70 Suspicions III

"What are you doing home so early Liang Jian Amal?" He tapped a finger on the desk, slowly methodically. "Have you properly greeted Miss Yan yet?"

"Indeed and I have sent her home safely as well." Liang Ju-Long smiled coldly hearing Liang Jian Amal's matter of fact answer.

"You would do well to remember that we cannot offend the Yan family at this time. while we may have more wealth, they are an older family that has powerful connections."

"I fully understand the matter Chairman Liang about anything, I have it fully under control. You should just stay at home, rest and enjoy retirement. Count the money that is collected." Liang Jian Amal gave his father a winning smile to his father's withering one.

'You should just stay in your hole, you old snake.'

"Fine, I guess I shall trust in your judgement for now CEO Liang, please do not prove me wrong. Also you really should see about marrying a suitable woman to help strengthen your position." Liang Ju-Long stood and straightened his black suit. He always wore black, it sharpened the harsh angles in his cold face.

"I already have."

Liang Ju-long scowled at his son, as he came near to Liang Jian Amal. "I hope you do not mean that American common girl. That would be a disgrace."

"She is a Dumont."

"That means nothing, she merely carries a name, it holds no weight; especially here. Do not waste your time further on this matter."

"Any time I waste would be time not spent with her in my life. Did you not ever feel the same for my mother?"

Liang Ju-long turned as he was leaving and sneered at his son. "What a womanly thing to say. This is the business world, what we need are power and connections, not feelings." He turned away and started to walkway but stopped as if he thought of something. "As for your mother, it has been so long, it is hard to say." Liang Ju-Long proceeded to leave without another word.

Liang Jian Amal narrowed his eyes at his back. After he left Liang Jian Amal received a call back from the flight captain and confirmed a a time to fly in a couple hours. He showered himself and changed into a pair of casual clothes, and pulled out his laptop to do some business on in the interim before he left. As he worked he kept checking constantly his satellite phone expecting a call back from Hao Jin Ying. After another hour, when he did not receive a call back, he dialed himself, only to hear the dialing tone going on and on.
