The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend
/ The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend Chapter 120
Before Wei could respond, he raised his hand and said, "do not interrupt me . I heard you out . Now it's my turn to speak . First of all, Jia Li is my girl, so keep your HANDS OFF her . Her happiness is my responsibility and I am pretty serious about it . I don't need some outsider to come and lecture me over it . Second, you better start looking for a replacement for her as your employee because when I go back to Shanghai, she will go with me . Third, if we are to remain business partners, then you need to know one thing about me . I am extremely, extremely possessive about my precious ones . Any encroachment upon them is a deal breaker for me . "
Wei gave a short laugh, "finally there is something common between you and me . Even I am extremely protective about the one I love and I would do anything to ensure that person's well-being . "
Tang snorted and spun around, walking away from there . He couldn't believe the audacity of this guy who dared to proclaim his love for Jia Li in front of him .
"I am going to ensure that she is far out of your reach real soon," he muttered to himself .
Wei stood at his place, trying to calm himself down . He didn't want Jia Li to see this side of him . He knew she had been upset with his behaviour since this morning but he couldn't help the primal reactions which she was bringing out of him . Normally an easy going guy, he had suddenly turned into a caveman and he was ashamed of his own lack of control .
Shanghai
"Why didn't you come to office today? Don't tell me that you are going to mop over some guy, sitting at home for a week, like those simpering wives . No guy is worth it…haven't I told you that many a times?" Mr . Liang admonished Mei Zhen that evening .
He couldn't look at his daughter's pulled down face .
"I just wanted to take a break . I didn't manage to sleep very well yesterday . I will be back in the office tomorrow," she replied with a small smile .
"No, tomorrow you have to come with me to Beijing . You and I haven't managed to talk since last week about work . We have been approached by the Para Hotel management there . As you may know, they are one of the oldest family owned multi-hotel chain in Beijing . They seem to be cash crunched and are looking for partners . We have been invited for a round of talks . While I do the talking and looking at their accounts, I want you to get a feel of the place . You have always had the knack of getting a vibe of any place . So check out the culture and the practices that they follow . By the time, we would finish the survey, it would be time for Xie Tang to come back home . Till then, I have you exclusively with me, for a change," he said persuasively .
Mei Zhen welcomed it as the ideal plan to distract herself from going mad with unbridled frustration . She wasn't used to failure and that's all her marriage had been up until now . She told her father that she would be happy to take the trip with him .
Beijing
The hotel had an old worldly charm to it which Mei Zhen liked instantaneously . Father and daughter had decided to check-in separately since they didn't want to officially announce her arrival there . She spent the first half of the day acclimatizing herself with the layout of the place . The staff seemed cordial but slightly rushed at all times . Maybe they were short staffed at the moment . She decided to eat at their twenty four hour coffees shop during lunch .
Her enjoyment of the seafood soup was marred by the constant PDA at the table which was in her direct line of vision . The couple seemed to be similarly aged as hers but their behaviour was juvenile to say the least . Maybe her own lonely state was making her feel more irritated than the situation warranted . Irrespective, she hurriedly got through her lunch, ignoring the couple .
After spending rest of the day in some shopping in the nearby area, she came back to her room . The early morning flight and whole day's activities were making her crave for a sound sleep . She chatted with her father on the phone briefly, who was still engaged in the talks with the hotel's management .
A loud shout work her up from the deep slumber . Squinting her eyes at the bed side clock, she saw that it was midnight . Trying to understand the source of noise, she strained her ears .
