บท 168: Yu Yan is exposed.
Yu Yan planned to remain in the room for an appropriate amount of time as she had just been introduced and she would not be called by her mother-in-law for awhile. She fixed herself quickly and patted her face in the mirror, willing herself to wake up and not give up.
" I can do this! I have been through tougher situations than this! What the hell, Yu Yan!? You can do this!" She grinned at the mirror on the wall, pasted a fake smile on her lips and went out.
As soon as she left the room, a waiting young maid in uniform came forward.
"Miss, Master has called for you to his office." The maid bowed respectfully.
The 'Master' from the maid's mouth could only be Li Jianguo- Li Jun's step father as the residential maids and butlers would call Li Jun as 'Eldest young master' and grandpa Li as 'old master'.
She was a little worried as Li Jianguo had never called her out alone like this personally, even when she and Li jun were dating. Only mother-in-law had involved herself with the " take this amount of money and get lost" type of drama. Yu Yan wondered if she should inform Li Jun quietly. But he was so busy..
"Miss, its not good to keep the master waiting". The maid prompted.
Yu Yan figured that it would not be any trouble as there were many people around and this was a business party so even if Li Jianguo wanted to, he would not be able to do anything excessive. She had a bad feeling but what else could she say? If your in-laws called , one cannot just ignore it.
Yu Yan nodded and followed the maid. The maid led her to the west wind and knocked on the mahogany door.
" Come in." Came the gruff voice of Li Jianguo.
The maid gestured for Yu Yan to enter. Yu Yan took a deep comforting breathe and entered.
"Father-in-law, you called for me?" Yu Yan said in a soft voice. She hoped that he would pity her and not say too much.
Li Jianguo didn't even look up from his file. He merely gestured for her to take a seat across the table from him.
Yu Yan sat down timidly and waited. She waited and waited for nearly ten minutes as Li Jianguo ignored her existence and kept on looking at his papers. Yu Yan was fed up and was just about to take out her phone to text Li Jun about what was happening when she heard a deliberate cough from him.
" You are here. Okay, good. Sorry this work could not wait, I hope you don't mind."
" Its no trouble father-in-law." What else could she say?.
"Umm.. excuse me father-in-law. I wonder what you called daughter-in-law for?" Yu Yan waited for an answer.
Li Jianguo stared silently at her for a few seconds and took out a file from under his desk and past it towards Yu Yan.
Li Jianguo stood up from his seat and walk around the room giving Yu Yan lots of anxiety; The big room suddenly seemed to be so much smaller. She opened the file and immediately trembled.
Li Jianguo started speaking from near the window.
"As you can see, that's your medical report. I wonder when you were planning to let the family know?"
Yu Yan looked at the familiar medical report from the Li hospital. Her trembling hands could not bring herself to turn all the pages. That shitty doctor..
" I...I..." She sputtered'
" The old doctor also has told me that you asked him to keep it a secret from your husband. I wonder what miss Yu plans to do?" Li Jianguo sat down again opposite her, making her feel crowded.
Yu Yan closed her eyes and took two full deep breathes to calm herself. She looked at Li Jianguo.
" I did not have any plans father-in-law. I was upset myself and had plan to tell Li Jun soon."
Li Jianguo frowned at her answer.
" Regardless of what miss Yu says or not. You must know that my Li family cannot tolerate your medical condition. Li Jun is the heir and he must not be with someone who cannot give birth to the next heir. That would be a disaster. You understand?" Li Jianguo said in a calm voice.
" I understand that father-in-law. So, I planned to speak to Li Jun and come to a conclusion soon. This is also hard for me too." Yu Yan said trying not to break down and cry.
Li Jianguo stared at her again. For a few seconds no one said a word.
" Miss Yu doesn't have to go that far. I can help you, If you want." Li Jianguo gave a small smile but Yu Yan did not feel comforted.
"I can make these go away and your current lifestyle doesn't have to change. Afterall you love Li Jun and Li Jun loves you and I don't want to be the bad guy who causes lovers to separate, right?. What do you say miss Yu?" LI Jianguo folded his arms and asked with surety.
" What does father-in-law want to say?"
The " father-in-law" from her mouth annoyed and grated Li Jianguo to no end ,yet he did an excellent show of acceptance.
"Your father-in-law doesn't want anything from you. I only want you to help me borrow something from Li jun. I wager it will not be tough for you, seeing that he has moved so much of his properties in your name. He loves you so much."
" Why doesn't father-in-law ask him directly. I am sure he would not say no unless he really could'nt give it."
Li Jianguo was fed up with this taichi. In anger he slapped the desk, startling Yu Yan.
" Ofcourse he can't know that! And if you want to stay in this family you have to do what I say. Or else, you can pack your bags tonight and get the hell out of my Li family!" He was breathing hard.
Li Jianguo calmed himself down after awhile, reminding himself that this was just like any other business negotiations and not a stupid, dirty, useless commoner who was not fit to carry his shoes. He really felt like he was conversing with a dirty beggar. He had to bring her to his side.
"Look. Its not a difficult thing to do. Its a bargain for you."
He passed a USB flash drive towards her. Yu Yan just keep quiet and stared at it.
"You just need to plug this to his personal computer and intall the programme in it. It will not take 5 minutes. Return me the flash drive and its done. I will not say about your inability to give birth to him or anybody not even my wife. I will also get the doctor to keep quiet and maybe he can even give some treatments. What do you say?" Li Jianguo laughed internally.
" What's in the flash drive? and what is it you want from Li Jun's computer?" Yu Yan was calmer than she has been this whole week.
Li Jianguo gave a mocking smile.
" You dont need to know that and you won't understand anyways."
" Father-in-law is joking. I have to know what you are borrowing. What if I make a mistake and do something that's bad for Li Jun. Isn't that like putting the cart before the horse?" Yu Yan said firmly.
Li Jianguo gave her a glare. "If you must know, the flash drive will copy a specific Programme from the computer." Li Jianguo just told her as there was no point in hiding anyways.
" What Programme, father-in-law?" She continued to ask.
" 12-L-C. The12 leaves clover software." Li Jianguo laughed at the audacity but still told her. What can this beggar do to him anyways?
" Whats the 12LC programme for?" Yu yan continued to ask.
" That's more than enough for you to know, Miss Yu. Will you do what I say or not?" He was impatient now.
Yu Yan wanted to give him a snarky reply. But before she could, Li Jianguo added.
" And don't try anything smart with me. I also got a report that you have a very close younger brother by the name of Leng Liu Liu. I know that Li Jun has been taking care of him but not 24/7. If I want something to happen, no one can stop me. Do you understand me, Miss Yu?"
Yu Yan stopped her offending words immediately.
" Yes." Yu Yan pinched herself to stop herself from flying over and punching this old middle aged men, black and blue.
"So, can you do what I said or will you leave and watch your young brother get hurt?'' Li Jianguo passed the USB flash drive nearer to her , gesturing for her to pick it up.
" Okay, but I will need some time. Li Jun does not let me near his personal computer ever. I am not allowed." Yu Yan picked up the flash drive and slipped it into her small bedazzled purse.
" I figured as must. How can that boy ever trust anyone. He doesn't even trust his own mother." He scoffed. "I will give you a week."
"That's impossible.." Yu Yan stood up.
" Two weeks. That's all. I expect my flash drive back in my hands by two weeks. If you can't or if you try something funny. You can kiss your marriage and your brother goodbye. Do you understand?" Li Jianguo also stood up.
" I understand. Father-in-law." She replied with gritted teeth.
Li Jianguo smile and said soothingly.
"This is really not a big deal miss Yu. Something so small to keep your marriage intact. I personally think this is a small price to pay. Li Jun will never even know. and you young couple can live together happily forever." And Li Jun can be childless forever too. What a good bargain. This news made him so happy that he was not even upset with the stunt Li Jun pulled infront of their old and valuable business associates this evening.
