Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty
Chapter 229 - Devilishly Beautiful ButterflyAfter Zhu Chen left her office, Xu Mey furrowed her brows as she spoke to herself, "He won’t go to look for Ah-Jie, right?" She shook her head trying to persuade herself, "Surely, he won’t!"
She was busy talking to herself when her phone rang catching her attention. She looked at the caller id weirdly and picked up the call. "Hello, dad!"
"Xiao Mey, I have a piece of news for you," Xu Cheng’s warm voice came from the other side.
"What’s the news?" Xu Mey inquired suddenly getting a vibe of interest.
"You dearest sister is getting married tomorrow," he spoke in a vitriolic manner making Xu Mey’s brows quirk up in delight.
"That’s sooner than I thought it’d be," Xu Mey commented unsympathetically.

"Grandfather is surely swift in his execution." Xu Mey had a satisfied look.
Xu Cheng chuckled a bit as he said, "He is indeed swift just like his precious granddaughter."
"Oh, dad! How did Liqing react to this whole marriage arrangement?" Xu Mey inquired with gleaming eyes.
"It won’t be fun to just tell you. Let me show you instead," Xu Mey’s brows knotted together not understanding his meaning at all. But in the next few minutes, she received a video on her phone as she heard Xu Cheng’s voice, "I sent you the whole movie. Watch it, you’ll love it!" With that, he hung up the call.
Xu Mey curiously clicked on the video and reclined back on her leather chair. The video was shooted from the corridor that was closed to the kitchen but she could clearly see the interior of Xu Residence.
Xu Liqing came running down the huge staircase in her short red dress and stormed up to Grandfather Xu who was sitting in the living room.
"How can you decide whom I’m going to marry? Huh? This is my life! ONLY I GET TO CHOOSE THE PERSON I WANT TO SPEND IT WITH!" Xu Liqing roared furiously without caring about the fact that the person before her was her Grandfather.
Although grandfather Xu’s brows were furrowed in anger, he still calmly answered, "Before talking to me, go back to learn how to talk to your elders. As for your marriage, the mess that you’ve created is enough already for me."
"HA! MESS! I ONLY DID WHAT I WANTED TO DO! WHAT’S SO WRONG WITH THAT? I ONLY SLEPT WITH HIM THAT DOESN’T MEAN THAT YOU CAN MAKE HIM DANGLE AROUND MY NECK LIKE A LEASH!" She was acting hysterical at the moment making grandfather Xu’s jaw clench in anger. His hand tightened over his cane.
Grandfather Xu turned to look at Fu Lan and said, "This is how you raised your brilliant daughter? With these manners, you should be glad that even Lu family is considering taking her as a daughter-in-law. Otherwise..." He shook his head in disappointment.
Fu Lan held her daughter’s arm pulling her back as she said, "Liqing, don’t create a scene with your grandfather. He’s your elder."
Xu Liqing pulled herself out of Fu Lan’s grasp and looked at her with disdain saying, "Mother, this is already your fault! Because you broke a couple, this grandfather of mine has never even looked at me like I’m anything to him. He always sees your reflection in me and gives me a cold shoulder!" She shouted at the top of her lungs as she threw cold daggers at grandfather Xu with her eyes. "And you, grandfather! For you, only Xu Mey is the best, right? No matter what, she’ll always be the real blood of the Xu family! Is that why you chose the best husband for her and a beggar for me?"
An open-handed smack landed on Xu Liqing’s cheek making her face turn to one side. The slap was as loud as a clap and Xu Liqing could hear her ear ringing because of the strong impact. She staggered backward, clutching the side of her face in disbelief. Her eyes got red as if she was drowning in blood.

Grandfather Xu’s hand cracked across the other side of her face, this time, it didn’t just snap back, Xu Liqing fell to the ground and a cut appeared on her lip. Her head reeled but she still managed to look at grandfather Xu with resentment.
Grandfather Xu was unfazed by her look as he announced, "You were never better than your mother. If anything, you’re worse! As for this wedding, it will happen tomorrow at any cost!"
"Father!" Fu Lan immediately ran to him anxiously, "It’s too soon. She’s my only daughter and I want the wedding to be perfect." She was pleading since she thought that as much she delayed the wedding, she’d be able to find a way out of it but now it was too soon.
Grandfather Xu glared at her making her shut her mouth. "I don’t want to hear another word. I want this uncultured daughter of yours out of my family as soon as possible! I’m done being the center of jeers for everyone in our circle." Grandfather Xu slammed his cane on the floor in rage and strode out of there.
Xu Liqing sat on the ground holding her face while Fu Lan fell back on the couch holding her head in worry.
Seeing their faces, Xu Mey laughed to herself. "Aww! Dear step-mother, if you’ll act so weak from just this then the fun of tomorrow will be worthless for me."
She got up and trudged out of her office, she paused at Qin Hao’s office, opened the door wide and with a broad and radiant smile said, "Qin Hao! Cancel my meetings! I have to plan a huge surprise for my sister. After all, she’s the only sister I got." Her sickly sweet tone made Qin Hao gag inwardly as he thought,
’President Xu’s sister, I’ll pray for your soul to rest in peace! Because this boss of mine is surely gonna make you the pitiful person alive.’
Xu Mey smiled her way out of there as if floating in the air like a beautiful butterfly. Now, that was different that for some people, she was more like a devilishly beautiful butterfly.
