"Dinah! What’s the matter with you?"
Victor Chu tried to catch up with her while she kept running.
By the lake, one kilometer away from Chen's house, she squatted down, staring at the ripples on the lake with tears streaking her face.
"Brother Victor, am I a bad member of my family? My grandma doesn't like me. My sister, my parents don't like me. I think I am the fifth wheel in the Chen family.” Dinah dejectedly said, holding the skirt horn.
"Actually you are the tenderest one." Victor said subconsciously.
"Really?" Dinah looked up.
"Of course!"
He didn't know why she said that.
But everything was clear when he saw the red scar on her face. His face looked strained immediately.
"Who hit you? Your parents?" Victor lowered his voice.
Dinah shook her head.
"It’s your sister Daisy?"
"Please stop asking me. It's all my fault. I understand my parents’ bad mood. After all, my sister should have been the project leader of the Chen family and the Pearl Group if the Pearl Group hadn’t cancelled the cooperation with us. My sister lost such an important opportunity to succeed. No wonder she got angry and disappointed. I understand." She puckered her lips.
Hearing what she said, he eventually understood that Fu Cai, the CEO of Pearl Group, really cancelled the cooperation with the Chen family in no time. What a remarkably determined CEO of a big company.
"Go back to school. Everything will be okay." He helped Dinah up and wiped the tears away from her eyes. "Why are you still crying like a little girl?"
Dinah burst into laughter, rolling her eyes at his words.
As a sophomore, she usually lived in school except weekends. After sending her to school, Victor called Xi Ming for the phone number of Fu.
"Mr. Cai, it’s Victor."
"Young Master, what can I do for you?"
"I want you to continue the cooperation with the Chen family. But the request is that Dinah should be in charge." He said.
"Well…"
“Anything wrong?”
"Absolutely not! I’ll do it now as you told. "
After hanging up, he gritted his teeth. In the three years, Dinah had been taking good care of him considerately. Being an emotional creature, he couldn’t denied that he indeed had special feelings for her. The distinct difference between Dinah and Daisy even strengthened such special feelings.
Pearl Group is Pearl Group. Its efficiency was so high that the old lady of the Chen family received the special request from the Pearl Group only two hours later. For the sake of Chen family, she agreed without any hesitation because she knew that the Chen family couldn't compete with the Pearl Group.
"Zhang, please tell Shouguo the project leader has changed, not Daisy any more. Remember, it’s Dinah now."
After Zhang left, the old lady stayed at home alone, wondering why they have to appoint Dinah to be in charge of the cooperation. Does they know her? How is it possible?
...
Daisy was crying in her bedroom no matter how Yulan White and Shouguo comforted her.
They understood that no one could accept the result, not to mention Daisy. She should have been a millionaire to share the Chen family's property with Wenjie Chen if the project was done well. However everything was gone now. How could she accept it.
"Knock, knock, knock. "
"Open the door, I’m Zhang. Good news!" A voice came from outside the door.
"Zhang? Good news?" Daisy rushed to the door and opened it. "Uncle Zhang, will the Pearl Group cooperate with us?"
She had hope again.
"Absolutely! The Pearl Group just called me that the cooperation will go on! Hah!" Zhang looked very happy.
"Yeah! I knew it!" Daisy signed with relief and jumped up excitedly.
"But it will be Dinah in charge of the project. Anyway, it makes no difference. You are a family." Zhang said with a smile.
However, Daisy’s face clouded, whose smile also turned frozen.
"What did you say? It’s not me? Why? Who decided? Did Dinah ask grandma to do that?"
"What a bitch! She must have told grandma that I beat her, causing grandma to appoint her instead of me out of pity. I should have known that she was definitely a shameless bitch! I want to kill her!"
"I need to meet grandma!"
She ran out crazily while screaming.
Zhang stood at the door at a loss.
"Let her go. It’s indeed unreasonable. Does Dinah have any possible ability to run a business? She should focus her attention on studies as a sophomore." Shouguo said.
"Yeah, Daisy is about to graduate. It’s time to take over the family business." Yulan agreed.
Daisy rushed into the Chen’s house while shouting, “Grandma, it’s unfair!”
The security guards and the nannies in the yard looked at each other at a loss.
Why is she going crazy now? Didn’t she leave here happily before?
The old lady looked at her rushing in injuredly.
"Grandma, you have told it’s me in charge of it. Why it’s Dinah now? It’s unfair. I have been wronged for three years without any dignity. It’s a rare opportunity for me to recover. How can you do that?"
"Moreover, Dinah doesn’t know about the project at all. She doesn’t have worldly wisdom. How can she utilize the proper way to negotiate with the Pearl Group? We can’t even imagine what would happen if she take charge of the project! If she disgusts the Pearl Group, it will a big loss for us. "
Daisy never stopped complaining since she came in.
The old lady sighed lightly.
"This request was made by the Pearl Group."
"What? They made it?" Daisy opened her mouth in disbelief.
"Why? Do they know her? Why did they appoint her?"
"I don't know why. Anyway, it’s the only request. I have to do what they request." The old lady said expressionless.
She looked tired and waved her hand, "Go back home then. I need a rest. You are a family. There is no need to quarrel over something insignificant."
Daisy left disappointedly, with resentment and perplexity on her face.
When Yulan and Shouguo heard about this, they were also confused why the Pearl Group made such a request.
"I’ll question her in person after she comes back. There must be something more we don’t know!" Yulan said.
"I need to meet her now. How dare she grab my business? " As soon as she got home, she felt even more angry and rushed out to school.
Dinah was indeed at school now.
