Li Corporation
“I told you, she won’t just let us pressure her.” Stephen Li calmly said as he propped a grape into his mouth. “It’s not that easy dad. You really should stop using us for your personal gains.”
“You still don’t see it, do you?”
“See what? That Xiaoming took his life because of you?”
“You ungrateful brat!”
“If giving you millions means that I am ungrateful, then… fine.” He gave a dismissive wave. “Call me ungrateful.”
“Stop it!”
“Stop what?” Stephen Li lifted an eyebrow. “I am warning you. She is not like the small CEO’s that you could intimidate using our fandoms. She will retaliate and she will make it big. She will crush you like a bug.” He snickered.
“Are you cursing me?” Li Han scowled. “Don’t you dare forget! I am still your father! I made you a star! I am the reason for everything that you have achieved till now!”
“Yeah… Yeah… my father.” He rolled his eyes in response. “The one responsible for how we turned out to be.” He snorted.
“You— “
“Father… stop being so melodramatic. Why are you so fixated on this company? It’s not like they are a well-known clothing brand or jewelry brand that could give us a lot of benefits. Facci Group is nothing like that. I don’t — “
“You don’t have to understand things. You only need to follow my words. It is that simple.” Li Han interrupted him. “Follow my words! Follow everything that I say and everything is good!”
“Of course. I have to follow in your footsteps. However, I am telling you… I am not going to go down with you. I will not stand on a sinking ship, ah.”
“You — leave!” Li Han yelled. “You ungrateful twat! Do you want to kill me from too much anger? You fuck*ng gay! Don’t show yourself before me unless I call for you!”
“Alright.” His son shrugged and stood from his seat. “I will see you when you need me?” he gave a mocking smirk before leaving Li Han’s office with a grin on his face. If not for his father’s threats to reveal his real sexuality, he would have already revealed this man’s deeds to the world. Stephen Li thought as he left his father’s office without any hesitation.
Too bad, unlike him, his brother was not able to take their father’s controlling behavior. Stephen Li shook the thoughts out of his head as he plastered his usual smile for the paparazzi that was following him around.
…
Li Han almost could not contain his anger as he watched his eldest son’s nonchalance. He balled his hands into fists, his eyes turned towards the image of his two sons on his table, something that he always used to show to his investors. He gritted his teeth. “You nasty piece of homosexual trash!” he hissed. If not for the benefits that came with being the father of the film emperor, he would have already cut his ties with this disgusting creature.
He walked towards his small bar and poured himself a glass of alcohol. It was still noon and yet, his urge to drink something spicy had never been this strong. Without hesitation, he finished the glass. He sat back in his leather chair as he used his phone to dial an international number.
After a few rings, a man answered.
“What?” his mellow voice immediately made Li Han irritated. It reminded him of Stephen so much that it seemed to make his blood boil in anger. “It’s late. What do you want?”
“She’s not talking to me! She is looking down on me!”
“Just keep her busy.”
“How?” He retorted. “She did not even look at me in the eyes and declared the conversation over before it even started!”
“Just find some way to distract her. It is simple. Send your sons, tempt her. Just don’t let her focus on her business too much.”
“How the hell am I going to accomplish that? Did you forget? I am just a small businessman!”
“Use your sons!” the man hissed, irritated. “Just do everything that you can to keep her busy. Throw some false news, make her deal with it. A scandal. I don’t know… as someone who knows the ins and outs of the entertainment industry, that should be easy for you to accomplish.”
“I don’t think I can do that.” Li Han said. “I don’t — “
“Then… do you have the money to pay for your debt?”
“You— “
“Well then… there you go. Since you don’t have the money, just do everything that I tell you to do. Or… would you want me to personally visit you in China? Maybe I could — reveal your son’s sexuality and your youngest son’s drug addiction to the media? But — that would ruin them both, right? Ruining them would mean no more money for daddy.” He did not miss the ridicule that laced the voice. “Is that what you want?”
“I — No.”
“Then, you have your answer. Just do everything that you can to keep her busy. The longer the better.”
“After that… After that will you— “
“Of course. I will consider your debt paid.” The man chuckled. “And one more thing. Stop calling me during this hour. I need my rest.”
“I understand.” Li Han forced the word out of her mouth. “I will update you as soon as I can.” He ended the call and tightened his grip on the phone. There was no way that someone like him could keep a tycoon like Lily busy.
“Ahhh!” He yelled in frustration. Just who was that man and why did he want Lily to be distracted? The man specifically warned him not to hurt Lily. This only meant that he cared about her welfare, no? So what was this man’s purpose? A sharp sigh escaped his lips. His face turned uglier as he thought about what happened earlier with Lily.
The woman seemed irritable and unapproachable. Lily looked just like what she looked like on the news. Fresh face, thin makeup that would have shown some bags if she had any. She did not look stressed at all. However… her clothes and the way she walked—
Li Han opened his computer and typed Lily’s name and profile with her previous images. Slowly, his eyes widened as the realization hit him. She — she might be pregnant!
