SHE-DEVIL 7

It's been two weeks since Miss Xia returned from the States. She sat there in the living room with her Grandpa.

'. Xia xia!'. He called her.

'. Yes, Grandpa!'.

'. Now that you are back.....you should help Shanggue at the company'.

'. Grandpa, I just came back.

'. Xia Xia...the company is already a mess, he needs help.

'. I will think about it.

'. You need to help your brother'.

'. Grandpa, you are already old, but you still worry about the company.

'. I won't stop until you join the company.

'.[Sighs].....I will go take a look later.

'.[Smiles]....That's my Xia Xia'. He smiled at her.

Later that day, Miss Xia went to the company. She walked into the Shanggue office.

'. What are you doing here?'. He stood up as she walked in.

'. What a beautiful office!'. She smiled.

'. That hasn't answered my question'.

'. Just came to see how my elder stepbrother was fairing'. She sat down on the couch opposite his desk.

'.[Sighs]....what do you want?....money?'.

'. Do I look like your sister who spends lavishly?'.

'. Do not talk about my sister in such a manner'.

'. Okay'.

'. What are you here for anyway?'.

'. Grandpa insisted that I come here to help.

'. I don't need your help.

'. [Smiles]....you should know me...I am either helping or destroying you.

'. Xia.....do I look like someone you can threaten?'.

'. Don't get me wrong....since you won't be needing my help.....now I will be able to focus on my main task here.

'. I knew you were here for a reason '.

'. Anyway, I only came to do some checkups,

seems I don't need to be doing them. She gets up.

'. What are you going to do?'.

'. Stepbrother, all you have to do is sit and watch. She smiles and walks away.

Yuayua sat there with her mother giving her massages.

'. Where is Xia?'. She asked the guard beside her.

'. Miss Xia went out earlier.

'. With the driver?'.

'. It seems Miss Xia loves driving herself'.

'. Oh!'.

'. She just came back and is acting all suspicious already...she isn't as smart as I thought.

'. She wants to be like her mother.

'. Her mother?... Mom, why haven't you told us about the mistress?'.

'. The mistress?...why do you ask about her?'.

'. Just curious...what dad saw in her and why grandpa likes her more?'.

'. Yuayua, you want to know.

'. I need to know the story behind the Mistress and the legal wife who is also a mistress'.

'. Shut up!'.

'. Hello!'. Miss Xia walked to them.

'. You are finally back?'. Lun Weishan said.

'. Um!'.

'. Why can't you stay on your own!'. Yuayua gets up.

'. Yuayua sit down!'. Her mother said.

'. I am your elder sister don't forget that!'.

'.[scoffs]....you wish!'.

'. Yuayua I said sit down!'.

'. Mom...don't yell at me....she should know her place in this house...the car keys!'. She stretched her hands forward.

'.What do you mean?'. She snatched the keys from her.

'. You should know your place as a mistress daughter'.

'. Yuayua return the keys to her!'.

'. Yuayua...I was going to give you this car as a present.....you are as forward as your mother'. She smiles.

'.[ I say again never ever trust that smile of hers]'.

'. I will leave now. She walks away.

'.[Pants]...'. She sits down.

'. Do you know that Grandpa might punish you severely for doing that?'

'. I can't stand her!'.

'. You must learn to control yourself!'.

'. .....'.

Lei Wuije and Xiabo lay there on the bed cuddling each other.

'. I wonder how our plan is going?'. Lei Wuije asked.

'. Don't worry...I already handed everything we just need to sit and enjoy.

'. I am proud of you!'.

'. Proud?.....is that all you want to say?'.

'. I am happy to have a lovely and sweet girlfriend like you.

'. [Smiles]....we should enjoy ourselves for the main time'.

'. How is work lately?'.

'. Pretty fine!...just that I have to clean up the mess made by the staff.

'. Take it easy then!'.

'. As long as you are with me.....I will be able to achieve anything. She smiles at him.

'. Really?.....do you want to come to Daddy?'. He tickles her.

'. Stop!.....stop!'.

'. Come to daddy!!'.

At dinner time, the Ài family sat there in the dining room. The meal was a sumptuous one.

'.[Smiling].....it's been a long time since I had homemade delicacies!'. Mei Xia said as she ate first.

'.[Fakes a cough]'.

'. Seems someone forgot their manners!'. Yuayua said as Mei Xia began to eat.

'. Have you forgotten how we eat?'. Lun Weishan said.

'.[Sighs].....'. Mei Xia stops eating and stares at Grandpa.

'. [Smiles]...let's eat peacefully!'. He said and began to eat.

'. Grandpa....shouldn't Xia be punished for not following the rules?'. Yuayua said as she Pants.

'. Yuayua...Xia missed home and forgot her manners..... let it go this time.

'.[Sighs]'.

'. Get back here, Yuayua!'. Lun Weishan said as she tried to walk away.

'. I said get back here!'. Yuayua walked back and sat down.

'. Yuayua can't we forgive your elder sister once'. He smiles at her.

'.[Sighs]...okay Grandpa!'.

'. That's my girl!'.

'. Why is Shanggue not back?'. Lun Weishan said as she looked at his space.

'. Am sure he will back!'.

'. Grandpa!.....mom!'. He pegs her cheeks and sits.

'. Shanggue.....you are finally back!'. Yuayua said.

'. Um!'. He nodded happily as he ate.

'. Why do you look so happy?'. His mom asked.

'. I was able to resolve the issues the company was facing today!'. He smiled endlessly.

'. That's good!'.

'. Grandpa.....my brother is the best for the job!'.

'. Xia Xia, you did help your brother!'. He turned to her.

'. Grandpa, I didn't do anything '. She smiles.

'. Grandpa, what do you mean?'.

'. I sent Xia to the company today to help her brother!'.

'. Oh!'. You could feel the anger at that moment, more as if thousands of swords were pointed at you.

'. Let's enjoy this moment...my grandson has finally made it and my granddaughter is back. Grandpa smiled.

'.[Things might get a little bit bloody from now on]'.

Lu Si Cheng sat there in the living room. He was on his computer system.

'.[Phone rings]'. He picks up.

'. Hello!....who is this?'.

'. I prayed for a son.....not a fool'.

'. Mom?'.

'. Why do you always forget my number?!!'. She yelled over the phone.

'. Mom!... I am busy'.

'. Have you eaten?'.

'. The kitchen is as dried as a dessert'.

'. Get a girlfriend!!.....a girlfriend!!'.

'...'. He adjusts the phone from his ear as she yells.

'. Give me!'. A voice said over the phone.

'. Mom!'.

'. Grandson, it's me....grandma!'.

'. Grandma!!'.

'. How are you?'.

'. Am fine....and you?.....how is America?'.

'. It's fine.....have you eaten?...when was the last time you had a good sleep?.....'.

'. Grandma!...do not worry about me!....just take good care of yourself.

'. Thank you, son.

'. Um!'.

'. Your mom will be coming back soon, make sure to wear earphones all the time.

'.[Smiles].....is she giving you a hard time?'.

'. Not me.....the maids!'.

'. Grandma...I hope you come back soon, I miss my favorite meal'.

'. You don't worry.....grandma will be back soon.

'. Okay'.

'. Son!..... I said get a girlfriend!'.

'. Let the young boy be!'.

'. Mom!...don't worry I promise to get a girlfriend soon!'.

'. That's my son.....and be like your father, have good eyes, okay?'.

'. Did my father have good eyes?'.

'. Yes!.....if he didn't....how would he have seen me?'.

'.[Laughs]'.

'. Why are you laughing?.....do you think I am not pretty?'.

'. Mom that's not what I meant!....am sure Dad must have suffered when he was younger'.

'. You are right!.... but, I loved him very much and so did he!'.

'. Okay, mom!".

'. Have a good sleep!'.

'. Okay, mom!'.

'. What did I say?!'.

'. Have a good sleep!'.

'. And don't stress yourself much!'.

'. The first time mom cares about me.

'. Bye-bye!'. The call ended but Lu Si Cheng's smile remained.
