Rain.
'Lucy, I love you,' Quan Wen said.
'Quan Wen, you're crazy,' Lucy said. 'I'm your big sister.'
Quan Wen saw Lucy as his woman. He kissed her red lips.
'Quan Wen!' Lucy said. 'Wake up!'
Lucy pushed Quan Wen away. By the time she took two steps, he pulled her on the floor and he laid on top of her.
'I loved you for years,' Quan Wen said. 'Now grandpa's gone, there is no one to stop me from being with you.'
Quan Wen kissed Lucy's neck. She was repulsed by him. She couldn't escape from under his heavy body. When he was about to kiss her lips again, she slapped his cheek.
'Get off me!' Lucy said. 'Get out! I don't want to see your face again.'
Quan Wen hated seeing Lucy cry. He got off her, and stood.
'I don't regret what I did today,' Quan Wen said.
Lucy sat on the floor and cried. She didn't want to lose her grandpa, and she didn't know why her little brother suddenly overstepped their sibling relationship. She grabbed her phone, and she called Zhen Wu.
'Zhen Wu...' Lucy called.
'Lucy, what happened?' Zhen Wu asked.
Lucy didn't want Zhen Wu to know what Quan Wen did because she knew Zhen Wu wouldn't forgive Quan Wen.
'Zhen Wu, grandpa only has a couple of days left,' Lucy said. 'I'm scared. Why does death want to take my grandpa away this soon?'
'Lucy, one day we'll be old too,' Zhen Wu said.
'Zhen Wu, you're not allowed to leave me first,' Lucy said.
'I'll do my best,' Zhen Wu said.
'We'll it kill you to say some comforting words to me?' Lucy asked.
'Lucy, go to sleep,' Zhen Wu said. 'You need energy to take care of grandpa.'
'Goodnight,' Lucy said.
Zhen Wu couldn't sleep after he received Lucy's phone. He sensed she was hiding something from him, because she didn't want to worry him. He walked to Yue Ni's study room, knocked on the door and sat on the sofa. Yue Ni was holding a polar bear and looking at her laptop.
'I want to know what happened to Lucy,' Zhen Wu said.
'Big brother, now you know why I need to secretly protect everyone,' Yue Ni said.
Zhen Wu didn't fall for Yue Ni's trap like Huyen Di. He took out his phone and threatened to call Shu Tang Li.
'Xiao Ni, do you want to know how happy Xiao Li will be when I tell him where you'll be tomorrow?' Zhen Wu asked.
'I surrender,' Yue Ni said.
Yue Ni grabbed Zhen Wu's phone, and she showed him footage of what happened to Lucy in Italy. She knew Zhen Wu would sell her to Shu Tang Li in order to protect Lucy.
Zhen Wu thumped the desk, and Yue Ni took several steps back. She knew people who made Zhen Wu lose his temper were unlucky people, Quan Wen was going to suffer.
On a rainy day in Italy, Lucy wore a black dress and she listened to the priest read the funeral rites for Dawson Brenda. She didn't know how long she cried that day. Her grandpa was gone. She had no one left to hold an umbrella for her, and protect her.
Lucy didn't know how she got home. She sat in Dawson Brenda's study room. She used to love sitting with her grandpa, reading a book while he worked. But the room was no longer warm, because her grandpa wasn't coming back.
Lucy heard a knock on the door. She wiped her tears and sat upright.
'Come in,' Lucy said.
'Young mistress Lucy,' a lawyer said. 'I'm Dawson Brenda's lawyer. I came here to read his will he left to his family.'
'Go ahead,' Lucy said.
Lucy's relatives and Quan Wen walked into the room. She no longer could treat Quan Wen like her little brother. Quan Wen had become a stranger to her after what he did to her.
'Hurry up and read the will,' Kelly said. 'I want to hear what I inherited so I can leave.'
'I'm sorry,' the lawyer said. 'I need to wait until all of Dawson Brenda's relatives are here before I can read the will.'
'Who are you waiting for?' Kelly asked.
Kelly didn't want to share her inheritance with more people.
A twenty-year-old man in a suit ran into the room and bowed.
'I'm sorry I'm late and made everyone wait,' Hua Xi Tong said.
'Everyone's here now,' the lawyer said.
'Wait,' Kelly said. 'What is this little boy doing here?'
'According to Dawson Brenda's will, Hua Xi Tong is Gal Brenda and Hua Xiang Xiang's son,' the lawyer said. 'Hua Xi Tong is Dawson Brenda's grandson, he has a right to be here.'
'What?' Kelly asked. 'Gal Brenda has a bastard son? I want proof.'
'Here's the DNA results,' the lawyer said. 'Hua Xi Tong is Dawson Brenda's grandson.'
'Great-aunt Kelly, if this is grandpa's will then we should respect grandpa's decision,' Lucy said.
Kelly knew her big brother Dawson Brenda loved Lucy the most, and Lucy would be the CEO of Dawson's company. She didn't argue with Lucy, because she would be living off Lucy in the future.
'Dawson Brenda wants Kelly Brenda to inherit Dawson Brenda's mansion in England,' the lawyer said. 'Sixty percent of Dawson's company shares will be given to Lucy. If Lucy's future husband agrees then twenty percent will be given to Hua Xi Tong, and Quan Wen will receive the remaining twenty percent.'
'The will is a fake!' Kelly said. 'Why would he want to give forty percent of the shares to a bastard grandson and an adopted grandson?'
Kelly thought it was unfair. She was Dawson Brenda's little sister, but she only received a puny mansion.
'I'm sorry this is all written in Dawson Brenda's will,' the lawyer said.
'Great-aunt Kelly, be reasonable,' Lucy said. 'The mansion in England is worth a couple of millions. Think about it. While grandpa was alive, you never once came here to visit me and grandpa. Grandpa is too generous to give you a mansion.'
'Lucy,' Quan Wen called.
'Mr Quan, call all of Dawson's company directors to attend a meeting tomorrow at Dawson's company headquarters,' Lucy said. 'Mr Hua, follow me to my study room.'
Hua Xi Tong followed Lucy, and Kelly was happy to see Lucy put Quan Wen in his place.
'Little boy, don't dream about receiving a dollar from Dawson's company,' Kelly said. 'You're only an adopted grandson. Lucy is the rightful heir.'
In Lucy's study room, she poured Hua Xi Tong a glass of water.
'Are you Hua Xi Tong?' Lucy asked.
'Yes,' Hua Xi Tong said.
'Is your mother Mandarin?' Lucy asked.
'Yes,' Hua Xi Tong said.
'My mum is Mandarin too,' Lucy said. 'I'm not angry at you. I'm shocked my dad has a son with another woman. My grandpa told me my dad loved my mum.'
'I understand,' Hua Xi Tong said.
'I won't contest my grandpa's will,' Lucy said. 'You're my little brother. In the future come and see me if you need any help.'
Lucy was grateful to meet her little brother. It made her feel less alone since her grandpa died.
'Thank you big sister,' Hua Xi Tong said.
After Dawson Brenda died, the atmosphere at Dawson's company was tensed. The directors' support were divided between Lucy and Quan Wen. If Quan Wen was CEO, it would be easier for them to eliminate him than Lucy who was Dawson Brenda's legitimate granddaughter.
During the meeting at Dawson's company, some directors threatened to quit if Quan Wen wasn't made CEO.
'Young mistress Lucy, Quan Wen contributed a lot to Dawson's company over the years,' a director said. 'He has a right to be CEO. If you don't resign then we'll resign.'
Lucy wasn't surprised the greedy directors betrayed her. But she had to consider the livelihood of Dawson's company's employees. She couldn't destroy everything Dawson Brenda built because her pride stopped her from resigning.
In the lowest moment of Lucy's life, the meeting room door opened and Zhen Wu walked into the room.
'If everyone wants to resign then go ahead,' Zhen Wu said.
Zhen Wu wore a black suit, and he gave off an intimidating aura. He walked to Lucy, kissed her forehead and sat next to her.
'Lucy, I'm sorry I'm late,' Zhen Wu said.
'Zhen Wu, you're on time,' Lucy said.
'Lucy, I hate wearing suits,' Zhen Wu whispered in Lucy's ear. 'Later you have to compensate me.'
Quan Wen saw Lucy blushed, and he couldn't control his jealousy.
