My Husband Is The Emperor: I Woke Up With A Husband - Volume 1 Chapter 411 392

The news spread high and low all over China. Xie Company was not as famous as Li Corporation much less their sub companies, however, with Xie Hue Lin’s name who was famous as the top second rookie of the year involved with the company, in a quick minutes the rumors about another candidate of the director appear, the news hit the first news searched by all people in China.

Everyone at first thought it was nothing of a big deal with Xie Hue Lin, the daughter of Xie Company to become the director. Although no tabloids spoke of it aloud, it was clear that Xie Hue Lin was riding her parent’s coattail. But the news escalated with another candidate appearing. All of them inquired the same question, wondering who could compete against the daughter of the company?

The spotlight which at first shower upon Xie Hue Lin was suddenly stolen by the news of the second candidate. More people were curious of who the second candidate more than Xie Hue Lin herself, destroying Xie couple’s plan with a smash.

Xie Hue Lin was not at her best mood. This morning she had seen the news about her everywhere and soaked herself happily with the envy and praises she gained from the news her parents posted, but now that her light was stolen, she couldn’t bear it and had to stop all her schedule, unable to focus as her anger was at the boiling point.

Ku Chenxiang, her manager on the other hand, was at the end of her rope. There were many important schedule and events they needed to attend, but Xie Hue Lin was no less than a child throwing tantrum. No matter what Ku Chenxiang do at the point would only increase Xie Hue Lin’s rage and direct her anger at her. With no other choice, Xie Hue Lin went back home, venting her anger by cursing the second candidate and the person who had written the news.

“I am the only daughter of Xie Family, who else could it be other than me to become the director?” Xie Hue Lin yelled inside her room. Was it her sister? asked Xie Hue Lin inside her mind in which she quickly denied to. No there was no way. Even if her grandmother insist on having Li Lian as the next director, it would never happen with how Li Lian’s image in the family had been ruined by her to ashes.

But the possibility of Li Lian being the second candidate was strong, after all the only sibling she had was Li Lian. Xie Hue Lin couldn’t hold it anymore, “If only she was dead!” That day, that night, one year ago, Li Lian should have settled on her death, but God knows how she was alive.

Since she learned Li Lian was alive, Xie Hue Lin tried to find way to discard Li Lian, but whatever she did nothing work the way she wanted. What she feared the most was the words Li Lian used to subtly threaten her. Could it be Li Lian have known the person who had crashed to her car was people sent by her?

Xie Hue Lin had learned since the first day of Li Lian’s arrival back to Xie Family about Li Lian’s past before arriving to China. Li Lian was raised by Yakuzas, and from what she heard she was quite doted on. Her parents dislike this fact about Li Lian, wanting to hide it out of shame, but at the same time feared that Li Lian’s character would be similar to that of a Yakuza, which was ruthless, evil, and cold blooded.

She managed to twist her parent’s dislike about Li Lian, but now she become scared that Li Lian used her Yakuza family’s help to her advantage as a revenge toward her. In midst of her thought the sound of a melody plays out which often came from a call of a phone. Xie Hue Lin glanced over her phone but the screen was black. She only realize that the sound didn’t come from her private phone but under her bed. The ringtone came from the phone which she stored inside a box she hid under her bed.

With a frown of annoyance and streak of fear, Xie Hue Lin heavily moved herself to take the phone, answering the call, when the voice she never wanted to hear spoke, “Hue Lin, I still don’t receive the money you promise this month. With how busy you are I know you might have forgotten about me, but you shouldn’t forget our deal. Or else you are ready for the consequence.”

The voice didn’t belong to the person who had once called her before, the person who had helped her to kill Li Lian, but the voice which belong to her father, the bastard whom Mrs. Xie cheated with.

As if her day couldn’t be anymore worse, this call from her father closed her day as the most unfortunate day in her life. “I have sent you what you needed early in the first day of this month. You should have accept it earlier!”

“That is less than enough. These days, I have been seeing you from TV. Everyday you look more and more like your mother and me,” the man replied which only make Xie Hue Lin’s face to twist and contour with more disgust. “Money is easy to get for you, am I wrong? Unlike me, who have to pay for my debt. But I wonder how your future would turn out of Mr. Xie realize you are not his daughter?”

“Enough of your talking, your debt is caused by your gambling habit! Just tell me how much do you need and don’t ever call me again!” Too disgusted to hear more of her father’s voice, Xie Hue Lin turned off the call, her thumb was between her upper and lower lips as she transferred more money to the man, in order to keep him quiet for good. But before she was able to tap the transfer button on her phone, the phone rang again.

Angrily, Xie Hue Lin immediately picked up the phone, raising her voice she yelled, “I get it already! The money will be transferred in a few minutes. Don’t call me again.”

However, what Xie Hue Lin didn’t know was the fact the call did not come from her father but the person she feared the most after Li Lian. The voice chuckled eerily, “Are you sure I don’t need to call you again?”
