Chapter 254 - Bastard Son Of Alex Chung

"Don't worry Sir, I'll not let anyone breathe a word about this matter.. Also, the man who was supposed to click pictures of that girl is disposable. He will not be a threat.."

Mr Bai schooled his expression before his reassuring words entered the fuming Liu Chenmin's ears. He tried to ease the old man's worries as much as possible.

"Fine, I'll let you handle this.. Don't disappoint me this time!"

Raising his gaze from the broken shards on the floor Liu Chenmin's narrowed eyes landed on the apathetic front of Mr Bai.

The inexpressive man nodded his head mechanically, bowing his head and left Liu Chenmin alone. The soft click of door closing was heard in the quiet room.

"Heh! Once I obtain the control over the underworld I'll ruthlessly kick you to the curb, Lucifer! Then I'll see what you'll do.. You're nothing but a bastard son of Alex Chung!"

Along with his disparaging words, Liu Chenmin scoffed.

Clenching his fists tightly with a fierce blood thirst in his eyes, the old man gritted his words through his teeth. The ugly scowl on his face deepened with each word.

Suddenly the door was pushed open, a figure entered startling Liu Chenmin. His face deathly pale as he stared with his wide, bloodshot eyes.

"Dad! Was that Mr Bai? What was he doing here.."

Sounding a little displeased, Liu Li barged inside as she barraged him with her questions. She disregarded the change on his face and frowned, pouting mildly.

She looked quite beautiful, her attire was a bright, vibrant red short body hugging dress with sequins. It enhanced her curves, her slender legs and fair, exposed shoulders.

Her make up wasn't minimal, rather it was heavy with a dark red painted lips and nails. Her eyes were kohl rimmed, her cheeks had a fair amount of blush on and highlighter. Thin, ten inches of heels on her feet were shiny.

Over all Liu Li's whole look was over the top, it was screaming money from every angle.

"Uh? That.. I had some business with him. Why are you here?"

At a loss, Liu Chenmin tried his best to remain calm and forced a smile. His voice sounding strained with a hint of fear.

He was afraid that Liu Li might've heard about Lucifer's involvement with a girl aside from her, she'd be devastated.

Liu Li was already having extreme anger issues, especially after finding out Zhang Lili's identity as his biological daughter. That was a heavy blow to her psychological self.

"I wanted to inform you that I'm going out with my friends.. Don't tell Zhang Lili about it, I don't want her to tag along every time. It's frustrating!"

Smiling like a flower, Liu Li informed Liu Chenmin about her plans for the night. She then stomped her feet in irritation recalling Zhang Lili, her face turned red with anger.

Liu Li would make a face every time Zhang Lili's name was mentioned albeit acting like a true sister in front of her. She was utterly disgusted by her existence and would openly display it in front of Liu Chenmin.

"Yes, yes.. You can go have fun! I'll take care of everything here"

Nodding his head helplessly, Liu Chenmin managed a small smile that reflected his affliction but Liu Li was too ignorant to notice anything amiss.

She smiled brightly, happily pecking his cheek before scurrying out of the room, humming a joyful tune.

Lee Holdings Office

It was a very pleasant kind of atmosphere in the waiting room outside Ethan Lee's office. It was half past one in afternoon and a crowd was gathered with smiles on their faces.

"Hi, this is my bestfriend Su Yin.. And this is Xia Ruo Lan.. She's the interior decorator of my art gallery"

Standing across Xia Ruo Lan, who was dressed in a vibrant azure blue powersuit looking prim and proper, Sera introduced Su Yin who was standing beside her.

A soft, symphonic tone travelled into everyone's ears. Mild, friendly smile on Sera's glowing face.

Su Yin was in her usual white and black office outfit, a sheer white blouse with black pencil skirt and heels. She smiled subtly at Xia Ruo Lan's cordial front, it was neither hostile nor chummy.

Since Sera was here for a monthly meeting with Ethan and Xia Ruo Lan she was dressed professionally.

A beige jumpsuit paired with an elegant white blazer, looking everything like a powerful and smart businesswoman. She looked pretty attractive with a sweet smile resting on her pink lips.

"I know Miss Su, we have worked together once before.. It's a pleasure to see you again!"

Returning a smile Xia Ruo Lan replied, she then extended her hand to Su Yin.

"Likewise, thank you for your time.. It's really great that you agreed to renovate Sera's art gallery"

Shaking hands with Xia Ruo Lan, Su Yin expressed her gratitude. She looked fresh and youthful.

"No problem.. In fact I'm really fortunate to have met Sera, she's a gem of a person"

Laughing off, Xia Ruo Lan generously complimented Sera. Her black eyes honest, twinkling with light as she spoke sincerely.

The pair had grown to become good friends after just a month of working together.

"Oh, shut up! I know how dumb she is.."

Denying Xia Ruo Lan's words of appreciation, Su Yin chuckled humorously. She shot a naughty look at the frowning Sera.

"Yinyin, I'm better than you, at I'm not childish!"

Sera who was feeling quite bad about her bestfriends comments retorted, even sticking out her tongue to tease her. Su Yin snorted while Xia Ruo Lan broke into a fit of giggles.

The girls were truly having a great time after only a mere few minutes of meeting each other.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

Assistant Chen emerged from behind them with a couple of awkward coughs.

The poor man was put in a spot among all the women in the room, he was internally sweating buckets.

"Oh! Assistant Chen, Is Ethan ready for us?"

Turning around Sera exclaimed, she then darted a look at the closed door before asking. She raised her brow with a faint smile.

"CEO is having an emergency meeting right now, he wants you to leave without him. He said that he'll join after the meeting.."

Shaking his head slightly, he cleared his throat before speaking. His voice sounded apologetic.

"Uh? Okay.."

Lightly disappointed, Sera nodded her head in understanding. She was feeling dismayed for wasting Su Yin's time whom she had brought along with her to show around White Meadow.

While everyone were focused on the apologetic Assistant Chen, a sweet sounding voice resounded breaking the tense atmosphere. They turned around subconsciously to look at the intruder.

"Miss Xia, I have brought all the files you asked me to get"

A short, chubby short-haired bespectacled woman dressed in a black jacket suit appeared, she had fair skin, plump cheeks and kissable lips. She was holding a bunch of files while staggering forward.

"Wang Fang!"

Xia Ruo Lan cried out loud when the girl was about to slip, fortunately she balanced herself avoiding a mishap.

Everyone except Assistant Chen heaved a sigh in relief before studying her appearance.

"Sorry.. Everyone this is my Assistant Wang Fang!"

Sweeping a glance at the surprised faces of all the people in the spacious waiting room Xia Ruo Lan apologized before introducing her.

Meanwhile a dumbstruck Assistant Chen was having a tough time. His heart went doki-doki the moment Wang Fang entered the scene.

The tall, lanky bespectacled man was gulping heavily looking at the woman who was more than a head shorter than him. While his heart was pacing, his palms clammy with sweat trickling down his spine. She was cute.

"Xiao Fang! Get the car ready, we are leaving now.."

Looking at the time Xia Ruo Lan ordered with a firm tone, it shocked almost everyone present in the room.

She wasn't someone authoritative and always interacted sweetly unlike now.

Wang Fang jumped at her words, she clumsily nodded her head before running out with the files.

"Uhh? Yes, Miss Xia.."
