1133 Words
Li Zucheng walked into a lavishly decorated courtyard , the courtyard was about two hundred meters wide, adorned with flowers ,it gave a kind of modern feel mixed with ancient Chinese culture
Li Zucheng took long strides , his gaze fixed on the lady who sat on a round table in the middle of the courtyard
"Grandmother"
Li Zucheng called out respectfully, his tune different from the cold tune he always spoke with
Xu Meiling didn't bother to give her eldest grandson a glance , she took a sip of her tea , her expression calm but only those who were close knew that the old lady was never a calm person
It was said that old madame Li was the calmest when she was angry - a trait which many had feared in her younger years
Li Zucheng didn't speak , his lips pressed in a straight line as he watched old madam Li sip her tea , ignoring his presence
"Sit"
Xu Meiling said as though only noticing Li Zucheng's presence. Her voice vital as though filled with youth ,if it hadn't been for Xu Meiling's head filled with white hair and the wrinkles on her face, one would easily mistake her as Li Zucheng's mother
Li Zucheng took a dit opposite old madam Li , for a while all the old lady did was ignore his presence
" You should know why I called you here " old madam Li said , her gaze fixed on Li Zucheng , her tune stern
Li Zucheng hummed, his eyes turning cold
ol madam Li frowned , her wrinkled face was visibly angry
" You are the heir to the Li fortune , Zucheng , how could you fool around outside" her words sharp
Old madam Li had been greated with a video the day before from an unknown number
The video had shown how her most valued heir had forcefully dragged a lady into a room and had his way with her
Though the lady had resisted, he had still forced her , not only that , the woman he had defiled had been a virgin!
Old madam Li could tell at a glance from the video that Li Zucheng had been drugged and set up but the deed of Li Zucheng forcefully having his way with the woman had been done
As heir to the Li household , it was an unforgivable deed that could strip Li Zucheng of his title as heir and possibly ruin the reputation of Li if it got out
Li Zucheng's gaze grew cold , the air surrounding him seemed to lower at an alarming rate - of course he was aware of the consequences...
Xu Meiling's gaze remained on Li Zucheng, a sigh escaped her lips
" make sure news of this doesn't get out " Old madam Li said , her tune stern
Lu Zucheng remained silent , Old madam Li knew that with Li Zucheng 's personality, he had probably dealt with the culprit and handled the follow ups
who the culprit was ?
Old madam Li didn't care , caring would only put her ageing heart in anger
There was no doubt that the culprit was one of her own ...
After all, the internal strife within the Li's household was more than the external
"The girl ..."
" she will be compensated" Li zucheng interrupted, his tune firm
" A compensation will not do " Old madam Li said ,a visible frown on her aged face
Li Zucheng raised a questioning brow at old madam Li
" You must marry her" old madam Li said , her tune commanding no disrespect
Li Zucheng pressed his lips in a straight line, his eyes cold
He understood what old madam Li was worried about
The best way to eradicate all possible mishaps from occuring was to marry the so called victim
He didn't speak, old madam Li raised the teacup to her lips , she knew Li Zucheng would listen to her, afterall, this matter could destroy the Li corporation beyond repair
considering the marriage, she didn't care , after all, such a marriage would only come to an end...

"Xubai" Lin Yao drawled out as she nestled into Tang Xubai's embrace , her tune soft and gentle
Tang Xubai stared at the woman in his hold with gentle eyes, though the years had gone by, Lin Yao's appearance was as magnificent as it had been years ago
Lin Yao got out of Tang Xubai's hold , her eyes seemed to glisten with tears
" you have to do something about Tang Mei " her voice low ,almost inaudible, containing a slight tremble
Tang Xubai felt his heart ache seeing such an expression on Lin Yao , he furrowed his brow, angry
Thinking about the grievance Cheng Lin went through because of Tang Mei , coupled with Lin Yao's pitiful expression, his blood boiled with anger
He had been welcomed home by the pitiful crying of Cheng Lin
upon closer inspection, he saw the bright red finger print s on Cheng Lin's face
As a father, his heartached for his daughter, upon finding out the culprit, his anger had only elevated
"she's becoming more unruly outside" Lin Yao said , bringing him out of his thoughts, she stared at him, her eyes filled with worry
" I don't even want to think about what will become of our Tang family if people find out she is our daughter" Lin Yao added as a sigh escaped her lips
Tang Xubai's frown deepend
" such an unfilal child doesn't deserve to be my daughter" his tune filled with disdain
" that brat needs to be thaught a lesson before she'll learn " he said, his tune stern
If Tang Mei could hit Cheng Lin and cause trouble, no one knows what she'll do in the future
the best way to solve a problem was to eradicate it from its roots
thinking of this ,Tang Xubai's gaze deepened
he would have to handle that unfilal daughter of his before she could cause anymore trouble
Lin Yao's lips curved into a slight smile
"Xubai , you can't be too harsh on her , she's still our daughter" Lin Yao said, nestling into Tang Xubai's hold oncemore
"you're too kind Yaoyao" Tang Xubai said, placing a kiss on Lin Yao's forehead
Lin Yao smiled in satisfaction
Tang Mei's words flashed in her head
it was only a matter of time before Tang Mei would learn her lesson
she would get rid of Tang Mei just as she got rid of Wen mingquin...
