Chapter 26: Chapter 26

The car drove quite a distance, then the soul returned.  The first consciousness is to beat the pervert's beauty and slap my ass.  Raising my hand in defense, I turned around, the last step was to hit him in the face but I couldn't do it.  I lowered my arms and returned to the starting position.  You are the one who slapped my ass.  Not a mutant name at all.

“You told me to sit still and wait for you, but why are you running around like that?  What if he catches you?"  He yelled at me.  This is the first time he yelled at me so loudly.  He is very angry.

"I'm sorry!  When I was sitting at the coffee shop waiting for you, I saw him appear to talk to Mrs. Emma Howard.  My thought at that time was to run away so that he could not catch me.  Due to my negligence, I bumped into his bodyguard.  He recognized me and started the chase.”  My voice grew smaller and smaller and quieter.

"I'm sorry to scold you, just because I was so worried about you!"  He softened his voice.  I understand that.

"No problem.  But why did you cover your mouth and drag me out, and also slap my ass, it hurts so bad."  I reproach.

"I did it so you wouldn't scream, you kept squirming and struggling, that's why I did it."  He replied as if he had.  Inadequate reasons.

I was angry and angry, just because I wanted to run away, I was scolded, knowing that, I sat still.  He looked at me, patted his head and ordered:

"From now on you can't go shopping anymore, if you want to go, I will go with you, not alone, you know?"

"Know!"  I replied.  He patted my head with satisfaction, besides patting it, he didn't do anything else or something.

Today I am at home, not going to the corporation because all my plans have been and are progressing very well.  I was leisurely at home learning how to bake cakes with the maid.  Scramble eggs, stir dough, my face is now more than a cat.  It is smeared with powder.  Now it's time to make ice cream, strawberry ice cream, chocolate ice cream, vanilla ice cream, etc. It's too much flavor, I'm fumbling about which one to put together when the TV broadcasts the news "What's hot today?  ".

First message board, nothing to say.  Second message board, bullshit.  The third message board, I stood dumbfounded.

What is it saying?

"The son of multinational corporation Minh Thien Simon will be engaged to the young lady of the radio station Myouin in February next year."  February next year?  Engagement?  Simon and Myouin?  Oh my god, did I hear that wrong?  Maybe Myouin will be my son's stepmother.  My arms hang loosely, the aromatherapy bottles free-fall and crash to the ground.  Have I lost someone I love?

Yes, I've lost Simon, but as for Leo, I'm determined to get it back.  Leo was the only thing Simon gave me.  Before his engagement, Leo had to come back to me.

Just the other day I was dumbfounded with the engagement bulletin, it's already December.  My friends are busy preparing for Christmas and Chinese New Year, Simon's family is preparing for a big engagement and I am not like them, I am taking steps to bring down Evee Ynes Burberry Corporation step by step.  .  My plan has come to the last step, Mr. Robert Wang is very troubled because investors withdraw their capital one after another.

I see what he will do when everything he has built for decades will crumble to dust within a single note.  It's not that I'm cruel, it's that I show you what you deserve.

My aunt called from abroad to tell me to stop the crazy thing we were doing again, but she failed.  You and I firmly stand our ground.  I had to give up.  Last Sunday, my aunt's personal lawyer came to read the will she wrote.

This corporation will belong to my brothers, we will sit together as co-chairs.  It is said that an empire cannot have two kings, but I think if the two kings cooperate, the empire will grow more and more.  The amount of property aunt has will be divided between us brothers and sisters and aunt will live abroad.

I take a sip of red wine, the acrid taste seeping into the tip of my tongue, going quickly down my throat.  Since when I no longer drink hot cocoa, I no longer wear a ponytail, my eyes no longer have innocence I don't know.

Everything about me has changed, my long, curly hair falling down to my back, sharp, cold eyes filled with sadness.  My eyes are as deep as digging into the hearts of the beholder.  Outwardly cold and strong, but no one knows, every night I hug my pillow and cry silently.

"How are you?"  He stood in front of me, his face firm, cold but somewhat gloomy.  Her arms crossed over her chest, waiting for my answer.

"Nothing, I'm just a little sad!"  I stood up and poured him a glass of wine.

"Why are you sad, isn't the plan about to succeed?"  he asked.

"I'm not upset about that!"  I handed him a glass of wine, and he took it and took a small sip.

“You miss Simon and Leo?”

“Yes, I haven't seen them for a few months.  No matter how cold, no matter how strong, I'm just a woman.  Endurance is over the limit!”  Tears rolled down my cheeks.  He put the wine glass on the table and gently wiped the tears away with his hand.

"Do not Cry!"  He said softly.

"I wouldn't have lost Simon or Leo without him, he's the one who did all this!"  Recalling it only makes me more hateful.  Suddenly, Myouin's words flashed in my head that day.  “And her too!”

"Who?"

"Myouin."  I gritted my teeth and said her name.  He gently hugged me in his arms, next to him, I felt so small.  With you, everything around me is so peaceful.  I put my head on his shoulder, didn't cry, didn't say anything.  Just so silent.

I sit and watch the stock lines of the Evee Ynes Burberry corporation, neither fast nor slow, but a subtle person will notice its change.  Moving slowly to red, well done, just in time for me to throw the final trump card.  This gamble, see as he lost everything.  Robert Wang, Phuong Ly, Kristen, three people will go out.

Robert Wang, because he lived so cruelly, his wife and children suffered the same fate.  Phuong Ly, she is too weak, considers her husband to be the best.  Because of her husband, forgetting about bloodline, Kristen, if you can change it, I can change it. If you only despise me, now I will let people despise you.  Everything has its price.

“You’re always on my mind…”

“Hello” I answered the phone, something changed, but my phone ringtone remained the same song.

“Coffee without you?”  Anne called me, it's been a while since she called, I thought she'd put me into oblivion.

"Um, where?"  I ask.

“Duck Nuts on the Side of the Road!”  Is his coffee here?  If you want to eat duck seeds, say big, why arrange to invite coffee and firecrackers and then give the address to people so shocked.  After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone.  I sighed.

Standing up, I go home to change, can't wear this business suit to eat on the street.  I chose ripped jeans and a dynamic round neck pullover.  Padded soles made me a few inches taller.

Meet at the rendezvous, it has finished eating two eggs.

"Why are you so slow?"  It asked me.

“I have to change my clothes!”  I answer.  Sitting down I ordered a marinated duck with gizzards.

"Wow, you're so different now, prettier than when you were in school!"  It grabbed my hair and looked at me, squeezing my face.  When will this child stop this violent habit.  “You're so pretty, but Simon left you to be engaged to Myouin!  It really doesn't make any sense!"

I silently sat down to eat, thinking that this wound had healed, but now that Anne mentioned it, it would bleed again.  Time doesn't seem to be enough for me to forget this heartbreak.  It's not my fault, it's not Simon's fault, it's those wicked people.  Because of them, my little family broke up as if it never existed.

After a while of rambling and gossiping from one shop to another with Anne's daughter, I said goodbye to her and went home.  The reason is he called.  I do not take a taxi or a bus, the means of transport I choose to return to "Shanghai".  Walking from street to street, looking at happy families holding hands, my heart aches.  I stopped at an intersection waiting for the light.

"Buy sugar candies?"  An old lady selling sugar candy invited me.

"Get me two trees, grandma!"  I bought two plants, this is my favorite.  As I turned my back, I bumped into a man and woman.  I bow my head apologetically.

“Are you okay?  Let me give you two other trees, grandma, get me two!"  That young man also apologized to me.  “Here, here is yours!”  The young man gave me two new candies.  I reached out my hand to take it.

"Thanks, I'm fine!"  I looked up.  The moment their eyes met, time seemed to stand still.  Not because the young man was handsome or anything, but that the young man was once a stranger-Simon.  My gaze fell on his arm, another arm was wrapped around his-Myouin.  My heart throbbed.

“Brittany, I…” He trailed off.

“How are you, stranger you used to know?”  I forced a smile.

"I'm fine.  And you?"

“I'm…well too.  Leo…Leo… how are you… how are you?”  My voice caught in my throat.  I don't know why it's so hard for me to pronounce right now.

"I'm fine, he knows how to call his mother and he keeps asking for me!"  he said.  I smile, my child knows how to call mom.  It still remembers me.

"Let's go, we still buy a lot of things!"  Myouin pulled Simon's hand, she didn't like me like I didn't like her.  The two of them passed by me, this feeling…so unpleasant.  I stood still in place, everyone also passed me, no one noticed the child standing here and tears were falling like rain.

Today is a very important day for Sartun Group Warren Beatty, the day the corporation has a new president.  Since early morning, journalists have gathered in the meeting room of the corporation.  At the head of the table there are two chairman chairs that make everyone wonder.

At eight o'clock, everyone was in the meeting room.  Everyone's face was quite tense.

“Please pay attention here!”  A voice over the microphone quite loud made the noisy meeting room suddenly become strangely silent.  "The following is the appearance of the new chairman of Sartun Group Warren Beatty, Nguyen Baekhyun, Nguyen Brittany."  Every flash blinks continuously when you and I appear.  I smiled slightly, he was the same, his face was cold.

“Why are there two presidents?  Why is that?”  Journalists swarmed.

"Quiet!  Everyone is probably wondering why a corporation has two presidents as well as a country has two kings.  This story never existed before, but from today, one land and two kings will be normal.  I think all this time people always see me appearing with Baekhyun at big meetings but they don't know who I am.  My name is Nguyen Brittany, from today, I will replace Ms. Tran Luu Noire Wang to run Sartun Warren Beatty Group  with Mr. Nguyen Baekhyun.  Hope everyone cooperates to make our corporation grow more and more.”  When I finished speaking, applause broke out.

Today's launch was extremely smooth, with no surprises or objections.  I gently sat in the chair at the age of nineteen.  All rapid changes.

I took a bite of the jelly he made and leisurely watched the economic bulletin board.

“Today, Sartun Warren Beatty  has a big change in the operating organization, that is, changing the chairman.  It is worth mentioning here that Sartun Warren Beatty has two presidents and Ms. Brittany - granddaughter of Mrs. Noire Wang is also one of those two presidents.  This can be considered a unique change in Swiss economic history.  And Miss Brittany was only nineteen years old, a truly gifted youth.  Simultaneously with the change of president of Sartun Warren Beatty, the multinational corporation Evee Ynes Burberry declared bankruptcy after a long time fighting with losses and losses.  Sartun Warren Beatty   once declared war on Evee Ynes Burberry, now Sartun Warren Beatty   changed president, Evee Ynes Burberry went bankrupt.  All domestic and foreign investors are asking a big question mark as to whether Evee Ynes Burberry's bankruptcy is partly due to the two new presidents of Sartun Warren Beatty  or not.”

"Great!"  I clapped my hands.  "Wonderful!"

“As we expected, you are really cool!”  He ate a piece of jelly and smiled slightly.  Two things have shaken the Swiss economic market today.  Robert Wang, in this game, he lost everything.

“Now is the time!”

"What?"

“Regain Leo!”

"Mrs Emma Howard, Miss Brittany wants to see you for a moment."  My assistant is talking to Emma Howard.  Honestly, I don't know what the old lady said, but the secretary's face was tense.  Look at me from time to time.

“Yes, Vong cafe!  Thank you, see you there at ten o'clock!"  The secretary hung up the phone.  "She agreed to meet the president!"

"Very good!"  I smile.

I entered the shop with the appearance of a player rather than a president.  She was waiting there.  I walked over and smiled at her.

“Do you know how precious my time is?  You're five minutes late!"  She got mad at me.

"Sorry ma'am, my time is just as valuable as yours."  I sarcastic.

“What do you want to see me for?”  She asked, acknowledged that she acted really well, kept my child and asked me what I met her for.
