Chapter 173 - Uncle (2/2)

”And why should I? I am a business man. I don't do things that doesn't profit me”

”I know.” She answered. ”Someone is trying to get rid of me and I'm sure it's from your sister's family. If I die. You'll be at a disadvantage” She warned.

”You must really attach much value to your life. Your life means nothing especially right now” He said in mock tone.

”Look here Mo Dexi. I don't have time to play around with you. If they get rid of me, then it's over for you. Your sister will go to any length to pair Jinyoung up with any other family and then, it'll be easy to take you down. Really easy. But what if I'm still alive? I'll give birth to this child and stay beside Jinyong no matter what. There'll be no way he'll be your competition. Not now or in the future.” She made a long speech hoping he would be convinced and help her out.

Dexi smiled before throwing the cigarette butt into the ashtray. ”First, you shouldn't address me by my name but as 'Uncle'” He corrected. ”So you're saying?” He asked impatiently.

”They might try to come after me again. I need to get to your family's house before then. You have to protect me to make sure I get there safely. If I and Jinyoung go abroad, you'll no longer feel threatened” She spoke confidently, ignoring his correction of her calling him 'uncle' How silly of him!

But to her surprise, she heard him laugh.

”I do not care about your life. It'll be too easy to make sure Jinyoung never gets to the top. With or without you” He spoke clearly and carefully.

”Mo Dexi!” She screamed at him in fury.

”You don't have anything for me. So I'm hanging up now” He said before pulling the phone from his ear. His hands stopped when he heard her say

”Wait!... What...what do you want?” She asked in a shaky and pleading voice. He was her last hope. She had no one else to call for help.

Dexi's smile widened. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

”Sara Wang.... I need to know everything you know about her. And..you must not leave any detail out”

Hoy looked at Yang Aishu with dull eyes. Everything she had been saying didn't interest him at all. The only thing that caught his interest was when he heard her ask

”You don't want this right?”

Hell ya! He didn't. It was his first ever blind date. In fact, she was the first girl he was sitting with and having a drink with in a private bar room. Totally boring and awkward.

”I don't want this. And I believe you don't want it either.”

Aishu scoffed in annoyance. Even if he didn't want it, he didn't have to be so blunt about it.

She was a woman everyone wanted even at her 19 years of age.

She was from Country B's number one family. Pretty, smart and had a big mall even though she was still studying business management in school.

”You must think you're something because you're young and successful” She said

”You must also think the same way about yourself.” He replied in a relaxed tone. ”Since we've both been sitting here, acting like we're obeying our family's wishes, which in the actual sense we're not, I think it's better to end this and go home.” He stood up and buttoned his expensive suit. Then, he nodded politely at her before leaving the room.

He didn't want any of this. His grandmother should face Minde instead of him since he was older.

Minde on the other hand smiled happily when his car got to Muchen's apartment.

Go to his parent's house? He'd rather die.

”From today, I'll be living here” He said with a wide grin on his face.
