Love Me Harder, Mr. Fu - Chapter 143

The company is again running around. The workload is tight and especially Shi Lian, Ruxi, and the design department are busy with the August collection.

Shi Lian had discussed topics with them this week and from yesterday they started working on them.

“Show me when it’s done” Shi Lian orders the staff of the design team. They nod and leave the meeting room in which they were having their meeting since the morning.

“The layout is good but can be better,” she tells Ruxi. “Maybe try to combine these two. See if they look good. ”

Ruxi nods, scrolling different layouts on her tablet. “I’ll notify you when it’s done.” With that, she leaves the meeting room closing the door from her behind.

“Xiaoxiao, keep the blueprint with you for now,” she hands the blueprint of her dresses to her.

“Yes, Miss Shi Lian,” she says and takes it from her hand. “Oh, and Mr. Ming is ready. He was asking for the date.”

“4th will be fine,” she says, tapping something in her laptop.

After their work is done, they too exit from the meeting room. Shi Lian will leave early since she promised Evelyn that she will go meet her every day until she is back to her normal self. It’s been almost a week and Evelyn’s mother is showing progress. The shocking part is Evelyn is now showing responsibility. She is now taking interest in Leng Company.

“Take care of the things in there and also there’s a pen drive inside the first drawer of my desk. Make sure to keep it to your self” Shi Lian orders her before leaving outside the company.

It’s only one hour gap. She used to leave at 7 and now she is leaving at 6. As she steps out of the glass door, she goes to her car as usual but stops when she hears someone’s muffled voice. Scrutinizing, she looks around to find where the voice is coming from. It shouldn’t bother her but it does so she walks to following the voice.

The voice gets clearer and she finds the voice familiar too. She has done the eavesdropping several times and every time she finds her uncle. Will this time be the same too?

Yes, it is. She stops and tries to hide to not get disclosed. She peeks from the pillar-like structure finding two men. She can see her uncle’s face slightly and the other’s man’s back. They are talking loud enough for her to hear and now that interests her.

“I’ll give you soon. Can you not come and poke every damn time!” her uncle snaps at the man, making an annoying face.

Shi Lian wonders just what he does? How every stranger comes to ask for money from him?

“You have been telling me this for the past two months. Give me or else… You know” the man in casual attire threatens her.

“Yes, I know. I know. I will give you soon. My hands are tight at the moment.”

“What a selfish hog can you be? How can a shareholder owning a fat amount of shares can be short of money?” the man scoffs. Well, he is true indeed. Shi Lian agrees with him internally.

Mo Zheng Yi ignores his comment and asks, “Did you find out what I told you last time?”

The man nods. “Pay the commission, get the information.” Shi Lian can imagine him sneering at her uncle. Mo Zheng Yi lets out a frustrating noise and takes out his checkbook from his jacket pocket. “Selfish bastard” he mutters.

“4, 000” the man points as Zheng Yo writes on his check. He does that and tearing the piece of the check he passed it to him.

“Now spill” he demands, growing impatient.

Shoving the check inside his pant pocket, he starts to say, “Name, Bojing. Age, 36. He lives alone here, his family is residing in Hainan. He was passing street after street snd he is homeless currently. What else?”

“I gave him money and he is homeless? What an Asshole!” Mo Zheng Yi growls but tries to keep his voice neutral because they are outside. “And how does he knows about the Mo family?”

Shi Lian is now fully attentive because of the mention of the Mo family. Wait, didn’t her uncle knew about the man? Why does he asking about his information?

The man speaks, “I haven’t gotten the full access yet. You said he worked with you so maybe he must have known it by now.”

“Why did I even paid you since you are this useless?” her uncle now barks at him, his eyebrows knit together.

“You asked me to get the information, I did.” The man glances at his watch and then turning his head to face Mo Zheng Yi, he tells, “Running outta time. Get me the money but this week or else I am going to reveal to your pretty niece that you were the one who kidnapped her” he sneers.

For a split second, Shi Lian finds it hard to believe and she thinks maybe she heard wrong but she knows she didn’t.

Her uncle did the kidnapping? He made those bastards touch her and also try to kill her?

“Shut up before someone hears you” her uncle grits his teeth, inching a step forward to him. “I’ll give you money by this week. Now get out of my face.”

Shi Lian panics and immediately leaves before they see her. She reaches for her car and opening the door, she hops inside. Her heart beating like crazy and her brain feels numb. She tells the driver to start the car quickly.

On her way, she cannot think straight. In her mind, the things she heard earlier are what wandering inside. Why did her uncle kidnap her? Why? She did have a suspicion of him but the thought soon leav2es from her mind. She knows her uncle doesn’t like her but she didn’t know he hated her this much that he will try to kill her.

She thought maybe he will be having some amount of empathy since they are blood-related but he proved that it didn’t mean at all.

Anger boils inside her and she had this very urge to go and confront him and ask him why he did that? But what’s the point of asking? She knows what his answer will be. ‘For the position of Chairman, I can go to any extent that’s what he will say.

She does not realize that she has already reach Evelyn’s house. When the driver said they have she then come to realize she has reached but she does not want to go in. She does not want to meet her when her own mood is worse. It will only worsen everything.

“Go back to the company” she commands the driver and the car takes a U-turn. She will tell Evelyn that she is busy with the company and couldn’t make it. Now, she needs to think of a plan to disclose her uncle’s dirty truth.
