265 She wont hurt you again (1/2)

''What is your father's occupation? ''

Liling's grip on the cup tightened and she bit on her lower lip. She knew what he was trying to do. He wanted to show her reasons why she was not good enough for his son. Of course, there was no way he would have come there without proper investigations of her identity.

''My father… is a carpenter '' Liling said in a mild tone. She could not lift her eyes, they were already blurry.

''Mm… nice hand work; and your mom? ''

'''She's dead. ''

''Sad ''

Mr. Zang said, sipping from his cup.

Liling felt like fainting. Her hands were so sweaty that the cup felt slippery. Sweat drops were dropping from her face onto the coffee.

''You have a bright future Miss Liling. I don't want you to waste it. I hear you are a singer? ''

''Yes sir ''

''Nice, nice ''

There was silence for a while.

''You know you can never be with him. He is engaged to another, whom I approve of. Liling, you are nobody, how do you expect me to let you be with him? I made some mistakes in my youth but I won't let Liu Wei make the same mistakes.

He has to marry the woman I choose and he cannot do anything about it. I'll give you an option Liling, ''

Mr. Zang paused. Liling was already crying at this point. Her tears were falling like a puddle.

''Stay with him for the mean time and get hurt in the end, or leave him now when it's still early. In reward, you'll get international endorsements, paid partnerships, and I'll make sure you become known worldwide. It's all up to you, Liling. ''

Liling was shaking by the time Liu Wei's father finished talking. Her face was so red that she felt it would bleed.

There was no way on earth she would accept his offer. Liu Wei had become so part of her life that she would choose him over anything on earth.

''I'll give you time to think about it, Liling. ''

''No… no, sir ''

She shook her head vehemently. Mr. Fang creased his brows.

''I can't accept your offer sir. I would never accept it. Liu Wei… Liu Wei, I can't live without him, sir. I'll choose him no matter what. If I'll get hurt, then let it be, but I'll still choose him. ''

Mr. Fang was quiet for a moment, staring at the tear faced lady. He knew that feeling well, he had felt it before. When he was young, he wasn't thinking of anything but to be with that woman, he even got her pregnant to force his parents to let her stay.

Now he was old, he realized how stupid he was at that time. He had rejected a girl from a multibillion dollar company for a girl, who died during childbirth, wasn't he stupid?

He was stupid and he regretted it, now, he wasn't going to let his son be.

''Liling, you think about it. ''

He took out a card and gave to the chauffeur, who walked over to her and placed it on her lap.

He said and stood up from the seat. Mr. Zang hadn't taken a few steps when Liu Wei came striding into the parlor.  He was surprised to see his father and he immediately asked.

''Father? What are you doing here? ''

Liling looked up immediately when she heard that familiar voice.

Liu Wei's eyes shifted from his dad to Liling who was still sitting down. As soon as their eyes met, a drop of tear fell from her eyes. She slowly stood up from the seat; her shirt was wet from her tears and her hair a bit sticky.

Liu Wei did not even talk to his father; he immediately walked over to where she was standing with the cup of coffee.
