Chapter 101: One Year Later.

ONE YEAR LATER.

Zhou Xi smiled at the camera as the photographer took another photo of her. Her smile did not even fade when the reporters rush to her and started asking her questions.

"How does it feel to win the best upcoming actress?" A reporter asked.

Zhou Xi let out a bright smile and said "It feels unreal. Ever since I was little I had always dreamed of being an actress and now my dream has been fulfilled and it’s all thanks to Li Lingyun who supported me when I wanted to give up."

"Is it true that you and Mr.Li are more than friends?" Another reporter asked.

Zhou Xi tried her best to hide her smile as she said "Those rumors are all incorrect. Mr.Li and I are just friends and nothing more."

After the reporters has left, Zhou Xi tried calling Li Lingyun but no answer.

....

Su Yin threw the remote at her Tv as she wondered who this Zhou Xi was? How could she have gotten so close to Li Lingyun in just a year? What charm did she use on him?

No... Li Lingyun belongs to her, she must find a way to destroy this Zhou Xi. Her biggest problem was Shen Yi and now that she is gone, she would not allow an insignificant actress to take her man away from her.

Li Lingyun belongs to her and no one else.

...

"Come in." Li Lingyun said as he heard a knock on the door.

Gu Wei walked into Li Lingyun office and said "The meeting with SC corporation will start in fifteen minutes and rumors about you and Miss Zhou being in an affair has been speculating and to make it worst, Miss Zhou mentioned your name as the person who helped her to fulfilled her dreams."

"It’s Alright." Li Lingyun coldly replied.

Gu Wei frowned at his replied. Ever since Mrs Li fell into a coma, his boss has become even more colder and isolated than before. And to worsen everything he became a workaholic. If not for Li Xiao, he doubt if he would be able to recognize his boss.

Suddenly Gu Wei phone rang and he immediately answered it. He frowned when he listened to the other party and said "He will there soon." Before hanging up the call.

He looked at Li Lingyun and said "Li Xiao school called. They say she got into a fight again."

Li Lingyun sighed when he heard that and massage his temple. "Clear my schedule for the day. I will handle Li Xiao myself."

"But the meeting..."

"Reschedule it or cancel it. Whatever you think is best." Li Lingyun said coldly and walked out.

.....

Royal High Academy.

Li Lingyun walked to the principal office and heard a voice shouting "She is a monster for doing this to her classmate."

Li Lingyun opened the door without knocking and said "I dare you to repeat that."

The woman who said those words looked into Li Lingyun cold eyes and shivered.

The principal immediately stood up and said "Mr. Li. Please have a seat."

Li Lingyun just looked at the principal and asked "What happened?"

The principal trembled at Li Lingyun tone said "According to the other students, Li Xiao was the first to push the other girl and that was how the fight began."

"And why did Li Xiao pushed her?"

"My daughter was obviously abused by your daughter. "

Li Lingyun looked at the woman and said Shut your mouth." And then his gaze went back to the principal "What cause the fight?"

The principal swallow his spit and said "The young girl said Li Xiao did not have a mother and that was how the fight began."

Li Lingyun face darken as he heard that. He looked at the woman who was still looking at him as if what her daughter said was not wrong. "I want her out."

"What?" The principal asked.

Li Lingyun looked at the principal coldly and said "Whoever that girl is, I want her out of Li Xiao class."

"You can’t do that." The woman shouted

"I can and I just did." Li Lingyun said and walked out of the principal office.

He went to his daughter classroom and saw her standing at the front of her class.

Li Xiao eyes brighten when she saw her father. She ran to him and hugged his legs.

Li Lingyun chuckled and bent to her level, he hugged her tightly as he asked "Your did you get in a fight?"

Li Xiao just hid her face in Li Lingyun neck without saying anything.

Li Lingyun sighed and carried his daughter in his arm as he asked "Should we go see mummy?"

Li Xiao just nodded and kept her face hidden in her father’s neck.

.....

Imperial hospital.

Li Lingyun placed Li Xiao beside Lin Yan bed and just watched as his daughter held her hand. It’s been a year and she has not even once opened her eyes. The doctor said the possibility of her coming out of the coma was low and he did not mind because he knew that regardless of what the doctor says she will come out. His Lin Yan is a fighter and he knows she will fight this.

Li Xiao looked at him and asked "When will mummy wake up?"

Li Lingyun smiled and said "Very soon. In the meantime you have to be a good girl and stop fighting."

Li Xiao eyes were suddenly filled with tears as she said "She was the one who was first mean to me."

"That doesn’t mean you have to fight. What if you got hurt in the middle of the fight? Do you think I can stand to see you hurt? If your mommy were to wake up and see an injury on you, wouldn’t that make her sad?"

Li Xiao suddenly burst into tears as she said "I’m sorry."

Li Lingyun sighed and hugged his daughter "It’s alright. I love you Li Xiao and always remember that your mom loves you too and when she wakes up, she will be glad to see you safe and unharmed."

...

Lin An who had just finished making dinner for himself heard a knock on the door. Wondering who it was, he opened it and before he could even say anything, a little girl hugged him as she shouted "Uncle An."

Lin An sighed and said "How many times have I told you no hugging."

Li Xiao looked at Lin An and ran inside the house.

Although Lin An showed that he was annoyed, one could also noticed the little smile on his face.

"Where is your dad?" Lin An asked as he followed Li Xiao inside without closing the door.

"I’m here."

Li Lingyun said as he entered the house carrying Li Xiao school bag which he gave to Lin An.

Lin An looked at his watch and said "Shouldn’t she still be in school by this time? Let me guess, she got into a fight again, didn’t she?" Their was a smile on his face as he asked.

Li Lingyun rolled his eyes and said "I guess you are rubbing off on her. I should have limited her time with you."

"Then why didn’t you?"

Li Lingyun looked at his daughter who was running around the kitchen and said "You are her mother only family?"

Lin An smirk and walked closer to Li Xiao. "I heard you fought at school."

Li Xiao cheek became red as she nodded her head.

Lin An smiled and asked "Who won?"

Li Xiao smiled brightly as she said "I did."

Lin An ruffled her hair as he said "That’s my girl."

"Still, fighting is bad." Li Lingyun shouted for both of them to hear.

Lin An ignored his words and said "For making me proud, I will make whatever you want to eat."

Li Xiao eyes as she asked "Really?"

"Of course."

Li Lingyun sighed as he saw their interaction. Ever since Lin Yan slipped into a coma. He decided to give Lin An another chance with his daughter and thankfully he has never advice her to stabbed a classmate again. Although he still teaches how to always fight back whenever she is bully, Li Lingyun has also caught him teaching her not to be too proud because of her wealth and to always help others who are in need. Itade him to realize that, perhaps Lin An wasn’t entirely a bad influence on Li Xiao.

....

After Li Lingyun tucked Li Xiao on the bed, he went to the living room and saw Lin An drinking.

"Aren’t you getting addicted to alcohol?"

"Says the workalcholic." Lin An scoffed and drank a mouthful of beer.

Li Lingyun sat beside him and said "I heard some investors are pulling out of your company. Who did you offend this time?"

Lin An smiled and said "Some spoiled brat who thinks the world revolves around him. I will handle it."

Li Lingyun collected a can of beer besides him and opened it, he drank a little and then asked "Why aren’t you asking me anything?"

Lin An looked at Li Lingyun and asked "What do you want me to ask you? About the rumors of you and Zhou Xi?"

"Hmm."

Lin An suddenly let out a rare smile as he said with conviction "You will never cheat on her. That’s the only reason I tolerate your presence in house."

Li Lingyun looked at Lin An for a brief moment before turning away and drinking his can of beer in a go and asked "Lin Yan, how was she like when she was Li Xiao age?"

Lin An suddenly let out a soft laugh and said "If you are expecting a story of a little girl who smiled and love everyone around her then you are highly going to be disappointed."

"You think the fact of you both killing your stepfather doesn’t make me know that already."

Lin An smiled and said "Unlike Li Xiao she wasn’t lovely to others but to me she was the most prettiest girl. Lin Yan was the type who hurt whoever hurted her and whenever our Mom would hit her, Lin Yan would always find a way to get back at her. While growing up, she was labeled crazy, weird and some even called her a freak, she never spoke back to them but always got back at them, always taking away what they treasure the most. Destroying their toys, killing their pets, exposing their parents affair, she always find a way to hurt them but...."

"But what?" Li Lingyun knew Lin Yan wasn’t a kind princess from a fairytale but he wished he was there for her, to protect her, to tell her that their words didn’t matter.

Lin An opened another can of beer and said "Forget it."

"But what, Lin An?"

Lin An sighed and said "But, whenever she does those things, I would always find her in a corner crying. Saying she didn’t mean to. My heart would always ache whenever I saw her like that and my hatred for our mother would grow stronger because I blamed her for everything. And when she selfishly took her life, I hated her more, couldn’t she have done it when Lin Yan was not there, why did she have to do it in front of us. Although I ignored it but deep within I knew Lin Yan and I were never going to be the same. We felt messed up but never said it.

Lin Yan became more violent, more daring, she changed into another person and it took me a while to realize that she was indeed another person." A tear slipped out of Lin An eyes as he remembered their childhood.

Meanwhile, Li Lingyun froze when he heard Lin An words, he looked at Lin An and asked "Did Lin Yan had DID?"

Lin An was silent for a brief moment before saying "Yes."
