Contrary to what Lily said, the couple did not go to the hospital to see Qin Fei or her child. Instead, the couple chose to spend their Sunday visiting Yang Mi and Secretary Go in the hospital.
“The Yang Family will act soon,” Lily said before she sat on the chair next to Yang Mi’s bed. On her left was Secretary Go, who had just woken up from the accident yesterday. “Yang Lina might visit you at any time so I want you to prepare yourself. Stop worrying about your mother and sister because Zhuo Jingren has already ensured that they are safe.”
“What about the Qin Family? Tomorrow is…”
“Proceed as planned,” Lily interrupted her. Just this morning, she’d already received a few calls from Tang Lingyun but Lily refused to answer them. She knew that Tang Lingyun would apologize and invite her to her father’s birthday dinner. Seeing Yang Mi nod, Lily continued, “Cathy will be replacing you for a week. She will visit me at Sky City tonight.”
“Alright…” Yang Mi’s words were interrupted when they heard someone knock and then open the door. For some reason, both Yang Mi and Lily were not surprised to see that it was Yang Lina.
“Miss Yang, I don’t remember inviting you in,” Lily chimed, instantly making three deep lines unfurl across Yang Lina’s carefully maintained brow. She was already in a bad mood because her brother asked her to bring Yang Mi to Mainland China. The worst part is Yang Sen thinking that she and He Yuyan planned Yang Mi’s accident. The current situation made Yang Lina frustrated as she was now stuck in a challenging position.
The first hassle is that Yang Lina was finding it difficult to explain to Yang Sen that her target had been Lily all along. Her brother is a very righteous person, so scheming behind someone’s back is something he hates the most. If her brother knew that she tried to kill someone like Lily, Yang Lina is a hundred percent sure that Yang Sen would tell Old Man Yang, and the latter would surely plant himself in the middle of the current situation.
The second problem is that if she doesn’t tell Yang Sen about Lily being her target, her brother will continue to think that she was trying to kill Yang Mi because He Yuyan asked her to do it. Either way, her brother would hate her. This situation would affect her relationship with the Yang Family.
“Are you lost?” Lily asked, pulling her out of her thoughts.
“I am not here to see you,” she declared before ignoring Lily. She walked past Secretary Go’s bed and stood before Yang Mi’s bed where she boldly announced: “I am Yang Lina, and I am your father’s sister. I am here to take care of your bill and bring you home.”
However, Yang Lina’s words were only met with a burst of mocking laughter from both Yang Mi and Lily.
“I’m sorry, but I think you’ve got the wrong person,” Yang Mi said as she tried to stop her giggles. “My father is long dead.”
“I did not come here to joke, Yang Mi. I am here to bring you to your father,” she said sternly, a hint of irritation flashing in her eyes. She had thought that dealing with Yang Mi would be easy. After all, becoming someone from a prestigious family overnight is everyone’s dream. In Yang Lina’s opinion, Yang Mi is lucky that the Yang Family would recognize someone like her, so why would Yang Mi even dream of refusing this opportunity?
“Well, Miss Yang… please leave. I already told you that my father is long dead. Are you planning to bring me to my father’s grave?” Yang Mi asked calmly, so calm that it made Yang Lina a little suspicious. Why was she so calm? Is it possible that Yang Mi already knows her roots? But that should not be possible…
If Yang Mi knows that she is someone from the Yang Family, then why wouldn’t she try to see her father? Yang Lina was sure that once Yang Mi declared her identity, Yang Sen would immediately recognize her. Of course, a DNA test needed to be done first, but aside from that Yang Mi also looked like Yang Sen! Yang Mi was like the female version of her father! This was something that Yang Lina could not deny at all.
“You are a Yang. Why are you working as a secretary for someone else when you can work as a Director in one of our companies? If you agree to go with me to Mainland China, you can easily get whatever you need. I’m sure that your father and grandfather will give you everything that you want to compensate you for the years that they were not able to take care of you,” Yang Lina said. Since her kind gesture did not work, she moved to the second stage of her plan.
Bribery.
As a secretary, Yang Mi most likely did not earn a lot. She was banking on this fact to use as bait to lure Yang Mi into coming with her.
“Really? How much does your company offer?” Yang Mi asked. The interest in her voice was so apparent that Yang Lina already began celebrating inwardly. As expected of someone who was underprivileged, money would always make them drastically change their opinions towards something.
“We can discuss this once you are already in the company. Plus, we can also give you a house so you can accommodate your mother and sister as well,” she added before sending a mocking gaze in Lily’s direction. While Yang Mi and Yang Lina were talking, Lily was calmly eating some nuts with Secretary Go. Both of them were extremely calm, their faces completely devoid of expression. It was as if… they were watching a great show. Although their demeanour was making Yang Lina angry, she chose to maintain her composure. She was here because of Yang Mi, not them. She decided to focus on the current issue at hand before dealing with Lily.
“I want to know this now,” Yang Mi said abruptly. “This piece of information is vital for me to know.”
“Alright… Well, our Directors earn sixty thousand per quarter. That’s two hundred and forty thousand annual salary plus bonuses,” Yang Lina said. A white-collar job in China earns about eight thousand per month or ninety- six thousand annually, but in their company she could earn twenty thousand RMB per month as a Director. Her offer was already excellent compensation for someone who was merely a secretary, like Yang Mi.
