Chapter 457 - 438: Tearing The Facade-III
"Sir, I clearly think we are not suppose to do this," said one man with get all over his face. The man who had spoken was the person who had spent almost ten years of his life working in Xie Company. Now, he was in great worry, seeing how Mr. Xie had ordered the secretary to summon all the shareholders.
"It is time," Mr. Xie said, turning to face the man with a frown, "My mother isn’t young anymore. My daughter is still young and she won’t be able to take over the company. It is only right that I take mother’s position as the CEO and ease her burden."
Ease her burden? The man wanted to blatantly shake his head in front of Mr. Xie as they both know his reason was solely for money and the position.
"The shareholders have been a great friend to Senior Mrs. Xie, they won’t take is kindly if you propose the idea when we are yet to know her current condition. Please you should-" the man immediately stopped his mouth upon seeing Mr. Xie’s eyes narrowing dangerously.
"I think we both understand who is the director here. I am in the position to make the decision and you are the one who obey my decision," pressed Mr. Xie, unhappy that the man kept on giving him instructions and suggestion when he believes he knows everything better than anyone.
The man had many things to say, but he also feared to be fired from the company, therefore took the silence approach and nodded his head. Once the man retire, Mr. Xie scoffed, walking toward the room where his wife was, "How is Hue Lin?" Mr. Xie asked.
"Nanny Xi said she has just fallen asleep. She didn’t sleep for the entire night and finally fall asleep because of the fatigue," Mrs. Xie said, pressing her head she looked paler than yesterday which Mr. Xie noticed. "I am not feeling well as well."
"You should rest," Mr. Xie said and he went to his wife, placing his hands on her shoulders, "Yes, you look very pale right now, did you eat?" and when Mrs. Xie shook her head, Mr. Xie quickly raised his hand to call his subordinates, telling them to bring porridge that would be easy for his wife to eat. Seeing Mrs. Xie’s pale face, Mr. Xie begin to feel ashamed for doubting his wife.
For the past few days, Mr. Xie contemplate about Li Lian’s words. He had suspected his wife and second daughter, finding that they were truly grave-stricken by shock and sadness upon witnessing Senior Mrs. Xie fell from the stairs, drenched with blood. He began to mend his trust, believing that the two had nothing to do with his mother’s death, after all unlike Li Lian, they wouldn’t benefit anything, the man assumed, unaware of the truth.
