Chu Lian's face turned grim as she picked up the face mask and carefully placed it in a box. " I have said it so many times, do not throw it so carelessly, do you think it's easy for me to have this made? You throw it away like you can get it from anywhere from the market, are you stupid?"

The man watched Chu Lian scolding him and shook his head as he looked at her before standing up and curling his arms around her shoulders. " You have so many complaints from me huh, don't you?" He picked up the mask and carefully brushed it with his fingers and sniggered, "It's because you can't get it from the market or because it's the face of your precious brother Song? I think it's most probably the latter, you care about this mask because it's your brother Song's face don't you, Lian'er?"

Chu Lian smacked his hands away and then turned to look at him with an annoyed expression. "It's not that I care about brother Song, you don't have to taunt me like this," she carefully took the mask and placed it in the box again before locking it up and putting it in the cabinet drawer. " I care about the shares and powers that we can have with this face mask, do you think that if you treat the face mask with such a careless attitude you can still enjoy the treatment that you have at the moment? If the truth comes to light, do you think that Song Yan and her brother would stay put? Not only will drag us out of the company but they will also throw us in the prison. Do you think that you have been living a bit too comfortably that's why you want to experience some hardships?"

The man snorted. " They dare? I am still their uncle, their father is still my biological brother, how dare they throw me in the prison?"

" Yes, you are their biological uncle but you are also the same man who has replaced their father, Song Wang Lei." Chu Lian immediately poured cold water on the head of the overconfident Song Wang Lei who pursed his lips and walked back to the bed and sprawled over it. " And you should be a bit more careful around Lan'er too, she doesn't know that she is your daughter, in her heart, she is the true young mistress of the Song family if she finds out that she is not Song Yan's half-sister she might not be able to withstand the blow."

"Huh? You sure are a really heartless woman, Chu Lian." Song Wang Lei sat up straight on the bed, as he looked at the woman in front of him. " You are the one who came to me twenty-seven years ago with the plan and now that it has successfully been implemented you have thrown me aside like this, you won't allow me to meet my daughter properly and you wouldn't let me leave the house without the mask on, don't you think you are being too cruel?"

Chu Lian haughtily sniffed as she looked at the man with one of her brows raised. " I am cruel? You knew what you were signing in for Brother Song, it's not that I am being cruel, it's that I care too much about you and our family. This is what you wanted right and I gave you just that… with this alone, we can give our daughter the life she deserves don't forget that ever and if you want to destroy the little happiness that she has then I am afraid you will only go against me and that's something you don't want to do."

Song Wang Lei's face turned grim as he turned to look at the wall opposite to him, seeing his sullen face Chu Lian sighed as she C walked towards him and sat in the spot next to him. " I know that you want to officially meet Lan'er, but you have to understand that she has pride of her own now, if we tell her that she is not the daughter of Song Dong Ming but yours, then she will receive a huge blow to her pride, she has been competing with Song Yan all her life and wouldn't take anything less. You know it too right?"

He exhaled heavily as he swept a glance at Chu Lian. " And what about you? Do you care about this as well?"

" Of course not," said Chu Lian as she smiled dotingly at Song Wang Lei.  " How can that be possible? I am truly happy with you Brother Song. It's you who have been by my side all along, how can I not be in love with you?"

" Damn right, I am the one who was with you at your good and bad times." Song Wang Lei smiled as he hugged Chu Lian who leaned against his shoulder but what he didn't see was the disgusted and annoyed expression that etched on Chu Lian's face the second she leaned down and he could no longer see her face. If he would have gotten a glimpse of the face then who knows whether or not he would still be able to smile so widely like that?

—————

Chu Lian slid off the bed as she picked up her clothes that have been thrown on the ground and looked at the man who was sleeping next to her. She sneered as she strode to the cabinet and took out the box with the face mask and then walked towards Song Wang Lei and put on the face mask once again on his face… only after the face mask was perfectly set on his face did her expression eased and the disgust in her heart went down a notch.

Really sometimes some people don't know their own worth! How can Song Wang Lei even try to compete with her Brother Song? Doesn't he know what he really was?

She glanced at Song Wang Lei who was still asleep and noticed that the face mask was losing a bit of its texture, her eyes narrowed and then walked out of the room without looking back.
