A Billion Dollar Exchange

"Father, didn't you say you had something important to discuss with me? "

Liu Wei raised twitched his brows as he spoke to his dad. The man who didn't expect him to change the topic immediately was extremely surprised. After sometime, he regained his stance and spoke up.

"So what are you trying to say? Me, being concerned about my son's capability of managing his employees is not important? "

Mr Zang raised his voice a little as he spoke. it was obvious that he was angry.

"Father, this is my house and I don't think you have a say in who I wish to employ or not, in my own house. Even if I wish to hire a handicap, I alone would bear the consequence and what comes thereafter, and I don't think I'm answerable to you in that aspect.."

Mr Zang could not believe his ears. Da Xia could not believe her eyes.

'That was the longest she had heard him speak and it was in defending that filthy woman! Who in hell is she! '

"So what you are trying to say is that this salty coffee she served us is none of your business? That she wouldn't get reprimanded for it? "

Liu Wei frowned a little as he watched his father's expression.

'He could take anything but to insult the girl he loved?, he wouldn't take it!

His father had called her filthy! Liling filthy?!

Even if she had served them a coffee filled with stones, he wasn't still in the position to call her filthy!! She was not filthy!'

Liu Wei was very angry, but his face bore a clear expression. He quietly dropped the magazine by his side.

"If she should get any reprimanding, I should be the one to decide that, and besides what is the physical difference between salt and sugar?"

Mr Zang nearly coughed out blood hearing his son go against him for the first time! The son he knew would not even argue with him about anything not to talk of a common maid!

Da Xia fumed inside of her but she knew how to pretend very well, so instead of making Liu Wei angrier, she turned to coax Mr Zang.

"Father, it's okay. She made a mistake but she has learned her lessons, she shouldn't lose her job for just one mistake, should she? Forgive her this time, I'm sure it won't happen again. "

Mr Zang who was prepared to vent at his son slowly calmed down. He heaved heavily as he watched his stoic_faced son with anger.

Da Xia patted his arm lovingly, though biting in her anger.

"I haven't told you before, but I'm sure you are wise enough to understand what is going on. Da Xia here, is the woman I've chosen for you to marry, I want you two to get along better with each other, so by the end of the year, we'll start getting ready for a wedding."

.....

When Liling left the parlor, she headed straight for the kitchen as angry as she could ever be.

As she approached, she found Yan Ran slicing some vegetables, she dropped the tray on the chopping table angrily, letting it spill a little.

"Did you really have to do that? You knew that Mr Liu Wei had important visitors today and you put salt in the coffee you gave me to serve them so I would embarrass myself out there, right?

Yan Ran, I know you don't like me, but you didn't need to go to that extent to prove it!"

With that Liling turned and left the kitchen, leaving Yan Ran dumbfounded at a spot.

'Salt? No, I didn't put salt, it was sugar, I had put excess sugar! '

Yan Ran frowned a little and turned to pick up the untouched cup of coffee and took a sip from it. Her brows twitched as she realized that it wasn't only her who hated Liling.
