Fang Qing slept for a while and was wakened up when the drip she was on finish. The nurse came in to remove the drip needle from her hand.

She rubbed her eyes groggily and acknowledged the nurse leaving the room. Unknowing to her, there was another person in the room.

She appeared demure and elegant in the traditional cheongsam and seemed gentle from the charming smile on her face. She had kept her appearance well, as Fang Qing couldn’t tell of her age judging from her look.

“Hi, you must be Fang Qing. I’m Lin Xiang, Yi’s mother, the daughter of the Ling family. We owned the Ling Group. You were the eldest daughter of the Fang. I’m sure you’ve heard of me.”

Fang Qing smiled shyly and nodded, appearing a little awkward.

This seemed to be a weird occasion to meet his parents.

Fang Qing knew her. She ran the corporation like a raging fire and had eminent authority in the Lin Group. The Lin Group was on equal footing with the Xu Group on their influence in the commerce world.

“Hello, I’m Fang Qing.”

Lin Xiang shot her a deep glance before she gave her a wry smile. “Yi was never in a relationship before this. I agree that you’re beautiful and elegant. But you’re no longer the daughter of the Fang family. So, your identity was rather awkward at this moment. And to be honest, the Fang was not exactly a prominent family.”

Fang Qing smiled sheepishly, feeling embarrassed hearing the insults coming from Xu Yi’s mother.

Lin Xiang had no care of embarrassing others as she took out a blank cheque from her handbag. She handed the piece of a blank cheque to Fang Qing and said, “You may fill up an amount. If I accept the proposed amount, it’s a deal.”

Fang Qing did not take the blank cheque from Mrs. Xu. She politely replied instead, “I cannot accept your money. You’re putting me in a difficult position. You can ask Xu Yi to discuss this with me. I’ll accept anything he proposed.”

Lin Xiang raised her eyebrows and smiled. Was she playing hard to get?

Very well. She met many women who thought too highly of themselves.

She thought she would get more from Yi. She had obviously overestimated herself.

“I know my son. None of the women he dated last more than a week. He dated most of them to entertain his grandfather. When he got bored with them, he would pay them off. I can tell you that he won’t be paying you as much as I do. You won’t be able to see much of him, either. He’s a busy man.”

Lin Xiang was familiar with dealing with such situations. In fact, it was rare for her to be dealing with such a situation. But a stupid woman like Fang Qing was an effortless task.

Fang Qing was a little lost.

“Then why don’t you save yourself some money? There’s no need for you to go through these troubles as well.”

Fang Qing felt her face hardened from the smile she had been putting on since she noticed Lin Xiang in the room. This atmosphere was making her very uncomfortable.

Lin Xiang’s expression turned glacial.

“Because you are illegitimate. You almost got married. Then, your family disowned you. Your reputation will drag Yi through the mud. Else, what makes you think that I’m willing to meddle in these trivial matters?”
