Sugar And Spice: The CEO’s Feisty Wife Chapter 216
Advertisement
Xie Yuansheng and Feng Xinying were also surprised. Chang Ling was overstepping her boundaries. Before anyone could speak in her favor, Xie Yuansheng said, "We will see," and stopped Chang Ling to speak any further. Chang Ling bit her lip and sat down in her place sheepishly.
Lim Chuen was bamboozled. He didn't know how Chang Ling came to know about the position of Wang Zirong, but he did feel that she had spoken and made this move in a hurry. It also meant that now Xie Yuansheng and Feng Xinying would be more cautious about her intentions. He gritted his teeth and gave her an angry look. She lowered her head immediately understanding her mistake.
The board meeting got over in the next half an hour and everyone went out. When Lim Chuen and Chang Ling were seated in their cars, Lim Chuen scolded her, "Have you no sense? If you wanted that position, you should have told me first and how did you know what position did Wang Zirong hold in the past?"
Change Ling kept quiet and then she said softly, "I had done some research on her. I think she was murdered, although this was never proved. I am not interested in whether she was murdered or not, but I think we should go for that position because that means direct contact with vendors. If vendors will have to go through me, then they will give us a lot of money in order to curry favor."
Lim Chuen looked at his brilliant daughter-in-law. He was dumbfounded and instead of scolding her, he was now thinking of a way to get that position.
In the meanwhile Xie Yuansheng and Feng Xinying also exited the company. In the car Feng Xinying held his hand and kissed it. "Xie Yuansheng, I have my doubts about this girl, Chang Ling. There is something wrong with her."

Xie Yuansheng patted her hands and replied, "Don't worry Feng Xinying. I have already sent my people to investigate about her. Why would a person ask for that position right at the time of introduction in the board meeting?" Even he was baffled.
"Hmm…" said Feng Xinying. The car drove in silence when suddenly Feng Xinying had an idea. "Can we instead go for dinner to the Vietnamese restaurant?"
Xie Yuansheng smiled. He knew his wife's weakness. He asked the driver to turn there. The driver stopped the car and the couple headed for the restaurant.
The restaurant was dimly lit as usual. Since it was one of the most top class places, only elite of the society came there. Hence it wasn't as crowded as other restaurants in the area were. There were hardly four tables that were occupied and that too very far off from each other. They easily found a place over there. As Feng Xinying was walking, she thought she heard a familiar voice. She glanced in that direction and saw Ru Shishi laughing softly, looking at the man in front of her who was smoking. Feng Xinying took a deep breath and asked Xie Yuansheng to sit in the private dining area. Xie Yuansheng frowned because he wanted to sit by the window, but when she pointed at Ru Shishi's direction, his expression became cold.
The private dining area was close to where Ru Shishi was dining with the man and even though she was speaking softly, she could be heard clearly. A waiter came and took their order. Both Xie Yuansheng and Feng Xinying were sitting together on one side as they talked about her future schedule in low tones.
Just as they were talking, they heard a nasty voice from outside. "Shishi, don't you dare to ditch me, otherwise you know that I have something, which will ruin your career in a day!"

Feng Xinying and Xie Yuansheng looked in the direction of the voice with shocked expressions.
"Senior Hung Jia, why are you getting so riled up? When did I say I would ditch you? This is just a small outing with Wu Bosun and my mother," she replied.
Ever since Ru Shishi had gone to Hung Jia's house to get that movie, she hadn't been able to come out of his clutches. Although she declined to sign the contract and went ahead to sign up with StarManage, Hung Jia had blackmailed her ever since saying he had her sex video with him. He would call her to his house and she had comply to his wishes. When Xie Weihui would ask as to where was she going so late at night, she would come with some or the other excuse.
Hung Jia was fine till she needed him and she also enjoyed him in the bed but lately, he had become very demanding.
One of his C-Category movies had grossed a lot of money and he was on top of the cloud. Now he wanted to leave movies career behind, open his small business in his hometown and settle down by marrying. The person he wanted to marry was Ru Shishi despite their eighteen-year age difference. He had gotten used to her so badly that he had become addicted to her youthful body. He was scared that she would leave him considering the fact that he was very much older than her. That was why he would keep blackmailing her.
However, Ru Shishi was finding him to be a burden now. She wanted out of the situation as she wanted to spend time with Wu Bosun. At the same time, she was coaxing her mother to take her to meet Xie Shengjun. She had heard that Xie Shengjun was extremely rich and still unmarried. She had to tackle with Hung Jia deftly so that he wouldn't create any messy situations. Since he was a well-known actor, she couldn't even think of murdering him. She was just not able to come up with a plan to eliminate him.
"Then when are you coming back?" he asked sadly.
"As soon as possible," replied Ru Shishi with a honeyed voice.
In the adjacent room, both Feng Xinying and Xie Yuansheng laughed as softly as possible. Xie Yuansheng messaged his people to know what was going on between the two of them.

Young master Damien's pet
"Who touched you?" he asked, his eyes brooding down at her and when she didn't answer, his voice thundered in the room, "WHO?" The butler who stood near the wall spoke shakily, "Sir it was Mr. Reverale," Damien's face turned sour, his jaw ticking in anger he turned his face to the side where the butler stood behind."Bring the man here.""N-now?" stuttered the butler. It was the time of night.Damien who hadn't broken his eyes contact with the girl in front of him pushed his hand against the wall which previously rested beside his beautiful girl's head. Turning his body, he first looked at his butler who had his head bowed. With great courage, the butler came to meet his master's eyes, "Do you have any other better time? Or should it be after I wring your neck?" Damien asked calmly tilting his head. Not a second later, the butler ran out of the room to return back with Mr. Reverale after twenty minutes. "Damien, are we having a late tea party?" Mr. Reverale came to greet but the master of the house had other plans. Spotting the knife that was stuck to the apple on the table, he reached for it to pull it out. Just as Mr. Reverale went to exchange a handshake with him, Damien took hold of his hand to place it on the table. In one swift movement as if he were chopping onions, he chopped the four fingers of the man off his hand making him yelp and cry in pain."No one touches what is mine. I am sure this will remind you the next time you even think about touching her," sighed Damien as if he were tired of telling people to keep their dirty hands off his belongings.
