she knows something 1

a marriage to the richest family in city H is something Xiao He cannot afford to back down on,and a stupid illegitimate child won't stop him

" sure old madam Bo,our Jiji will be delighted to hear of this proposal...." he said with the biggest smile ever grinning from ear to ear

He Yemin couldn't handle it anymore,though she didn't particularly give birth to Xiao Ji,she brought her up and knew her personality

she would never accept this marriage and not with a gun pointed at her temple,if they were to insist then a huge commotion would start,she hurriedly nudged at Xiao He's arms pulling his attention to herself

" what are you doing? you know very well that Xiao Ji won't accept this marriage and I can't accept it either,Bo Zhang is a sickling why would I want my daughter to marry him?" she argued in whispers with her face contoured in anger

" what are you talking about YeYe? I know that Xiao Ji is your daughter,she is also mine but this marriage will benefit her a lot more than it will for us,once she becomes young madam Bo....no one will look down on her.no one will criticize her skin color" he explained to He Yemin in a lightly audible voice.Xiao Li seemed to have sensed what was ongoing and chimmed in

" yes sister in-law,my brother is right Xiao Ji won't suffer injustice in the Bo family" she tried her best to put in a good word so that Xiao Ji will be married off and far from her niece, Xiao Min and Qin Qiao

" ok the....." she almost agreed when old madam Bo spoke up

" madam Xiao, don't you think you should call your daughter and besides I want to see my future grand-daughter- in-law" she demanded

everyone felt the panick He Yemin was feeling, Xiao Ji is a tough nut to crack,she is stubborn and strong-willed

if she insisted on something,then no one else will turn her away from it,she was just too headstrong.He Yemin felt helpless and weak

" uhm....about that....uhm old madam Bo,I think we should..." she tried to sway old madam Bo from the decision but she was interrupted by Xiao Min

" mom just call over Ji'er old madam Bo wants to acknowledge her grand daughter-in-law, right old madam Bo?... " she asked old madam Bo hinting that she should agree,old madam Bo felt it was amusing

old madam Bo: "..."

' I think I'll watch some drama here' she thought as she laughed inwardly,the Xiao family are giving her a good show

" yes miss Xiao, madam Xiao your daughter is right,I would love to acknowledge my granddaughter in-law...." she said with an air of finality, giving no one chance to refute

He Yemin was on the verge of breaking down,they wouldn't understand that girl,she was different from others,royals are headstrong and proud,she wanted to refuse but Xiao He urged her on

" YeYe,just call Xiao Ji home,she would understand that you are looking out for her ...." he urged then Xiao Li leaned forward

" yes sister-in-law,call Xiao Ji home, concoct a story to bring her home,after all it's an honor to marry into the Bo family" she pressed

He Yemin couldn't bear the pressure so she picked up her cellphone and dialled Xiao Ji's number,Xiao Li and Xiao min were ecstatic as to what was about to happen, Xiao He was worried that she will turn down the marriage thus ruining his plans while Qin Qiao was delighted and looking forward to seeing her,it's been two years since their breakup and the last time he saw her

He Yemin was trembling as she called Xiao Ji,after it rung two times,the third one the reciever picked up

" hello....Xiao Ji on the line,who am I speaking to?...." she dropped a bombshell on everyone,He Yemin felt ashamed as the phone was on speaker, everyone including the nearby servants heard her

>.....<

she was embarrassed

" you unfilial child,you didn't even save your mother's number..." she yelled softly to cover for her awkwardness while her gaze swept through the whole sitting room

" ohh....it's you...." came her short acknowledgement

" what is that supposed to mean? am your mother young la....." she tried to yell at her but Xiao Ji interrupted her impatiently

" state your reason for calling or am hanging up..." she said straight forwardly,her single sentence surprised everyone, though Xiao Ji wasn't the soft girl type,she was a little gentle and naive

" I want you to come home,I have something to discuss with you" she said trying to draw her attention but Xiao Ji didn't fall for it

" why?" came her short question which confused He Yemin

" what do you mean by why?" she asked with a confused expression on her face

" tell me what is your plan? what do you plan on doing?" she asked in a suspicious tone,her questions were sarcastic,making old madam Bo to chuckle a little, Xiao He was furious,that stupid bastard was humiliating his beautiful wife without making a sweat

He Yemin was dumbfounded,she never expected Xiao Ji to suspect her of trying to harm her " are you suspecting me of trying to harm you?" she asked in a pained voice but was beyond shocked when Xiao Ji scoffed

" who knows,the Xiao family members are despicable,I left two years ago and no one bothered to call in fact you all were elated to see me leave,you calling me back isn't a good sign itself....." she maintained her stance while pointing to the fact that they watched her leave without batting an eyelid,old madam Bo paused in her actions of sipping tea

He Yemin gritted her teeth ' all you royal know how to embarrass commoners but I'll make sure that you pay for your mother's sins' she thought with wickedness

" I know your father's whereabouts..." she announced after she summoned courage

Xiao Min and Xiao Li: ^....^

Qin Qiao: *....*

Xiao He: -....-

old madam Bo: ' interesting,I smell a rat,He Yemin,what are you hiding?' she questioned He Yemin in her mind

the most shocked was Xiao Ji,it was her birth father in question,she could remember that Everytime she asked her mother about her father she would curse him and his other wife to death for dumping her and rejecting their baby which was Xiao Ji this she was all eager to hear about her father so she could talk to him and give him a piece of her mind

she hated him so much for rejecting her and marrying someone else,for letting her suffer for not having a father by her side

for making her cry countless times at night when she lost the person she loved the most

for not acknowledging her and not standing up for her

tears and anger welled up in her eyes

" really mom?" she asked He Yemin who could sense the hate and anger in her voice,she will use Xiao Ji to fight them,she knew how vengeful she is

" yes,hurry up or....." she heard the roar of power bike and the beeping of the disconnected line

" she's coming" she told everyone thus bringing them out of their trans

" mom do you know where her father is?" Xiao Min asked curiously,she wanted to see Xiao Ji's beggar of a father,she knew her father hated the mention of Xiao Ji's father and her mother would become moody after that thus words about him was banned,maybe her mother suffered too much in his hands

" not at all,you know very much that in a normal occasion,she wouldn't come,I had to lie to being her over....' she said tiredly while leaning into Xiao He's arms

" please pardon my intrusion but am more than curious,why did the second young miss Xiao move out?" old madam Bo asked as everyone frowned

they hated discussing this topic but Xiao Li took lead to talk

" old madam Bo you may not know but Xiao Ji isn't my brother's child but...."
