Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

-Two Weeks Later-

Although the news about Xu Liqing’s wedding incidents had vanished from the news channels, there was no one in the elite circle who wasn’t gossiping about it.

Xu Liqing was kept in isolation to not let her harm anyone. The doctors have claimed that she had an unstable mental state and that’s why she was under strict supervision. While her mother, Fu Lan was still in a coma. The doctors weren’t very hopeful about her condition.

But neither the Fu family showed any concern about these two nor the Xu family. After the night of the incident, Xu Cheng didn’t even come to check up on their condition.

But he had genuine reasons for that. The Xu Corporation had fallen into chaos after everything that came to light about Xu Liqing. The company’s shares dropped since their reputation took a huge blow.

Xu Cheng had been busy trying to solve everything in the previous weeks.

"Sir, Old master asked to see you in his study," the maidservant informed Xu Cheng when he came home that night.

"Father, you want to discuss something," Xu Cheng entered the study room of his father and asked.

"I have invited Xiao Mey for lunch tomorrow. You better be there." Grandfather Xu informed his son.

Xu Cheng frowned, not knowing the intention of his father at all. But since he had already invited Xu Mey, Xu Cheng had no reason to argue. If nothing else, he thought he’ll have some time to spend with his daughter.

On the next day, the entire Xu Residence was engaged in preparing for the lunch since the early morning. One could say that it had been decades since the last time Xu Residence was this lively. Grandfather Xu had been ordering people around to make everything perfect and Xu Cheng was not at all surprised to see his father’s vigor.

Around half past twelve, Xu Mey arrived at the Xu Residence but she came alone. After hugging his favorite granddaughter, grandfather Xu questioned, "Where is your husband?"

"Ah-Jie had some important matter at hand." Xu Mey answered with a warm smile on her face.

"Come join us inside," Xu Cheng gestured for his daughter to come inside and when Xu Mey took a few steps further inside, she couldn’t help but be surprised.

"Dad, what happened to the house?" She noticed how the entire interior seemed different than the last time she visited. And oddly, seeing the combination of nature and art, Xu Mey was sure that it couldn’t be Fu Lan’s choice at all.

"Ah, this... I asked some people to change the interior. The old one reminded me too much of the woman who I wish never comes back to my life." Xu Cheng replied nonchalantly.

Xu Mey nodded her head but didn’t comment further. After they settled in the sitting area, Xu Mey turned to her grandfather, "Grandfather, why did you call for me? Is there something wrong?"

Grandfather Xu sighed heavily. "Have you heard about the predicaments of Xu Corporations?"

"Naturally... I believe everyone knows about it by now." Xu Mey answered and picked up a glass of juice for herself.

"I want you to join the company." Xu Mey spurted out the red grapes juice in her mouth and started coughing profusely.

"Xiao Mey? Are you okay?" Xu Cheng rubbed her back to soothe her. The words of his father were also very surprising for him but he didn’t mind it at all. Originally, Xu Mey was the true heir of their family business.

"I’m fine, dad." Xu Mey assured her father and he stopped stroking her back. Then she turned to her grandfather again, "Grandfather... I don’t even have any shares in the company."

Grandfather Xu scowled clearly unhappy with her words. "Who said that? The rightful heir doesn’t have any shares? Does that even make sense?" Xu Mey’s brows knitted together but before she could argue, grandfather Xu continued, "You silly granddaughter of mine! You had been the biggest shareholder of Xu Corporation from the moment you took your first breath."

"What?" Xu Mey’s eyes widened and she kept gaping.

Grandfather Xu patted her head saying, "Grandfather had already signed off his shares to you when you were born as for your father, even he gave you half of his shares but to hide this fact from Fu Lan, your dad kept your shares under a false identity."

Xu Mey tilted her head to look at her father smiling tenderly at her. "Xiao Mey, to be honest, there is no-one who can possibly challenge your authority in the whole company."

’What the hell? Why was I fighting for this long then? I wanted to seize the company since I didn’t have any shares in it. But who knew that I’d turn out be the biggest duffer for not knowing that the company was already mine, to begin with!’ Xu Mey had the urge to facepalm herself but because of her father and grandfather’s presence, she restrained herself from doing so.

"But dad and grandfather, what if the board members didn’t agree with your decision. After all, they don’t know me." Xu Mey voiced out her fears.

"Aiyoh! Our Xiao Mey has nothing to worry about. Those members could have argued until they didn’t know that you’re the president of Vintage Gems. Now, that the world knows it, they have nothing to use against you." Xu Cheng stroked her hair affectionately. "Also, even if they did question your talent, you can shut their mouths with your work and strength."

"Then it’s decided. This Monday, we’ll be appointing you as the CEO of the company." Xu Mey didn’t know how to react to this news. This was it! She had worked for so long to get her right in Xu Corporation and finally, she was getting what she wanted. Or perhaps, even more than what she wanted or needed.

"Do you both have faith in me?" Xu Mey asked a bit emotionally.

"We have full faith in you. After all, you are part of the Xu family. Business is in our blood from generations." Hearing her father’s words and seeing the trust in her grandfather’s eyes, Xu Mey was too overwhelmed with emotions. She hugged both men beside her.

"Thank you! Both of you. I won’t let you down at any cost. As for this small crisis, this is no big deal for your Xiao Mey." Xu Mey praised her own self shamelessly making them chuckle along with herself.

"Old master, the lunch is prepared." Hearing the maidservant’s voice, Xu Mey pulled away from their embrace.

"Let’s go and eat. I’m famished!" Xu Mey excitedly announced and hooked her arms with theirs. She pulled them both to the dining room with herself with a goofy smile on her face.

Today, she really felt like she was home. The home where her grandfather doted on her beyond compare and where her father always scolded her for making a mistake. She’d be lying if she said that she didn’t miss these moments with her father or grandfather. They both were the only blood relative she had and they mattered a lot to her.
