SHE-DEVIL 18

'. Do they need anything?'. Miss Xia asked as Chuxi accompanied her.

'. As you said, everything has been done!'.

'. This is good, we must not miss this opportunity!'.

'. Have got you covered boss!!'. She smiled at her.

'. If you need anything, let me know!'.

'. Don't worry about that, boss!'.

'. You can go!'.

'. Ok!'. She walks away.

'. [Sighs]'. She places her hands in her pockets.

'. Hello!'. A hand gently waved at her.

'. Mr Lu?'. She slightly raised her head.

'. What is it? Surprised to see me?'.

'. I was on my way to your office!'.

'. My office?...why?'.

'. Thanks for helping me!'.

'. Is that all?'. He raised his eyebrows.

'. How about I treat you to lunch?'.

'. Really?'.

'. My treat!'.

'. [Smiling], okay!'.

'. I am a little busy now, how about later?'.

'. Later?'. He slowly turned.

'. What do you say?'. She walks to his front.

'. I agree!'.

'. Mr Lu, you are the best boss!!'. She smiled at him and walked away.

'. Best boss?.....you only remember that when you get what you want!'. He smiled.

Mr Ài and Mr Rong were in the study room. Mr Rong stood there.

'. Miss Xia had been doing well lately!'.

'. I know!'.

'. I guess the Years of waiting for her to return wasn't a waste!'.

'.....about the project?'.

'. The project is been handled by Mr Fan and other staff!'.

'. I thought the project was supposed to be handled by Xia?'.

'. Something new came in!'.

'. That is?'.

'. Some foreigners made a reservation at one of our best Villa, Miss Xia is taking care of this!'.

'. I see!'.

'. ZGDX has a chance now, I believe Miss Xia will bring ZGDX back to the top!'.

'. I know Xia she won't fail me!'. He said smiling.

'. That's good to hear!'.

'. Notice the board, a meeting would be coming up soon!'.

'. Yes sir!'. He slightly bowed.

Mrs Qian sat there in her office waiting for Miss Xia. Miss Xia had just arrived and walked into her office.

'. Mrs Qian?'.

'. You are here!'. She sat down.

'. I got a message that you wanted to see me!'.

'. Um!'.

'. What's it?'.

'. I called because at some point I got confused!'.

'. Why are you getting confused?'.

'. Does this game have survivors?'.

'. What do you mean?'.

'. You are working with me to take down Lei Company and at the same time you are helping Lei Company to take down Su Company and Future Group!.....who are you?'.

'. You found out?'.

'. I can't work with someone who isn't known by the public but claims to be Mr.'s granddaughter!'.

'. I get it!'.

'. What are you doing this for?'.

'. Mrs Qian as long as you play along, I promise you Su company won't remain the same!'.

'. Should I trust you?'.

'. If I go back on my word, you are free to do anything to me!'.

'. [Sighs]...'.

'. It's okay to not trust me.

'. I have no idea what game you are playing but as long as Su company doesn't get involved in any way, you are safe!'.

'. Thanks, Mrs. Qian for this one last chance I won't fail you!'. She smiled at her.

'. You may go back now, I guess I interrupted your work.

'. Thanks, Mrs Qian!'. She got up and walked away.

Mei Xia walked majestically out of the Su company. On her way out she meets Lei Wuije who is heading in.

'. Miss Xia?'. He turned to her.

'. Mr Lei!'. She smiled.

'. Fate works!'.

'. I know right?

'. It's been a while now!'.

'. I am so sorry Mr Lei, I had to deal with some business deals!'.

'. Oh!'. He gently approached her.

'. Seems like you are faster than I thought!'.

'. [Smiling], Mr. Lei don't think I am some kid, when it comes to business you can name me The Mafia Queen!'. She smiled.

'. Miss Xia, you are different from who I imagined!'. He takes a step backward.

'. Mr. Lei, I must say you are hardworking. She said seeing him holding some files.

'. I am not a lazy bone!'.

'. Are you here to deliver those files?'.

'. The boss asked me to do so!'.

'. [The black sheep finally decides to make a bad move, too bad!]'.

'. That's good then, I will take my leave now!'.

'. Have a good day then!'.

'. Bye!'. She entered her car.

Lin Ba stood while Mr Lu sat there. He was being handed some personal information. Mr Lu went through them and turned his face away disappointed.

'. [Sighs]'. He rubbed his hair.

'. Mr. Lu, this is all the encounters Miss Xia had with Mr. Lei Wuije since she mysteriously came back.

'. Why does she look so happy speaking with him?'.

'. I really can't explain what they were talking about that made her seem happy but she didn't seem comfortable either!'.

'. I tried to believe that Miss Xia isn't Mei Lien but for some reason, I feel like I have always been right!'.

'. Some men also caught Miss Xia and Mr Lei going into a hotel!'.

'. You can do so many things in a hotel!'.

'....'. He slightly bowed his head.

'. We have to be careful about Lei Wuije he isn't as simple as we think he is!'.

'. Miss Xia just returned from the States, how was she able to get Mr. Lei to be her friend!'.

'. Something seems off here!'.

'. I promise to deal with this!'.

'. Oh!'. A guard walks in.

'. Mr Lu!'.

'. Yes?'.

'. Miss Xia is here!'. Mr Lu and Lin Ba turned to each other.

'. Let her in!'.

'. Ok!'. The guard walked out.

'. [Sighs]'.

'. Mr Lu!'. She jumped happily into the office.

'. Good afternoon, Miss Xia!'. Lin Ba bowed as he greeted her.

'. You don't have to be so formal, we are friends!'. She smiled.

'. Lin Ba, you can go now!'.

'. Yes!'.

'. You don't have to leave, we are friends, aren't we?'.

'. That's not what I meant, Lin Ba has some business to take care of.

'. Ahhh!'.

'. I will leave now!'. He gently got out of the office.

'. You finally remembered me?'.

'. Mr Lu!'. She sat down.

'. Why does my name sound so sweet?'.

'. Don't flatter yourself!'.

'. Silly!'.

'. Didn't you say you wanted to have lunch?'.

'. I thought someone said it was her treat?'

'. It's my treat!..... I can't let my confidant pay for the bills!'.

'. Confidant?'.

'. Yes!....if it weren't for you, I would have lost such an opportunity!'. She smiled.

'. How could you have forgotten that you had a client to take care of?'.

'. If it weren't for this client, I wouldn't work late at night...I hate working late nights!'.

'. [Scoffs].....as a businesswoman, shouldn't that be a hobby for you!'.

'. Who said I have to kill myself?'.

'. [Smiles], so what do you do at night? Sleep?'.

'. Sleep?...you must be kidding!'.

'. If you are not working or sleeping, then what are you doing?'. He stared at her.

'. [Could it be that....?]'.

'. What are you thinking?..... I watch late-night movies and have late-night snacks!'.

'. Why not just watch movies in the daytime?'.

'. I am too busy to watch a movie in the daytime!'.

'. I see!'.

'. Put on your coat let's go have some fun!'.

'. [Sighs]....'.

At the Ài mansion, the family sat there in the dining room. The atmosphere seemed pleasant for some unknown reason. Why was Grandpa happy?

'. Grandpa, you seem happy!'. Yuayua places her arm on him.

'. Yuayua, it is good to be happy and not hold grudges or be sad!'.

'. Grandpa, you are right!'.

'. Shouldn't the kids be back home by now?'. He turned to Lun Weishan, who gently peeled her banana.

'. Shanggue promised to come back early, as for Xia, she hasn't been home for some time!'.

'. Who does Xia think she is to return home at any time?!'. Yuayua turned to her grandpa.

'. Yuayua, Xia is very busy, it's normal for her to stay in the office!'.

'. Mom! Grandpa!!.... I am back!'. Shanggue gave his coat to the maid and walked to his family.

'. Brother, you kept us waiting!'. Yuayua said as he sat.

'. I am sorry!'.

'. Where is Xia?'. Lun Weishan asked.

'. She wasn't at the company when I left!'.

'. I wonder what she has been up to lately!'.

'. Isn't it obvious that she is nothing but a slut!'.

'. Yuayua, you can't say such things about your sister!'.

'. But grandpa!...she is indirectly disrespecting us!!...why do you take her side so much!!!'. Yuayua got up.

'. Yuayua, sit down!'. Her mom yelled at her.

'. None of you are being fair, all because I am not in the company!!'.

'. Be quiet!!'.

'. Yuayua, can you please mind your Language?'. Shanggue said.

'. I am not eating!'. She walked away.

'. Yuayua!!'. Her mother called but she walked away angrily.

'. Let her be!.....she will come over soon!'.

'. Grandpa, I just discovered a new project!'.

'. Really?'.

'. But this project lacks financial support, I promise it will be very beneficial to the company!'.

'. Financial support?'.

'. Yes '.

'. Xia project is still going on, we can't help with yours for now until the project is completed!'.

'. What's so special about Xia project to cost the whole finance department!'.

'. Your project will be on hold for the main time...once the current project is completed, I will personally fund yours!'.

'. [Xia!! Xia!!]'. He clenched his hand angrily.

'. Hahaha!!!'. Xia squatted laughing as they walked down the street.

'. Hahaha!!'.

'. Are you crazy?'.

'. That's the only thing I could do!'.

'. You are so bad!'. They laughed.

'. [Sighs]'.

'. Off-work time is fun!'.

'. Better than watching late-night movies and having snacks?'.

'. Just a little!'.

'. It's been some time since we knew each other....tell me about yourself?'.

'. Me?...there's nothing special about me!'.

'. [Scoffs]...you think so?'.

'. I know so!.....who wants to be with a boring freak like me?'.

'. But I did end up with you!'.

'. You.....you are a different person!'.

'. Really?'.

'. Don't think something else!... I just like giving compliments!'.

'. I see!'.

'. I heard Mr Lu became a top businessman at the age of 12?'.

'. You stayed overseas how come you know so much about me?'.

'. That's why I said a top!'.

'. My parents wanted me to become a

successful person when I grew up, so I was asked to study hard, and even got involved in politics!'.

'. Seemed you didn't have a peaceful childhood as well!'.

'. As well?'.

'. I wasn't forced to study, but I did have a crazy childhood!'.

'. Why then did you say as well!'. He slightly turned his face away.

'. [That's because not all gold glitter!]'.

'. I had a great time with you!'.

'. Me too!'.

'. The driver would be here soon....so I guess this is it!'. They looked around as they stopped walking.

'. I guess so!'.

'. You know so much about me, but I don't know a thing about you....it's crazy!'.

'. Stop being silly!'. She smiled at him.

'. So when do we meet again?'.

'. When?'.

'. Hm!'.

'. At the big surprise party!'.

'. Surprise party?'.

'. Yes!'.

'. Where?'.

'. At your company!'. She walked away as her car arrived.

'. Hey! Hey!....why is there a surprise party at my company, I didn't plan such!'. He shouted as the car rode off.
