Chapter 79 - Lilian Step Mother (Part - 3)
Without understanding her own emotions, Caixia planned to annoy and make trouble for him. She was feeling annoyed by the girl tailing him. While she could solve the situation easily, still she planned to create trouble for Wang Shiwei to clean it later.
Hump! You dare to annoy me, let me show what you get for irritating this queen. Two birds with one stone! That's my aim.
Enraged by her provoking words, Mrs. Lee stepped toward her and raised her hand to slap her but before Caixia could stop her hand, Wang Shiwei was already grabbing it and slapped it away.
"Mrs. Lee, for your kind information, she is my partner and no one can touch her instead of me!" he said while glaring at her.
Mrs. Lee gasped and stepped back. She become a little afraid by him but then she made her mind to act rationally and get Caixia kicked by his own partner to humiliate her.
"Mr. Wang, it seems that you don't understand that your companion is humiliating me for educating my son or why else would I even raise my hand against her?" she said politely and elegantly.
"Yes Shiwei, she is right. Caixia did said vicious words to her and even you heard it," Lee Shin meddled between.
Wang Shiwei ignored both of them and looked at Caixia to hear her response but she was not willing to do so and stepped forward.
"Did I really humiliate you? Was that more bad then what you did to your son?" she asked confidently.
Mrs. Lee was confused and was wandering about why was Caixia so confident, 'Is it because she is Mr. Wang companion? Huh, if she is acting arrogant just because of that then she will regret it'.
"All I did was to teach him not to steal, is it wrong of me to do so as his mother? Is it because I am not his real mother so you are questioning me?" she tried to act innocent and a damsel in distress.
Lilian and his uncle knew that the pendant was his mother's to begin with but they had no evidence to show at that time and because of his brother who was being manipulated, it was getting harder for him to speak against her.
'If not for trying my best to keep my ties with my big brother, I would have killed this woman a long time ago,' Mr. Lee gritted his teeth and stood silently since Caixia was taking the command ahead.
He was curious as to what she could do against a sly woman.
"Yeah you are his mother but Mrs. Lee it seems that you have had a very big misunderstanding that you don't wish to solve," Caixia said with a smirk.
Mrs. Lee eyebrows become furrowed, "I don't get it".
With a big smile, Caixia lifted her right hand which had the pendant and showed it to everyone, "This pendant is what Mrs. Lee used to accuse her own step son without knowing from where it came. So, let me tell everyone that It. Belongs. To. Me".
She announced it to everyone and stopped to let Mrs. Lee spout some more nonsense.
Mrs. Lee who was sure about Caixia lying since even she knew that the pendant belonged to Lilian's mother, felt overconfident, "I feel nice that you want to defend my son but you shouldn't take such a path that is filled with lie".
"Mrs. Lee, why are you so confident that I am lying? It makes me feel that you know the real owner of the Pendant," replied Caixia and glanced at Lilian who was nervous and baffled by Caixia sudden claim on the pendant.
Mrs. Lee was left with no words since there was no way she could announce that the pendant was Lilian's mother when she herself claimed it of being someone else.
Seeing Mrs. Lee frozen mouth Caixia gave her a grin, "I knew that you won't really accept my claims because I know that you don't want to, so I quickly prepared an evidence which will make it easy".
Caixia took out her cell phone and showed a photograph of her wearing that pendant to everyone.
That's it and Mrs. Lee face turned pale and eyes lowered since she was found guilty in front of everyone. Anymore words from her could create more trouble but remaining silent was not a luxury she could have while surrounded by the crowd.
She gulped and put on a business smile, "It seems that I made a mistake, I didn't knew that you gave this pendant to my som".
Caixia chuckled, "Now that you know, what punishment will you accept for yourself for accusing your son for thievery? You slapped him in front of everyone even though he was not at mistake, so I wonder what punishment you should receive".
Mrs. Lee grinded her teeth but kept calm in front of embarrassment, "You could have told me from the beginning so I guess it's your mistake, too!" she tried to put the blame on Caixia.
Caixia who was controlling herself from the very beginning was glaring her while putting a smile at the same time.
"But from the beginning you never gave me a chance to do so! You just kept slapping your son and emphasizing his wrong deeds which was not wrong from the beginning, so at least you should ask for his forgiveness or no child will ever want a step mother after looking at you," Caixia tilted her head, her eyes big and smile wide as she said.
At last she sighed and glanced at Wang Shiwei who had a proud face.
Tsk Tsk! What is he looking at with such a proud face. Whatever, I should get out from here and strike while the iron is still hot.
Mrs. Lee who was feeling embarrassed to apologize to her step son was yet to know what will happen to her in the future.
"And Mrs. Lee, you should read more news since the company I am working at belongs to me and is given by my real parents not snatched by the so called thieves who are currently living in prison," Caixia turned back and stepped toward Lilian.
"For you, I will keep this pendant safe so come and take it whenever you want," she whispered and left without Wang Shiwei.
It irritated him because she left him but what annoyed him more was when he heard from Caixia that Mrs. Lee tried to harm Caixia reputation by saying misleading words.
"Mrs. Lee, I guess I have to think about our partnership again with the eldest son of the Lee family which is your husband," said Wang Shiwei.
Mrs. Lee panicked since it was a decision which could influence the Lee group position in the current market and future.
"Shiwei!" she tried to coax him, "You shouldn't take decision over such a trivial thing," said Lee Shin and grabbed his arm.
He smirked and removed her hand from his arm, "I consider you as my small sister so I will forget that you said such things for once but don't ever say these things as trivial matter again or believe me I will severe our old friendship".
Both Lee Shin and Mrs. Lee gasped and looked at each other. Coming a little forward, Mrs. Lee quickly apologized to Lilian and said, "Mr. Wang, I have apologized for the thing I have done, so please think again about your decision".
"Hah! It's not because I want to hear your apology, it's because you insulted my companion, Mrs. Lee. Even those who have never met me once still know that they should not mess with my people yet you directly targeted her. You must be tired of your comfortable life," he turned back after saying.
But before leaving, he nodded while looking at Mr. Lee and Lilian. Lilian tears already stopped coming after he started to feel amused by the situation where his step mother got humiliated by Caixia rather then his uncle.
Mrs. Lee always wanted to break both brothers apart and even on the birthday party she had already things planned to mess up the party and enrage Mr. Lee so that he would take some measure step toward her and anger his big brother by doing that.
But now her plan was failed because Caixia intervened in it. Not just her plan but she even got humiliated in front of everyone and that's the only thing she knew and blamed Caixia for but she was yet to know that the real trap made by Caixia was yet to befall her.
Of course, I would not just depend on Wang Shiwei for his help if they tried to harm my company after all I have understood the way life works after dying for once.
My closest companion killed me at the moment of my weakness, so why would I even believe him.
Therefore, everything have already been ready as per I planned the moment she insulted me of snatching the company from my parents.
She was standing outside of the parking lot and waiting for Wang Shiwei to pick her up but what she saw after he stopped his car in front of her was humiliating.
"This dress is really beautiful.. Is this the limited edition designed by the famous artist of the Alfyno brand belongs to the Wang company?" asked Lee Shin while staring and observing Caixia from the front seat of the car and next to Wang Shiwei.
