Chapter 37 - Digging Your Own Grave

Dai Yu arrived at the first floor. He ran to the lounge and searched for his boss.

After sweeping a glance over the area, he finally found a familiar figure. But as he looked at her back, he doubted it since his boss was a low-key casual wearer. He slowly walked towards the lady observing her carefully from head to toe from behind.

Yan Shu had her sunglasses on which covered almost half of her face. Unlike, every other day of Su Mo Jiaran, Yan Shu had styled the straight short hair with wavy ends. Thus, making her more unrecognizable from behind.

"Boss?" Feeling puzzled, Dai Yu slowly whispered from behind.

Yan Shu turned around and pushed her sunglass upto her nose bridge as she gazed at Dai Yu who called her from behind.

As soon as she turned around, Dai Yu went in a state of shock for a moment. He was certain that his boss was probably a teen girl the last time they met in the charity banquet. Nows,it's not even a month and she had already grown so much.

"How did you grew up so quickly, boss??? I remember you being so tiny and simple. But now??" He blinked his eyes constantly unable to believe.

"What? You don't want me to get older? Are you planning on taking over my company?" She squinted at him.

"Nonsense.. No...No...no..nononono. I dare not." He smiled wryly.

"Then what are you waiting here for? Take me to my office." She then ignored him and headed for the elevator followed by Morgan leaving Dai Yu behind.

"How can you act so bossy around other's company?" Morgan had been watching everything quitely that was happening all along. He was amazed how Yan Shu was able to get into her Su Mo Jiaran character so quickly so flawlessly. Moreover, this company belongs to Su Mo Jiaran, who had built it from scratch yet Yan Shu acted like she had been the boss all along. From the looks of it, Su Mo Jiaran seemed very low key and not as flashy as Yan Shu. Ultimately,he just wanted to warn her to not to cross the line to prevent getting caught. Although,they might not doubt her for now but if she changes Su Mo Jiaran completely, they will be suspicious of her sooner or later. Moreover,not everyone will believe her words like he and the others did.

"For now, it's mine. Besides,with you here I don't think I need to worry." Yan Shu had zero knowledge in business and finance matters.

The Ramford situation was different since she only had to give her money without having to handle the proceeding matters. She basically bought it in a whimp after knowing about the Banquet Hall's situation. With memories of her mother being attached to the hall, she just couldn't let it go ashtray. That time, she also happened to be learning interior designing for one of the roles she needed to play thus ending up designing a whole new Ramford. What she didn't expect was for it to become so successful. Maybe all thanks to Director Gao who was managing it.

But this time, it was different. The reason was her being so surprised knowing that Su Mo Jiaran was the owner of SJ Firm. She wondered how the kid was able to gain knowledge on finance and banking at this age. To think, it's not only miraculous but scary too. So when Morgan suggested to go along she didn't deny him cause he might be useful to her in matters including these.

Unbeknownst to her, she had actually started to admire Su Mo Jiaran and maybe even used to her new life forgetting that her body was still hung in between life and death.

"Here I was wondering what changed your mind for you to agree on meeting me so quickly. Otherwise, it was so difficult to even find you previously." Morgan shook his head and sighed.

When she suddenly disappeared from their group; they thought she might have gotten busier with her exams and studies but when she didn't return for a long time and even Dark Magus was unable to answer them they were shocked and angry that she didn't even bid them goodbye before leaving. Until one day, Ron saw her on a movie acting as a beggar. She was completely unrecognizable but thanks to Ron's extreme observation skills he was able to recognize her. Then they all tried to contact her, meet her but to no avail. Demi even tried to get in the company she was contracted with only to find out that she doesn't even come to the company. Slowly, they stopped trying to contact her instead supported her with all their might from behind the scenes. Yan Shu might be unaware of those things they'd done for her but they were still happy to see her grow so brightly. Morgan's heart ached remembering those times. If only they had the power they had now back then, they might've been able to help her but unfortunately every single one of them were just another bunch of teens who were living under their parent's support.

"I shouldn't have left you guys like that. I'm really sorry." After a long pause, Yan Shu said lowering her head to stare at her toes. She still didn't have the guts to face the mess she created back then leaving Morgan and others to deal with the mess she created. Even after all these years, she was still guilty of what she happened back then.

"It's really fine. It's been so many years. We have already forgotten most of it and we hope the same goes for you too. We should be the ones apologizing to you to not be able to stay beside you when you were going through your lowest points of life." He emphasized his every words hoping that it would help her let go of the past since they don't blame her for what happened back then.

Yan Shu didn't know what to say. She was grateful to get to know Morgan and the others that year. She knew how much they'd helped her in becoming who she was today,from behind the scenes. But that only made it worse as she felt more guilty leading to her not being able to face them which was the reason she had been ignoring them all these years. She knew how much they'd tried to contact her, find her but she didn't let any of it happen. 

'Ding'

The elevator opened.

"Let's go check out your so called office, milady." Morgan exclaimed trying to ease the situation. 

Yan Shu was pulled back to reality.

'But now, I can face them with my new identity. Al least, I won't feel much guilty as before and that's enough for me. Yes, I can be with them just like before.' She cheered up herself inwardly.

"Yeah, sure. Let me show you my power." She smirked at Morgan as she smiled before getting out and leading the way.

Behind her, Morgan smiled watching her back. He knew what she was thinking. Afterall, everyone in Magusloop knew how much prideful she was. Soon after,he followed along.

Morgan and Yan Shu were taking a tour of the CEO office when Dai Yu came. The look on his face was obvious that he was sick or something. His nose was as red as a strawberry carrying with a wiper in his hand. Yet he was sweating profusely which had wet his back.

"Boss, thank God you came back. Otherwise, I might've gone to the Su House to personally bring you out." He sobbed.

"Why?" Yan Shu stopped walking and glanced at Dai Yu with her lifted brows.

"Boss, did you forget that we own almost 20% shares of Zeng Groups. With Zeng Group collapsing we will suffer a great loss." Dai Yu reminded her.

Yan Shu felt like she had heard something wrong. She stared at Dai Yu's face for a long time until she was confirmed that he wasn't lying.

"Then, what should we do now?" Yan Shu asked Dai Yu in a serious manner.

Yan Shu thought she would just buy the stocks of Zeng in a cheaper price now that their stock plummeted and sell them at higher price later and earn more. Who knew that she'd dug her own grave. She scolded her brain for not giving her the full memories of Su Mo Jiaran.

"Boss, don't you think it should be me asking you that question?" Dai Yu rolled his eyes at her. He wondered if her memory is having a major setback since she was behaving strangely.

Yan Shu then looked at Morgan and mouthed, 'What should we do now?'

Morgan nodded and assured her that he will handle it.

"It's not that difficult. We just need to buy most of the stocks now so that we don't suffer any losses. If we can obtain most of the shares, we can acquire the Zeng group or sell the shares at a higher price later. The first thing we need to do now is checking whether we have enough funds to buy all the stocks." Morgan took a seat and explained them.

Both Yan Shu and Dai Yu stared at him.

"Boss, who should I listen to?" Dai Yu pointed at himself and glanced at Yan Shu.

"For now, do as he says." Yan Shu nodded. 

"So, how much do we have?" 

"The available fund now we have is 200 million yuan. We have used most of our funds on Lanting Group last week and the profits are due. The other funds are in fixed. Without any emergency within the company, we can't use it. You made the rule, remember?" Dai Yu explained.

"Will that do?" 

"Time to work, babe." Morgan winked at Yan Shu before taking over her computer.

Hearing Morgan, Dai Yu's eyes widened. He had never seen any man lingering around his boss. Firstly, she didn't like to socialize neither she likes going out. Hence, it was impossible for her to go out and know someone or have friends less having a male friend. Secondly, the Su brothers were so overprotective of her that it was also impossible for other men to chance upon her. Thirdly, Su Mo Jiaran didn't like having contacts with strangers especially random guys.

But now, he had seen them holding hands in the first floor and she had now given up her responsibility to him. And the most important point was that he called her babe and she didn't even retort. Dai Yu sharpened his gaze on the duo. He was certain that something was off between them. At last, he was finally about to make a conclusion as he thumped his palms on his thighs.

'He is our future Sir boss.' He happily concluded in mind.

Opposite him, the duo who were too immersed in their work had no idea that someone had misunderstood them!!
