Chapter 12: You're all mine baby!
"Second young mistress, breakfast is served" The head butler said to Lijuan through the closed door.
"Alright. I'll be down in a moment." Lijuan said as she hurriedly tried to fit herself inside a gown.
It was monday morning and only a few minutes past 7. She would have preferred to still enjoy her sleep but it was the family's tradition to always eat breakfast and dinner together before they all went about their different businesses.
She took her phone with her as she went downstairs. Knowing her family, her father and sister would probably talk about business all through breakfast or Jiaying would want to raise unnecessary topics. She believed her phone would keep her busy during the long and boring breakfast.
"Do you always have to come down late?" Her father asked from where he was already seated when Lijuan joined them.
Lijuan quickly apologized and took her spot beside Jiaying, opposite Rong and their mother while Chairman Mei sat at the head of the table.
Just as she expected, her father began to discuss business with Rong. She opened her phone and logged in the site. She realised Sexy Yun had still not responded to her message and thought he was probably busy. Yanju also wasn't online so she opened the image she had sent to Sexy Yun the previous evening. She laughed out when she looked at the image again. She was probably going to gift it to the real Yun one day
"Who are you chatting with?" Jiaying asked curiously from the side as she tried to take a peek at her phone.
The other members of the family also looked at Lijuan with interest as they wondered why she was laughing.
Lijuan moved her phone from Jiaying's sight before turning to look at her again.
"You're asking me a question?" Before Jiaying could answer, Lijuan asked another question, "Are we friends?"
"You don't always have to be so rude Lijuan" Rong cut in with a glare.
"Pot calling kettle black." Lijuan said with a smirk before she continued with her food.
Mother Mei looked at Lijuan sadly. She didn't like that it was always her against the rest of them.
"Would you like to go with me to the art gallery today? Mrs Kim invited me." Mother Mei said to Lijuan.
Before Lijuan could say a word, Rong made a snide remark directed at Lijuan, "That's sweet. I'm pretty sure she would bring us a nice artwork"
"Mei Rong!" Mother Mei snapped.
Lijuan stopped chewing and carefully placed her fork down on her plate and turned to look at their father.
"Father, you mentioned you were going to punish sister Rong for not allowing me return home to change my mismatched shoes, right?"
"Lijuan.." Her mother called slowly.
Lijuan turned to look at her mother and said,
"What? I only asked a question"
Rong's hand formed a fist as she tried to not blow up at Lijuan.
"You are all so noisy." Chairman Mei said with a frown before he stood up to leave the table. He knew he was being partial but he couldn't help it.
Mother Mei sighed before standing up to follow her husband.
Rong was also ready for work so she also left the table after glaring at Lijuan.
"I only asked a question. Was that necessary?" Jiaying asked Lijuan with a frown.
"You should only question your friends. Next time, remember to mind your business."
Jiaying also stood up to leave while murmuring something under her breath.
Lijuan smiled when she saw all the leftover food on the table. A plate had ways been too small for her but she couldn't ask for more because of her father's strict dining rules. He always liked to remind them that they always had to eat right and eat moderately.
"You're all mine baby." She said excitedly to the dishes on the table before she began to dig in.
*****************
"It's almost time for the press conference Vice President Wang" Wang Yun's secretary informed him.
Yun stood in front of his wall to ceiling window. His eyes were closed and his hands were inside his pocket.
The image of 'Sexy Yun' kept haunting him. It had also haunted him throughout the night.
He was going to make her pay for it. But first, he was going to make sure no one else saw that drawing of hers. Thankfully, he had been able to hide it from Jinhai before he could see it. He had also asked for the password and changed the password so Jinhai would not be able to access the account anymore.
He took in a deep breath as he headed towards the hall where the press conference was to be held.
He was used to the scene: Many reporters, many questions, too many flashing lights and the sound of fingers rapidly hitting keyboards.
"How do you feel about being the Vice President of Wang Motors?"
"How did your stepfather react to the news?"
"Is this a stepping stone to becoming the President of the corporation?"
The questions kept coming in.
Just when he thought the whole thing was over, another female reporter asked,
"Are you dating Miss Lijuan?"
Wang Yun was taken aback by the sudden question. Lijuan? Who was Lijuan? He could not remember meeting anyone who bore that name.
"Pardon?" He asked with a confused frown.
"Miss Mei Lijuan. Second young mistress of Mei Corporation." The reporter explained when she saw the confusion clearly written on his face.
Mei? He had no idea about her position in her family but he was certain he had been seen with only one member of the family and that had to be her.
"I'll rather keep my private affairs out of public view." He said politely.
So his pen thief's name was Mei Lijuan? Funny how she was showing up everywhere yet he didn't even know her name until today.
**********
Mei Lijuan heaved a sigh of relief when he refused to answer the question. She had been watching the news with Jackie, Jiaying and her mother and had held her breath the moment she heard her name from the reporter's mouth.
Thank goodness that the prude didn't open his mouth. That would have been the end of her.
"Are we going anywhere today?" Jackie asked quietly from her side. He didn't like the fact that her name had been mentioned in that manner with Wang Yun.
"I don't think so, I'll check with my Yun and let you know." She said, smiling at Jiaying.
"Your Yun?" Jackie asked with a frown.
"Oh! You weren't around when he came over to see me yesterday." Lijuan said with a smile.
"Wasn't that because of his...."
"Hahahaha, yes. His love for me." Lijuan laughed awkwardly while pinching Jackie to shut up.
"Because of his what?" Jiaying asked Jackie curiously, making Lijuan glare at her.
How many times was she going to remind Jiaying to mind her business?
"I changed my mind Jackie, let's go out. I need to shop for new clothes. I need to look good for my next date with my Yun." Lijuan stood up from where she had been sitting and planted a kiss on her mother's cheek before heading upstairs to go change.
Mother Mei who had been quiet the entire time looked at her retreating figure with a suspicious look.
