Chapter 505 Obsessive and Manipulative

After what Lily did, rumors about Cindy Hao and Zhou Jingren's relationship died down. Many people speculated that Zhou Jingren or maybe Lily just paid the media to remove the news. However, if Zhou Jingren and Lily paid the websites, why is it that they did not include all the news about Lily's background and achievement?

After the articles, clips of Lily's statement about women's empowerment turned up on social media. This immediately gained the approval of a lot of women. This boosted not only Lily's popularity to the working women. It also increased people's awareness of her company. Overnight, the price of Facci Group's shares increased as many people scrutinized and ended up investing in the company.

"What a brilliant business strategy!" Zhou Dae Un beamed. She took a sip of her coffee and eyed the view from the floor to ceiling window of her husband's office. "Now… everyone knows that you are married to Jingren. Facci Group and Zhou Capital's future is very promising. Wu Ye… you should invest more in the company."

"I already did." Zhou Wu Ye answered as he continued to read the paperwork on his table. "I knew this will happen." He uttered. It wasn't even a week yet and Lily's name already grazed a lot of entertainment news and gossip magazines. This boosted her popularity not just in Hong Kong but also in Mainland China too.

"Is Jingren taking care of you?" Zhou Dae Un frowned as she eyed Lily. "You seemed to lose a little weight. Is he not cooking food? Is he always staying in his office?" The Zhou Dae Un now was the exact opposite of the woman whom Lily met just a weeks back. This woman seemed to smile more and more bubbly compared to the last time that she talked to them.

"It might be because of the weather. I am feeling horrible lately. Jingren had been busy with work, but he always takes care of me." Lily responded with a smile. "Please don't worry."

"Did you drink the supplements that I gave you? Tell me once you ran out, so I can ask my people to get you more." Zhou Dae Un sighed. "Now that you are taking a break, you should get more rest and eat healthier food. I heard that Zhou Jingren hired someone from the orphanage to cook for you?"

"Hmmm… He is the Chef from the orphanage." Lily nodded. She could feel Zhou Dae Un's sincerity and concern towards her. And to be honest, this is making her feel happy. Lily always wonder if this is how it feels to have a mother that dotes on you. "I am also learning some martial arts with Zhou Jingren. That might be the reason why it looks like I am losing weight when I am only gaining more muscles."

Another sighed escaped Zhou Dae Un's lips. "I wish we live next to each other so I could just take care of you and Jingren."

"Dae Un… stop being dramatic." Zhou Wu Ye said. "Why would you live near your son's house? Do you want to disturb a newly married couple?"

Zhou Dae Un rolled her eyes in response. She looked at Lily, who was laughing from Zhou Wu Ye's words. "I promise you. I will not disturb you and Jingren."

"Actually, you can visit us whenever you want," Lily answered. "We have enough rooms for both of you if you decide to visit us."

Zhou Dae Un immediately beamed at her words. "I think we should buy a property in Hong Kong just so we could prepare once Lily gets pregnant." She looked at her husband. "Lily needed all the support that she could get."

However, before Zhou Wu Ye could respond, the door of his office was opened by Zhou Jingtao.

"Wu Ye… we have a problem." Zhou Jing tao's face was dark. He glanced at Lily before he walked towards Zhou Wu Ye. After what happened with Lanying and his family, Zhou Wu Ye still decided to hire him as his VP. Because of this, Zhou Jingtao had actually grown closer to his cousin.

"What is it?" Zhou Wu Ye asked, his brows furrowed.

"Isaac Lee." Zhou Jingtao's words immediately captured both Zhou Dae Un and Lily's attention. Seeing this, Zhou Jingtao continued. "The senile old man is kneeling outside of the building. He said he won't stand up until Dae Un forgives him."

"Then let him kneel." Zhou Dae Un immediately chimed in.

"You don't understand." Zhou Jingtao opened his tablet and showed it to both Lily and Zhou Dae Un. "He has a lot of media personnel with him. They are broadcasting the entire thing online. As you can see… it already attracted a lot of attention from the masses." He shifted his gaze back to Zhou Wu Ye.

"People in China always value filial piety." Zhou Wu Ye said. He pursed his lips as his face turned grim. He then looked at his wife. "He is leaving us with no choice but to acknowledge that you are indeed his daughter, Zhou Jingren's mother. What a crazy old man."

"I told you." Zhou Dae Un's gaze turned chilly. "He will do everything just to get what he wants. He is obsessive and manipulative. He would do everything just to become a part of our lives again." Exhaustion flashed in Zhou Dae Un's eyes. She then looked at Lily. "Is Jingren already coming?"

"Hmmm." She nodded in response. "He is already on his way. I think… two or three minutes away from us."

"What are we going to do?" Zhou Jingtao asked. He had witnessed the craziness of Old Man Lee years ago. He too would not want the old man back in their lives now. Not when he had finally achieved the peace and quiet that he wanted.

"I guess we don't have a choice but to acknowledge the old man." Zhou Wu Ye said. "Are you alright, Dae Un?"

"I am." Zhou Dae Un nodded. "This matter also involves our son. I want to wait for him. So he and Lily could tell us their thoughts about this matter."

"If we acknowledge the old man. It will reveal our chaotic past and I honestly don't want to burden my son with what happened before he was even born." Zhou Dae Un added before she let out another sighed.
