17 He doesn't Like Me
Meals were served and they were called up to the dining table. The girl went to sit by her father, but Mr. Zang Ru stopped her and pointed at a seat beside Liu Wei.
This was when he finally knew what this dinner was all about. It wasn't that his father cared, it was that he needed him to marry this girl. He was hurt, it hurt because he foolishly believed that his father truly missed him. He turned to look at her and at that moment found her very disgusting.
He wanted to immediately leave but he held himself, 'just thirty minutes more'. He gulped and immediately picked his chopsticks.
He ate with all the strength in him, holding in his anger, not wanting to disgrace his father in front of this person. He didn't know who he was, maybe a very good friend or maybe a business associate. free(w)ebnovel.com
"Son, this is Song Da Xia, a graduate of Havard. She studied... "
Mr. Zang Ru looked at Da Xia, signaling her to say her course of study.
"Accountancy," She looked towards Liu Wei and repeated. "I studied Accountancy". Liu Wei glanced at her and at his father then kept his chopsticks curtly, he was really trying hard to maintain his facade, but they were not helping matters.
As though his father didn't notice his discomfort, he rambled on
"She is well educated and smart, ChengFeng am I right? " he would ask her father, and her father would smile and reply affirmatively.
"Liu Wei she's quite pretty and well behaved, I think she'll fit well in the company, she should be the head accountant in the company, Da Xia you will resume work next week Monday, okay "
Liu Wei had heard enough, all through his life, his father had made decisions for him which he didn't object to, his decisions were rather very selfish, but Liu Wei had pretended he didn't notice; but this time around, he wasn't going to be the loyal watchdog that does his Master's bidding.
He stood up abruptly and cut in
"Father, there is a pressing matter seeking my attention, I'll be leaving now. Do enjoy yourselves " He pushed back the seat and made to leave when his father stopped him.
"Liu Wei we haven't finished talking, where are you going? " Mr Zang Ru asked in an annoyed tone.
"Father, like I said, I have more pressing issues to attend to, I'll be leaving now" He immediately turned and walked out.
As they walked out of the mansion, Da Xia couldn't help but ask.
"Dad, it seems Young Master Liu Wei doesn't like me" She asked as she tugged on his arm.
"Don't speak like that, he's always this frosty, but don't worry, you are a beautiful girl, he'll surely take a liking to you, besides Mr Zang Ru has already promised us this marriage, so even though he likes you or not he'll still have to marry you"
As they approached the car, the chauffeur who was standing beside the car opened it up for them, and then drove out of the estate. Da Xia, who was in deep thought suddenly replied.
"Even though he doesn't like me, I'll make him like me" She said smiling while looking outside the window. He was more handsome than she even anticipated. Though she had seen him on TV, seeing him real life felt totally different. Coupled with his tall and good body build, fame and fortune, no woman would let this type of Adonis go, and she wasn't going to be the first. She watched the cars drift away one after the other, enveloped in her mischievous thoughts, she didn't know when they arrived home.
