The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

Xia Meilin turned and looked at him. She pursed her lips, she didn’t know that he was actually inside the house already. She turned to Little Melon. "Wait for me in the kitchen with auntie Mo Jing, okay?"

Little Melon nodded before he went with Mo Jing to the kitchen.

Xia Meilin went and sat on the couch that was on the opposite of Lin Yiyang. She crossed her arms. "Why are you here?"

The middle-aged man, stared down at her before he sat back on his seat. "I want to talk to you about something."

"Is it about the Lin corporation?" Xia Meilin directly went straight to the point.

Lin Yiyang’s lips were stretched into a thin line when he heard her words. He stared into her eyes, refusing to look away from her. "Yes. What happened a few years ago is my brother and niece’s fault. They have gotten what they deserve and I am innocent from the scheme they made. I am a member of the Lin family and-"

"You want to take back the business that your family has established in this country, right?" Xia Meilin finished. "If that’s the case, then I am not the one you should talk with."

"She’s right. You should talk to me." Lu Yifeng’s voice was heard.

When they turned their heads, they saw him by the stairs. He walked towards Xia Meilin and sat beside her. "The Xia company is under me and so is the Lin corporation."

Lin Yiyang and Xia Meilin were surprised by what he suddenly said.

"Excuse me?" Lin Yiyang couldn’t believe his ears. Did he hear it right?

"I will not repeat myself." Lu Yifeng stared coldly at him, the way he looked at him made Lin Yiyang feel a shiver run down his spines. This made him back off.

Xia Meilin placed her hand on his arm, she couldn’t help but ask so she whispered, "What do you mean?"

Lu Yifeng held her hand and stroked the back of it with his thumb, "Trust me." He kissed her temple before he turned back to Lin Yiyang, the gentleness that he showed Xia Meilin was replaced by a cold look. Even if the transfer papers were still being processed by Xia Sinian, the fact that he gave the business to Lu Yifeng even if it’s just my call couldn’t be changed.

"M-Mr. Lu, I am only here to speak with your wife about-"

"The Lin corporation, right? Well, you don’t have to speak to her since I am the owner of it. You should be asking me for it, not my wife."

Lin Yiyang clenched his fists tight as he lowered his head. He was irritated by how this couple kept on cutting off his sentence.

The new information he learned is not what he got from his men. How can Xia Sinian give the Xia company and Lin corporation to Lu Yifeng? When did he do this? Was he even saying the truth or is he lying just to protect his wife? But this is Lu Yifeng! Why would he lie about something he can actually do?

"If there’s nothing else, Dong Hua will take you out." Lu Yifeng said as he rested his back against the couch.

"M-Mr. Lu... p-please reconsider..." Lin Yiyang pleaded as he looked at him.

"Why would I give you something of mine? My decision is final." Lu Yifeng turned to Dong Hua. "Take him out."

Dong Hua nodded, he went and approached Lin Yiyang. "Mr. Lin."

Just like what Lu Yifeng expected, Lin Yiyang wasn’t brave enough to go against him because he knows that facing Lu Yifeng will put him into an unfavorable position.

After Lin Yiyang left the luxurious house that was by the hillside, he took his phone out.

"The Lin corporation now belongs to Lu Yifeng, we will not be able to get it back from him." Lin Yiyang said through gritted teeth.

A chuckle coming from a woman was heard, "Then we just need to force him."

"Are you crazy? He’s a Lu!"

"So what? We just need to strike his Achilles heel; his wife and son." The mellow tone of the woman’s voice made Lin Yiyang chuckle. "That won’t be easy but that won’t be hard either. I’m pretty sure that my men can accomplish something like that."

"Xia Meilin is mine to kill so you are only allowed to capture her, not to touch her, okay?"

"Her family is the one that destroyed mine, I can’t let her go unharmed." Lin Yiyang spat coldly, his eyes full of hatred. "The Xia family will have to pay!"

"We’re riding the same boat, Mr. Lin, but like what I said before, I will be the one who kills every member of the Xia family."
