SWNOVELS Chapter 167: The Little Beginning
Lu Jingli was able to get himself employed. He got a loan and started his mini company dealing in agency and sales of properties.
He soon added sales of stationeries in large quantities and wholesale. He had put everything in order and intends to get more money from Mo's business to kick start his company and same time, own a large percentage of the business shares.
But Theresa Mo came and everything was lost. He was glad he walked away with his sanity and freedom. Thank goodness she didn't arrest him or lay charges against him for the part he played back then in selling her off.
Part of the loan he acquired, he bought himself and his mother a small house and it was quite cheap because it was located at the outskirts of the city.
Though Cherry Lu spent most of her time grumbling about everything and anything she sees or comes across, she was inwardly grateful that she and her son were not rendered homeless.
Lu Jingli was able to get an accommodations and they left the shabby hotel where they had put up for two days.
Fully occupied with establishing his company and making new connections with big companies to patronize and recognize him, Lu Jingli didn't have the time to think of a woman.
But Tiana Mo and her mother Molly Mo never cease to curse him whenever they talk about him. He had sold them out and didn't care as much as to receive payment for selling them.
The one they wanted to send completely out of the Mo's business and of which they succeeded for a while returned to the business via Lu Jingli's help.
And now she not only returned, she took everything from them. She owns three out of four parts of the business.
She would even come and preside over it. She isn't going to last long in that position. It's a question of time and she would be no more!
That evening, after the day's work, Lanre's foster parents called. They were bothered that he hadn't come check on them in a while.
He had promised to travel over to see them but later called and said he wouldn't be able to make it. He was doing research about his biological parents.
He didn't call to tell them what his findings are. Hence they decided to call and check on him.
Lanre apologized when his parents scolded him for not telling them how far he went with his search for his parents.
He said he was sorry and said he truly found out his origins but both of his parents are dead.
But he had a twin sister and they would least expect to hear that his sister was Theresa Mo, the same woman who they knew.
The news of it made his parents surprised beyond measure. Theresa Mo was actually Lanre's biological sister?
No wonder the bond they share was strong and Lanre went outside his convenience to see her feel well.
They congratulated him for finding his sister and same time, consoled him for not being able to get to meet his parents before their death.
They asked that he send their regards to his sister and hope he would be tying the knot with his heartthrob soon.
His mother said she longs to carry her grandchildren. Lanre said he would be getting engaged soon.
When Carol walked through the door and got into the sitting room, she sank into the sofa. Theresa Mo followed and Junxie Li entered smoking.
Whenever Junxie Li smokes, he is going to make a drastic decision and do something that will be speechless.
Cheng Li heard the horn of the cars while he was in his study and knew his wife and children were back.
He came downstairs and saw everyone seated quietly and not saying anything. Julia opened the door and Walked in like a man who was caught in adultery with another man's wife. He looked ashamed and couldn't even raise his head to stare at anyone. Cheng Li saw his younger son's Looks and glanced at Junxie's, he knew something wasn't right.
"Carol, are you alright?" Cheng Li asked. His wife looked like someone who was worked up and tired from a stressful day's activities.
"No I am not..." Carol explained everything that she heard that day and Cheng Li just listened, he couldn't believe his son could do that. There was silence. "How can you do this Julia? You ruin the reputation of this family and do things as if you are unquestionable?
I will personally deal with you. Even if Junxie decides not to do anything, you will definitely need some scolding..." Cheng Li declared.
"I am sorry dad. I allowed my vengeful spirit to take control of my rationality..."Julia was apologizing.
If his parents also go against him, he would be in a big mess. He needed to have them on his side to tamper Junxie's punishment.
"Shut the crap Julia!! You have a problem, a big one at that. I ordered you to marry Rita for the sake of the pregnancy.
You were angry and said all manner of things to avoid the marriage. Unable to escape from it, you got married and secretly divorced her.
You lied by pretending to be Rita's husband. Even someone as distant as Alfred knows you are a womanizer and knew you slept out with another woman last night.
You are simply irresponsible. Your sexual desires have led you to this point. Now that Child is gone and you have made a fool of yourself before those who held you in high esteem.
Since you defy my orders and let a child, a seed from Li's family, die prematurely, you will pay for it.
You will have to compensate Rita for making her go through such pain and torture..." Junxie Li declared.
"Whatever the punishment will be, I don't want to see you anywhere near me Julia. I can't imagine having a Son like you" Carol Li declared.
She eyed him and hissed between gritted teeth. Such a shameless son she's got.
"This is my decision, you are henceforth banned from being a member of this family until further notice. I don't want you anywhere in the group or any of this family's properties.
All your properties and finances were to be divided into two parts, one for you and the other for Rita. And yours will be frozen until I decide to unfreeze it.
You are not to travel out of the country either, you remain here and bear your punishment until I deem fit to lift the ban.
And lastly, I don't want you anywhere close to my kids. Don't pervert their nature..." Junxie Li declared
