A Billion Dollar Exchange

115 Someone his heart beats for

Liu Wei felt as though he had heard a funny joke. He couldn't help but laugh.

As the parlour resounded with his laughter, Mr Zang and Da Xia watched him in annoyance.

"Father, is that the important thing you needed to discuss with me?, you could have just said it over the phone than to waste your time and energy coming over here."

Liu Wei said after sometime. After a brief silence he continued again.

"I don't want to beat around the bush. I won't marry Da Xia. But if you so much want her in the family, by all means, go ahead and marry her, besides your wife is late... "

Mr Zang nearly coughed out blood hearing what Liu Wei just said. That was the first time in years he had ever gone against him. The first time he had said no to his commands.

"FA LIU WEI!!! "

Mr Zang screamed. He was almost trembling in anger. Da Xia had to hold his arm to calm him down. Liu Wei didn't say anything else, he just casually watched them as though he had said nothing wrong.

"It's not negotiable Son, It's a command! "

With that Mr Zang stood up, Da Xia followed after him, she made sure not to look at Liu Wei.

She regretted ever coming to his house to witness a father and son argue over her.

The both of them left his house which returned the parlour to its usual quietness.

These few weeks, she had been close to Liu Wei's father. She accompanied him to parties and public occasions and he had introduced her as his daughter in-law. This made her get important contacts and earn respect respect from the circle.

These few days, he had asked her if she was getting along with his son, Liu Wei very well. Da Xia had wanted to lie as usual but she felt she needed his help.

Even though Liu Wei wasn't giving her that cold shoulder, there was nothing more than an answer to her greetings and a nod when she says something, obviously about work.

There wasn't even a slight chance of being friends with him.

She realized that if nothing is done, they'll remain stagnant, she knew he feared his father and would do whatever he says so she told him the truth.

When he heard her, he consoled and assured her that Liu Wei would marry her and said that they'll go visit him that Sunday.

She was elated and thanked him profusely.

Mr Zang really liked Da Xia and wanted her in the family. She was beautiful, kind, elegant and everything a man would want in a woman.

To him, she was perfect.

He had chosen her and Liu Wei must marry her, whether he likes it or not!.

....

Liu Wei remained sitting staring into space. His mind replaying the events that just happened.

If it were this time last year, he would not have questioned his father's decision.

He would have married Da Xia without thinking twice, but now...

.....

Liling felt a cool breeze brush past her, feeling a bit cold, she headed back inside the house.

She didn't use the normal stairs but the side stairs, avoiding the parlor.

When she entered her room, she made straight for her bed and hugged her pillow tightly as her mind replayed what she just heard.

'If he gets married, will his wife come to live with him? '

Of course she will.

'Then, I won't have to be a personal maid anymore right? '

So I'll be free, maybe I'll just have to serve the meals, I would no longer need to dress his bed. His wife should be able to do it, and his bath too.

No woman would want another woman preparing her husband's bath.

She continued asking herself questions and answering them.

And that woman... She is very pretty!'

Liling imagined both of them together, and she sighed softly.

'They'll look good together.. '

She was bumped out of her thoughts when she heard a knock on her door.

The only person who knocks on her door is Kim, so without thinking she said calmly.

"Come in.. "

.....

Liu Wei stood up after a while and headed upstairs. When he approached his room, he instinctively looked towards her door.

'Was she okay? '

He remembered seeing tears in her eyes back then when his father scolded her, so thinking that she was crying, he went over to her door and knocked lightly on it.
