Words I Was Afraid To Hear Chapter 208: Not Forge

"What are your orders?" Ming Rus.h.i.+ talked like she was waiting for command from a supervisor when she was actually talking to her mother.

"Good that you had come to your senses."

Ming Rus.h.i.+ kept an indifferent face, but her teeth were gritted beneath the mauve rouge.

"Right now, it is not the children of Xiu Jin whom we need to eliminate, but their heirs."

Ming Rus.h.i.+'s eyes widened. She had just killed her own child. Does this mean they have to take more innocent lives? At this point, she remembered how regretful it is not to have fled with Fu Bai.

"Don't worry. We won't get our hands dirty. I had called someone...who will do the job." Madam Ming smirked, and her beautiful face once again turned evil.

"Then what do you need me for?" Ming Rus.h.i.+ was regretting everything more and more.

"Well, to carry out the plan, we need information. You can still find out information about the Xiu's even though you were demoted to the branch company, right?" Madam Ming had a mocking smile.

The gritted teeth she chose to hide clashed harder together. Ming Rus.h.i.+ simply said, "Of course."

"Good. Then off you go now. Don't waste our time." Madam Ming gestured to shoo her off.

Ming Rus.h.i.+ left as told.

The smirk on the old lady's face vanished as the door to the study closed.

It is beginning now. She will get back what once was hers...what is supposed to be hers. She will not forget the pain and suffering for her loss, and she will make them feel everything she experienced.

Ming Rus.h.i.+ strode along the hallway with a gloomy and angry look on her face. The maids tried really hard to avoid b.u.mping into her, and no one dared to make eye contact.

It is true that she was demoted to a supervisory position in the shoe company of XCG. Masaichi Xiu had done so before turning over the company to his sister. He cruelly gave her too much workload, then found fault in one of them, making the transfer to the branch company justifiable.

It was a smart move, and Ming Rus.h.i.+ had no chance to redeem herself. She also lost the chance to spy on their important transactions and the personal affairs of the owners.

This task of getting information is harder than when she still had a high position in the main branch. However, she will get it done. The loss of her child will not be in vain.

As they arrived at the Spanish style villa, Verdan Zhou parked near the front door.

He went to the other side of the car and opened the door for Midori, who was still carrying the sleeping baby.

Midori slowly and carefully alighted from the car.

When they were at the front door, Midori instructed, "Pull up the keypad cover."

Verdan Zhou did pull up the copper cover and revealed a keypad, with a biometrics scanner right above it.

"Press 3684..." When she saw his fingers comply, she continued, "Then press your ring finger against the scanner."

Verdan Zhou had knitted brows but complied. It surprised him that the door unlocked.

Midori gave him a knowing smile as they entered.

When the door was shut behind them, she looked around the living room. "You set the code and scanned our fingerprints for security.

"3684?" He was curious as how he came up with it.

"DMTI." she replied, as she gave the sleeping baby a kiss on the forehead.

Verda Zhou felt regret once again. How could he forget his own family?

He followed Midori around the house, but his body taking the steps up the stairs felt natural.

Midori made him open a two-door room. She placed the baby gently on the crib.

Verdan Zhou looked around him. It looked like the master bedroom, with a crib near the king size bed. He deduced that it was their bedroom as he looked around.

Suddenly, he felt her hand holding his, dragging him out of the room, as she gestured for him to stay quiet.

He followed her, holding firmly onto her fair, slender hand.

They arrived at a single door. Midori looked up to him.

"Even if you don't remember now, it's fine." She had a weak smile with her lonely eyes.

She opened the door before he could respond, revealing a room full of photographs.

Verdan Zhou looked at every one of the photos. Regret filled him again. He still does not remember.

Then he turned to face her. He held her shoulders with both hand and sincerely looked at her.

"Midori, from now on, I will not forget."
