Xuan Mu and XiaoPu watched from the safety of their home, holding in their breath, not used to this side of Bing Shi. Only her little brothers and some men from the construction sites were among the few witnesses.
Sometimes a smile could scare a person, right? There would be something ‘off’ about certain smiles. Their minor discrepancy could make one’s brain uncertain, fear would creep in because they couldn’t completely comprehend what was going on.
Yet, his wife never used a smile to scare someone away. Bing Shi without a smile meant that things had gone shit. Her severe, commanding tone seemed more than “off”. One didn’t have a choice but to shudder from uneasiness. Her vacant eyes looked as if she was fed up with everyone and everything. Whatever Mo Luwei did, she was done dealing with this dude.
When Mo Luwei reached out towards the photos of his son and the DNA results with shaking hands. Bing Shi pulled out a syringe and stabbed it between his fingers, piercing through the photos, creating a hole in the wooden table.
Mo Luwei looked at Bing Shi with fierce eyes, his doting behavior disappearing. This stupid woman jumped straight into his trap! There were cameras videoing their every move, and the villa was surrounded by his people! What made her take such drastic actions? She did nothing even when he made her and her father homeless, “You think you’re safe because Li Jie gained more power? If you don’t let them go, I’ll ruin your Li group by tomorrow! Let’s see if you still have the gall!”
“What?! You think I can’t use the same cheap tactic?!” Bing Shi yelled out, the icy hostility in her voice was colder than an arctic sea, eroding his insides. She punctured Mo Luwei’s palm, injecting some strange liquid into his skin. She had her way of displaying authority, and the impact she had used to cause, scared even herself when she was like this, “You know what?! I changed my mind! Thirty-five percent! That’s how cheap your life is in my eyes! Yes or No?! Answer me!”
.....
“Do you think you can win against me?!” Mo Luwei’s vision became blurred, his forehead covered in sweats, he felt severe pain around the injected area, “I will certainly destroy all the things you hold dear in your heart so that you’ll live in misery for the rest of your life!”
“Twenty-five percent! Congratulations! Your worth keeps on decreasing!” The image of her husband being locked up in the middle of nowhere because of this jerk? No way! Holding the syringe, she drilled deeper into Mo Luwei’s skin, hitting his bones, drawing a painful groan out of his lips. “Why are you forcing me to become a bully like you?!” Bing Shi took out a tablet from her bag, rewriting the contract, she placed it before the weakened Mo Luwei, “Inform your lawyers of the exchange, that is... if you don’t want to become a cripple.” She pointed at his palm, “Hurry up!”
“Let them go and I will give you what you want,” Mo Luwei said slowly, gritting his teeth. He took out his phone. Everything about this woman haunted him in ways he could not explain. Compared to him, she was a nobody, so why? Why was he the one being suppressed? She always came to someone’s defense, she was always getting in his way. She wouldn’t do something to Su Min and the child, would she?
“Of course I would. They’ll have to take care of you, a disabled man. Aren’t you curious how it would feel to be dependent on a sick mother and child?” As if reading his mind, Bing Shi took the USB out of his suit pocket, dismissing the group of men with guns that appeared in the living room. She could tolerate a lot and was always careful around the leads but this man was really getting on her nerves.
This was her second time where someone began to stand in her way to a point of wanting to get rid of them, “This is only the beginning, continue annoying me if you want to see your ending.”
After a few calls, Mo Luwei’s eyesight got worse, at the same time, he lost the feeling in his limbs. She ruthlessly poured a whole barrel of gasoline into the spark of fear in his mind.
The war between Mo Luwei and Bing Shi couldn’t go on forever. Either one of them died or backed away. From the way things were going on now, both of them were holding back for various reasons. Up until that particular moment, she was the one who kept taking a step back...
Who was an ant in whose eyes now? She spared Mo Luwei’s life and to think that she was going to give him the things he was looking for, at a ridiculous discount. Should he be glad that she knew nothing about business, or should he feel infuriated in disregarding his worth? First, she wanted 50% of his shares in exchange for his life, Su Min and his baby and then she went all the way down to 25%. But the thing that shocked him the most was that the shares were to be put under Binfinity... Since when did she have a connection with Binfinity?
· · — · ???· — · ·
As soon as Binfinity’s standing stabilized, Lu Kai threw his position of managing the business at someone else. This left him and his development team free to do what they wanted on their designs. Costs? Who cares about costs when Lu Kai was no longer managing Binfinity. For reasons unknown to everyone but himself, he decided to resign entirely from the business world. This effectively cut every connection he had with the world so he could focus on his so-called self-improvement.
Nobody could understand what went through his head. This sudden action of his caused a small freakout to the people who worked in Binfinity. Everyone feared that Binfinity’s rapid progress would slow down, or even stop.
The people who governed the management of Binfinity marveled at their sudden growth in assets after they received an order from Silika Lin. Why did they listen to her? Firstly, she was Mr. Lu’s wife. Secondly, she received Mr. Lu’s shares. Thirdly, she achieved some incredible profits.Using Li Jie as a walking advertisement for free was only a fragment of things she did to raise Binfinity’s worth.
They asked Silika if she would take over her husband’s position. Why would they ask someone who just graduated high school such a stupid question? Well, first of all, she was Mr. Lu’s wife after all, and maybe she could persuade her husband to return. They even thought that she was a genius too. Sadly, she wasn’t a total genius like her husband. Her inventions would never become revolutionary. But she would occasionally take over some managing work and decision making, emphasizing on spreading themselves into other areas.
They received another order and that was for their representative to take the position as one of the board of directors and support Li Jie in the upcoming election.
· · — · ???· — · ·
This time, it was Li Jie who messaged Silika Lin.
Li Jie: I have to attend my grandfather’s birthday party in a week. My parents are nagging me to bring you along. They still believe all of those rumors.... They didn’t even believe me when I tried to clarify our relationship.
Xuan Mu, who had been staring at the ceiling of their bedroom, switched his gaze between his wife’s nightstand and the bathroom.
Silika Lin: I HATE PARTIES!!!
Li Jie: What can I give you to make you come to the party?
Li Jie tried to bargain.
Silika Lin: I want everythings you don’t have.
After responding to Li Jie’s message, Xuan Mu placed his wife’s phone aside and continued to study.
‘All of those rumors’, yeah, okay. Now, nobody would believe it. Silika Lin could become a secret mistress to a married billionaire and nobody would believe any of the headlines that would say that Silika slept with so and so to get a role in a play. They would talk about it, yes, but really, even though nobody believed the rumors or the headlines, they still found it entertaining.
The reason why nobody would believe that Silika would be a mistress and so on, was quite simple: it was because Silika Lin became famous for rejecting two of the most eligible bachelors in the country. Nobody cared whether Mo Luwei was faking his interest in Silika or not; the public only cared that he blatantly showed his change of heart.
