Taking Hearts

Parting

(QING)

"CEO Shang's father was the cause why the mother and son got separated," my father said as we stood outside the inn where the CEO Shang dragged Dayu.

"He lied to his daughter and said that she born a stillborn and dead baby. Then he puts his own grandson to an orphanage. It's just unfortunate that no one has adopted the boy. He grew up in the orphanage and forced to provide everything for himself when he was sent away from the orphanage."

Yes. I knew about Dayu's struggles of being a scholar while working to feed himself and finish college.

What I want to know is if Dayu is okay while he is with CEO Shang.

Even if she is his mother, she is a stranger to Dayu. And my innocent, softhearted, tree spirit believing kidnapper might need my help or my rescue.

"Why are you together with him anyway?" My father asked.

"Dayu and I went hiking," I replied simply. And that is all I am willing to share for now. "Father, I want to talk about Dayu's case..."

"There will be no case," my father said.

I was surprised. "W-what? Why?"

"We already found the real culprit and the missing millions. Ing Kai stolen it and pinned Dayu because he has a vendetta against CEO Shang who kicked him out of her company some fifteen years ago,"

My eyes widened, "Director General Ing Kai did it?" I can't believe it. He was a good worker and loyal to my father. Why would he...

"He wanted Feng Jian Yu in jail and hidden from his mother. That is why he makes it look like it's the junior accountant's fault. He used Mr.Na too to get the boy to sign those documents,"

Goodness. Ing Kai is that evil? In order to separate the mother and son, he planned to put Dayu in prison?

Come to think of it, he was the one who reported to me and to my father that Dayu is the son of CEO Shang one month ago. The day after the memorable night of the company's anniversary when I kissed Dayu.

Looks like Ing Kai planned all of this embezzlement carefully to trap Dayu.

"What will happen now?" I asked my father.

"We will surrender the boy to her mother so she won't press charges against us. She wanted her son and if she will not get him, she will come after you, my own son..."

Okay, that is scary. CEO Shang is so hardcore. Did Dayu got her fierceness too?

I sighed, "Baba, Dayu and I..."

"Forget it." My father interjected.

"But Baba!"

"Wang Qing, listen to me. CEO Shang is not someone you will want to clash against in business. If you go up against her in a more personal matter like her son, you are just asking for a whole lot of pain. Even death itself. She will not approve of you for her son. She hates us before but now it doubled when she learned that we almost got her son imprison," my father shook his head.

Shit! Shit! Just when I thought that the hardest part will be convincing my father to let me pay that twenty million yuan missing from the company...
