Leon Hua couldn’t control his temper, of course I couldn’t let him go.
“Mr. Hua, you’re the big boss. It’s a shame for you to do the acquisition case yourself. I’d better take care of this.”
Leon squinted his eyes, saying cunningly, “Are you afraid that my tough measures will hurt your senior?”
“Facing you, he is just nobody, who can never be competed with you, and you don’t even bother to hurt him. To see if a man is strong, see his opponent. To see if a woman is well off, look at her hands.”
Leon got closer to me and suddenly lowered his head, blowing into my ear, full of lust, “Nice words. I like this kind of flattery. More often, please.”
I laughed, “They say that Fourth Brother is cold and rampant, but you actually like this kind of thing. Do you enjoy hearing my compliments?”
“It’s not a compliment and you’re telling the truth. Feng Shen and I are truly not on the same level.” Leon said.
I laughed lightly, “Of course, Fourth Brother is widely recognized as the number one dream lover of middle-aged women in Hai City. How can Feng be compared to you?”
“So, you, one of the middle-aged women, is also my fan? No, a lost woman.” Leon reached out hand to raise my chin.
“It seems that Fourth Brother is not good at guessing the ages. I’m only 24, far from middle age. And I’m afraid that by the time I’m in my middle age, my Fourth Brother will be an old man stumbling alone in the dusk.”
Leon squinted, “Why would I hobble alone? Not with you?”
“Wow, I’m so honored that Fourth Brother would be willing to go with me? Wasn’t it someone else?”
Leon’s hands suddenly wrapped around my waist and slid down to caress my hips and I quickly reached out to stop him, “Fourth brother, a gentleman uses his tongue, but not his hands. Please behave yourself.”
But he was doing more with his hands, “Have a good talk with Feng. And after that, don’t see him again. Don’t let him miss you.”
I was speechless. He was proud to be the strongest in the world, not putting Feng in his eyes, while being on guard everywhere, like I was a thief.
He was not like a boss, for he often got jealous. Human’s complexity was greatly showed on him.
…
The next day, after I finished some business in the office, I made an appointment with Feng at noon.
The internal telephone rang, and it was the assistant, saying that there was a gentleman surnamed Chen requesting a meeting, and then adding that his name was Mu Chen.
Mu came to the office? He usually met me out of the company, but today he was here, so what’s he doing here?
At this time my office door was pushed open and my assistant looked nervous, “Miss Yao, this gentleman is trying to barge in. I can’t stop him…”
I told the assistant that it was fine and mentioned her to go out and close the door.
Mu was still in black, wearing golden wire glasses today. He always seemed to wear the same.
However, there was something different today. I could feel his coldness and a hidden hostility.
He was usually a calm man who rarely changed emotionally, and he only had this hostility when he was particularly angry and excited.
The last time I saw him like this was when Ying Hua was about to fall in love with the little star Yu Yi.
I looked at him and told him to sit, “What brings you here?”
“Business.” Mu took a deep breath, and I could tell that he was trying to control his emotions.
“Go ahead.” I told him to start, and then I was thinking to myself-I don’t have any business dealings with him right now, so what’s the business?
“I’ve always thought that you have a bottom line of what you do, so I’ve always treated you as a friend. The society is complicated and the people are sinister, which I can understand. But I thought that you were an exception.” Mu looked at me coldly.
I mentioned him to continue, but I could feel he was accusing me. I didn’t know why. Was there something that I did wrong?
“I’m impressed by what you’ve done to Yan Chen.” He bit his lip, seeming to say something even worse, but he didn’t.
I nodded, “I know you’re a supporter of Yan and we have a rivalry on this matter. But this time, Yan approached me first, whose offer was fair, so I didn’t mean to bully him.”
“Yan came to you?” Mu looked at me coldly with anger in his eyes. He seemed to be really angry, but he was a very calm person and how could he be so?
“Yes. You can ask him if you don’t believe me. He even brought the contract to me. He was adamant that he wouldn’t sell, but I was a little surprised when he suddenly changed his mind. It was really his own choice.”
“You had his four-year-old daughter kidnapped and forced him to sell his shares in the company, so of course he would listen to you. Do you know that his daughter has autism and she was never very talkative, but now she won’t say any more. How can you treat a child like this for the sake of profit? You have a kid too, so how can you do this?”
Mu, who had always been calm, was very excited at this time. He flushed, but his eyes were getting colder and colder.
I was also stunned.
It turns out that why Yan suddenly found me and wanted to sell me his shares is because his daughter had been kidnapped? And that’s why he was desperate to sell his shares even without asking the price?
It reminds me that at that time he looked really nervous and depressed, and burned with anger and helplessness.
At last, he took a picture of the signing page of the contract in his mobile phone after we entered into it.
At that time, I just felt something queer in Yan’s behavior, but he told me nothing when I asked him. Now, it seems that he was informing the abductors that he had sold his shares so that they would release his daughter.
“She is just a little girl suffering from autism. You may ruin her life. You know it? Nala Yao, why you are so malevolent, by nature or because of following Leon? Stopping at nothing to get what you want?”
Mu slapped his hands on my desk, his eyes seeming to dart fire and engulf me.
“Not me …”
Before I finished speaking, Leon pushed the door and came in. He looked at me and then at Mu, “what are you doing in my company? Who allowed you to break in?”
Mu also looked at Leon, “what a great place your company is? Can’t I break in? If I want, I can trample over here at any time!”
To my surprise, Mu turns out to be like this when he flares up. I began to smell a rat now.
“How dare you? Mu, get out of here now, otherwise I will not be polite to you!” Leon and shouted at him, pointing to the door.
“Leon, there seems to be a misunderstanding in this matter …”
“What kind of misunderstanding? He broke into my company and yelled at you. Is this a misunderstanding?” Leon roared.
“Chen’s daughter was abducted, and the kidnappers threatened him to sell his shares to us, or they would harm his autistic daughter. This matter …”
Leon interrupted me and looked at Mu, “so you came to condemn us? Standing on the moral high ground, telling us what to do? You deserve it? For your own interests, you were even willing to push your lover down the cliff, and now you think you have the right to rebuke us?
His words chilled my blood. Was the abduction really committed by Leon?
