54 Cancel the engagemen (1/2)

The next day Cheng Ze went to work early. He called Li Wei and discussed some business stuff.

They talked about what will happen if they let go of Eric.

”What's your opinion about leaving Mr Watts out?” Cheng Ze asked Li Wei.

Li Wei looked at him, 'Why all of a sudden he wants him out?' ”Well, It's not gonna be good to let him go. The company will suffer a big loss plus he is a partner now. Also, the expansion to Europe is on his hands. It will be wise to keep him on board for companies sake.”

”I really don't want to do business with him anymore! Is there no way to kick him out? If we have to pay to kick him out of the company, I think we should...” Cheng Ze looks dead serious.

”Did something happened? You cannot decide this matter by yourself! You will have to have a meeting and the board will decide. Plus you wanted this, you wanted him in the company. It won't be good for all of us to throw him out. It's a lose-lose situation.” Li Wei explained.

”Mr Watts is forcing Ji An to be with him! He was forcing his self to her. Lucky I came, if I didn't I don't know what could have happened to her” he states angrily.

”Isn't he her husband?” he curiously asks.

”No. They've divorced.”

”Oh! Then why is he telling everyone she is his wife?” he was bewildered.

”Because he wants to cling on her. He doesn't want to let her go. He loves her that much.” he said without any emotions.

Li Wei move closer to him”Boss, have you find out anything about her daughter?” he remembered Sofia.

”What about her?” he asks without looking at Li Wei.

”Well, just by her face I can tell she's yours!” he murmured.

”Hmm?... Li Wei get back to work. Men don't gossip! She has a father.” he said while giving him a warning look. But in his head 'Is it possible for her to be mine? To be my daughter? How?' he relaxes on his chair he shut his eyes trying to recall things. ”Li Wei... Why are you giving me a headache?”

Li Wei looked at him ”How is it a headache? What if she's yours? I'm sure you wants to be her father, am I wrong?”

”And what if she's not? You want me have hope and then crush me down?” he got irritated. ”Let's say she turned out to be mine, what then? Lori and I... The engagement... Li Wei just stop your gossips.” he sounded fed up.

”Boss you slept with her 6 years ago! Don't tell me you didn't think it's possible for her to fall pregnant and carry your child? We didn't hear anything from her after that. She came here and she stayed with you! She probably came to tell Madam Gu she is pregnant with an unknown father but because of the situation, she couldn't bring herself to tell anyone.” Li Wei didn't stop there. He has no plan on stopping at all.

”What if you knew back then? What if she had told all of you her situation? Will Ms Shen be in the picture? Boss I'm really concerned here... for you...” he looked at him trying to convince him to listen to him.

”It will not hurt you or anyone to do a paternity test. We just want to be sure! If she's yours... Then we have to eliminate Ms Shen!” he smiled at his own idea. He thinks he is the boss's brain.

Cheng Ze's brows furrowed. To come and think of it, it's actually a good idea. ”What do you mean by eliminating Ms Shen? To cancel the engagement? On what grounds? For having a daughter with a different woman? Do you think the Shen family will accept that? Come on Li Wei, we have to come up with something better and totally reasonable and acceptable for them.” he likes Li Wei's idea but they have to come up with a good excuse to cancel the engagement.

”First things first, do the paternity test. Take her to the clinic.” he is so eager.
