《My 18-Year-Old Wife》 Chapter 1 I need a divorce Chapter 1 I need a divorce "Mike, get that case of wine over here." "Mike, go clean the kitchen. Why are you standing there, you idiot?" A young man mmed his broom down on Mike and cursed arrogantly. After Mike was hit with a broom, he was a little angry. He said, "Aunt asked me to carry the wine over there, so wait me a few minutes." "How dare you talk to me like that? Letting you do something is just like killing you." Joe walked up to him and pped him, "A stupid live-in son-inw. You live in my family and spend my family''s money. Who gives your courage to talk to me like that?" He cursed. After getting a p and suffering such an insult, Mike threw away the case of wine he was holding and rushed towards Joe, grabbing him by the cor and shouting angrily. "Joe, you¡¯d better don¡¯t mess with me.¡± said Mike. The box of wine was all shattered in an instant. Mike, however, had no time to worry about the price of that case of wine at this point. Facing Joe''s ridicule, he didn''t want to remain silent anymore. For the past two years, everyone in the Liu Family had not treated him as their family. Even Joe Liu, who was the same generation as him, had often insulted him. And now they were in a public ce. This was a banquet hall and there were guests everywhere. But Joe hit him in the face. Joe was startled by Mike who was suddenly furious. In the past two years, Mike had always been compliant. How could he have the courage to lose his temper today? "What the hell do you want to do? Do you dare to hit me?" Joe pretended to be calm. At this moment, the other members of the Liu family all came up and med Mike, including the aunt Mike just mentioned. His father-inw and mother-inw also used him. "Is Mike crazy? Today is the old man''s birthday, he dares to hit Joe?" "Let go of Joe. What are you doing? You are shaming us." Mike''s father-inw Ben Liu stomped his feet with anger. Mike¡¯s father-inw is the youngest son of the old man and the least valued one in the Liu family. His inability and his live-in son-inw makes he be a big joke in Liu family. "Mike, Let go of Joe. He is your uncle¡¯s child.¡± Xiaohui Yu shouted, ¡°You have shamed us. Do you want my daughter to lose her facepletely here?" Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Xiaohui Yu, Mike¡¯s mother-inw, did not spoke for Mike, but scolded him in front of so many people. They think that because of Mike, a good-for-nothing live-in son-inw, their family has no status in Liu family. Actually, even if Mike wasn¡¯t their live-in son-inw, they still had no status in Liu family. Mike¡¯s father- inw was incapable and his mother-inw did nothing every day. For several years, they have no right to use the various resources of the family, and only those resources that the other elders in the family do not want to use will be given to them. However, Ben and Xiaohui didn¡¯t reflect on why they were belittled by the members of the Liu family. They just med Mike all the time and treated him badly. Even the pet dog that Xiaohui raised ate better than Mike, which showed Mike¡¯s low status in their family. "Mike Yue, you dare to beat me?" Seeing that Mike was med by everyone, Joe suddenly showed a sinister smile and looked at him contemptuously. Mike widened his eyes and looked at the group of Liu family who made him feel sad. At this moment, someone pped Mike in his face. It was his wife, Helen Liu. "Mike, you have a temper now. How dare you hit my brother, are you crazy?" Helen saw something going on and rushed over. Then she saw Mike want to beat Joe. ¡°Today is my grandpa¡¯s birthday. How could you be causing trouble at a time like this?¡± Helen didn¡¯t understand. She thought Mike was causing trouble for her family deliberately. Helen¡¯s family already had no standing in the Liu family, so she didn''t want their family to be embarrassed in public anymore. This p in the face made Mikepletely sad and also made him realize that it was time to give up on his marriage that he had so carefully maintained. He didn''t understand why Helen, who didn''t discriminate between right and wrong, humiliate him. As the eldest son of prestigious Yue family in Capital City, he hade to the Liu family for love, but he was treated like this by the woman he loved. He suddenly felt a bit pathetic. Why did he have to endure all this humiliation? Liu family was just a third-rate family in Chuzhou City. It is a small city that is no match for Capital City. The Liu family is not evenparable to any other small family in Capital City. However, Yue family is one of the top four big families in the country. As the eldest son of the Yue family, Mike Yue has the power and highest social status. When Mike Yue was in high school, he was sent to Chuzhou City by his family for training. His grandfather Zhenting Yue was known as the King of Hell, who was very strict with the family''s offspring. He was so fond of Mike Yue that he decided to let Mike¡¯s father inherit the family while he was still alive. He told Mike''s father to train Mike well and made him the next heir of the family when he grew up. So even if Mike was the eldest son of the Yue family, he didn¡¯t live a rich life since he was in high school. But no matter how big the challenges were, Mike had ovee them all. When Mike came to the Chuzhou City, his father did not give him any money. He had to work part-time, but the money he earned was not enough to feed himself. Helen often helped him. At that time, Helen was the nicest woman in the world to Mike, except for Mike''s mother. After they graduated from college, they got married. Maybe Mike and Helen were destined to meet each other. Helen''s grandmother was Mike''s grandfather''s first love, so Helen''s grandmother was the only person in the Liu family who knew Mike''s identity. She asked Mike to take care of Helen before she died. After graduation, he marries Helen and joined the Liu family. The purpose of his marriage was to help the Liu family. After all, the Yue family is one of the four big families in the country. Actually, the Liu family is not good enough for the Yue family. Mike didn''t want others to say that the Liu family let Helen marry him in order to tter him. So he didn''t tell the Liu family his identity. After the family''s test was over, Mike used the money his father gave him to set up Fengxing Group in Chuzhou City. Thispany is smallpared to the Yue family''spany, but it is thergest enterprise in Chuzhou City. Mike has been helping the Liu family through the Fengxing Group, but the Liu family didn''t know it. Mike¡¯s father had told him that his test was over, but that the real trials had only just begun when he left school. Now Mike had understood what his father meant. Now Mike was disappointed in the Liu family after his two years¡¯ life in the family. "I''m not doing it. I¡¯m gonna leave here." Mike, who was pped by Helen, waspletely angry. He vented all the grievances and humiliation he had umted in his heart for two years at this moment. He grabbed a chair next to him and mmed it to the ground. The wood chair was suddenly smashed to pieces, and the Liu family surrounding him, including Helen, backed away in terror. "Mike, you..." Helen¡¯s face was pale and looked at him incredulously. "Are all of you hard-hearted?" Mike pointed at the Liu family and cursed, "Even if you raise a dog for two years, you should have love for it, let alone I''m still Helen''s husband." "I joined your Liu family for two years. I have done all hard work. It was me who went to the hospital to take care of the sick old man. I''m also the one who repaired sewers and changed the taps for you in the middle of the night." "I treat you as family, but what do you think of me?" Mike said sadly, ¡°Am I just a machine in your eyes?" Now Mike didn''t care how many guests there were. At this moment, all his anger broke out. The Liu family, who was usually arrogant to him, was shocked by his aura at this time, and no one said anything. Ben Liu and Xiaohui Yu also looked at him in amazement, speechless. Helen cried out of anger, and looked at Mike with tears. "Mike, did our family treat you badly? You live in my family and also spend my family¡¯s money.¡± Helen said, ¡°Today is my grandpa¡¯s birthday. Why do you have to embarrass our family today?" "You get out of here, now!" Helen got angrier as she spoke, and he pointed to the door and said to Mike loudly. Mike feltpletely disappointed in her when he saw this. He looked at Helen with a sneer: "Helen Liu, for two years, I took better care of you than I did for my mother, but you are mean to me." "Okay, I''ll go now, but I need a divorce." Mike said angrily, "Tomorrow, we will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to file a divorce, and then we¡¯ll have nothing to do with each other." "Fine, remember what you said. We''re getting divorced tomorrow." Helen roared. "Bye.¡± Mike, looking determined, was about to leave. Just as he turned to leave, a thick voice full of authority sounded. "Wait." The crowd followed the sound and was startled. It was the old man who had spoken. Peter Liu, the old man of the Liu family, is still in charge of the Liu family despite his age. Everyone in the room held their breath, Mike''s father-inw and mother-inw didn''t even dare to raise their heads. Mike, who was now holding his head high, turned around and looked at Peter Liu. "Mike, how dare you cause trouble at my birthday party?" Peter Liu said. "If you dare leave here now, then that means you are be kicked out of my Liu family.¡± He continued, ¡°You''ve done nothing for the past two years. It is Liu family that has raised you. Do you think you''ll still have the face to stay in Chuzhou City in the future?" The old man looked at Mike with cold eyes. Mike also looked at him coldly and spoke coldly. "When grandmother was still alive, she told me that you are ipetent and have bad temper. She wanted me to tolerate you." Mike said, "Now it seems that not only are you incapable, but also you''re an old fool. The Liu family will be ruined by you. Tomorrow, your family will regret what you¡¯ve done to me." "It''s your birthday today, and I wish you a long life for thest time, goodbye." After saying these words, Mike calmly left the ce without looking back, under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes. Peter gasped in exasperation and pounded his cane on the floor three times. "The bastard." He cursed. Chapter 2 Lius People Are not Allowed to be Here! Chapter 2 Liu''s People Are not Allowed to be Here! In the dinning hall, Mike Yue made the whole atmosphere embarrassing. Though Liu¡¯s family doesn¡¯t have much fame or prestige in Chuzhou City, they were in cooperation with Fengxing Group, the most powerfulpany in Chuzhou, which made this family a member of the upper ss. Quite many Mr and Mrs Big attended Peter¡¯s birthday celebration today. But Mike had turned a party into a farce and made Peter a joke to everyone. It just couldn¡¯t get more embarrassing. As angry as Peter was, he manage to remain standing with the help of some people of his walking stick, then forced a smile to everyone. ¡°My apology for what just happened. Mike is a live-in son-inw of our family. For two years we have treated him well, letting him live in our family unconditionally without even having to have a job. We give him food and bed, and, as you saw today, this is how he shows his gratitude! ¡°It¡¯s my fault anyway, for having showed him too much tolerance. I¡¯m sincerely sorry for his stupidity, let¡¯s just continue with our party, and don¡¯t let our joyful be ruined by this stupid boy.¡± Given Liu¡¯s family¡¯s rtionship with Fengxing Group, people all startedforting Peter. ¡°It¡¯s alright, Peter, that bastard¡¯s just a parasite, you¡¯ve done more than enough for him.¡± ¡°None of our mood was ruined, Peter! It¡¯s your birthday, that¡¯s the point!¡± ¡°I heard that your family just made another deal with Fengxing group and is about to sign a contract, congrattions!¡± All the tters knocked the anger out of Peter quickly, he startedughing as if nothing happened. If it weren¡¯t for the cooperation they established with Fengxing Group, there would never be a chance for Liu¡¯s family to thrive and joined the club of the celebrities of Chuzhou and be influential within two years. Story had it that Fengxing Group, the most powerfulpany of Chuzhou, was just a subordinate company of Yue¡¯s family, one of the four biggest families in Chuzhou. It was not confirmed yet but quite many people believed so. The road lies ahead of Liu¡¯s family was super promising. Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. ¡°Thank you, thank you all! I have to say that it¡¯s also an honour for us to grab the chance of working with them, also, thanks to my family¡¯s luck! ¡°We¡¯ll sign the contract of the new project we¡¯re working on tomorrow, and we¡¯ll never forget what you guys have done to help my family. If there¡¯s any help you need, you can alwayse to me, my family!¡± He seized the chance to advertised Liu¡¯s family, even thought it was his birthday party. After they settled down the farce, Peter called everyone of Liu¡¯s family to the backstage, staring at Helen¡¯s family grimly. At that moment, Helen¡¯s family was the aim of everyone¡¯s me. ¡°Mike was way out of line, grandpa, there are so many CEOs and presidents and bosses out there!¡± Said Joe, trying to add fuel to the fire and continued,¡±Have you tried teaching that lunatic how to behave himself, Helen? You saw how he scolded all of us, right? It was horrible!¡± The disgrace drove Helen¡¯s family into the greatest embarrassment, Helen was still in shock of what Mike did, which left her in tears. ¡°Sorry...I will divorce him tomorrow. He was...totally out of line.¡± Said Helen as she bowed and apologize. Sympathizing with Helen, Xiaohui bowed and apologized as well:¡±I¡¯m really sorry, we should never have agreed Helen¡¯s marriage with this scum. I still don¡¯t know why mom was so obstinate about this marriage...Dad, Helen would never want such thing to happen as well, don¡¯t be hard on her.¡± Ben didn¡¯t even dare say a word under the pressure of Peter. Peter let out a long sigh, after which she said to Helen:¡±Well, it was not your fault anyway, it was all because of Mike himself. It would only be a waste of money keeping him in our family. There¡¯s no need to be sorry about this, Helen, just go divorce him tomorrow. And you¡¯ve never slept with him if I¡¯m not mistaken, there are still so many good men out there for you to choose.¡± It was a great relief to them that Peter¡¯s didn¡¯t throw a tantrum at them. But it was actually because that Helen was the only one in Liu¡¯s family that was capable of coping with Fengxing Group, and even Peter himself wouldn¡¯t even be allowed to enter Fengxing¡¯s headquarter. Thus Peter dare not me Helen too hard, since only she could keep their rtionship with Fengixng Group safe and sound. Mike headed straight to Fengxing Group after he left the dinning hall. As thendmark of Chuzhou City, the Fengxing Group¡¯s headquarter was located in the most luxurious shopping district. The three imposing skyscrapers stood in the heart of the city, dwarfing all the other companies including those located in other nearby cities. ¡°You don¡¯t seem well, what happened, Mike?¡± Mark Duan, the president, well, actually not the real one, of Fengxing group was worried seeing Mike trying to get himself drunk with a bottle of white wine. ¡°I¡¯m divorcing Helen tomorrow...no, I¡¯ll be divorced. That¡¯s the end, I¡¯m no longer her husband, and there goes any connection between me and Liu¡¯s family.¡± Said Mike as he smiled bitterly. It was love that made him make the decision of marrying Helen. Mike thought he was the happiest man in the world the day his senior-high dreame true marrying Helen. His grudge against Tianxiong, his father, leaving him alone in Chuzhou turned to gratitude because otherwise he wouldn¡¯t have met Helen. But everything changed after the marriage, he wasn¡¯t sure if it was all because of the whole Liu¡¯s family or just Helen¡¯s parents. Helen was so mean to him that they didn¡¯t even sleep together for even just once during the two years, which made Mike feel like Helen never treated him as a husband. All the fantasy of happiness were shattered. Mike so regretted having waste two years of his life living in shame and disgrace. ¡°Liu¡¯s family again!¡± Said Mark, frowned. He was one of Mike¡¯s best friend and was clear about what happened to Mike in the two years of his life in Liu¡¯s family. He continued:¡±I told you, bro, that would never treat you like a human. I¡¯m just d you¡¯re finally out of there now. Your parents would wipe those bastards all out if they know what happened to you! Damn it, I¡¯m gonna do it right now!¡± Mark anger kept escting, looking serious about revenging for Mike. ¡°Don¡¯t need to,¡± Said Mike, expressionlessly as he waved his hand to Mark,¡±The cooperation between Fengxing Group and Liu¡¯s family ends, start from today.¡± Then he stopped a while and added:¡±Xingrupany, that Helen¡¯s one, the cooperation remain until the current project we¡¯re working together is done. This is thest thing I¡¯ll do for her.¡± Mark seemed confused:¡±After she treated you like that? Why?¡± Mike shook his head, bordering upon sobbing:¡±I¡¯m not one of that kind of people. I promised to take good care of her grandma, which would end tomorrow after the divorce, then we¡¯ll be on each others¡¯ way and never meet again.¡± Mark answered Mike¡¯s persistence with silence, then he took a bottle of wine that worth over ten thousand bucks and filled Mike¡¯s cup up. ¡°Take this one, that white shit would kill you. This may be the best ending. Think about it: You¡¯re the eldest son of Yue¡¯s family, this is a hell-of-a honour to those Liu¡¯s bastard! You¡¯ve helped them for tow years and it¡¯s time to put a stop to it. You¡¯re a goddamn dragon, Mike! And tomorrow they¡¯re gonna see who you really is and bow before your power.¡± Then Mark made a call and asked Verse in. She¡¯s a daughter of another family of upper ss in Capital City, also the secretary of Fengxing¡¯s Group. Every family, even small ones, is quite well-known there. To Verse, there had never been a shortage of boys who try to pursue her, but she came to Chuzhou after hearing Mike was here, and had been here for two years. ¡°Verse, you...¡± Mark whispered at Verse¡¯s ear, asking her to try to console Mike. And nothing could exhrate her more than knowing that Mike was about to get a divorce. High heels all set, Verse walked into the office after Mark left, leaning on Mike shoulder as she put her snow-white legs right in front of him. Well, we all know what she meant. And she had been waiting for it for two years. ¡°Don¡¯t be sad, Mike, Helen would never deserve your kindness and love. Forget about her, Mike, whatever you find appealing on her, you¡¯ll find them more appealing on me. I beat her to everything, see? My body, my beauty, and I treasure you!¡± The Aphrodite of the silver-spoons of Capital City was huddling on Mike like a kitty. But Mike was in no mood of flirting. ¡°Get off me.¡± That came the imposing figure of Mike, which he had been hiding for two years, and it terrified Verse immediately. ¡°Mike...what is it in Helen that attracts you so much? Why do you nevery your eyes on me?¡± Tears almost ran out of her eyes, Verse stared into Mike¡¯s eyes. ¡°I¡¯m...I¡¯m just too tired, gotta take a break.¡± Sighed Mike,ter he said to Verse:¡±Tell the others that no Liu¡¯s people should be allowed to enter Fengxing Group¡¯s headquarter, not even Peter. Let the make a fuss if they find it uneptable. Especially Joe...¡± Mike get pissed right after Joe¡¯s face came into his mind. ¡°He¡¯s gonna get his ass kicked if he dares show up!¡± Chapter 3 The Divorce Chapter 3 The Divorce At the entrance of civil affairs bureau, Mike Yue and Helen Liu had finished their divorce. From that moment on, they¡¯re are no longer a couple, and more of enemies than even just strangers. Eyes turned red, Helen¡¯s voice sounded grim as she stared at Mike, who she had never even slept with, spitefully:¡±Didn¡¯t know you have such audacity to really get a divorce. Well, I would like to see how things would go for you after you leave our family. You were just a parasite for these two years, living in our home doing nothing. You would¡¯ve starve to death on the street if it weren¡¯t for us!¡± She continued:¡±You¡¯re a man! What¡¯s the point of you doing theundry and cleaning in our home like a dog? Such a disgrace to me! This is the end, we¡¯ll be on our way, and it¡¯s just better for me to live without you!¡± Mike drowned into the ocean of disappointment as he looked at Helen, the one he used to love wholeheartedly even though he had never evenid his hand on her. It was thest straw on his back that Helen didn¡¯t even show slightest guilt of what happenedst night. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I¡¯ve figured it out. You Liu¡¯s people are all the same, Helen, regarding what other people do for you as nothing while trying your best hurting them. You people wouldn¡¯t end up like this if grandma, may her rest in peace, didn¡¯t pass away so soon. Such a shame on Peter that he cultured you like this. You people should thank grandma that your family is still in upper ss of Haidong City, for she was the only reason that I keep you people alive!¡± Mike held his anger back and continued:¡±No one in this world owe you Liu¡¯s people anything, and I, Mike Yue, don¡¯t owe you anything as well!¡± Liu¡¯s families nearly ended up begging on the street in if weren¡¯t for Mike helping them behind the curtains during the six months after Liu¡¯s grandma passed away. He never mentioned it to Helen, for he had promised grandma to do so. He never asked for credit, and there was no need to. He had done everything he could to help them. But Helen sneered hearing what he said:¡±Keep us alive? What, are you still drowsy for getting up to early?¡± Then she took some cash out of her pocket and threw them onto Mike¡¯s face, like the old days. First time in his life, Mike, a man who had never money as a serious matter, was treated like that. Helen shattered all the fantasy and dreams he had in all those years. Mike was shocked at first, then he burst into hystericalughter, in which were his disappointment and grief. But still, Helen found it hrious and shaming. Mike picked the money, put them in his pocket, turned to Helen and said, nearly sobbing:¡±I¡¯ll keep them, as a warning. I traded all my love and passion, this money and all the disgrace, are what I get in return. Remember this, Helen: No one would ever love you like I do, no one would ever take care of you the way I did to you!¡± He stopped for a while and bid his farewell:¡±I wish you all well.¡± Then he turned around and walked away. Looking at the back of Mike where loneliness abounded, Helen felt her heart twitched slightly, as if something in it was gone with Mike as well. Meanwhile, in the headquarter of Hongsheng Group, the Liu¡¯spany. Peter called everyone to the meeting room, given it was a special day. Hongsheng Group and Fengxing Group were working on a major project, which Fengxing cover the whole budget and Hongsheng was basically running it for free. If the project works out, Hongsheng would be the second most influentialpany in Chuzhou, right after Fengxing. Peter¡¯s voice was nearly trembling:¡±This is the day! We¡¯re going to sing the contract of the project with Fengxing¡¯s president Mark Duan, and we¡¯ll see to it if we can be the most influential family in Chuzhou today!¡± Everyone if Liu¡¯s family was ted as well, they nearly stayed up all night because of excitement. ¡°I thought about it and decided to let Helene go sign the contract with Mark.¡± Then he to turned Peter and said sternly:¡±But given the significance of it, Joe would go with Helene to make sure nothing goes wrong.¡± Joe¡¯s father, Chenfeng Liu, was Peter¡¯s eldest son, his influence came the second ce in Liu¡¯s family. Chenfeng and his families were well respected by others in the Liu¡¯s. Peter¡¯s mind was clear to Chenfeng: He wanted Joe to get in touch with Mark. Joe was quite competent and he¡¯s also adept in socializing, Peter wanted him to take over the task Helen was on so that they can further consolidate their cooperation with Fengxing¡¯s group. Helen was just a woman after all. ¡°Joe, Joe! Gratitude! Your grandpa is asking you to get in touch with Mark!¡± Chenfeng hinted Joe furtively. It enlightened Joe, after which he fell into great joy and nodded his head:¡±Yes, thank you, grandpa! Consider it done! I will definitelye back with that contract!¡± Smilingly, Peter nodded. He had always trusted Chenfeng¡¯s family, and they hardly failed to meet his requirement as well. ¡°Ben, where¡¯s Helen? So she¡¯s toopetent to be here in such a minor meeting?¡± Lisa said to Ben, Helen¡¯s father, sarcastically. Sitting at thest row of the meeting room, Ben replied with his head down embarrassedly,:¡±She went to divorce with that sucmbag Mike, she¡¯ll be back soon. Don¡¯t worry, she won¡¯t bete on such an important day.¡± His heart was filled with grievance. He was the youngest son of Liu¡¯s family, and having only just a daughter further worsened his position in Liu¡¯s family. Even Lisa was more respected than him. ¡°Anyway, Joe, go wait for Helen at the entrance, head to the Fengxing group and meet Mark as soon as shees back.¡±Said Peter, ignoring Ben. On the way to Fengxing group, Helen, sitting next to Joe who was driving, suddenly got a bit nervous about the project they were about to sign. Given the significance of the project and how much money they may make out of it, there¡¯s now way that Helen could manage to stay calm. Fengxing¡¯s putting their family in full charge and covering the whole budget had induced rumors in Chuzhou that they have special connection to Fengxing Group, even to Yue¡¯s family. Otherwise, why would there be so many people in Peter¡¯s birthday party? ¡°Come on, this is not your first time signing a contract with them. I pretty envy you, to be honest, that their president, that Mark, helped you that much.¡± Said Joe, a bit sneeringly. ¡°He¡¯s just...kind, I think.¡±Said Helen as she puckered her lips,¡±Our family¡¯s business would definitely be promoted to a higher level with their help.¡± It didn¡¯t take them long to get to Fengxing¡¯s headquarter. Tidying up their dresses for a short while, they took a deep breath and got off the car, walking up the stairs like two ministers who were about to present themself before a monarch. As Helen was visioning them finishing the contract without any problems and bing the most influential family of Chuzhou, they were stopped by the security guards at the gate. ¡°Greetings, I¡¯m Helen Liu, we¡¯re both the Liu¡¯s, and we¡¯re here to sign a contract with president Duan.¡±As surprised as Helen was, she gathered herself up and exined to the guard. But she didn¡¯t notice the change in the guards uniform, the badge said that he was a captain instead of just any guards. ¡°The Liu¡¯s?¡± The captain sneered,¡±Sorry, we have orders from Miss Han and president Duan that no Liu¡¯s people are allowed to entered this headquarter, including you, Helen.¡± Helen was shocked, and Joe exined hurriedly:¡±Sir, I think there¡¯s misunderstanding. Helen is a good friend of president Duan, they even had diner together a couple of times, would you tell him that we¡¯ve arrived?¡± Taking a look at Joe, the captain asked:¡±You¡¯re one of Liu¡¯s, huh? What¡¯s your name?¡± Joe showed him a courteous smile and gave him his business card:¡±I¡¯m Joe Liu, grandson of Peter Liu and son of Chengfeng Liu, the eldest brother of the younger generation of the Liu¡¯s.¡± The captain took a nce at the business card then shifted his sight back on Joe. After a short chuckle, he took out the walkie-talkie and said to every security guards:¡±Attention, everyone get your ass here at the entrance, Joe is here!¡± That confused Joe pretty much, for he found there¡¯s no need to put on a scene like that since it was not Peter that was there ready to sign the contract. Chapter 4 Joe was Beaten Chapter 4 Joe was Beaten At the entrance of Fengxing Group, it look like there was Jackie Chan¡¯s movie being made. Joe Liu had no choices but fought back under the attacks of a bunch of well-trained security guards, eventually there was nothing he could but screaming in pain. ¡°What the heck are you doing! We¡¯re here for the contract! Is this how you Fengxing Group treat your business partner?¡± But it changed nothing, the beating continued. Begging didn¡¯t work, the Joe began cursing out the filthiest words he knew in his whole life. Helen was sacred by then scene. She tried to stop them but it didn¡¯t took her long toe to the thought that it was impossible for her, a woman alone, to stop the fight, let alone she was already scared off by the captain, even though the guards would not do the same thing to her. ¡°Where the hell does that stupid audacitye from? Partners? Who do you think your Liu¡¯s people are if it weren¡¯t for the help of our president for these two years? You just happened to be on the list of ¡®beggars¡¯ that we Fengxing group would help, but not anymore now.¡± The captain continued:¡±You got me now, coward? You¡¯re beggars!¡± The order from Mark was clear: Shame the Liu¡¯s the best they can. Being the younger brother of Mike, Mark would definitely avenge for him after Mike¡¯s being treated like a ve for two years. ¡°Stop it! He may be killed! I¡¯m Helen, Helen Liu! You know that your president and I are in a good rtionship!¡± Cried out Helen, yelling at the guards. ¡°Shut it!¡± Shouted the captain, pointing at Helen which made her took a few steps back in fear,¡±Don¡¯t you pull that shit now, you¡¯re Helen, yeah, so what? You¡¯re are not allowed to enter, that¡¯s it!¡± The captain sounded quite pissed:¡±Here¡¯s a news for you and your stupid grandpa: From this day on, all the cooperation between yourpany and Fengxing group is aborted! You can just wait until the day you all starve to death, because that¡¯s where you¡¯ll be eventually!¡± Great shock hit Helen. ¡°Abort...abort cooperation...¡± It meant that Liu¡¯s family had lost all the help they could possibly get. They are nothing without Fengxing Group¡¯s help, for the resources provided by Fengxing would be gone and Liu¡¯s people would have to be entirely on their own. And they couldn¡¯t me it on anyone: They had never tried to use the resources from Fengxing to enhance their ownpany¡¯s capability or to make developments just in case one day they would have to go on their own way, the only thing they had been doing was to siphoning off money from the resources. They are just like the boiling-frog that dies when the temperature rises. As pissed as those security guards are, they wouldn¡¯t kill Joe anyway. But to Joe, it maybe better for him to just die. The captain dropped some cash that worth thousands on the ground and smiled:¡±There you go, that should cover the medicine you need. Now get lost, and never return if you don¡¯t want the same thing to happen again.¡± Covered in bloodstain and bruises all over his face, Joe was trembling in tears. Given how Liu¡¯s family was held in high regards in Chuzhou City with the help of Fengxing Group and how he himself was held in high regards because of that, he had literally be the most influential person that was sure to seed Peter¡¯s legacy in Liu¡¯s family. And he never saw iting that he would get his ass kicked so hard like that. ¡°Are you alright, Joe? I¡¯ll get you an ambnce!¡± Though Helen was in fear as well, she ran near Joe and helped him up. He looked quite scary since there was blood all over him. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Helen, what...what is all this about? I thought you are Mark¡¯s friend!¡± Cried out Joe as he grabbed Helen by her hands,¡±Damn this bastard, how could anyone do such things? I didn¡¯t do anything wrong! I should¡¯ve just stayed at home...¡± Helen was also crying, for it was just uneptable. ¡°I...I don¡¯t know, no idea either...And Mark wants to abort the cooperation, what should we do, Joe?!¡± Regardless of the pain, Joe took a deep breath and cursed:¡±How the hell am I supposed to know! Get me to hospital and call grandpa and everyone! Damn, this is really the end of our family...¡± After the operation, Joe was resting in the hospital. The ward was full of Liu¡¯s people, even Peter himself, after hearing what happened. Pa! Rose Zhong, Joe¡¯s mother, pped Helen on her face quite hard and scorned:¡±Damn you little girl, this was all because of you, isn¡¯t it! You¡¯re afraid that Joe might take your position in our family them he would be the one to be Mark¡¯s friend instead of you! I knew it! ¡± Rage had driven Rose nearly reckless:¡±And now I know why Mark was so partial to you that he didn¡¯t eveny eyes on anyone else, you¡¯re having a affair with him! That¡¯s why you¡¯ve never slept with that useless Mike! I¡¯m telling you: If anything happen to Joe, you will be doomed as well!¡± To Rose, it was Helen that should take full responsibility for what happened to Joe. And Joe¡¯s condition made her mad as hell. No one can endure such a shame, not to mention that Helen was a girl. But she and her families had always been treated like that, things would only get worse if they dare talk back to bossy Rose, mother of Joe and wif of Chengfeng. She could only keep crying and trying to exin that it was none of her business. ¡°Rose! We haven¡¯t even figured out what really happened! This is way out of line!¡± Shouted Xiaohui, no mother could tolerate their daughters being shamed that way. She turned to Ben and eximed:¡±Say something! This is your daughter, you douche!¡± But her anger just escted seeing Ben keeping his head down in silence. Ben would never dare having a fight with Rose, he grabbed Xiaohui by her hands and whispered:¡±You see what happened to Joe, of course Rose would be like that. Just, don¡¯t make this mess even worse.¡± She suddenly grabbed Ben by his clothes and started beating him on the chest:¡±You good-for-nothing! You¡¯re nothing better than that Mike! How dare you to call yourself a father, it¡¯s your daughter there being shamed!¡± Peter hit the ground with his walking stick and eximed:¡±Enough! We¡¯re in hospital, save it until you get home!¡± Then came the silence, for Peter was thew in Liu¡¯s family. Peter turned to Joe and asked:¡±Tell me, Joe, what really happened there today?¡± There were wounds all over Joe¡¯s body, but luckily he was still conscious, and he chose to tell the truth instead of throwing Helen under the bus:¡±No idea, but it¡¯s really not Helen¡¯s fault. They...they just began beating me and condemning our family out of no reason, and they didn¡¯t even listen to Helen.¡± And his voice started trembling:¡±And they said...they will abort the cooperation we have with them!¡± It was a bomb that knocked everyone in the room shocked. Everyone stood still, and Peter¡¯s walking stick fell on the ground. Chapter 5 Lius Family was in Danger Chapter 5 Liu''s Family was in Danger ¡°No...no way! They would never do it!¡± Said Peter, thunderstruck as he picked up his walking stick from the ground. Not just him, everyone of the Liu¡¯s didn¡¯t want to believe it. If it was true, it would be starting from the very beginning again to everyone in Liu¡¯s family, but could they really achieve anything without the help of Fengxing Group? ¡°It¡¯s...true, grandpa.¡± Said Helen, after calming herself down after the shame,¡±They didn¡¯t even allowed me to enter the building, I tried calling Mark, but he had put me on cklist. Their security guards told us that there would be no cooperation between us and them anymore.¡± Peter almost lost his footing hearing what Helen said. Chengfeng immediately got near him and helped him from falling:¡±Easy, dad, don¡¯t be too worried. There¡¯s got to be misunderstandings, otherwise they wouldn¡¯t just do it this way. They just confirmed couple of days ago that we would sign the contract, something may happened in these days that led to this. We can get the contract back if we exin that we¡¯ve done nothing wrong to Mark.¡± Clever was Chengfeng indeed that he came to the conclusion so precisely. ¡°Yes, that must be it! Just don¡¯t worry, dad, we¡¯ve been working with them for two years anyway, they won¡¯t cancel it that easy.¡± ¡°Yeah, we¡¯re one of the top families in Chuzhou now, well they did help us before but we¡¯ve also grown. They won¡¯t just abort cooperation like that, they have to think over the pros and cons.¡± The others continued, trying to console Peter. Helen nearlyughed out hearing those ridiculous thoughts. It was more of stupidity then audacity that other people showed, Fengxing made them, therefore Fengxing could also destroy them. Would a elephant care about how many ants it kills in each step it takes? It wouldn¡¯t change anything even if the Liu¡¯s was already the most influential family in Chuzhou, for Fenxing was ranked the first ce among all the cities around, and it had special connection to Yue¡¯s family, on of the top four families of their country. There were even sayings that Fengxing actually belonged to Yue¡¯s family. Inparison with the Yue¡¯s, the Liu¡¯s people were menial. Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°That¡¯s...yes, that could be it! Great idea, Chengfeng!¡± Patting on Chengfeng¡¯s shoulder, Peter sounded ted again. But Rose was not ted at all. As much as she loved her son, the others just didn¡¯t seem like it. People were just talking about how to get the cooperation back, none cared about Joe. ¡°Wait, you guys! What about Joe? Is that it? Nothing should do about it?¡± Eximed Rose, which broke the joyful atmosphere and brought silence down onto everyone again. Peter raised his eyes and stared at Rose after herint, which sent shivers down her spine. Chengfeng walked near Rose and gave her a quick and hard p:¡±Cut the crap! What do you want then, a revenge for your son? Don¡¯t you have any ideas where it would lead to?¡± Being pped by her own husband was surely shameful, but she would not dare challenge Peter, so she just left the ward. But that did ted Helen, even though it wasn¡¯t her that pped rose. If there¡¯s anyone who could talk some sense into Rose other than Peter, it would be Chengfeng, her husband. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for this, Joe, but you have to live with it, it¡¯s for the good of the whole family.¡±Said Peter, as he got to Joe¡¯s side.¡± ¡°Sure I will, grandpa, I always put the bigger picture on the priorities. As long as we could resume the cooperation, these bruises and wounds would worth it.¡± That was Joe, he always knew what role he should y given the situation. His look of amb that volunteers to sacrifice himself for everyone gained him people¡¯s trust again. ¡°How considerate you are? And someone among us only cares about the interest of her ownpany, and we¡¯re just ignored!¡± Said Lisa, with spite as usual. There¡¯s no need to beat around the bush, everyone had alreadyid eyes on Helen again. Helen was the only one who ran the bushiness with Fengxing Group, devising projects and signing contracts. Of all thepanies of Liu¡¯s family, Helen¡¯s always got the most resources from all the contracts she signed. Everyone was doubting that Helen took advantage of the personal rtionship she had with Mark to take extra resources, because Mark even send people to herpany to give her what she asked for. Helen could only kept her head down, puckered her lips and stayed silence, since none would listen to her. What she had in mind was the interest of the whole family every time she had meeting with Mark, and Mark, strange as it may seem, was generous that he granted anything Helen asked for without any doubts, which Helen never figured out why. ¡°Anyway, let¡¯s all take a look back on these days and see if there¡¯s anything that may lead to misunderstandings so that we can settle it with Mark. And I¡¯ll go with all of you, we¡¯ll have to apologize even if we¡¯ve done nothing wrong, for the sake of everyone¡¯s good.¡±Said Peter, after a long contemtion. And everyone started reminiscing to see what went wrong, including Helen. But none came to any conclusion. ¡°You people should thank grandma that your family is still in upper ss of Haidong City, for she was the only reason that I keep you people alive!¡± Suddenly, Helen thought back on the day she divorced Mike, and Mike¡¯s word which she didn¡¯t take seriously because she thought it was just a anger-talking. Helen found it weird that Fengxing decided to abort the cooperation right after she divorced Mike in the morning. ¡°But, how is it possible? He¡¯s just a parasite in our home...he...¡± Helen started sweating, totally unwilling to think of the possibility. It was just impossible to her that Mike would have the power to manipte Fengxing like that given what she knew about him. Meanwhile, what happened yesterday on the birthday party hit Peter¡¯s mind. It there were any big events, that would be the only thing. Mike! ¡°No! It can¡¯t be him!¡± Peter shouted in shock, frowned. People all gathered up and asked what Peter meant. Peter barley opened his mouth in formidable astonishment:¡±Could it be...Mike?¡± Chapter 6 Verse Hans showed her love Chapter 6 Verse Han''s showed her love The highest building of Fengxing Group has thirty-six floors, and Mark Duan¡¯s office was on the 35th floor. Bosses are always on the tops, after all. But nobody knows what is in the 36th floor, since there were orders from Mark that no one is allowed to enter but Mark himself and Verse. It was Mike¡¯s office there on the 36th floor, the ce where Mike rests himself in his leisure time, and none dare interrupt him. Well, nobody knew that the one who¡¯s actually running Fengxing Group was Mike, Mike only had 40% of the total share of the group, of which 30% was given by Mike. Therefore, Mark had been doing his best to help Mike run the group, since they made the most contribution in the development of Fengxing. Mark¡¯s story of being the youngest meanwhile the mostpetent entrepreneur had been spreading in the cities around for a long time. ¡°You¡¯re a damn prophet, Mike! You said Joe woulde with Helen and he did show up yesterday! Just as you wish, I asked the guards to beat him hard as hell, what a pity you wasn¡¯t there watching!¡± Said Mark, excited. Verse dressed herself in a white shirt and a short ck skirt, which exposed her charming long legs, sexy as hell. With a te of fruit in her hand, she slowly feed the fruit to Mike piece by piece. Mike put down the Romance of the Three Kingdoms which he had finished reading a few times and said:¡±I¡¯ve been around them for two years, and I know them well. Peter would never let go of such a chance that Joe could get in touch with me given how important this project is. They could¡¯ve winded up in a worse situation if it weren¡¯t for Helen keeping up the cooperation.¡± Jealousy crawled up Verse¡¯s face as she sensed the softness in Mike¡¯s voice when he mentioned Helen:¡±You¡¯re still worrying aobut Helen and her families? I would just leave them dying in the ditch if I were treated like that.¡± Mike stood up and walked to the window, sighed as he look to the view of Chuzhou City:¡±Not everyone...not my parents-inw, they would¡¯ve ended up like Joe, but they¡¯re Helen¡¯s parents anyway. Well, I¡¯m worrying about Helen, she¡¯s innocent, never even talked back when she was bullied in the Liu¡¯s, nor dose she know anything about how cruel this world could be, let alone her stupid parents.¡± Verse frowned harder. She lifted her eyes, looked to the back of Mike and said:¡±But the way she treated you! I¡¯m no less worried than your parents were when you were still there in their home. She never showed you love, why are you still insisting on this?¡± The smile on Mike was gone. ¡°Yeah...Why am I?¡±Sighed Mike,¡±This is thest time, then we¡¯ll never meet again. We¡¯re no longer a couple, but we were, and I¡¯ll help her onest time for the sake of this. The cooperation with the Liu¡¯s were all aborted but the one with her ownpany, it would make her the only hope of Liu¡¯s family, and I wish those bastards would at least show her some respect.¡± ¡°What lies ahead....would be none of my business.¡± Verse didn¡¯t bother saying anything else, she knew how much Mike treasured a rtionship. ¡°So...may I sooth the wound in your heart?¡± Verse walked near him and hugged him from the back, feeling the warmth of him on her arms. ¡°You know how long I have loved you...I could give you anything you didn¡¯t get from that cold-hearted Helen, emotional and....physical.¡± No wonder Verse had so many silver-spoons bowed before her grace, she seemed to be a born subus that no man could resist her temptation. ¡°Don¡¯t.¡± Said Mike, frowned and stood still. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Are your heart made of stone?¡± Verse was nearly sobbing,¡±Why are you still turning me down? Sometimes I¡¯m not even sure if you¡¯re a man!¡± Mike sneered hearing what she said:¡±So I should just move on? Turn around and hop in another rtionship? Is that the kind of man you want? Aren¡¯t you even worried that I may do the same thing to you after this?¡± Walking to the front of Mike, Verse looked into his eyes and said:¡±I¡¯m confident. You will fall in love with me, as long as you take the step!¡± Mike shook his head and replied, expressionless:¡±Don¡¯t bother, I¡¯m just not in the mood, need to get this mess with the Liu¡¯s done as soon as possible, then head back to Capital City to see my parents, been too longst time visited them.¡± It upset Verse, but it didn¡¯t knock her faith away, since it was also reassuring knowing that Mike was so faithful to a rtionship. He was just hurt too deep by Helen which made him reluctant to embrace love again. ¡°Helen...damn this woman...¡± Verse¡¯s spite of Helen escted. Mike checked the time then said to Verse:¡±Well, you¡¯d better go now, Peter should be here with his families pretty soon. I want you to help Mark handle with them, his time shouldn¡¯t be wasted on these good-for-nothing. And remember:Nobody of the Liu¡¯s is allowed to enter this building!¡± Just as Mike said, Peter went to the Fengixng Group with all his families to apologize to Mark. But what¡¯s there to apologize for? No one knew, they only knew that it was necessary to do so. As long as they can settle down whatever went wrong between them and gain the cooperation back, they might even be willing to kneel down. Peter¡¯s thought was that it was because of the divorce of Helen and Mike that led to where they were. But no one epted the idea, not even Helen and Peter himself. How could a live-in son-inw, more of a parasite in the Liu¡¯s eyes, have the power and prestige to control the decision-making of Fengxing Group? Bullshit! Peter brought Joe, who was supposed to be resting in the hospital, with them to show their sincerity and to nt guilt in Mark¡¯s heart, since Joe got his ass kicked quite hard out of no reason, maybe Mark would agree to restore their rtionship for this. With confidence, they got to the entrance of the headquarter of Fengxing Group. Well, then...they were all stopped there by the security guards that dashed out of the building seeing the Liu¡¯s peopleing. ¡°What? Don¡¯t you have any idea where you guys are? You want to start a riot or what?¡± It was the same captain of the security guards scorning at Peter with a rubber baton in his hand. Chapter 7 Shame on Lius Family Chapter 7 Shame on Liu''s Family As the head of Liu¡¯s family and one of the Mr. Big in Chuzhou City, being scorned like that with a weapon pointed at his face was surely embarrassing for Peter Liu. ¡°Manners, will you? I¡¯m here to see president Duan, inform him that we¡¯re here, please.¡± Said Peter, with his hands behind his back, a bit pissed. The captain sneered at Peter¡¯s words, he look to the Liu¡¯s people, where there were around twenty, and said:¡±There¡¯s gotta be something wrong in your Liu¡¯s people¡¯s mind. I thought that I had made my point quite clear yesterday when one, no, two of your people showed up here, or is it you guys that are too shameless to know what I meant?¡± Zero respect, that¡¯s Mark and Verse¡¯s order. And it did pissed the Liu¡¯s people off. ¡°How dare you a menial security guard to talk to us like this! We, the Liu¡¯s, are one of those top families in Chuzhou!¡± Eximed Peter, unstintingly angry. As the captain was about to talk back, Verse walked out of the elevator. ¡°Miss Han!¡± The captain walked near her and said, with all due respect,¡±The Liu¡¯s are here again, two yesterday and now their whole family.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll take care of this.¡±Said Verse. She walked Peter and all the people who used to treat Mike like a ve and said grimly:¡±As he said, I think he made his point quite clear yesterday, all the cooperation will be aborted.¡± Then she looked to Helen and sneered:¡±But not the one with yourpany, Helen. You¡¯re lucky, our company will finish the project we¡¯re working with you. But as for otherpanies of you Liu¡¯s people¡¯s, they¡¯ll be aborted. There¡¯s no wiggle room for it andpensation won¡¯t help either.¡± That immediately put the confidence of Liu¡¯s people out. ¡°But why? What exactly did us do that offended Fengxing? Would you please let us meet president Mark so that we could settle down whatever misunderstandings there might be?¡±Said Peter, frowned,¡±Neither of us would be benefited from this.¡± Verse giggled, then she let out a string of sneeringughter. Then she put her arms around her chest and said to those beggar-looking people:¡±Let¡¯s put it this way: you Liu¡¯s people were nothing. And what led you here arguing with me was the help of our Fengxing Group. We brought you to where you are now, we can also destroy you to where you were. Aborting cooperation would be of no negative effect to ourpany. And misunderstandings? There¡¯s none at all! You guys were just a bunch of ungrateful souls and good-for-nothing!¡± Verse kept getting angrier, she was determined to tossed the same shame and disgrace Mike suffered back to the Liu¡¯s entirely. She continued:¡±The only thing youzyzy bastards are capable of is to eat your own heads off! You¡¯re calling it cooperation now, right? It¡¯s not! It has never been! It¡¯s always our company helping you without asking anything in return, it¡¯s more of charity than cooperation! ¡°And you¡¯re upset because we¡¯re putting a stop to it, then why don¡¯t you take a look back at what you guys have been doing for these two years? Nothing but you YOLO shit! If it weren¡¯t for Mi...¡±She immediately realized that she almost revealed the secret, then she coughed and continued:¡±Mark and his generosity, you could¡¯ve embrace bankrupt two years ago!¡± ¡°That¡¯s...impressive.¡± The captain thought to himself, totally surprised. The Liu¡¯s people¡¯s face all turned red, out of both embarrassment and anger, nothing they could do but cursing Verse in their heart. Especially Peter, the look on his face just couldn¡¯t get more embarrassing. It was uneptable to him to be shamed this way even though Fengxing did help them before. ¡°Enough! Miss, it¡¯s true that Fengxing had helped us a lot, but I don¡¯t think you can just take advantage of that and humiliate us like this! I need to see president Duan, now!¡± Said Peter, panting in great rage. But Verse remained calm and still, sneered:¡±I¡¯m don¡¯t think our president should waste his precious time on the penniless like you. I don¡¯t want to repeat it, get lost! Don¡¯t make this worse than it is now. I¡¯m sparing mercy for you people, but it¡¯s okay if you want to get your ass kicked again and be a joke of everyone in Chuzhou City.¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You...¡±Peter barely held his footing, barley uttered out a few words as he pointed to Verse. ¡°Dad, easy, dad!¡± ¡°You¡¯re a friend with their president, aren¡¯t you, Helen? Do something!¡± ¡°Why are you just always so selfish!¡± Now the situation was finally crystal clear to the Liu¡¯s. They were definitely unable to risk losing Fengxing Group¡¯s help, otherwise it would be the demise of everyone of them. Bearing the great embarrassment, Helen stepped up, cheeks all red, and said to Verse:¡±Miss Han, please let me in and meet president Duan! We¡¯re friends, he¡¯ll surely agree if you could tell him that I¡¯m here, please...¡± Nothing exhrated Verse more than seeing Helen descending her ego to make a plead, since she Helen snatched Mike away from her and treated him so cruelly. ¡°Don¡¯t bother, he had told me that he won¡¯t. Who do you think you are? Get the hell lost with them!¡± Verse got Helen¡¯s hands off her, as if Helen was a cockroach. Helen fell down on the ground, barely sitting, the Liu¡¯s people was pushing her to the edge of breaking down. ¡°Damn you useless girl, beg harder! Just kneel down, will you!?¡± Lisa walked up and scorned, poking Helen¡¯s head angrily. Helen walked near Verse and started begging again, bowed as tears ran down her cheeks: ¡°Please help us out, Miss Han...just tell us if we¡¯ve wronged you, we¡¯ll make up for it!¡± Verse withheld her rage, half was because of the look on Helen face, the other half was how ridiculous those Liu¡¯s people were. She turned to the captain and said:¡±Captain Liu, remember the order Mark and I gave you?¡± It reminded the captain of something, then he locked his sight on Joe, who¡¯s hiding in the crowd. ¡°Roger!¡± Frowned, he called on all the other security guards and dashed to Joe, then there came the beating again. ¡°Damn you bastard, so yesterday wasn¡¯t enough for you, huh?¡± It immediately brought chaos down onto the crowd. Chengfeng and Rose immediately ran to them. ¡°Let go of my son, you bastards! Get lost!¡± There came Rose¡¯s tantrum again. But why would these security guards care about her feelings? One of them walked to her and kicked her away. ¡°You¡¯ve got your chance! Now get lost!¡± Scorned the captain, who¡¯s patience had also wore thin. As for Joe, things seemed like it just couldn¡¯t get worse. He crawled to Peter and cried in great grievance:¡±Why...why do they do this again! I¡¯ve done nothing!¡± Tears ran down his cheeks, Peter knew it was the end of their family. ¡°What on earth did we do to deserve this!¡± Chapter 8 Isolating Liu Family Chapter 8 Isting Liu Family Every member of Liu Family was kicked out from the building of Fengxing Group. And at that time, a few business leaders from otherpanies came to negotiate with Fengxing Group, and they were taken aback by what they saw. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the old man from Liu Family?¡± ¡°It seems like they are kicked out. What is going on here?¡± Their eyes widened in disbelief. Everyone in Chuzhou City knew that Liu Family and Fengxing Group maintained a very close rtionship. And Liu Family would never be a grand and famous family in this city without Fengxing Group¡¯s support. Then, why would this family be kicked out from Fengxing Group? ¡°Is this even real? What is happening? Were they beaten?¡± Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org. They saw this family was all hurt. Joe was beaten before his previous wounds were healed, so now he was all ck and blue. And his parents were also greatly wounded when they tried to protect him. The old man, Peter Liu, was supported by some young men because he lost his crutch in the fight. ¡°Damn! Is Liu Family abandoned by Fengxing Group? Fengxing Group broke off the rtionship!¡± ¡°This is huge! I¡¯ll take some pictures!¡± ¡°This Liu Family monopolize the market with the backing from Fengxing Group. Now they are doomed, and we can finally operate our business smoothly!¡± These business leadersughed heartily and posted the pictures on their social media. This news will spread like wildfire among the upper ss in Chuzhou City. ¡°I need to see Mark Duan! Let me meet Mark Duan!¡± Peter screamed hysterically. For him, this blow was devastating, because his family was surly to fall without Mark¡¯s support. But Verse Han had already went upstairs and the security guards didn¡¯t mind him at all. ¡°Director Duan£¡¡± At that time, Mark came downstairs. The guards bowed to him respectfully. Mark nodded to them, and then walked to his car, followed by his body guards. He didn¡¯t even cast a nce at Liu Family. ¡°Mr Duan! Mr Duan! I¡¯m Peter Liu. What did we do to deserve this kind of treatment! Can you give us a chance to exin!¡± Peter was so excited when he saw Mark that he ran up to him without even being supported. But before he got near to Mark, he was stopped by some guards. ¡°Stay away from Director Duan!¡± A guard pped Peter violently and he was sent flying, and then he fell on the ground heavily. He was too old to sustain such a p, and he lost consciousness right there. ¡°Dad!¡± ¡°Grandpa!¡± All the juniors in the family rushed to the old man. When he saw this, Mark shook his head and his brow furrowed. It was Mike Yue who wanted to help Liu Family, not Mark. But when Liu Family got their backing, instead of working hard, it grew heavily dependent on them. Now both Mark and Mike wanted to stop providing the family with their help, and the family found itself in a dire situation in an instant. Even the old man put his dignity out of his mind and began begging for help. ¡°Helen, Helen. Now it¡¯s all up to you. The fate of our family is in your hands.¡± Peter gained a little bit consciousness, and he grabbed Helen¡¯s hand and said with great efforts. Helen was all lost. She didn¡¯t know what to do. She wanted to talk with Mark, but she knew Mark wouldn¡¯t give her the chance. These business leadersing to negotiate greeted Mark enthusiastically when they saw him. ¡°Good afternoon Mr Duan!¡± ¡°Is Mr Duan going out? We are here to seek cooperation.¡± Mark nodded smilingly. ¡°Good. Fengxing Group wees cooperation with every businessman. But we will never work with the kind ofpany that spends all its time daydreaming or waiting for help!¡± He then pointed directly at Liu Family. They understood immediately that Liu Family was indeed kicked out. They could understand it. You shall never give help to these people who have no motivation at all. ¡°Of course. We will also inform the others not to cooperate withpanies and families like this one!¡± They are smart people. They knew Mark was telling them not to cooperate with Liu Family at all. Mark wanted Liu Family to be totally isted. Helen got even more anxious when she heard what Mark said. She ran towards Mark but she didn¡¯t dare get too near to him. She said to him from a distance: ¡°Director Duan! I¡¯m Helen Liu! What did we do? Why are you doing this to us?¡± Mark looked her coldly and said: ¡°What do you mean? Is it my responsibility to provide for your family? Aren¡¯t you still satisfied with all the money you took from me for the past two years?¡± Helen exined: ¡°I promise we will change! We will get rid of all our bad habits! Please don¡¯t stop our cooperation. You are basically killing us by doing so!¡± Markughed. ¡°Killing you? You wouldn¡¯t find yourself in this situation if you worked a little bit hard during thest two years. My decision is final!¡± Helen was so anxious. Tears brimmed in her eyes. She begged: ¡°Director Duan, can we have a dinner tonight? I want to talk this with you. If we did anything wrong, you can just tell me and we will surly change.¡± Mark found this family unbelievable. They were always so mean to Mike, and they had no idea it was Mike who had been helping them, not Mark. Today their attitude was a stark contrast to the attitude they disyed towards Mike. But Mark decided to meet Helen that night. Because he wanted to figure out whether money is the only thing Liu Family cares about, and whether they are all devoid of human emotions. ¡°Fine. I¡¯ll meet you tonight at nine o¡¯clock. But you should think about what do you want to say to me. I don¡¯t have much time for you.¡± Mark said to Helen meaningfully. Then he got in the car. These business leaders waved towards him. ¡°Good bye Mr Duan.¡± ¡°Goodbye!¡± Mark reached his hand out of the window and waved politely towards them, and then then car drove away. Helen sighed with relief. At least she got a chance to meet him alone. Chapter 9 You Could...Stay There for a Night Chapter 9 You Could...Stay There for a Night In the hospital, Joe Liu and Peter Liu were both lying on the bed. Peter had already been walking with a limp, being pushed down on the ground would definitely keep on bed for at least half a year. They would ask for hell lot ofpensation if it was some random people that did it to them, but it was Mark¡£ ¡°Helen...¡± Uttered Peter, weakly. He seemed to have gotten ten years older, he was frail, mentally and physically. ¡°I¡¯m here, grandpa!¡± Helen immediately ran to him. ¡°Mark had agreed that he would meet you tonight, it...it¡¯s a good start. You have to seize the chance, you¡¯re our only hope whether we could remain our position in this city.¡± Said Peter, with great seriousness. No one darey any sarcasm down on Helen anymore, not even Lisa or Rose. They had nothing left in their hands but Helen and her rtionship with Mark, the meeting she¡¯s about to have with Mark would decide the fate of everyone in Liu¡¯s family. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, grandpa, it¡¯s about everyone, I would do anything just to restore the cooperation!¡± Replied Helen, knowing the weight of the responsibility on her shoulder. ¡°That¡¯s my granddaughter.¡± Said Peter, a rarepliment to Helen. He called Ben and Xiaohui, Helen¡¯s parents, to his side and said to them:¡±Chengjiang¡¯spany would be yours if Helen could get the cooperation back.¡± It immediately ted Ben and Xiaohui. What a bliss! As the youngest son in Liu''s family, Ben didn¡¯t have muchpetence, consequently nor was he respected by the others, since his family led a rather wretched life. Being given such an opportunity was beyond Ben¡¯s imagination. ¡°Thank you, dad! Helen won¡¯t let you down!¡± Said Xiaohui, more excited than Ben. But Chengjiang didn¡¯t like it. Sure he would, it was thepany he had fought for so long. ¡°Dad, it¡¯s...¡± Before Chengjiang finished his words, Chengfeng stopped him, stared into his eyes and said:¡±Don¡¯t be so selfish,Chengjiang, we do what dad want us to do. Think about the bigger picture, yourpany is nothingparing with it.¡± Bigger picture again. Chengjiang didn¡¯t say anything after that. ¡°But, Helen...¡±Said Peter,¡±Mark is not easy to handle with, if you have no other choices...¡± Peter stopped for a while, thinking about whether he should continued. And he did:¡±You could...stay there for a night. I think...he won¡¯t turn that down, you know...you¡¯re gorgeous.¡± And it shocked Helen and her parents. Tears swelled up Helen¡¯s eyes in no time. The worst thing was not that it was a pure seduction it was that the idea was from Peter, her grandpa. It was true that Helen just went through a divorce, but Mike neverid his hands on her. Her chastity was still there, but even if it wasn¡¯t ,Peter should never say anything like that. ¡°Grandpa! That¡¯s the bottom line we should not cross!¡± Cried Helen, with trembling sound. As timid as Ben was , it was too much toy such a disgrace on his daughter. He walked to Peter and murmured:¡±Dad, that¡¯s just too much to ask for, we shouldn¡¯t ask Helen to do such thing.¡± Bang! Peter smashed the bed with his fist and eximed:¡±You think I want this? Why would I ask my granddaughter to do it if we¡¯re not on the brink of life and death! And it would be death to all of us if we fail tonight, do you even understand!¡± That was a huge reminder. Everyone started trying to persuade Helen except her parents. ¡°It¡¯s necessary, Helen, it¡¯s for all of us!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve married once anyway, it¡¯s not a big deal!¡± ¡°That¡¯s i, Helen! Once you make it, it¡¯ll be the greatest contribution to our family!¡± All those words broke Helen down. She didn¡¯t until then that she realized how she had been treated in the Liu¡¯s family, minor and menial. To the others, they would dearly love to ask her to do anything in the name of the bigger picture, however filthy or obscene. Crowded by all those people, Helen started crying and ran away from the ward. ¡°Helen!¡± Ben and Xiaohui followed and stopped her at the entrance of the hospital. ¡°Helen, your grandpa has no other options, no one would ever ask you to do it if we were not in such a crucial trouble!¡± Said Xiaohui. Tears were still running down Helen¡¯s face, she sneered and said:¡±The trouble? We brought the trouble on us ourselves! We thought that we could just cling to Fengxing forever! So this is what I¡¯m for? Selling myself to solve your trouble? I¡¯m not a whore!¡± Helen needed time to calm herself, so Xiaohui took Ben aside and said to him:¡±I don¡¯t want to put Helen in such a thing either, but Chengjiang¡¯spany that dad promised you makes quite much money, we can¡¯t let go of such a chance!¡± Ben looked to her, with disbelief all over his face. ¡°Are you out of your mind? She¡¯s our daughter!¡± Xiaohui tossed her bag onto Ben and scorned:¡±Then tell me another way to settle this trouble! I see no choices but to deal with this Mark first, what else can we do other than send Helen to him? You¡¯re nothing better than that useless Mike! You¡¯ve never bought me anything except our wedding ring, and your brothers wives all have shiny golden things all over them! And me? Nothing! You either talk your daughter into it, or we¡¯ll divorce!¡± Ben didn¡¯t dare look at her as all those condemn rained on him, a divorce would make him the most menial person in Liu¡¯s family. It was all because of his ipetence anyway. He gathered himself up and walked to Helen, stuttered:¡±Helen, neither of us want you to do it. But you see what happened, this is the only way for us to gain respect in this family! For the sake of that company...¡± Helen suddenly looked at to Ben, kept shaking her head as despair filled up her eyes. Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°We¡¯ve gone through so much trouble to bring you up, it¡¯s your turn to return the favor! You must get this thing done, do you understand!?¡± Eximed Xiaohui as she saw the look on Helen¡¯s face. ¡°So...this is the Liu¡¯s people...¡±It was thest straw on Helen¡¯s back that her parents were pushing her like that,¡±You...you¡¯re not my parents!¡± She creamed out in greatest anger and despair, then she ran away, crying. It was at that moment that she totally realized what desperation felt like, and she eventually found out that Mike would never make her go through such disgrace and shame. As useless as Mike was, he has clear principles and he always did what she asked. ¡°Mike, where are you...¡±Uttered Helen, crying still. Chapter 10 Visiting Mark Duan Chapter 10 Visiting Mark Duan Mark Duan handed over the key to Mike Yue in therge vi. "This vi has just been renovated, and now you have the keys." Mark said. "You spend ten million dors on such a big vi? Its renovation cost is two million dors. Why did you buy it?" This vi was bought by Mike at the end ofst year at a high price. It is known as the number one vi in Chuzhou City, and many rich people cannot have a chance to buy it. Mike knew the owner of the vi, so he was able to buy it. Nevertheless, he still spent 10 million dors to buy it. "Originally, I waited for it to be renovated and gave a surprise to Helen. I just didn''t expect that we would be divorced before we can tell her the surprise." Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org. Mike took the keys and said with a wry smile. "Now I''ll have to live on my own. In the big house, I can sleep wherever I want, and I don''t have to sleep in the study anymore." After hearing his words, Mark hesitated and then said to Mike. "Actually, Helen begged me to meet her tonight for the Liu family." "I didn''t want to go, but she kept begging me, so I agreed." Mike was stunned, he couldn''t help but feel sorry for her when he thought how Helen had bowed down and begged others. "It must have been the Liu family who forced her to do it. She is the one who contacted you all along, so the Liu family must have pinned all their hopes on her." Mike said with a frown. Mark also sighed. "But I''m sure I won''t ept her requests. Liu family doesn¡¯t deserve your help anymore." Mark said, "Don''t be soft, you''re divorced. And you haven''t even slept with her." Mike sighed heavily. He actually wanted to help Helen, but he didn''t want to continue helping Liu family. He did not terminate his cooperation with Helen¡¯spany for the time being, which was hisst kindness for her. Thinking of all that the Liu family and Helen had done to him, he really could no longer find a reason to help anyone in the Liu family, including Helen. "Don''t be mean to her." he said, "She must be helpless right now. I guess the Liu family''s members must be pushing her. Her father is very cowardly and her mother is a snob." "You''re just too soft." Mark nodded slightly and said, "Don''t worry, I won''t embarrass her." After saying that, Mark left the vi. Mike sat alone on the sofa, looking at the big vi and pondering. The vi was decorated in a very cozy style. Once he was filled with longing for this ce. He thought this was his and Helen''s home. But now, he was the only one here. The house was decorated, but his home was gone. ........ At this point, Helen Liu had been crying on the bridge all afternoon. She was a girl being forced by her family to do such a thing. They not only bullied her, but also they were trampling on her dignity. Suddenly, she missed Mike, although he was ipetent in her eyes. But he would protect her and care for her. He would never make her do something that she disliked. Now Helen remembered how kind Mike was to her before. She still remembered that when she wanted to eat barbecue in the winter, Mike walked a long way to buy it for her. The temperature at that time was below zero degrees. Mike was so obedient to her and cared her, while the Liu family was so mean to him. "Why do I still miss him? He¡¯s the one who wanted to divorce me." "He''s just a loser, why do I want with him?" Helen dried her tears and cheered herself up. "I''ll definitely be able to persuade Mark. I''m a woman, how can I trade with my body." ¡°I will definitely be able to do it." She said to herself. He stood on the bridge, took out a mirror from his bag to touch up his make-up, and then got into a taxi to go to the Zuixian Hotel. After the past two days, Helen Liu was already very tired. But she still had to smile in the face of Mark Duan and tried to get a chance for her family to live in Chuzhou City. "Miss Liu, I think I''ve already made it clear to your Liu family. Fengxing Group has no obligation to support you." At the dinner table, Mark Duan sat squarely and said with a cold face. "I''ve never seen a family so unmotivated. Almost all the people of your family don''t strive for survival." "But I recognize Miss Liu''s abilities. I also know that in the Liu family, you work the hardest."Mark said, "But it¡¯s not enough. Fengxing Group has supported your family for two years, so why should I continue to do so?" Helen listened quietly, waiting for Mark to finish before she dared to speak. "Mr. Duan, I''m really sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of everyone in the Liu family. "Helen beggared, "I hope you can give us a chance again. If Fengxing Group insists on ending the partnership with us, the Liu Family''spany will really go bankrupt." Mark took a sip of his tea and said with a calm expression. "Your family is not worth any more help from me." "I''ve finished what I have to say. Yourpany''s cooperation with Fengxing Group hasn''t ended for the time being, so at least you still have status in the Liu family now with yourpany." Helen, at this moment, no longer knew what to say. She could only hang her head and sobbed. Seeing her like this, Mark frowned slightly. This woman should have had the best life. She had a chance to be the daughter-inw of Yue family, one of the four great families. This was something that many women dreamed for, but she had ruined it all. Mark didn''t know whether to feel sorry for her or think she deserved it. "Miss Liu, I remember you had an ex-husband. His name is Mike Yue, right?" Mark asked suddenly. Helen looked up with a start, wiping her tears. "You know Mike Yue?" Mark shook his head. He had promised Mike that he couldn''t reveal Mike¡¯s identity. "I don''t know him. I just heard that your family has a live-in son-inw who is nice to all of you, especially to you." Mark said. "But it seems that all of your family¡¯s members are mean to him, and I want to know why you''re doing this." Mark looked at Helen and asked the question seriously. "Our family is good to him." Helen replied with some guilty. "Miss Duan, don''t listen to those rumors outside. Mike Yue is a live-in son-inw and he doesn''t have a job. It¡¯s my family that supported him." She knew very well how they treated Mike. Even she didn''t treat her husband well, let alone the others. "You are lying." Mark clenched his fist and looked at Helen coldly. Helen shivered and looked at Mark in puzzlement, "Why is Mark so interested in a nobody like Mike?" "Mr. Duan, I''m telling the truth. Besides, what does Mike have to do with what we''re talking about?" Helen asked cautiously. Mark snorted. "No. I just feel sorry for him. It''s his bad luck that he met you guys." "Liu family treated him badly, but as his wife, why were you mean to him? You have no idea what kind of a good man you missed. No wonder your Liu family needs to beggar others today. You family should really reflect on this." When he finished, Mark stood up and prepared to leave. "I''m leaving, so you just think about what you''ve done" Just at that moment, Helen suddenly called out. "Mr. Duan, please wait a moment." Helen trembled incessantly, her face full of shame and anger. Her eyes were filled with tears. If she didn''t persuade Mark to continue his cooperation with Liu family today, she would definitely drown in the spittle of the Liu family when she returned. They would definitely treat her as a sinner of the family. "What should I do? Do I really have to sell my body?" Helen whimpered. Mark frowned when he felt something wrong with Helen and asked her. "What''s wrong with you?" Chapter 11 You are so shameless Chapter 11 You are so shameless ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Mark¡¯s brow furrowed. He noticed Helen was behaving weirdly. Helen felt her face was burning. She didn¡¯t want to do that. She is a proud woman and she couldn¡¯t betray her body and her soul. But how could she face her family if she went back home with a bad news? The whole family would me her for her indecision and inability. They would heap insults on her. Even her parents would disy a dismissive attitude towards her. She is only a woman and it was too much pressure for her to burden. She was seized by terror when she thought how her family would treat her if she failed. ¡°I....I....¡± Helen opened her mouth but she couldn¡¯t say anything slutty to seduce Mark. Mark was not a silly man. He had been around. Helen¡¯s blush and awkwardness made her intention very clear to Mark. ¡°You jerk!¡± Mark smashed a tea cup heavily on the ground. He pointed at Helen and said: ¡°How dare you! Do you and your family even have a bottom line? How would my brother feel if he got to know this? Do you even think about him? How can you even do this to yourself? I¡¯m so disappointed in you! This is it! There is no cooperation between me and your family. And there is also no cooperation between me and your ownpany!¡± Mark was truly mad and he could not hold back his anger at all. Helen¡¯s thought subjected both him and Mike to utter humiliation. Helen and Mike had only been divorced for a few days, and had Helen already forgotten him totally? After heaping insults on Helen, Mark left the room, banging the door behind him. Helen was left alone in the room, froze. Tears were streaming down her face, but she didn¡¯t make a sound. ¡°Helen Liu! Do you even have an ounce of self-esteem? Is it truly worth it to make this sacrifice for Liu Family!¡± She thought to herself. She hated herself at that moment. She found herself weak and disgusting. She pped herself fiercely. ...... ¡°What a crazy woman.¡± Mark¡¯s anger didn¡¯t subside when he got out of the restaurant. He wanted to call Mike but he checked himself at thest moment. Because Mike loved Helen passionately and it be a huge blow to him if he knew what just happened. Besides, Mike was already in a bad mood so there was no need to make it worse. So Mark didn¡¯t call Mike, and he drove home alone. The next day, when Mark got to thepany, Verse Han brought him some documents to sign. And when Mark was signing all the papers, Verse asked: ¡°I heard you meet Helen alonest night. What did she say to you?¡± Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org. Mark and Verse are very good friends, so Mark didn¡¯t hide it from her. He said angrily: ¡°What else could she say? She was begging me for Liu Family. What took me by surprise was that the woman...... ¡± Mark found it hard to say. He sighed heavily and said: ¡°Forget about it.¡± But Verse¡¯s curiosity was aroused. She asked Mark to say it. ¡°Come on, just tell me. What did she do? Did she kneel in front of you?¡± Mark shook his head. ¡°How is that possible. She is Mike¡¯s ex-wife. How can I make her kneel. You wouldn¡¯t even believe it. That woman tried to seduce me! I scolded her severely.¡± Verse¡¯s eyes widened in astonishment. And her face changed dramatically. ¡°Are you serious?¡± Mark sighed. ¡°Do I look like joking? But I could see she was very hesitant. Maybe she was forced by Liu Family, so we couldn¡¯t really me her. But I do find this Liu Family unbelievable. They don¡¯t have a bottom line.¡± Verse couldn¡¯t believe it. She doesn¡¯t like Helen but she couldn¡¯t believe Helen would do such a thing. ¡°How could she do this when Mike loves her so much! She doesn¡¯t deserve his love at all.¡± Verse said angrily. ¡°You can¡¯t tell Mike this, or...¡± Before Verse finished, the door was kicked open violently, which greatly frightened Mark and Verse. They looked towards the door, and saw Mike was standing there. His face was stony. Mark was so frightened that he jumped up from chair and exined: ¡°Big brother, I swear I didn¡¯t do anything. I scolded her right then! If you don¡¯t believe me, you can check the surveince footage! ¡± Mark could feel cold sweat trickling down his back. ¡°I believe what you said. I know what kind of person you are.¡± Mike said. He felt his heart was broken into pieces. ¡°Obviously her family was forcing her to do that or she would never hesitate. This silly woman! She is nobody in her family, and she is always overwhelmed by the pressure from her family!¡± Now Mike¡¯s eyes were bloodshot and he felt blood was racing through his veins. Verse said in a hurry: ¡°Mike, please don¡¯t feel angry. She is not your wife anymore, so just don¡¯t mind her business.¡± Mike couldn¡¯t let it go. He got divorced with Helen because he was truly pissed off, not because he stopped loving her. He was so nice to Helen and his attentions to her were unbounded. And he couldn¡¯t allow anyone to hurt the woman he loves so much. ¡°Peter Liu! You bastard! I kill you!!¡± Mike was so angry that he was getting murderous. Verse was frightened by what he said. Her face went pale and her legs were shivering. Mark dragged Mike into the office and said: ¡°Big brother! Are you out of your mind! There are so many people in Liu Family, and how do you want to kill Peter! Just listen to me. Forget everything about Liu Family! Forget everything about Helen! She has nothing to do with you anymore!!!¡± Mike froze. His eyes widened, and he got speechless. ...... It was in the hospital, Peter and the other family members were waiting for Helen¡¯s good news. Peter¡¯s complexion went from pale to ruddy when he saw Helen didn¡¯te back the whole night. He said cheerily: ¡°This will work. Mark slept with our Helen, and he will surly help us this time.¡± They all sighed with huge relief. Helen must slept with Mark since she didn¡¯te back the whole night. And Mark, as the director of Fengxing Group, would absolutely do something for her. ¡°Helen is so slutty.¡± Joe thought, lying on the bed. He despised what Helen did. Xiaohui Yu also smiled happily. She disapproves what Helen did, but it was worth it because Liu Family could get apany! Ben¡¯s spirit sunk, and his eyes were red. He doesn¡¯t want Helen to do that but he doesn¡¯t have a say in this family, and he could help Helen with nothing. ¡°Helen, I¡¯m not a good father!¡± He thought to himself. About half an hourter, Helen appeared. Her hair was dishevelled, she looked very tired, and her eyes were bloodshot from crying. She spent the whole night in a park, and she couldn¡¯t forgive herself for trying to seduce Mark. ¡°Helen, you are finally back! Did Mark agree to continue our cooperation?¡± Everyone in the room stood up in unison, and looked at Helen expectantly. Helen said in a shivering voice: ¡°No, I failed. I didn¡¯t protect Liu Family, and I lost my ownpany.¡± Everyone froze when they heard that. Peter sat up from his bed and shouted hysterically: ¡°What did you say?¡± Chapter 12 You Get What You Deserve Chapter 12 You Get What You Deserve ¡°Helen, what the hell? What can you even do for your family!!¡± Helen became a target of insults after telling them the bad news. Peter didn¡¯t refrain his anger even though he was on a hospital bed. He shouted at Helen wildly: ¡°You didn¡¯t change Mark¡¯s idea? After sleeping with him?¡± ¡°Helen, you are destroying this family.¡± ¡°Do you even care about this family? This family treats you so well and is this how you repay us?¡± Liu Family heaped insults on Helen, not caring her feelings at all. Helen was feeling dizzy, and tears spilled from her eyes. She looked at them nkly and said: ¡°No I didn¡¯t sleep with him! Why are you all ming me? What the hell did I do? Did I ask him to stop the cooperation? It was you! You have no motivation at all, and that¡¯s why there is no cooperation anymore. You should me yourselves!!¡± Helen was on the verge of breaking down. She shouted at her elders, without caring whether it was appropriate or not. And then, Helen received a p. She didn¡¯t see who delivered this p because it was so fast and violent that she was sent moving backwards. She grabbed a table for support or she would surly fall. ¡°How dare you to talk to us like that! Why didn¡¯t you sleep with Mark?¡± ¡°If you did, he would surly help us£¡¡± Xiaohui Yu also joined in. She said with great disappointment: ¡°You jerk!¡± Why didn¡¯t you do that? Don¡¯t you know what¡¯s the situation our family is currently in?¡± Ben Liu was hiding behind. He didn¡¯t dare to utter a word in this kind of situation. Helen managed to steady herself. She gave a shortugh, then her vision blurred and her body began falling on the ground, but then, before she lost her consciousnesspletely, she felt someone grabbed her from behind. And soon another p was heard, then she totally cked out. It was Mike who broke in and pped Lisa, the third daughter of Liu Family. Lisa was shocked. She covered her swollen face and yelled wildly: ¡°You bastard!! How dare you!! Who the hell do you think you are!!!¡± Her voice was deafening, and only Rose Zhong¡¯s voice could be as prating and hers. When she finished, Mike pped her one more time. Mike held Helen in his arms and shouted at Liu Family: ¡°She is my wife!! And she is your family!! How can you force her to do such a despicable thing!! You depraved, soulless bastards!!¡± Mike¡¯s sudden appearance frightened everyone. ¡°Mike? Why are you here? You are in no position to mind our family¡¯s business. Get the hell out of here!¡± ¡°Go away!! You pathetic loser!!!¡± Material ? of N?velDrama.Org. Every man rolled up his sleeves, and every woman rested her hands on her hips. They knew Mike would be easily scared. ¡°Shut up!!!¡± Mike shouted at them. And everyone in the family was frightened. They realized that Mike changed. Mike was no longer the coward that they can bully whenever they want to. Instead, Mike¡¯s presence was nowmanding, as if he was a king! They couldn¡¯t believe it, but his change was too obvious to ignore. What they didn¡¯t know was that Mike could finally be himself after breaking away from Liu Family. He was not pretending to bemanding. He is amanding figure! ¡°I¡¯ll kill you if you take one more step forward!¡± Mike said gravely. Everyone in Liu Family moved backwards. They were either too old or too weak to fight Mike. Chengfeng pointed at Mike and said in a shivering voice: ¡°How dare you! You were once a member of the family! Is this how you repay your old family!!¡± Mikeughed coldly when he heard what he said. ¡°Repay you for what? For humiliating me? For bullying me? Don¡¯t you feel guilty when you say something like that?¡± Chengfeng was unable to utter one word. He wanted to fight him but he knew fighting a young man like Mike is as good asmitting suicide. ¡°You jerk! What on earth are you doing here? Just to mess with us!?¡± Peter was furious. Mike looked at him and said coldly: ¡°I am just here to find out what has be of your family! Your cruel family has finally got what you truly deserve! You crazy old ass! You want your granddaughter to sell her body!!! Just wait, I am so gonna destroy you someday!¡± Mike sneaked out of thepany when Verse and Mark were busy with something else. He was absolutely seething, but he knew he couldn¡¯t kill people in public even though he is Tianxiong Yue¡¯s son. Mike only wanted to verbally warn Liu Family, but the moment he got to the door of the ward, he heard all the insults Liu Family heaped on Helen. That¡¯s why he lost control over himself and pped Lisa. ¡°You arrogant jerk! Who do you think you are.¡± Peter was so angry that his face went pale. Mike didn¡¯t want to keep quarreling with them. He held up Helen and was about to leave. But he was stopped by Xiaohui. ¡°What are you doing? Put my daughter down! You are no longer her husband!!¡± Mike looked at his former mother-inw coldly, kicked her away, and took off. ¡°Hey! You jerk! I am calling the police! He abducted my daughter!¡± The ward was rendered into chaos. Xiaohui wanted to chase him, but a nurse appeared at the door and blocked her way. ¡°You must keep quite! This is a hospital! All the other patients need rest!¡± The nurse could no longer put up with them as they were always quarreling. She had got manyints about them. ¡°What did you say? Do you have any idea who we are? We are Liu Family! Have you heard of us?¡± Lisa and Rose¡¯s anger red up in an instant. The nurse crossed her arms in front of her chest and said coldly: ¡°Sure I know your family. Fengxing Group stopped their cooperation with your family, am I right? The whole Chuzhou City knows your family is doomed. So stop trying to bluff! I am here to warn you not to make any noise, or I¡¯ll have to call the police.¡± What she said was a p on their face. Their family was no longer the grand family it used to be. It is a fact and they must acknowledge it. The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
