Chapter 5 My Secret

• Could it be from the mysterious man?
• I picked up my phone. No, it wasn't that mysterious man. Instead, it was my uncle, Chu Shoujiang.
• Uncle said he had come back and wanted to see me.
• My dad's company was based in Xun City. He and uncle were friends back in university and they had a close relationship. Their bond got even stronger when aunt and uncle were married.
• Unfortunately, my aunt died of an illness in her early age without bearing any child. Uncle was very in love with her, so he did not remarry and treated me like his own daughter.
• Originally, my dad was the President in the company and uncle was the Vice President. Feng Shi joined the company three years ago and suggested to expand the business. So, he assigned uncle to work at the branch in Ying City.
• Now that uncle was back and wanted to see me, I was worried that something bad might happen.
• I called him for a quick chat. His tired and depressed tone stifled me, so I promised him that I would meet him at his house around noon the next day before urging him to go get some rest.
• I tossed and turned on the bed wondering how I should explain to him regarding the company and also Feng Shi and Lin Luoluo's betrayal.
• With my current situation, I had nobody else that I could claim as family besides uncle.
• Stress suffocated me and I did not get a wink of sleep. Only when the sun came up that I forced myself to sleep for two hours.
• Around eleven the next morning, I knocked on uncle's door.
• As he opened the door, aromas of home-cooked food hit me on the face. He had aged since we last met during the Chinese New Year. From his gaze, I knew he had heard about what happened to me.
• I couldn't control my grievance anymore and started crying in tears.
• Only in front of uncle could I show this frail side of me, crying out all my sadness.
• “Huan, don't cry. Come and have some food. Look how skinny you've gotten.”
• The dishes were simple, but I ate a lot. None of us talked during the meal.
• Finished eating, I started to help out with the dishes. Only then I heard him asking, “Huan, do you know the situation of the company now?”
• The company...
• “I knew Feng Shi has taken over the company.” I felt remorseful while looking at the aged man, “But don't you worry. Nobody dares terminate you as we still have authority over them.”
• Uncle shook his head and showed me his social media voice message.
• I was full in shock after the voice message ended.
• The social media was from my uncle's ex-subordinate who was now regarded highly by Feng Shi. He said the board of directors had made the decision to eliminate both of us from the company.
• “Uncle, I thought you're in charge of the branch. How could this happen?”
• “I saw how well Feng Shi treated you before and thought of retiring early to help take care of your child if you bore any. For the past few months, I got coaxed by him and surrendered a lot of my shares...”
• Uncle did not blame me for what happened. But I on the other hand was devastated.
• Not only did Feng Shi scheme me, he plotted uncle as well! This man was obviously trying to push us to the cliff's edge.
• At that moment, there's only one thought repeating in my mind. Whatever it takes, I'll end this man. Even if it takes my life.
• Beep, beep.
• I suppressed my anger and checked on my phone. It was a message from the mysterious man.
• Seven o'clock. Grand Hyatt, room 2011.
• It's him.
• Right! This man gave me money and turned me into a VIP at Yu Qian's event. With his abilities, maybe he can get me out of this situation!
