Zhuo Jingren hated the smell of cigarettes. He hated inhaling the thick and bitter scent, likened to burnt wood that would permeate the air, and linger on his clothes like scented deodorant. It was nothing but poison. Zhuo Jingren did not like to smoke but tonight was an exception. Zhuo Jingren watched as rings of smoke disappear in the cool breeze of the evening. It was eighteen minutes past seven and he still could not contain the twitching nerves in his stomach. He told his secretary that he would…

"President Qin... I’m sure President Zhuo is on his way." Secretary Go swallowed hard when he met Lily’s eyes. More than twenty minutes had passed since the agreed meeting time at seven in the evening and President Zhuo was still nowhere in sight. If not for President Zhuo having another bout of tantrum, refusing to enter the restaurant, Secretary Go would not have to feel so guilty while looking into Miss Qin’s eyes. "It’s okay, I understand." Lily smiled. It was completely understandable…

"Reject her," Zhuo Jingren scrunched his brows and balled his fist before turning his head away from his secretary. Like a teenager throwing a tantrum, his lips slowly morphed into a pout. "What took her secretary so long to call me? Reject her! Tell her I am extremely busy!" "President Zhuo this..." Secretary Go was speechless. Just days ago, President Zhuo was so eager for this call and even asked him to prepare the documents for the transfer of shares. Now that Miss Qin’s Secretary finally called…

Seeing that everyone was staring at her with rage apparent in their eyes, Lily straightened her back and also stared back at every single one of them. With the same beautiful smile plastered on her face, she confidently look into their eyes. Years ago, this family abandoned her at her lowest. Although, Lily was not really doing this on purpose... Scratch that. Of course, Lily was doing this on purpose. But she was not doing this because she still hated these people. She was just looking for a little…

Lily looked at Xuan Hui who yelled out her name. "Yes, Young Master Xuan?" "Call me Master Xuan!" he reprimanded. "My apologies... I have never heard of your father’s passing... so..." Lily immediately clasped her hands and looked up at the ceiling. To everyone’s surprise she closed her eyes and said, "May your soul rest in peace... Master Xuan." "Are you cursing my husband?" Qin Fei fumed. Xuan Hui had just asked her to call him Master Xuan, so how could she say something like this? "Huh?…

Lily raised an eyebrow at the lawyer’s words. It was not just Lily, but everyone in the family knew that Old Master Qin hated her while he was still alive. Since her mother came from an unknown background, Qin Hui, never liked Lily Qin as well. He turned a blind eye towards Tang Lingyun’s constant bullying of Bec Facci and even supported her in some ways. For years, Qin Hui hated Bec Facci for being a stain in the Qin family’s impeccable reputation. Of course, this hate was naturally directed towards…

"To my only son, Qin Mo, I leave my precious bottle of scotch that has been aged for more than fifty years, two of my properties in the South and five million US dollars from my funds." A small smile escaped Qin Mo’s lips. He believed that his mother would surely leave her shares and the remaining of her properties to either Qin Liwei or Qin Fei. Just like everyone else, Qin Mo also expected that his mother would not leave anything of value for Qin Jinghua. "To my daughter-in-law, Tang Lingyun, I…

Qin Fei instantly sneered when she heard her husband’s words. The hate in her eyes were so apparent that it made one wonder why she would hate her elder sister so much. Qin Fei remembered how she used to like Qin Jinghua when they were children. Just like any other younger sister, she used to run around and chase her like a little puppy. At the beginning, the two sisters used to play with each other. However, everything changed when Qin Fei saw her mother begging Bec Facci for her forgiveness one…

It was a fickle another Monday in June. One minute the sun was shining and the next, the sky became dark and gloomy. Lily stared at the pitter and patter of raindrops against the window of her beetle. It was almost nine in the morning and Lily knew that she was running late for the reading of the Will at the Qin family estate. "Still no word from the security company?" she asked Yang Mi who was driving. "Oh... they said that they will be sending one security personnel over this afternoon," Yang Mi…

"Ah Li! Didn’t I tell you not to cook for me? Do you know how bad your cooking is? Are you trying to poison me?" Lily did not know whether she wanted to laugh or cry at Li Shanshan’s words. Lily was supposed to buy some food back home for dinner but only after she had reached home that she realized that she had forgotten all about it. She blamed herself for having too many things on her mind. She called Yang Mi immediately, hoping to get her to run an errand but was informed by one of the directors…
