The Witch Ceo Is Not A Demoness

Chapter 21 - You Are Hiding Something

"Ah Lisa, your second uncle is here to see you. Why did you not personally go down to see me and instead let me come here in your office? Is this how you treat your elder? I did not know how Uncle Yeye raised you to become like this."

Lisa internally sneered but she still maintained her stoic face, void with any emotion. "Apologies, Second Uncle. Lisa was busy trying to manage the company. I hope uncle won't take it to heart."

Bang Si-Hyuk snorted. He sat on the opposite side of the table and wandered his eyes around her office. "I am not angry. I am only thinking about you. You are already 28. When you entered another household after you get married, you must always think about your elders first before yourself."

'Thinking about me? Or thinking how to get this company?' Lisa stared at her second uncle. An unfathomable feeling rose inside her heart. "What Second Uncle means...."

"Ah Lisa, it is great that you are thinking about the Feng Family. But isn't it time to think of yourself too? You are already 28, sooner or later, you will marry someone. When the time comes, you won't be able to manage the company since you will be focusing on taking good care of your husband and raising your kids."

Lisa wanted to laugh out loud. This Second Uncle of hers really knows no shame. They had been living in luxury thanks to her grandfather.

Feng Family was different from those aristocratic families like Xiao, Yun and Lu that already stood at the peak of the society in the last hundred years ago.

Feng Family was originally a middle-class family and the company was just able to support the family's expenses.

Feng Yeye's father had two wives, the First wife and the Mistress. Unfortunately, Yeye was the son of the Mistress, making him unable to succeed the company. But on the day the Old Feng Patriarch announced his successor, everybody in the family was shocked because the son of the Mistress, Yeye, was hailed as the new head of the family.

Many people objected but the Old Feng Patriarch steeled his heart and never revoked his decision. The first son did not have a choice but to obey. Leading a passive life without working at the company nor trying to work outside. He just lived his life leaching towards the Feng Family's money.

On the other hand, Yeye decided to work hard in order to prove himself. Years passed and the Old Feng Patriarch's decision that time was indeed correct.

Feng International's stock market rose, becoming the biggest company in their line of business. Because of that, Feng Family's social standing also rose, elevating them to a first class family.

Yeye wedded and had Feng Mo as his only child. Yeye's brother, Feng Xuan Ge had 3 wives and 5 children, a very epitome of a silk-pants[3] Young Master. Bang Si-Hyuk was the second child of Xuan Ge and the eldest one among his sons.

If they based it on blood relations as what Chinese people did in ancient times, Feng International originally belonged to them.. But, this is not Ancient China. Managing a business was like venturing in a dangerous jungle, where the only option was to eat or to be eaten. It was all about capabilities. If you were incapable, all that awaited you was a nasty death.

Lisa smiled at Bang Si-Hyuk. A smile that was not a smile. "So what must I do, Second Uncle? Can you please give your opinion to Lisa?"

Bang Si-Hyuk coughed before speaking. "Ah Lisa, you are a woman. You won't be able to manage the company forever. Instead of thinking about how to manage the company, why not think about yourself and Uncle Yeye? He's already old. You should give him his great grandchildren. You are also not young anymore. Few more years and your age won't be seen on the calendar[4] anymore. Why not give the management of the company to others. Feng Family has many outstanding people that could help you."

As Lisa heard his speech, she wanted to grab the vase at her side and bash it towards Bang Si-Hyuk's head, but before she could take action and retort back, Jisoo's voice suddenly sounded on the intercom.

"Madam, Chairman Feng suddenly called. He wanted to see you, ASAP."

'Yeye called here? Why not directly on my phone?' She grabbed her phone inside her bag and saw that it was on silent mode. Few missed calls can be seen on the notification. When she opened it and read her grandfather's message, her countenance darkened.

'Stupid grandchild!! Why are you not answering my call?'

'Boo hoo~ my granddaughter is ignoring me.'

Lisa rolled her eyes. Her grandfather always acted like a spoiled brat.

Lisa wanted to ignore him when she read his last message.

'Lisa, come here immediately.'

Lisa suddenly felt uneasy. Her Yeye only called her full name when he was extremely serious. Lisa stood up. Without looking at Bang Si-Hyuk, she walked towards the door.

"Second Uncle, Lisa cannot entertain you right now, please help yourself towards the exit." She closed the door, leaving Bang Si-Hyuk speechless. She drove towards Feng Mansion. The servants immediately brought snacks and coffee. She was sitting on the chair, waiting for her grandfather to come.

"Stupid granddaughter!! Why are you late?? I almost died waiting for you."

Lisa did not pay attention to him. 'As if. You are as strong as gorilla. You won't die early.'

Feng Yeye sat on the opposite side of her. He stared at Lisa and suddenly said, "Ah Lisa, you don't have to hide it to Yeye anymore. Yeye already knows."

Lisa's hand that was lifting a cup of coffee froze.

'Oh shit!' Lisa inwardly cursed. Did his grandfather know something?

'The fudge. Did he know about Jungkook? What should I do? Should I deny it? What about that marriage?? Would he still insist on making me marry someone I don't know? Would grandfather get angry at me for hiding everything?' She suddenly feels like she was placed in a boiling pan.

"Lisa. Speak. I know you are hiding something."

"Y-yeye.."
