Fight ICE with ICE

Chen Sicong: News

TRIGGER WARNING! IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH HEARING ABOUT RAPE, THEN SKIP THIS CHAPTER. IT'S ONLY MENTIONED ONCE OR TWICE, BUT JUST IN CASE, YOU ARE NOW WARNED AND ARE READING AT YOUR OWN RISK! UNFORTUNATELY, THIS PART OF THE STORY IS GOING TO BE ESSENTIAL FOR SOME TIME, SO I HOPE YOU GUYS UNDERSTAND THAT.

"Meeting ends here! All of you know what to do. Let's get back to work people!"

As people start getting back to work, I feel pain in my heart. I haven't seen Xiao Xiao in onl about 2 days, but I'm already really sad. I haven't heard from her, it couldn't hurt to contact me and say, at least, I'm fine, right?

"Mr. Chen, evryone who knows Miss Xiao misses her dearly, and we know how sad you might feel. Would it be a good idea if we go visit her sometime."

Mr. Smith. He is the guy that I hope Xiao Xiao marries one day. Or at least someone as respectful and kind as him.

"You know, I miss her, and she hasn't contacted me. I'll try calling her tonight, and ask her if she's settled down well. If she has, then I'll ask her about visiting. I also have to know how the teacher and the manager feel about her. I want to know if she has had any changes." I smile bitterly until Mr. Smith speaks again.

"You know Mr. Chen, you are an amazing father, and I can clearly see why she loves you so much!"

I smile at him, and I nod. "Thank you."

We head out of the meeting room and I head straight into my office where I see I've missed a few calls. I look at who it is.

*5 MISSED CALLS FROM CHRN LI*

"WTH!" I try muttering but it comes out as more of a whisper scream.

"Is everything okay Mr. Chen? Do you need me to leave or get you something?"

I stared at my phone for a few seconds before finally reacting.

"You know Xiao Xiao's crazy mother, right? Well she called again. Last time, she said that she would call when she is ready to come visit Xiao Xiao again. I'm afraid she might use the fact that Xiao Xiao wasn't too thrilled to go to China against me. She might just get the judge to decide that she is a more suitable parent. After all, she isn't living out on the streets, she is doing really well herself."

Mr. Smtih stands there for a second thinking about what we coud do. Suddenly, he looks up with a bright smile.

"Do you know exactly when she is going to be visiting us, Mr. Chen?"

I look htrough my messages and find that hs has, in fact, texted me details of when she is coming back.

"The text says, 'Hey! I know we aren't in the best terms right now, but it seems like Xiao Xiao is still mad about last time. So I'm contacting you, since I know you haven't blocked me yet. I'll be dropping by for a week for Xiao Xiao's birthday. July 15th, right? I can hardly remember stuff about her anymore, stuff like this isn't something I can remember, but I'm pretty sure it's that day! Give her this message, I bet she just left me on her blocked list and forgot, she got my bad memory hahaha! Well I'll see you guys soon in about a week and a half. Tell Xiao Xiao momma loves her a lot."

I stare at my phone for a bit. Mr. Smith can clearly understand how I'm feeling.

"I'm sorry for saying this Mr. Chen, but what a bunch of crap is she saying? Is she serious right now? Last time that she spent a day with Miss Xiao, she went to a bar, saying that since she was an adult now, she was allowed to drink as much as she wanted to and get wasted. Then, she took her to a place that is not suitable for girls her age, even if she is an adult now! She got raped and she thinks that Miss Xiao is okay?"

I smile sadly, I know how much Xiao Xiao has suffered, and she doesn't remember what happened that night, since her mother got her so drunk plus the accident.

"You know how much she loves her mother. She doesn't know what happened that night, if it hadn't been for her mother remembering everything the next morning and confessing it to me, we wouldn't know. Plus, how do I tell Xiao Xiao that the reason why she can't spend time with her mom is because that happened. After all, she doesn't even remember that she spent that night with her mother. After going to that place, they got into a crash. The only thing she remembers is waking up in a hospital with bruises everywhere on her body."

I tear up, because no matter how much I want to tell her that her mother caused her to lose her virginity, I would prefer for her to think that she has never been in that situation, and that she just got into a crash.

"It hurts me to have to keep a lie going. She thinks she fell asleep and the crash happened while she was sleeping. She doesn't know that she went to a bar, or that stripper house." Mr. Smith brings two chairs for us to sit in.

We both sit in silence, until Mr. Smith starts talking again.

"About my plan, my plan was that I travel to China and see how she is doing! Get her to feel super comfortable over there. If her mother asks, you can tell her that she went to visit some family with her friend."

I smile a little.

"Yea right! Friends! You guys obviously like each other. Just kow that whatever you do, I've known you for a long time, and I would completely agree if you want t propose to my Xiao Xiao!"

He blushes immediately and starts fidgeting knowing that he isn't ready to confess.

"I kow you guys haven't even dated yet, but maybe this trip idea of yours isn't such a bad idea. One thing though! You will be sleeping in the hotel, you aren't going to be living and sleeping with my daughter just yet."

Mr. Smith breaks into laughter and rlls off his chair. I stand up and help him get up as he is trying to control his laughter.

As soon as he stops laughing, I pat his shoulder.

"I'll prepare that flight! In 5 days, you'll be going, so go get ready, start packing immediately!"

Mr. Smith does a small bow and leaves immediately. I smile at someone who I hope becomes my future son-in-law.
