章 12: The abyss
The utter silence around the mansion felt suffocating and awkward, Caixia sighed and thought, "It feels like, buy one! Get one free! Get property together with a body. Honestly it doesn't belong to me and I will feel bad to take the previous owner stuffs, who died without even knowing the truth".
Her eyelids down, staring at her pink slippers; playing with her own fingers, she was lost in her thoughts.
Wang Shiwei cleared his voice soundly to grab Caixia attention, "I don't have enough time, just make it clear about your payment status".
Caixia raised her eyes with a smirk.
Wei-Lin panicked and glanced at both sides, his eyes stopped at Caixia. "Caixia don't worry about the things, I will take care of it for you," he said, his voice haggard, eyes filled with sorrow.
Since his childhood, he always took Dai-Li as his cousin and showered his kindness without any greed, he loved her dearly and cherished her, but what happened suddenly was quite shocking, whether he felt hatred or sadness toward Dai-Li; was hard for him to understand.
Wang Shiwei cold stare didn't changed for a second, he continued to stare her with his curious eyes and was waiting for her reply, but hearing Wei-Lin; urging to pay instead of Caixia, made him annoyed.
"I will only receive payment from the person whom I have rendered my service, unconcerned party should not indulge in this matter," Shiwei said, his cold icy eyes; shivered the person in sight.
With an amusing smile on her face, she stared him, her eyes reflecting her naughty ideas going inside the small head of hers.
She stood and directly walked toward Wang Shiwei, who was sitting opposite to her.
Not a single change in his cold expression even though his eyes knew that she was going to do some misdeeds, he didn't budged and stayed where he was.
As soon as she reached him, she leaned while putting her left leg in between his legs, and her hands each on his both sides, near his shoulder, on the sofa.
It blocked his way out and he stared her calmly rather then glaring her.
Wei-Lin gasped and stood up quickly, his face turned pale as if he might faint at any moment, the shock was too much and he tried to stop her.
"Li Caixia… no, Lin Caixia! Stop with it, don't mess around and come back!" he said in a loud yet urging voice.
Caixia glanced back at him, and then stared Shiwei with her charming and amused eyes, looking directly into his eyes, she muttered, "If you don't want my company, then what do you want; my body!".
There was a dark and intimidating stare in his eyes but rather then shouting and pushing her away, he sighed.
His different behavior made Caixia uncomfortable, and she thought of stopping with her teasing tricks.
Before she could stood properly, her wrist and nape got grabbed by Wang Shiwei.
Wei-Lin panicked and rushed to get his cousin back, he was stopped by Daoming. "Why are you stopping me? Let me go, I need to help her!" Wei-Lin shouted.
Daoming sighed, "Don't you get it, your sister approached my master herself," he made a lewd face in middle of the conversation, "so she should be ready for the result".
His eyes looking upward, lost in his crazy thoughts; he drooled. Wei-Lin gasped and sweated in nervousness, the grip of Daoming was too hard for him and after struggling, he stood silently while panting.
Her forehead was touching his and their eyes were into each other.
Caixia gulped, her eyes looked down to up, his juicy red lips and catchy eyes were totally her type, and she struggled to get out of his tight grip and alluring charm.
"What are you doing?" she shouted, her left hand grabbing his, near her nape, while the other hand was putting a force by the support of sofa to keep the minimum distance.
He smirked and his eyes shined, moving a little closer to her ear, he whispered, "Keep your body for later use! What I want right now is…".
He paused and loosened his grip, "I don't need your shattered company, raise it first; up to the height that would reach my standard of buying it, and until then; give me 40 percent of your company's profit annually," he said loudly as soon as she stood properly.
Caixia was glaring him, her eyebrows were twisting and lips was pressed. "Huh! Just that! It's ok, since I will be giving all the company rights and assets to my cousin, you can just negotiate the term with him" she said and turned back.
Wang Shiwei frowned and glanced at Wei-Lin whose expression shouted that he never knew about such things.
"What do you mean, Caixia! Why would I take your shares?" Wei-Lin asked.
Caixia patted his back and said, "I don't want any property, all I want is to live properly and have fun. So Cousin, please take care of it and I am sure uncle will help too".
Being shocked and confused at the same time, he shook his head quickly, "I can't, if you want help then there is no problem, but acquiring your assets is something our family will never do. Don't make such an odd request, Caixia!".
Wang Shiwei, buttoned his coat as he stood up, he was staring Caixia with a smirk on his face and turned back to leave. "Remember, I want 40 percent of your company shares, but since you rejected it at first by trying to change the head of the company, I will ask for some extra compensation," he said and walked away.
Caixia frowned and shouted, "What with this extra compensation? I don't want to pay anymore!".
He stopped and peeked back with his dangerous smile which could kill hundreds of women in one go, and he said, "I will tell you later about the compensation".
He left after saying that much.
Caixia become petrified and stood silently with a blank stare.
Wei-Lin turned toward her with his worried yet curious gaze, "Caixia, why did you offered such a thing to me? Were you afraid of not performing well and loosing the company? If that's the case then rest assured, me and your uncle will help you with everything we have got, but don't put those kinds of words".
She smiled awkwardly and nodded while thinking, "It isn't going the way I wanted, I thought that after the Lin company will go bankrupt, I will have no responsibility toward it and can concentrate on getting my revenge, but neither it went bankrupt nor this honest cousin of mine took it… god! I am left in an abyss".
Wei-Lin patted her head, despair was hovering over his eyes but he smiled and hid it deep inside his heart.
The sharp eyes of Caixia saw through him and she grabbed his hand while smiling gently, "No need to hide your sorrow, I know that it is hard for you to forget Dai-Li, since you have played with her from your childhood. That's why I am saying, don't force yourself in front of me and hide your feelings; just be yourself".
As soon as he heard her comforting words, his head turned down and tears flowed out wetting the clean floor.
Caixia patted his shoulder while he kept looking down.
"As your older brother, it should be me to comfort you after what you saw, but look at me; I am getting comforted by you," he said while sobbing.
Caixia sighed, "After seeing my death so closely, I become strong, brother! So don't be harsh on yourself and take a little advantage of my strong nature".
He stared her with his swollen eyes, and said, "I am sorry for never realizing the truth, and I am sorry that the locket specially prepared for you by your parents was lost before you could even see it".
Caixia felt a little guilty after she heard from him and said while scratching her head, "Don't worry, the locket is with it's real owner".
With her sudden answer, he stared her surprisingly, "What do you mean by that?".
Getting deeper in her skirt pocket, she took out the real locket and showed him while staring at the other side.
"So it was true that you hid it from her!" he said.
Caixia nodded and replied, "Except that, everything I said and did was true. I took this pendant while she was asleep to check whether the thoughts burning inside my mind was true or not".
She opened the locket and showed the image. Her face looked exactly like her mother and Wei-Lin smiled sadly, "This is the first time I am seeing your mother's image".
Hearing his words, Caixia felt confused and thought, "First time! Why is it first time? What does he mean by that? Isn't my mother and father related to the Lin family, so why never he saw her?".
