded the company and it was my grandfather whose money was used to build this company."
" Those shares should have been mine but I wasn't even given a single share, don't you think it's unfair? If you have a little conscience, handover those shares to me. I will save the company and it will be a win-win situation for both." she shrugged her hands as if it's a very simple deal.
It is simple, at least for her.
Xie Rong gritted his teeth and tried to control his anger." Xie Ming, if you want, I can give you 5% shares in the company. But not the ones you want."
" Are you sure you won't regret it? Do you want to go bankrupt just to save shares for these two? They haven't done anything for the company anyway. Since Xinyi has joined the company, it is going downhill and hasn't gained anything."
"That's because Liwei keeps interfering with the business." Xie Rong snapped at her in anger.
" Do you think so?" Xie Ming glanced at Xinyi who glared at her with a frown.
