Chương 157: Chapter 156- Friend
In a luxurious room, a man was enjoying his red wine and jacuzzi, while a woman reported the recent actions of Shi Xue and Zhi Hei to him.
Man: "Hmmm? Hah let's see how well she can play this time off."
Woman: "Should I make a move?"
Man: "No, let's wait and see what she does next and then decide what to do."
Woman: "Alright. Then I'll dismiss myself for now. I'll continue observing them."
The man brushed his hand gesturing her to excuse herself. After the woman left, he sighed and drank his glass of wine, 'Shi Xue... Let's see your luck...'
After a while of relaxing, he got dressed and made a phone call.
"I'm back."
Zhi Hei: "Huh? The last time I asked you to attend my company's event, you didn't even budge one bit and said you wouldn't be back. What made you come back suddenly?"
"I'm back for some business matters. Let's find a day to reunite"
"Sure thing. Let me know when and where so I can clear up my schedule."
"Alright."
"Also, I want to introduce my girlfriend to you. You're back so sudden that you could leave anytime. Haha!"
"Oh? I wonder which lucky girl caught our Huang president's heart. I must meet her then haha. What gift does she like? I'll get her something as a greeting."
"Nah, you don't need to. Just having a dinner together is fine. I'll see you then!"
"Alright. Bye."
The man's hand clenched to a fist after he ended the call with Zhi Hei. 'Shi Xue... Shi Xue...I wonder what gift I should present you..'
He smirked and made a call to custom made a bracelet. 'This gift should do...'
-Huang Mansion-
"Who was it?" Shi Xue asked curiously after she walked out of her shower. She walked over to Zhi Hei after catching the excitement in his tone.
"A good friend of mine whom I haven't seen since years ago. His name is Cliffard." Zhi Hei smiled brightly.
"Oh? Never heard of him."
He took the towel that he had prepared for her hair and started wiping her wet hair with it. "He suddenly moved overseas years ago and never came back once to visit. This time he suddenly came back and said it is for business matters. I will introduce the two of you when we meet."
"Ohh, it's rare to see you this excited for a friend. Nice to see you like this hehe.."
He chuckled and had her sit down while he prepare the blow dryer for her. Seeing him so energetic and smiling happily, warmth spread in her heart. She smiled warmly at him as he dried her hair.
-Day of public meeting-
Shi Xue wore a white, simple dress revealing her elegance and innocence. Zhi Hei stood by her side in a suit acting like a knight protecting her from reporters. Reporters filled the room with chatters and excitement as they thought of plentiful questions in regards to Shi Xue and her personal life. After the couple's arrival, the reporters got louder than before and some tried to approach the stage to be the first to question her.
Zhi Hei quickly signaled the guards to form a human barrier so that nobody could get near them. Shi Xue took the microphone and started her speech,"Thank you all of you for coming to this meeting. Everyone who is present right now should have already heard of the recent slanders towards the Huang family and me in regards to Shi Huang Jie's misfortune. I am standing here today, to clarify the situation. The injury that Shi Huang Jie suffered from is not done by me or any of the Huang family members. In fact, I am going to expose the true faces of the Shi family today and take back what belongs to me. Please be patient and sit down as I disclose information of my whereabouts for the past year and the reason behind my disappearance. "
Reporters began to calm down and stepped back from the stage as they took out their notebooks and cameras to get the best out of the meeting. This was the first time after a whole while that the media had seen Shi Xue come out to speak up. Also, next to her is the mighty CEO Huang Zhi Hei, whom rarely showed his face in public events. There must be some great gossip and news that they can get from this meeting.
After everyone settled down, Shi Xue smiled and continued, "Ever since my father died, my uncle had been helping me with company matters. As you've all known, Shi Huang Jie is my uncle. At first, I was innocent and thought that they were family members and would help me during this difficult time. Behind all his smiles and so called support were betrayal and greed."
She pressed a button from the controlled and the screen behind her displayed a picture of the contract she signed with a transferring shares agreement underneath it.
"Everyone must be so curious what the picture in the back has to do with everything right? Well, my uncle told me this certain contract needed my signature, but underneath this contract was an agreement to transfer all my shares and inheritance to under his name if anything ever happens to me. After he tricked me into signing it, my cousin, Shi Qi wing, aunt Shi Shan Shan, and my ex- boyfriend, Ku Ze Yang planned against my life. I caught my cousin and boyfriend cheating one night when I went back to our apartment. I overheard their wicked plans to murder me. That night, I was chased down by an assassin, whom is now caught and being investigated. If my words are not convincing enough, then perhaps this following video of their confessions would be powerful enough."
She clicked the play button and the video with Shi Shan Shan and Qi Wing's confession from the engagement party night rung the ears of everyone in the room. The reporters were stunned to the point that their pens and mouths stopped. They were too shocked that there was such an chaotic evil family. They always thought Shi Huang Jie was the victim, but never knew such a huge piece of news would be exposed.
"Today, I have my lawyers present and will take back what rightfully belongs to me. Ever since this near death incident, our relationship as family had been over. Don't blame me for being ruthless when these people planned against their own blood related family. I will hereby announce that I am claiming back my inheritance and everything I was entitled to by my father. Shi Huang Jie had blackmailed me and threatened me using my father's last gift for me to scam my money. Obviously, that didn't affect me. By 3 pm today, 3 hours from now, I want the Shi's to pack their stuff and leave my house. Before they leave the house, their luggage must be triple checked to ensure that they didn't steal or take any belongings from my family. If they refuse to leave, I will personally throw them out."
"From now on, Shi Huang Jie, Qi Wing, and Shan Shan will have nothing to do with me, Shi Xue and Shi corps. As for Shi Huang Jie's injury, this was something that was probably done by one of his enemies, but not by me or the Huang's. The Huang's saved me from their wicked plans plentiful times and was only dragged into this mess because of these despicable people. I'm sure you all will have questions for me and I will gladly answer. There is a limit to one question per firm so think wisely before asking."
