Chapter 458 - 439: Ripping What You Sow-I
Weeks ago, during the day of Senior Mrs. Xie’s birthday, Li Lian had come up with her idea. What she bet on was her grandmother’s fondness of her and she knew it was low of her to do this while knowing that her grandmother love her, but sometimes being low is what need for one to win.
’Which why, I hope grandmother can sell your stock in Xie Company to me," Li Lian said, clasping her hands together, "I know you would need time, I won’t force you and I hope you understand that I love you. I didn’t do this purely out of revenge-"
Her grandmother had placed a hand on her clenched fingers that had her to stop talking. Senior Mrs. Xie them showed her a tender smile.
"You don’t have to explain, Li Lian. I understand," her grandmother said, her eyes glazed with a drop of tear, "I had not plan to vanquish my hold over the stock either to anyone, not even your father. Of course, I had planned to pass everything that originally came from his father to him, but then I had to witness what he does to his own daughter and as a mother, I know I cannot allow that. He is my son but before all you are also my granddaughter. My poor granddaughter," the elder woman said, holding Li Lian’s cheek, she shake her head when she sympathize with everything Li Lian had went through. "I wasn’t able to help you and for that I continue to feel guilty upon hearing your death. Seeing you again here is all I have in my prayer and God hear it. Do what you see fit. I only wish you won’t regret it."
"I will give them a chance, grandmother," Li Lian said to put an ease to her grandmother’s heart.
"I wish for them to use the chance, but I doubt they would be able to," her grandmother answered with worry marring her expression.
Getting back to the present, Li Lian crossed her hand upon entering. Her soulful greeting seemed to caused some of her father’s hair to turn black from the shock. "What are you doing here?!" Mr. Xie demanded in shock. He could put the pieces together from Elder Fu’s words but didn’t want to believe it.
Li Lian noted how her father kept denying the reality and shake her head, "One seat is empty, isn’t it? That seat belong to me."
"What do you mean?" Mrs. Xie stood from her chair, her expression filled with disbelief. "No way. Did mother gave all her stock to you?"
