SHE-DEVIL 16

Miss Xia was there at Mr Lu's office. She leaned towards his desk continuously opening the pages of the magazine, while Mr Lu sat there on the couch operating his phone.

'. New work came in, for the main time we will take the project slowly!'.

'. If you say so!'.

'. Since you are the president of Future Group, the top architect company, I will not intervene in the project, I trust you!'. She walks to him and sits.

'. You trust me so easily?'.

'. That's right!'.

'. [Smiles]....how is the company lately?'.

'. Pretty good even though it is stressful!'.

'. Do you need any help with the new project?'.

'. Not really!'. She slowly said.

'. Are you being serious?'.

'. Mr Lu....'. She slowly gets to him sitting close to him.

'. What is it?'.

'. Mr Lu, you don't mind accompanying me, do you?'. She asked him.

'. Miss Xia, why should I accompany you?'.

'. As a business friend!....you might even see some investors!'.

'. [Smiles]....okay!'. Lin Ba walked into the office.

'. Mr Lu! Miss Xia!'. He bowed.

'. Oh!... Lin Ba, you are here?'.

'. Oh!... Mr Lu, your Grandma just arrived!'.

'. Grandma is back?'.

'. Um!'.

'. Okay, you can go!'.

'. Okay, sir!'. He walked out.

'. Seems I should leave!'.

'. Ah! Miss Xia!'. He gets up as she gets up.

'. What's wrong?'. She turned to him.

'. Do you mind coming along to go pick up my Grandma?'.

'. [Smiles].....I have less work, so lead the way!'.

'. Thank you, Miss Xia!'. He smiled at her.

Getting to the airport, Lu Si Cheng's Grandma was picked up and taken to the family house of Lu's. They sat there in the living room.

'. Grandma, you are finally back! I missed you!!'. He hugged her continuously.

'. Cheng!...you are an adult now stop behaving like a kid!'.

'. [Smiles]'.

'. Si Cheng, who is this?'. They turned to Miss Xia who sat there staring at them.

'. Grandma, this is Miss Xia we are business partners more like friends!'.

'. How can a beauty be a friend?...come here young lady!'. She smiled at her.

'. Oh!'. She slowly walks to her and sits next to her.

'. Beauty!....what is your name?'.

'. [Smiling] I am Ài Mei Xia!'.

'. Ài Mei Xia?'.

'. Um!'. She nodded.

'. Tell me more about your family, your father, your mother!'.

'. Grandma you don't have to ask all those!'.

'. My family owns ZGDX company! I don't have a father, I live with my grandpa and my step-family!'.

'. Wow!.... I am your godmother!'. She smiled.

'. Grandma!....what are you saying?'.

'. Your Grandpa and I were schoolmates!.... I was there when you were born!'.

'. You are.....?'.

'. It's me!..... Mrs Lu Veronica!'.

'. Oh my God!'. She hugged her.

'. Grandma you know each other?.'

'. This is my goddaughter, Xia Xia!'.

'. Grandma, I missed you... Grandpa stopped talking about you, I was worried!'.

'. You have been in the US since you were 8 but you remember me so well!'.

'. I have a good brain!'.

'. I am happy that I saw you finally!'.

'. Me too!'.

'. Have a good time with my grandson, Grandma needs to rest!'. She gently tapped her shoulder.

'. Okay Grandma, have a good rest!'. She smiled as Grandma was helped to her room.

'. Didn't expect things to turn this way!'.

'. I am really happy to see her, even though she seems old now, she still has that irresistible smile and beauty!'. She giggles.

'. [Smiles]...thanks for coming!'.

'. It's okay!...coming did a good job!'. They walked out of the house.

'. Should I drop you off?'.

'. You don't have to worry!'.

'. I haven't seen your office, I would've to have a look!'.

'. Okay!'.

'. Ladies first!'. He opened the car door.

'. Thanks!'.

'. You are welcome!'.

Arriving at the company, they walked to Miss Xia's office. Mulang, Fan Yin, and Hu Chuxi were there in the office.

'. You can't stop me from loving myself!!, oh!oh!oh!oh!'. She sang in English.

'. You have been saying the same line over and over again!'.

'. Are you jealous?'.

'. Why would I be jealous of you singing?'.

'. Because you aren't an ARMY!'. She smiled.

'. Did you go to some military school?'. Mulang asked.

'. Not that type of Army!!!.... It's a Fandom name of a Korean band, BTS!!!'.

'. Ah!... I see!'.

'. Oh!oh!oh!oh!...babarabam!!'.

'. That's okay!'. He covers her mouth.

'. [Sighs]...I just became a babysitter!'. Mulang sighed.

'. I am here!'. They entered the office.

'. Miss Xia!!'.

'. Who is this?'. They stared at each other.

'. Aren't you Mr Lu?'. Fan Yin asked.

'. Um!'.

'. You are my role model!! Let's have a selfie!'.

'. Fan fan, that's okay!'.

'. Oh!'.

'. This is Mulang, my guard! Fan Yin, my childhood friend, and Hu Chuxi, my secretary!'. She introduced them.

'. Hello!'. They waved.

'. I think I have seen you!'. He pointed at Hu Chuxi.

'. She was once a worker at the company!'.

'. Oh!'.

'. I think we should leave you both!'. He pushes them out.

'. Miss Xia!!'. Hu Chuxi called.

'. Ah?'. She turned.

'. I placed the files on your desk!!'. She said as Fan Yin pulled her along.

'. Oh! [Sighs]'.

'. Are you also surrounded by such people?'. He walks around the office.

'. [Smiles].....it's really fun being around them!'.

'. I see!'.

'. Do you need anything, Mr Lu?'. She asked.

'. It's okay!'.

'. Ah!'. Miss Xia picks up the files Chuxi had sent in earlier.

'. [My Grandma knows Miss Xia!... Miss Xia left for the States at the age of 8!.....confusing isn't it?]'.

'. [A white man would be visiting?...and this is my chance to prove who I am!]'. She smiled.

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

'. Ah?'.

'. I am taking my leave now!'.

'. You aren't staying any longer?'.

'. Something came up!'.

'. Okay!..... Take care.

'. I should be saying this don't work so hard, okay?'.

'. [Smiles].....don't worry about me and take care of yourself!!'. They waved at each other and he left.

'. [Sighs]'. She walks to her seat.

'. He finally left!'. Mulang and the others walked in.

'. What's it?'.

'. Miss Xia about the new work?'.

'. Some foreigners would be visiting the Villas?.....did you check out their information?'.

'. Mr Daniel is a very wealthy man. He is a businessman and is real good and focused when it comes to business, but unfortunately, he is allergic to dirt, and can't stand a piece of dirt!'.

'. I see!'.

'. Wouldn't it be hard having him in the Villa's?'. Fan Yin asked.

'. [Sighs]...we need to use this opportunity to prove that we are the best!'.

'. So what should will do?'.

'. Fan Yin and Chuxi, you guys deal with the project, while Mulang and I would deal with the Villa!'.

'. Yes, ma!'. Fan Yin and Chuxi walked out of the office.

'. Handling two works at the same time is pretty good!'.

'. Um!... Mr Daniel is allergic to dirt?..... I think I might be supervising the Villa's myself!'.

'. A good option!'.

'. When does he arrive?'.

'. Two days from now!'.

'. You will be the one to pick him up at the airport, while I take care of things!'.

'. Yes, ma!'.

Lun Weishan sat there with her father-in-law, Mr Ài. For some reason, you could tell that she needed something but couldn't bring herself to ask for it.

'. Say it!'. Mr Ài said.

'. What should I say?'.

'. You want something, don't you?'.

'. Do I only come to you when I need something?'.

'. Absolutely yes!.....we only get to speak when it's related to the kids!'.

'. I can't believe we still can't get along after all these years!'.

'. Say it!'.

'. I want...Yuayua to join the company!'.

'. Yuayua?'.

'. Shanggue needs help!'.

'. Yuayua is still a kid!..... Xia can help Shanggue at the company!'.

'. I do not believe those two can handle such themselves!'.

'. Does that mean you have no confidence in your son and daughter, I didn't expect sure from you as a mother!'. He drank his tea.

'. You!....whatever, I just want Yuayua to be part of the company!'.

'. Yuayua still attends college, doesn't she?'.

'. She's in her final year!'.

'. Really?..... I would advise you to let these kids be, let them make their own choices!'.

'. What do you mean?'.

'. You ruined Shanggue's life and now Yuayua!.....do you have a conscience?'.

'. Insult me all you want!'.

'. [Smiles].....silly!'. He rolled his wheelchair away.

'. [You old bastard!!]'. She groaned.
