Love Me Harder, Mr. Fu - Chapter 132

Like any other day, Shi Lian is doing her work at her office when Fang Xiao comes, more like running as she is gasping for air.

“Miss! Miss Shi Lian!” Fang Xiao exclaims, her eyes widen, her voice urgent.

“I am here. You are loud for me to hear you” Shi Lian says sarcastically, looking at her.

“Miss Shi Lian come with me! There’s an emergency!”

“What emergency?” she asks, raising her right eyebrow. Fang Xiao has never been this panicked before nor has she seen her gasping for air.

“There’s…..at the reception hall….a man came and he has saying abrupt things. Mr. Mo Zheng Yi….is also… Come with me!” she says and goes to grab Shi Lian’s arm to take her to the spot as soon as she can.

Before Shi Lian asks anything, she is being dragged by Fang Xiao. “Easy Xiaoxiao” that’s all she says as Fang Xiao is literally running and making Shi Lian run with her too.

As they reach the down floor, Shi Lian can hear loud noises, male, and as if yelling. What is happening?

Shi Lian grows anticipated too as they walk to the reception hall. When she reaches the spot, people are already crowding the place. All the staff is watching intently. Shi Lian tries to look just who is yelling and then she finds her Uncle and an unfamiliar man, barking. She strides forward to get a more clear view. Her eyes widen just by watching them. Never had she ever encountered such a thing since the day she started working.

“What’s going on?” she asks one of the staff standing beside her. The woman is watching them as if she is watching a drama.

She tilts her to her right, finding Shi Lian. She immediately bows but Shi Lian tells her to cut to the chase. “Um… This man came out of nowhere and started yelling” she tells, not quite fully aware of the situation. “Then Mr. Mo came to stop him but he started yelling at him instead.”

Shi Lian still has no idea what the situation is. Why would this man— middle-aged, thin, and dressed poorly, will come and yell for no reason? He must have a reason or else he isn’t a mad man.

Shi Lian thinks to step in, ignoring her inner voice who is telling her not to drag herself between them. “Excuse me?” she calls, her voice loud, specifying to the man.

The man turns his deep and dead gaze to her. He stares at her as if he is observing something. Shi Lian feels uncomfortable with the way he is staring.

The man says nothing and the hall goes quiet. She then looks at her uncle who is also looking at her, his face etched in frustration.

Her uncle then looks at the man again and tells him to go away. “Go! There’s nothing for you!”

The man goes wild again. “Give me the advance! I am telling you! I have your secrets! I am telling you one last time!”

Shi Lian guesses that the man and her uncle have some connection. Advance? Money? Secrets? What secrets?

Her uncle glances at Shi Lian and tells the man, “I told you I don’t know you! Go away!”

The man will not move, not an inch. He lets out a barking sound and laughs evilly, “Lie all you want. When I spill your secrets, you will remember me then.”

Shi Lian is having a hard time processing what is going on. On the other hand, she wants to wait and watch just what is going between them, and on the other hand, she as a Chairman needs to look after her staff and get rid of the man.

“Please, whoever you are, you are creating a ruckus here. Leave before I call the securities” she says sternly to the man. Why didn’t anyone called the security to drag him away?

The man, his attention to Shi Lian now is again observing with his dead pitch-black eyes. “You want to know?” he asks.

Surprised, she points to her clearing whom he is referring to. “Me?”

The man nods. “Do you want to know secrets?”

“What secrets?”

The man glances at Mo Zheng Yi and with a smile he looks again at Shi Lian. “Something you want to know. Something you didn’t know, Mo Shi Lian.”

Shi Lian’s eyes go wide and for a second her breath hitches. How on earth did the man come to know her name? Maybe someone mentioned her?

“How do you know my name?” she asks, unaware of thousands of eyes on her.

The man smiles, his brown hair covering half of his eyes. “I know everything. Your name. Mo family, I know everything.”

Shi Lian’s eyebrows are knitted together. “How? Who are you?” she blurts. This man whom she has never seen knows everything about her. This creeps Shi Lian to the core.

Her uncle pops in between as if trying to stop the man to say further. “I have called the security. Leave!”

“I need the advance. You better send it to me” the man warns instead, giving him a hard stare.

If it isn’t in the middle of her company she would confront her uncle, demand what is going on, and who the man is because she knows her uncle knows.

The man gives her one last glance and turning on his shoes he leaves through the door.

“Everyone! Back to work!” she announces and all the staff starts clearing the space. Shi Lian’s eyes remain on her uncle because the questions that are bothering her lies with him. Her uncle, escaping her gaze, goes to his office as well.

Shi Lian does not know Fang Xiao’s presence and after when her Secretary gave her a little shake, she comes back to reality. “Miss Shi Lian, are you fine?” she asks, worried.

What is she supposed to tell? That she is creeping inside that the man knows everything about her? Shi Lian herself does not knows what to say even or what to think.

“I am fine. Let’s head to the office” she tells her and walks up to the elevator, and then to her office.

Reaching her office, she does doest want to go inside. She is itching to go and confront her uncle. She knows her uncle will not tell her anything but at least he will tell her something.

Deciding, at last, she goes back but Fang Xiao stops her and asks her, “Where are you going? You have a meeting in three minutes.”

“Cancel it or postpone it. I have another thing to take care of.”

Fang Xiao do doest argue and nods. She is only her secretary and she has the idea of what percent or how much you have the right to invade into their lives. Fang Xiao do is curious but she has not the courage to ask. It’s not that Shi Lian is intimidating, but why would Shi Lian, her boss, will tell her or report to her what important thing she has.

Sighing, Fang Xiao calls the authorities and tries postponing the meeting. It’s the first time Shi Lian has ever back out from a meeting so she hopes the authorities cut her some slacks. Although she is the head, the authorities do have the power.
