Xinyi pursed her lips and glanced at Liwei who was sitting beside Xie Ming while hugging her waist. All this while, he didn't even spare her a single glance.

  His eyes were constantly on Xie Ming. If Xie Ming was not talking to her, he might have sent her back by now.

  " Sister, why are you asking something like this? I am asking you to come because I want you to come. Also, it's your house as well. Even though you are married, you're still the daughter of that house. The familial ties that you had with that family cannot be broken just because you got married. That house will always be yours." Xinyi said in a gentle tone.

  Xie Ming's lips curled upwards as she thought something absurd. Xinyi reminds her of someone who is her master in acting pitiful and vulnerable.

  She looks like an incarnation of Xiao Li in modern times.

  Xinyi's heart touching words didn't feel anything to her. She raised her eyes and glanced at her with a smirk on her lips, " My house? Familial ties?"

  " I think you're mistaking something, Ms. Xie. I left the house when I was 15 years old and since that day it was never my house. And the familial ties you're talking about are just on papers. Nothing else. How could you forget everything you and your mother did to me and my mother? Why do you keep forgetting the fact that you're not just my step sister but my father's illegitimate child?" her tone became cold by every word.

  By now she was trying to ignore everything but the more she sees Xinyi, the more she remembers what she had done to Xie Ming. The girl who used to be so cheerful, they turned her into a ruthless, sharp-tongued bitch in front of everyone.

  Even Liwei on the side was surprised seeing her outburst.

  Xinyi's eyes welled up as she stared at Xie Ming in disbelief. Even the last time when they met, Xie Ming was not as ruthless as now. Her words were truly sharp and cruel.

  " Sis……ter……why are you treating me like this? It was not my fault that I am a mistress's daughter. It was not only my mother's fault but our father's fault too. Then why do you treat me like trash? Even though I am an illegitimate child I am still innocent in this matter." Xinyi cried out while looking at Liwei from the side to know his reaction.

  "-_-"

  However, rather than looking at her, he was staring at Xie Ming in worry.

  Xie Ming sneered and said, " You're right. An illegitimate child is innocent when it comes to such things. However, you're not innocent at all. Did you forget the things you did to me? Your fault was not that you're an illegitimate child but your fault is that you're so evil to don't even care about anything else in front of your jealousy and greed."

  Her blood boils just about thinking how she left Xie Ming after seeing how that boy was molesting her. Not only that she made that guy say that it was Xie Ming who tried to harass him and when she didn't get anything she kicked him and injured him in frustration.

  " Xinyi, I said this before too but it seems like my words had no effect on you. Stay away from Liwei. He is my husband and you're just an employee. If you don't want to get fired then stay in your limits."

  Xinyi's lips quivered as she stared at Xie Ming with stunned expressions. She pursed her lips worried that she would tell Liwei what she had done to her in high school. And at this moment, he will definitely believe her.

  She pursed her lips and said in a low voice, " I didn't do anything. I just came to get a signature on this file. I don't know why are you making a scene out of nothing."

  " Hah? Do you think I am stupid? I heard everything that you said to Liwei. Do you think that you will come to him to say your nonsense and will get successful in your foolish plan? Never."

  " Xinyi, grow up. It's not good to keep an eye on someone else's man. Please don't be like your mother. If your mother would have thought twice about it then you wouldn't be standing in front of me and listening to hear me calling you illegitimate child."

  " So don't you dare hit on my husband again. If you have an ounce of self-respect left then stop your cheap tricks. You won't be able to get successful in your dirty tricks."

  "-_-"

  Xinyi stared at her in disbelief because Xie Ming was losing her cool for no particular reason.

  Tears rolled down her eyes as she felt miserable. Her words had hit her deep but it didn't mean she felt guilty. But it ignited the anger inside her causing hot tears to flow down her eyes.

  " Xie Ming, you're such a bitch." she spatted and ran out of the room while crying.

  "-_-"

  Gu Shao got scared standing outside the room and almost bumped into Xinyi who ran out of the room. Her face was in a mess as her makeup got ruined because of her tears.

  " That scared me." he patted his chest trying to calm his nerves down.

  The secretary pursed her lips seeing the way Xinyi ran away in tears.

  ' Seems like the lady boss is not someone to be dealt with casually.' she shook her head telling herself to be careful while dealing with her……

  After Xinyi left the room, Xie Ming sat on the bed in a daze. She sighed heavily as she held her head with her hands.

  This time she really lost her control. It seems like the emotions that were brewing inside her in the last few days, she poured everything on Xinyi. Even though she may be quite blunt, however, she didn't say anything wrong.

  " Feeling better?" Liwei snaked his hand around her waist and pulled her close to him.

  She put her head against his chest and nodded. It did feel good.

  " Did something happen? You seem to be down these days." he removed the hair from her face and put them behind her ears.

  She pursed her lips and said, " Nothing. I was just a little stressed from work. And when I heard her words, it made me angry to the point that I lost my cool."

  He didn't say anything and just hugged her tightly in his embrace.

  " I think I should call you Mrs. Fierce from Mrs. Jin. You didn't give her any face this time." he chuckled while rubbing her arm lovingly.

  She glared at him and pinched his waist, " You know you don't deserve to say anything here. Everything happened all because of you."

  " Because of me?"

  She nodded and said, " She was saying bad things to you about me but you were listening to them without saying anything. How can you hear someone insulting me, that too without saying a word?"

  He blinked at her innocently and replied, " I wasn't listening to her at that time."

  "-_-"
