Chapter 293 - Respect yourself first.

"Now scram, I am no more interested in this shit piece of land. I will just let it get destroy on its own", he scowled as he a gave one last death glare to the manager. Taking his phone out, he dialed a number to immediately gave the order, "Black Drunkard's Club. I want everything to be ruined into ashes." Hearing the death sentencing words from the Devil, the manager didn't know how to persuade any further. He has been so bling with his own selfish motives that he did not realized that he had locked all his escaping windows with his very own hands. Never in his dream he had thought that the woman against whom he wanted her daughter to stand up would have such a formidable personality. He has been blind to compare her to someone common. He wanted to apologize for his ill - mannered behavior but no words were coming out in such context. Straining his every fiber of his body hard, he managed to get on his knees. All this while, Lifen's eyes were only focused on the man who was having a furious expression on his face. Previously though, he has not stepped in the matter when the manager has thrown insulting words towards her, she had seen how his fists were twisting with an urge to punch that fat head. If not for the promise he had given to her, the man would already have been lying the grave by the time now. Seeing him fulfill his promises over his own feeling, she felt that this man was really someone who values his words to a great extent. He has promised her to give the space and time to promise her dwells by herself until she lost her interest to fight more for any matter. Though the story got started with a play he created to tease her but had only let it go this far because she has got her interest set into. Now after feeling her displeasure into this he didn't wasted another moment to wrap everything up. This man might be out of the understanding of others but was someone she understands the most. The more she looked at him the more she got pleased. She was snapped back when heard the pleading voice of the manager. It was the first time in the whole evening that the manager had brought himself to be so humble. "Pardon my mistakes, Madam. I never knew you such a formidable background. I wouldn't have dare to be so arrogant if known your capabilities. I think my s.e.xist thoughts have brought me to this downfall. But Miss please help me save myself and my family". "If this club got ruined, out reputation in the society will get tarnished and we won't have way to survive. Knowing that we are someone that dared to offend the business tycoon will surely bury us alive in our graves. Please save us. In order to repay you, we can offer you anything you want., even my daughter. She could be your servant", he continued. Lifen looked at the pleading stature of the old man. She has never been a woman who has been arrogant to the limit where she will let an old man to beg for mercy on his knees. But there is no way she would let anyone slide off without making his accept his mistakes. She then eyed toward Xiao Ling, who was still in a dumbfounded expression. She was still in the same standing posture for God knows how much time now. Lifen really felt pity for such girls of the society. They are often prepared in such a way that in future they can be used as the bait to lure good rich family which will bring ways to fortune to their families. "I am sorry but I really can't help you in any way, Mr. Manager. Not at least until you change your narrow mentality. You have almost reached your downfall yet you didn't realize where everything went wrong. It's not just about me. You have insulted every woman who strives hard in their career in life. They are not just born to get judgement from the people like you", she said giving disdainful looks to the man. "I know I was wrong and I will definitely change for good. But for the last time please save us. Only you…", the manager's anxious words were cut off when heard the cold voice of the woman. "You are still promising to change but when will you change. You are still repeating the same mistake. Is your daughter a piece of jewel to you whom you can barter the way you want? Don't you feel that you should ask her wish at least? That the minimal right she has on her own life. You can give her away to become someone's servant when all her life she was used to get spoiled by her parents. What do you think? Is this really right?" her each words were piercing at the right spot. She then looked at the girl who was clearly listening all her words carefully. "And you, don't you feel your life will go waste if you waste it without any aim. Man can never be treated as the assurance to live a better life. One should only rely on their own capabilities. You can seek them to fulfill them emptiness in your heart on your bank balance. Respect yourself first, if you really want others to respect you". There was a silence in the air when she was done with her words. Lifen felt a hand crept slowly to held her hands, pressing it lightly in assurance that he supported her thoughts and will always support. His touch felt warm and assuring that gave her confidence. The manager was still kneeling on the ground. No one can tell what was really thinking. His shoulders were hunched over in disappointment but was it for real or not, no one can tell. The only word that he can utter was, "I am sorry". He didn't plead to save the club anymore as if he didn't want any of that anymore. Xiao Ling on the other side was already grieving for the time she has lost living without any aim. She has heard the words Lifen said and really felt it was her mistake for never thing in a way that would have brought her the respect. "I am sorry. I was wrong but now my time has already been lost. I am at such an age without any talent. And there is no way I could do anything now. It looks like this the punishment God has given me for disrespecting myself", Xiao Ling cried as tears streamed down her cheeks. Lifen can feel the regret in her voice. She wanted to console her but that would be mean sympathizing her for her condition which was wrong. So she thought of another way to help her. "It's good that you realized it. There is no way a realization could go waste. You are still young to strive for your dreams. Age can never bind one's potential. It's just depends on how hard you try", she said to boost the morale of the girl. "How?" Xiao Ling asked perplexedly. "That depends on your dream? On what you want to go for?" Lifen said nonchalantly. "I don't have any talent except for my beauty. What could I do with this?", she said in disappointment. "Then go after it. Your beauty can't get you less", Lifen said with a smile that was still confusing but her next words made it clear for the girl, "You can train yourself to become a model. ______ When everything was done, Lifen looked at the man who was still sleeping. She looked at Daiyu and said, "Daiyu I think we should take him with us today. That way we can talk to him as soon as she gets up" Daiyu too nodded her head as she looked at Su Yan who was sleeping unfazed with all this chaos around. Lifen didn't thought that words might not feel right to someone until she felt a tight angry squeeze on her hand which was still held by Deming. "Don't you feel it's wrong for someone to look after someone else's boyfriend when you have yours sitting beside you" She nearly rolled her eyes over her. "O Please! It not like you care and secondly…" Before she could clear real intention behind her words, Deming said in commanding tone which clearly warned her, "You are coming with me now" "But… But I can't let Daiyu be alone in such situation. She won't be able to manage it", she tried to retort when Deming has already pulled up on her legs. He didn't respond to her, just looked in a certain direction and soon a man in black casuals appeared. Lifen was baffled at his sudden appearance as if he was all time present there. "You!" "You!"

Daiyu and Lifen cried at the same time in complete confusion.
