Chapter 53: She Family (Part 2)

She Lei's mother came from an ancient and powerful family in Europe called the Rosenguard Clan. The Rosenguard are extremely wealthy and powerful. For every generation, they've served Country F's royal family. Be it that they are male or female as long as they have the golden eyes.

The rare golden eyes that marked him as the Rosenguard Clan's kin

She Lei's mother, Evangeline Marie Rosenguard is the clan's eldest child and the holder of the golden eyes, making her the heiress.

It was said that the first head of the Rosenguard Clan had rare golden eyes, which later on, became the decision maker of the Rosenguard Clan's next heir.

However, when Evangeline met She Gu, whom was still married to She Jin's mother, she fell in love with him at first sight.

Her family found out about her affairs with a married man, bringing shame to their family name. If others find out about it, they will be ridiculed and scorned upon the Nobles' Society. Regardless of her family pressuring and criticizing her, Evangeline choose to stay with She Gu

Golden eyes or not, the Rosenguard kick her out of the family registration. They wouldn't want anything to do with a person whom sully the great Rosenguard Clan's noble name.

When Evangeline came running towards her lover's arms, crying, She Gu divorced She Jin's mother and married her. Not long after, She Lei was conceived.

The Rosenguard no longer have an heir who had the golden eyes because the Rosenguard's second child does not hold them, they could only anticipate for him have a child with such eyes.

As months passed, Evangeline died giving birth to She Lei. Now that She Gu's only ticket to achieve the backing of the Rosenguard is gone, he wouldn't want anything to do with the child.

But, when She Lei opened his eyes for the first time to show his golden eyes, he knew that the Rosenguards will not turn a blind eye on him.

"You should head towards the infirmary instead. You already received your punishment." She Lei does not hate his eldest half-brother, he just doesn't like him.

"I don't need your pity." She Jing scoffed, pushing him body up and left.

She Lei watched until his figure disappeared from the mansion's hallway before he entered his father's office.

"Mr Li, the main conference room is ready."

Ethan stopped typing on his laptop as his gaze landed on Yu Ming Lian's professionally calmed composition. Just by analyzing her posture and her expression, he can tell that she've manage to do what he asked for.

"En." Closing his laptop, Ethan readjusted his suit and tie before they go out. Just two floor below from where they came from is the main conference room. The room was still empty, Ethan and Yu Ming Lian are the only ones inside.

Ethan frowned is puzzlement when he saw that there are only three bottles of water with folders beside each.

There are only two attending?

Yu Ming Lian suddenly shivered as she felt coldness hitting her back. Mr Li does not appear to be happy, but he'll be in for a surprise soon. Mentally giggling, Yu Ming Lian ignored the cold aura her boss emits and focused on the projector.

Ethan's patience has gone thinner as the time passed. He's been waiting for 15 minutes and there's still no sign of the mysterious shareholder. Yu Ming Lian also felt a bit nervous but, remembering who the person was, she quickly regain her calm.

Suddenly, the door's handle shook as it was being opened from the outside. When Ethan saw who it was, he raised his eyebrow in confusion.

Who are these guys?"

"We're caught with traffic jam." The other man grinned. He was was taller and more muscular than his companion. He appeared to be more of a soldier instead of a business man in suit, unlike his companion.

"I sincerely apologize for our tardiness, Mr Li." The huge man's companion was three inches shorter than him but still considered as tall. With his body hugging black suit, you can definitely tell that he's lean.

"Allow me to properly introduce ourselves. I am Song Mo Kun and this gentleman beside me is..."

"Tang He Jiu, nice to finally meet ya, Ethan Li." He said with a mischievous smile.
