CHAPTER SEVENTEEN (17) Family Issues [III]

"Lying?" Rose repeated after her. "Should i tell everyone how you go out every night to go and squander money on little boys? Or go to parties and donate money extravagantly just so others would envy you? Or how you return with a wrecked vehicle every night and have to change it?

Should I also tell everyone how you keep losing contracts? Or how you're always flying through countries instead of working?"

Meilin dropped into her space on the chair. She couldn't hear all these and remain standing, or she might end up fainting!

Yongrui was more shocked than everyone else in the room.

Jun further moved away from her. He couldn't associate himself with her or else he won't be spared by his grandfather.

Lihua shook her head countless times. All these was happened and she had no idea!

Nianzu cleared his throat. Rose has just exposed Lanying in front of everyone. Still she acted as if she was asking for Lanying to make a sound signifying go ahead... His eyes tingled... it was a form of satisfaction.

Mr Chen returned to his chair. She called it upon herself. He really wanted to stay out of his wife's family drama but that girl kept accusing his child so he's happy that Rose was finally able to retaliate.

Rose had taken a lot of silly blames! Including that incident that everyone still blames her for... his little girl was suffering a lot. And his wife medical problem was wearing them out... still they didn't consider all these before coming to cause trouble.

Mrs Chen on the other part had no idea what to say to stop Rose. Rose didn't look like she will be discouraged by anything she says now!

"Should I go on with the list?" Rose wanted to know. A vicious smile rested on her face.

"You cunning girl!!!" Lanying charged towards Rose like an enraged lion.

Rose waited until she was near to swiftly move away. She fell right onto Lihua's legs.

Lanying's heart instantly flew out the window. She had just fallen into the enemy's zone.

Yongrui swallowed feeling pity for his grandchild. There was no way for Rose to fabricate such lies! Everyone knew this but his only problem was her always winning at everything! At such a young age Rose has raised Chen Empire to a higher level. While Lanying only cared about lavishing money.

He was overwhelmed with shame, but he couldn't accept it.

Lanying's shaky head slowly hoisted to meet her grand aunt's expressionless eyes.

"Au... aunt..."

"Hmm?" Lihua answered. "Why are you so clumsy?"

Lanying swallowed. "Grand aunt... it's not... it's not like that... I swear, Rose is making things up..."

"You're still lying right to my face."

Lanying let a tear fall from her eye. "No... no... I mean..."

"Yongrui," Lihua called out to her brother, "Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Is this what you've subjected your grandchildren to?"

Jun was offended that his grand aunt saw him as a problem just like Lanying.

He would accept anything but to be compared to his elder sister.

"No," Rose spoke up. "The only problem is Lanying. Jun didn't inherit such stupid attitudes from her."

Jun sighed. Yes, Rose was right, not that she was ever wrong though.

"Get out of my sight!" Lihua yelled at the terrified Lanying.

Lanying tried to stand up but her legs wobbled and she fell back onto the floor, she took several deep breaths in before scurrying away. She wanted to run away from everyone! She continued until she got to the door and not looking back for any reason.

After she left, silence reigned in the sitting room for sometime.

Meilin brushed shoulder with Yongrui, giving him sign to apologize to Lihua but Yongrui couldn't let go of his pride.

Why would he apologize? That's accepting defeat in front of everyone present. No! That was unacceptable.

Mrs Chen was able to convince them to have dinner before they left.

Silence reigned until everyone had their full. Rose got up to leave first as she still needed to shower and have a good rest ahead for the next day.

*~~~*

"Good morning Boss!" The last floor employees chanted as Rose joined the meeting room.

"Good morning," came her reply as she took her seat. "Let's begin."

"Ma'am," Zedong started. "I'm pleased to inform you that all the products have been loaded into our various trucks, while some are already on their way to different part of the country, we've also kept some for our big city."

His information raised a round of applause.

Zedong's cheeks were hurting from smiling too much. He was really happy that everything was going according to plan.

"Great!" Rose's compliment raised another applause from the other employees.

"Thank you, ma'am." Zedong said then sat down.

Xu Dandan stood up next, she went straight to the big screen and turned it on.

"This right here," she pointed at the chart. "Is the demand of waffle biscuits! And due to this, i think we will make good profits if we make it to support the first batch that has just been dispatched while we wait for the reviews..."

"I don't think so." One of the female employees said.

"Why?" Xu Dandan asked. "If you have a much better idea then say it out."

"Waffle biscuits is only in demand now, and if we rush into it, I don't think it will be good. Let's continue to reproduce other products instead."

Xu Dandan shook her head. "I don't think you understand me..." she paused then pointed back at the chart. "Waffle biscuits are in high demand and the only available option is The Chen Empire..."

"You're the one that is not understanding me." The lady cut through her sentence. "This is just for the moment, and if we rush into it, we'd have terrible loses! Because they might end up not wanting it. We can't use it as backup products because we will only incur loss! Think about it from another angle... the public is just trying to push us into it... so let's find something else to use."

Xu Dandan swallowed. "Majority Carrie's the vote."

Zedong stood up once again. "If you're in support with Miss Anshu please raise up your hand." Zedong counted with his mind and seven people including Anshu herself raised up their hands.

They was only fifteen employees at the last floor of their boss was to be included.

"And if you support Miss Dandan's idea please raise up your hand." Zedong also raised his hand. They equalled the first team.

All eyes turned to Rose, maybe she'd help Dandan.
