We Are Destined - Let Me Pamper You

Xiu Mei was bewildered for a second, her head snapped to look over her shoulder. "Ah! Mr. Zeng" Before Zeng Shihong could react, the little girl was in his arms, hugging him as if hugging her favorite teddy bear.

"Mr. Zeng, I missed you so so so much" Zeng Shihong heard her saying. A satisfied smile crawled on his lips, he turned ten years younger, and at that moment he looked just like a pampered grandfather. Only he knows how much he missed this Santa Clause hug that she gives him every time they met. If he could get this daily dose then there would be no need for those bitter medicines.

His eyes watered up as he lovingly hugged his granddaughter back, and closed his eyes to capture this feeling forever. When Xiu Mei tried to pull herself away from the hug, he didn't allow her. "Are you in a hurry Little Mei?"

"No, Mr. Zeng"

"Then let me hug you properly. Don't know if I'll get the chance again or not"

"Mr. Zeng, nothing will happen to you. Not until X gives you half a dozen of grandkids" She lifted her head up and winked at Zeng Shihon. Giving a burst of heartfelt laughter, old man ruffled her hair lovingly.

Lu Xion "…."

"Miss. Xiu Mei, how many times I've told you, not to talk to me about this topic" Xion snarled at her and she pouted her lips at the old man as if complaining to him.

"You better control that tone of yours" Zeng Shihong chided Xion when he saw his precious granddaughter's face.

Seeing the granddaughter and grandfather duo, Xion helplessly rolled his eyes and then gestured something with his eyes to Zeng Shihong.

"Mei, come sit with me for some time. I want to talk to you" wrapping his arms around her shoulder, Zeng Shihong made her sit beside him on the couch. Xiu Mei thoughtfully poured a glass of water for him, but she avoided his watchful gaze. "Have some water Mr. Zeng. In this age, you should keep yourself hydrated"

Zeng Shihong gently lifts Xiu Mei's chin up. "Do you think by averting your eyes, you can run away from my questions?"

Hearing this, Xiu Mei's heart began to beat faster. She lowered her gaze and fidgeted with her fingers. "It's not that I'm avoiding your questions, Mr. Zeng. I just don't want to answer any question about my past. I'm really thankful for your help in the past, I'll always be. But this is my battle and I prefer to fight it at my own set rules without outside interference"

"Outside interference? And here I thought we are family. So stupid of this old man…" Without taking a sip of water he placed the glass back onto the table.

With trembling hands Xiu Mei rubbed the old man's arm, "You know it's not what I mean… Please, Mr. Zeng, don't make things difficult for me"

Zeng Shihong felt as if his heart was being ripped into pieces. Her soft meek voice, lowered the gaze, trembling hands, everything was a painful jab on his heart. With his other hand, he rubbed his c.h.e.s.t in the hopes of letting the pain subsides.

Seven years back when they found her, he had personally witnessed her near death state. After reaching the hospital her heart nearly stopped beating, if they were late by a few more minutes, she would probably have not make it through.

That scary night still haunts him in dream… His eyes became darker thinking about the culprits. Who dared to touch her? Taking a deep breath he calmed down her emotions. "Fine! I won't ask you any question about that night. But we are already halfway through the information about Kong's, can you complete this information?…. Consider this as my request."

"Mr. Zeng!"

"It's a request my child… Only you can complete this information"

Xiu Mei nodded her head reluctantly when Zeng Shihong said it like this.

Hiding the endless dark abyss in his eyes, Lu Xion leaned forward to hear her story.

She explained to them everything about her stay with Kong Zhi and later with Kong Da. What makes her run away from their house, how Butler Xavier helped her and before leaving the Kong house how she transferred Kong Zhi's property to a trust for orphans. Obviously, she didn't include any details about Infinity Software and how it ended up with Feng Corporation.

Zeng Shihong and Lu Xion heard her with infinite patience as she keeps on revealing facts about her childhood. While the truth was that they wanted to seize Kong's and drag them to their underworld torture room without any further delay. Those morons treated her like an unwanted trash for ten years.

"Mei, did Kong's torture you that night?" Lu Xion cannot stop himself from asking this.

After a long pause, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "No! The one who tortured me are not Kong's, b-but I won't deny their involvement in the entire process. Probably they allied with someone more dangerous"

Xiu Mei's gaze drifted to the trash can where she had tossed the CD, she made an ugly face thinking about Kong's, "When I ran from their home that night I thought it's over between me and Kong family forever. Unaware of the fact, that they were aware of my whereabouts in country Y, looking for an opportunity to attack me like a coward"

With a fierce determination she looked into Zeng Shihong's eyes and gave a sinister smile, "But this time I'm going to get them. During this 67th Business Summit, there will be no Alice but Xiu Mei standing against those Kong's"

"Great…. I'll ask Wu Zixin to make the necessary arrangements. I'm accompanying you on this trip to help you" Lu Xion took out his phone and was about to call his assistant when Xiu Mei stopped him.

She looked at him with the same commanding aura that Zeng Shihong showed him a while ago. "No need Lu Xion! I'm not a cripple who needs someone's support. You better keep yourself away from this, otherwise, I won't be polite to you"
