My Husband is the Emperor : I Woke Up With a Husband

In span of second shock came over Mrs. Xie and her anger disappeared, "What are you..."

Li Lian didn’t explain as doing so would only keep her mother anxious. "You three make a perfect picture together, you know and I am glad I am not part of it. I also wish grandmother won’t be a part of it. A liar, a deceiver, and a fool. Amazing! You know I have never seen a family so perfect than you three."

"You better keep your mouth shut! Whatever you say, mother is my mother and you have been driven out from our family. There is no place for you to be here-"

Li Lian clapped her hand once, enough to gather the attention of the two, "No that’s not how you speak to the CEO of this company, do you? I might not be your daughter anymore and you aren’t my parents for all I care, but I am this company’s head. It is also to my will whether or not to drive you out from this building. Ouyang," Li Lian called and the man who stood next to her like an impregnable wall took one step forward. "Please show Mrs. Xie the way out."

Ouyang knew the relationship shared between the mistress and her parents, therefore he asked, "Should I be gentle to her, mistress?"

"Gentle?" Li Lian looked over to her mother who was both angry but didn’t dare to speak out as she feared Li Lian would expose her cheating. While Li Lian planned to do it soon it’s not now as she only came to enjoy seeing her parents stressed by loosing everything they had. "I wonder if there is gentleness that you used when kicking me at the entrance?"

Mrs. Xie can handle the bubbling anger inside her, retorting with, "I don’t remember it every happen."

"Well you tend to forget things, mother," Li Lian called her again with her sweetest tone that only displeased the couple in distaste, "Ouyang, I trust you can help see my mother out and also refresh her memories while you are ushering her out."

Ouyang nodded and went toward the elder woman. When the bodyguard was standing beside Li Lian, Mrs. Xie didn’t noticed it but now she learn how tall the man was when he stood in front of her where she had to strain her neck to see the man’s wide and muscular shoulder. "D-Don’t come closer to me! No! Let me go! Let me go!"

Her screaming echoed all over the hallway. When the meeting room was closed again, Li Lian could still hear the faint cry of her mother then she looked at her father with a smile, "Don’t worry I won’t kick you out that way," she said to have Mr. Xie looked at her with a March warier eyes than before. "I have promised grandmother to give you one last chance. Take my advise well, father or you will regret it for not heeding to my instruction."

Mr. Xie scoffed, "Wait and see, I will make sure to retake my position that rightly belongs to me! This company is mine and once mother wake up-"

"She will bring back the company for you? Even grandmother doesn’t have any position or right to reclaim Xie Company. It is mine now. It will do you less stress and anger if you come to accept it now," Li Lian then brushed her gaze at Mr. Xie, the gaze turn fiercer that did an effect to daunt the man.

"Accept that I have been denied of my rights?" Mr. Xie scoffed, "If this is your way of revenge then you should have done something more terrible. I can assure you that soon that position will come back to the right hands of mine."

"Hardly. Surely you don’t think this is the end, right?" Li Lian quirked her smile. "You are wrong to think it’s your right to have this company just because you are grandmother’s son because I also have the rights. I had read your failed results of the projects that you created during the last five months. The sales had been doing very terribly and I had to commend how clever you are to make it seem as if our sales have no holes when it’s barley keeping a shape. But seeing the shortage we are seeing this month...I am not sure whether I can continue having you as Xie Company’s director. I would rather have someone who is competent."

Mr. Xie could see where this is going, "Don’t. You. Dare!"

"I think I told mother this earlier, father. Your words only fuel me to do it more. From now on you will be demoted as a sales management. How many ranks have you fell?" Li Lian questioned, facing her father’s glaring eyes, "Ah, seeing how you can only cause demerits from our company, I know you can’t count. Let me help...It’s seven rank! Now, father please try to work harder from below. If you can prove your abilities, slowly you can reach-"

"This is out of the question! You cannot demote me!" Mr. Xie spoke through his gritted teeth, "This position is mine and no one can take it away! I am your father, how can you do this?!" demanded the man.

"Funny, I recall you saying that I wasn’t your daughter," Li Lian deadpanned, no hint of pain, sadness were on her words but instead numbness. "Do you accept your demotion, father? If you accept this, I can also give you a way to salvage your broken family."

"Ha!" Mr. Xie deride, "Do you mean by letting you enter the family again? This family is perfect without you."

"If you say so," Li Lian shrugged her shoulders, looking at her nails which she hadn’t had the time to paint.

Mr. He couldn’t stand her behavior any longer. He stomped his feet to the door, "Enjoy your time in that position while you can and you will see how I will take it over!"

"Wait!" and Mr. He who had put one hand on the knob stopped as he heard Li Lian’s voice. A smirk crawl on his lips as he knew this time Li Lian would beg for his forgiveness and his threatens had work by instilling fear and anxiousness against her.

"Father," Li Lian started and she continue to tear down Mr. He’s guess by saying, "If you leave this room without accepting the demotion, there won’t be a second chance. I am not kind of patience kind of person."

"I will not take it!" Mr. He harrumphed, making the decision without a penny of his thought and if he had took a better hearing at Li Lian’s words, he would have regretted it.

"And one more!" Li Lian added when the man was going to leave.

"What?! Finally pleading for forgiveness? I will forgive you only if you-"

"Yes, yes, enough of that," Li Lian brushed it away as it held no importance for her. "I was only going to remind you to bring back the two car keys that you use and at once empty the house in Guanlu. Both of the cars and the house are from the company for the director but now that position is empty without you, bring the keys until next morning or people will come to your house and take it by force."

The anger on Mr. He finally reach the point where he couldn’t stand it any longer standing in the room with his nose flared, he slammed the door close.

Li Lian stared at the empty room, a smile that had been lurking begin to take place. "What a shame. Grandmother was being very kind to him by giving him a second chance yet he waste it." Now that Li Lian had taken over the company, her feet tapped on the ground as she wondered how to deliver the rest of her revenge in the most torturing way. She could kill them but then the fun would end too soon.

While having a quick revenge is satisfying, it was better to enjoy it slowly. Watching her family one by one noticing how they had lost everything and fall to the madness. When they realized it, the high ground they had been standing on had filled with water and waves would wash over them for good.

Li Lian looked at her phone. She has time and it was time for her to strengthen her company that was filled with holes due to her father. When she let the meeting room to implement all her projects, her head begin to wonder what Li Jun Wei was currently doing as he had told her how he was going to attend an engagement. She wondered what was it?

Far away, Li Jun Wei stood outside a house. Being a tall person, his head went over the door of the house which was small and dilapidated by age. He knocked on the door three times for a man to open the door. "What is it?!" asked the man with an annoyed voice.

"Mr. Chenguang?" Li Jun Wei asked.

"Yes that is me, what is it? Get going already! I am busy-" Li Jun Wei raised his leg. Before the man notice this action of him which he had done slow, his body was kicked away from the door, rolling his body away from the door, falling to scatter the tables behind him.

The man coughed in pain, curling his body as his back had hit the wrong place. "I agree. Let’s get going with this already, I am a very busy man."
