Chapter 52：A dark and sinister Zhiyuan (1/2)

Shuang smiled as she texted.

'Pain in the ass and Xiaosi? Heh. You think too lowly of me.'

'My deepest apologies, Madam.'

'Anyway, I have a lot to say to you. Let's talk after I return.'

'Cool.'

'See ya.'

She was about to go offline but then a message came again.

'Shuang.'

She typed. 'What's it?'

Shuang saw him typing for a long time. He would pause and then type again. This went on for a long time before he finally said, 'Take care.'

She blinked her eyes and furrowed her brows.

'It took you that long to type just that?'

'Ah gotta go. Work call. Bye.'

Then he went offline and there was silence.

Shuang frowned.

After the whole fiasco got over, everybody quickly apologized and escaped to save themselves before Zhiyuan took any action against them. There was no doubt that the Han Corps was capable of bankrupting all their companies together at just the snap of his finger.

On Mu Chuanli's insistence, Miss Li grudgingly apologized to Zhiyuan not to lose her future in-law's favor.

There was silence as only Caihong, Zhiyuan, and Xinyi were left. Siying stared at the adults in confusion.

Zhiyuan worriedly checked Xinyi and Siying. ”Are you two alright?”

Xinyi nodded. ”We are fine.”

Siying asked, ”Dada, Why are you so worried?”

Zhiyuan picked him up and said, ”Siying, you didn't call me, right? Saying that you got lost? Just fifteen minutes ago.”

”No, Dada. I never called you. I was taking care of Mama!”

Xinyi widened her eyes. ”No, Zhiyuan. Siying was with me the whole time. Actually, I wanted to say that this misunderstanding might be a-”

”A trap,” he coldly smiled. ”Yes. I understand that.”

Suddenly, Chyou came running and said, ”Siying!”

Siying waved his hand.

Xinyi figured this was a good chance for the kids to be out of this confrontation. She bent and smiled. ”Ah see, Chyou is here too. Why don't you two go and play?”

Siying clutched her leg. ”But Mama is sick...I will stay with Mama.”

Chyou gasped. ”Aunty, you are sick?” Her small brows tensed up and she got concerned.

She tugged her dress. ”Don't worry, Aunty. I will take care of you too!”
