Meng Xiao had been on the phone with Nick for a long time. When she hung up the phone, she suddenly realized that Old Master Meng had called her three times.
She was still very afraid of Old Master Meng, so she quickly called him back. âHello, Grandpa, whatâs the matter?â
âWho were you talking to?â Old Master Meng asked. âWhy did it take more than half an hour?â
Meng Xiaoâs face was covered in sweat. She lied. âItâs a friend from overseas. I havenât seen her for a long time, so she called to ask about my recent situation.â
Old Master Meng didnât quite believe it. âIt canât be your boyfriend, right?â
Meng Xiaoâs heart jumped to her throat. She hurriedly said, âNo, no. Heâs not my boyfriend. Heâs just a good friend.â She couldnât expose her relationship with Nick, or her grandfather would make sure that Nick disappeared from the entertainment industry.
Old Mr. Meng did not pursue the matter any further. Regardless of whether Meng Xiao had a boyfriend or not, it was impossible for them to be together.
âThereâs a banquet tomorrow. Iâve prepared a few sets of clothes for you. Come back and try them on.â Old Master Meng instructed.
Attending a banquet was a very normal thing, so Meng Xiao did not think too much about it. âOkay, Iâll be right back.â
After hanging up the phone, Meng Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her grandfather did not pursue the matter. Otherwise, he would not know how to hide it.
The new assistant beside her walked in. She held a large stack of documents and said to Meng Xiao, âDirector Meng, these are the documents that needs to be signed by you today. Please take a look.â
Meng Xiao had a headache when she saw the densely packed documents. She had never read so many words when she was in university. Now that she was asked to read them again, she could not read them at all.
âLeave it here. Iâll come back tomorrow to take a look.â Meng Xiao said.
The new assistant said, âCEO Meng, itâs not time to get off work yet. You canât leave yet. Moreover, these documents are more important. You should read them first before you leave.â
Meng Xiao was very angry. âAm 1 the boss or are you the boss? 1 want to leave now. Can you stop me?â
The new assistant was placed by Old Master Meng beside Meng Xiao. She was not afraid of Meng Xiaoâs criticism at all. âDirector Meng, these are all instructed by Old Master Meng. I hope you can finish the matter as soon as possible.â
Meng Xiao picked up the phone and shook it a few times. âItâs the old master who called me to go back now. I didnât want to go back by myself.â
When the new assistant saw the call log, she did not say anything else. âSure but I hope you can come over early tomorrow and settle the matter.â
Meng Xiao left the office building in a huff. She would fire this new assistant sooner or later, lest she report her situation to the old man.
When she returned home, Meng Xiao was still angry. She disliked everyone, and the servants at home did not dare to provoke her. This was because Meng Xiao had been highly valued by the old master recently, so they had to coax her a little.
âYouâre back.â Old Master Meng glanced at Meng Xiao. âGo upstairs and tidy up. See if those gowns fit. Youâre attending a banquet tomorrow. I have something for you to do.â
âGrandpa, what do you need me to do?â asked Meng Xiao.
Old Master Meng did not hide it from her. âThe Zhuang familyâs head, Zhuang Liu, and the Tao familyâs eldest young master, Tao Zhi, will be attending tomorrow nightâs banquet. I want you to dress up beautifully and take down one of them.â
When Meng Xiao heard that she had to seduce someone, she immediately became angry. âGrandpa, I donât like either of them. Why do I have to be with them? I wonât do it!â
Old Master Meng snorted coldly. âThen just wait and see how Nick ends up worse than a beggar.â
Meng Xiaoâs eyes widened. âGrandpa, what are you talking about?â
Old Master Meng didnât waste any more time with her. âWhether you want to go or not, itâs up to you.â
Meng Xiao was very worried about Nick. Moreover, it was not easy for Nick to get to where he was today. If Old Master Meng wanted to destroy him, it would only take a moment. She could not let Nikes be destroyed.
âAlright, 1 promise you that 1 will try my best to take down one of them.â Meng Xiao clenched his fists and said. She had to calm Old Master Meng down first. As for what happened after that, she would take it one step at a time.
Old Master Meng smiled. âThatâs my good granddaughter! Youâre a smart child. I believe youâll do better than your sister.â
Meng Xiao lowered her head. âIâll be good..â
