A Billion Dollar Exchange Chapter 208 ENRAGED

”What is going on? ” She asked, her eyes shifting to her friend. She wondered what they were hiding from her.

”Liling, listen to me…”

Liu Wei tried to call her attention but she immediately cut in,

”What happened? You can tell me, I can handle it.”

She said with a shaky voice. Why were they all looking at her in a concerned manner all of a sudden?

Almost at the same time, Liu Wei’s phone began to ring. It was on the table so he picked it up and looked at the screen.

Father…

Liu Wei felt his throat tightening as he stared at the words written on the screen.

He knew his father must have seen the headline and would be infuriated, but he did not mind at all. Since no-one knew who she was yet, she was safe. All he needed to do is to protect her.

He stared at the phone for a while before putting it on silent then placed it back on the table.

”Let’s eat now, the food would soon get cold.”

Liling was getting confused by the moment. She feared that what was on that phone must have been about her or must have concerned her in some sort, hence they did not want her to see it, but they were forgetting something_ she had her own phone too!

Liling thought for a while then smiled at Liu Wei, her eyes curved like a crescent moon.

”Alright then, let’s eat.”

Jin Yue watched her calm expression with a frown on his face, remembering what happened that afternoon, he knew that Liling had not let go of it. He thought of the next possible thing she would do and his eyes fell on her phone which was lying on the table beside her.

He immediately stretched his hand and took the phone then handed it to Liu Wei.

”Just in case you decide to check up the news…”

Liling’s mouth fell open;

”Jin Yue!! that’s not fair! ”

She immediately looked at Liu Wei and demanded coyly;

”Please, just tell me what it is, I can handle it okay?”

”Eat first, we’ll talk after the meal, okay?”

Liu Wei reassured her with a soothing voice. Liling stared at him for a few seconds then nodded. The meal time was very quiet, no one talking. Liling who was very hungry at first was struggling to force the meal into her mouth.

After the meal, Xin Yong and Jin Yue left for home after waving them goodbye.

The car journey back home was unusually quiet, Liling wanted to ask about the phone incident but she did not know how to bring it up.

”You don’t need to see it, it’ll be settled before tomorrow.”

Liu Wei spoke after a while. He remembered that she had once said that she wanted their relationship to be private for now, so showing her those pictures would make her feel insecure.

Since her face was not captured, it was easier to die down the news.

”Baby…”

She turned to look at him and smiled,

”Don’t worry, if you don’t want me to see it, I would not see it anyway. I was just curious, that’s all.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

She replied with a faint blush on her cheeks, Liu Wei placed his hand on hers and squeezed it reassuringly.

”Trust me, okay?”

”I do.”

…

”HOW DARE HE? THAT BRAT! HOW DARE HE GO AGAINST MY ORDERS? WHO IS THAT WOMAN? WHO IS THAT GOLD DIGGER!!”

Liu Wei’s father barked angrily as he stormed into the parlor. His chest was rising and falling heavily and his face was angrily frosted. The workers all disappeared into their various rooms, no-one wanting to be the scape goat.

Da Xia followed behind silently. She had not yet overcome the shock of what she had seen; her body was still shaking lightly. She found the nearest couch and sat down, her eyes staring blankly into space.

”To think that he would not pick my call! Call him, call him, where is my secretary? Where are you?”

Mr. Fang screamed and a woman in her early thirties came sprinting towards him.

”Yes Sir, you calle…”

”Call him! Call that foolish son of mine!”

”Right away sir!”

She turned around to walk away but Mr. Fang’s words made her pause in her steps.

”Where are you going?!”

”To get … my phone sir…”

”Use this,” he handed his own phone to her, ”call him till he picks the call. Do not stop even for one second!”

”Yes, Sir ”

It was clearly written on his face his anger. He breathed heavily and fell back on the couch behind him.

”Liu Wei! Liu Wei! That brat!”

He had thought that when Liu Wei refused marrying Da Xia, he just wanted to be stubborn but that afternoon had exposed everything.

There was a woman in his life…

He knew how stubborn a man could be for a woman he loved. He was a living witness.

He knew how stubborn he was to his parents when they refused him getting married to Liu Wei’s mom and when there was no other way; he put her in the family line, thereby forcing them to accept her.

Liu Wei had never gone against him before, even when he stopped him from doing what he loved most, he did not object. This was different, he knew it was going to be tough but he must have to marry Da Xia. That was the only way.

”Sir, he’s on the line.”

The secretary handed the phone back to Mr. Fang, who took it from her immediately and placed it on his ear.

” FANG LIU WEI.”

Liu Wei had waited for Liling to go in for a shower before walking to the balcony to pick up his father’s call.

”Yes Father.”
