As decided,they walked towards the room.once inside,they were about to close the door behind, when the door was stucked halfway;with a pair of hand blocking it.

" Wait,I want to listen too.." shizux said,with a pleasing eye... rather then a please,it was a rough order,more of a Demanding.

" No way...don't act like a spoiled kid...just go sleep.." mr.lan ordered with a deep stotic voice,..his face had scary look..with sharp glares perching in slim body,of the young kid,who had not even a bit of fear..from it.

" Dad,.. don't you think I can be a little help....or...... rather mom would be more useful.."shizux backfired threatening..

"You brat ,dare threaten me...are you keen do die..."mr.lan whose anger had reached the top level..shouted;doing his best to make other surrender which was all in vain.

"Dad..it's not a threatening..just a kind suggestion.."shizux replied with a smirk over his face,all his act of being a obdient child of his parents had long disappeared the moment he entered the house...the where power speak,has no place of innocence and obedience.

{ The battlefield were,being tough would win you the battle,!!!}

"You..u..u" mr.lan who had already lost his words against his own blood and flesh, trembled in frustration...he really sucks as a father....

Before this argue continued the loud growled voice made them tensed.. stunned at the spot.

" Enough!"wangji shouted in anger,he had lost his patience the one who had carried a calm face all the while,had changed.

" enough with the act....You think I am too free to see your family drama,since you have nothing to say,I am leaving first.." wangji said,and was about to leave the room,when the old lady block his way stopping him...

" Wait...we will talk.."she pleased,wangji looked her with sharp eye,no one in the place ever dare to stop him,but here the lady stood straight still..like a rebellious solider..as if she was confident,to win.

And as expected of her ,she won...not because wangji feared her..it can't be called a respectful act..there relationship was something beyond explanation..they don't share a bloodline,but it was thicker then the blood,which stood still..when all there faded.

Wangji sighed moving back, given them chance to continue...not the fight,but the thing they want to discuss with him.

" And you, shizux can join but..but one think you must keep in mind,no word shall leave this room.." she said, conclude... shizux was crystal clear what it meant......no word shall leave the room,....as if it was possible,even if no one ,utter it outside..it still possible to revel the secret.

Shizux gestered his hand , zipping his mouth.. showing his fast aggrement to the given proposal.,on other hand wangji walked to center table,with a smirk on his face.... sitting on his regular place,the place meant for the head of house..his hand skidded his way under the table..on a red alert button...but he paused;....his finger tapped beside it,as if wanting to press the button,but his mind wondered over hundred of other possibilities right at the moment,he closed his eyes....waited ,and retracted his hand back resting it on the table, without pressing the button.

The door was closed , everyone were at there position..for wangji it was regular,but for other..it was like a battlefield they planned to win.

As silence engulf the room, wangji eyed everyone..his gaze landing on familiar faces.. waiting for some words from them.

And before he could dismiss all of them,mr.lan was first to break the silence.

" Wangji..what do you think about sean ." as usual,mr.lan being straightforward asked ,others almost wanted to smash there head..a chuckle left shizux mouth which soon was muted,by sharp glazing eye...as if eyes were weapons to make them stunned.

"By Sean,You mean , brother of mrs.yanli?"a stupid question thrown from the great mighty head of the house.

" No,by Sean we mean ..the one whom yuan called his mom."old lady,said cutting all the word,and false attempt to distract the leading topic... wangji brows tugged up,as a frowned appeared over the milky white face...the hidden meaning behind the uttered was clear and he knew where it was leading.

But the one you was enjoying most was none other then shizux,unable to control his laugh, anymore..a long pressed chuckled left over his lips,and right at the moment three sharp gazes landed over him, although he was not a fault..but provoking the settled tension can be counted as a sin...and the poor boy had to face it all alone.

" Grandma, please calculate your words before speaking.."wangji said, turning back his focus from the mischievous one to the two elder present there.

"What!!.."the later had a surprised look , getting a cold reply from wangji.but they were not ready to give up...not after what they had encountered in the daylight...... composing from the shock, gaining back there strength..the old lady dared to question again.

" Fine!! I will be straight....it's time for you to think about remarrying..Sean wuxie is good candidate for the this.."

" No"a fast denying from the poker face.

" Why??"

"Because I don't think I need one."

" You don't need one..!!" Old lady repeated the same passage,not to confirm her hearing power ..but to rather mock at someone's ignorance...as she continued" You know better then us,you need one...how long do you think that old fox will wait....for.."

" Mom,you can't call my father ..a fox..."Before she could continue mr.lan cutted her in middle saving a last bit of respect.

" And who the hell is your mom, don't you dare build any unnecessary relationship with me..call me madam ."she yelled back, hearing her mr.lan went pale and dejected at the same time...it's been years,and he still could not gain a forgiveness from the old lady...he decided to remain silent, not to extend this matter any further,as it was not the main point today....the thing that nead to focus is Sean wuxie.

Old lady turned back to meet wangji as she continued.." wangji don't be fool,in two months yuan will be four ..and with that your granted time limit will also over...what will you do then...that old fox had accepted your demand once out of guilt..but not always...even if we some how manage to make him at our side...how are you going to deal with all those greedy bastard....you need a wife to inherit the power.."she explained,which was quite surprising for other, especially the language she used.

Wangji maintained his calm posture, straighting his back over the chair..he said " they all are just a chesspiece for me...and regarding the inheritance,I still hold a trump card in my hand"

" Wangji don't be too selfish ,for once can't you think about yuan...he needs mother..and after today's incidents..he need Sean as at that position.." mr.lan interrupted the talk,....and the lady nodded in agreement.

" Yuan is a child...he will forget it after sometime,you don't need to be concerned about him."wangji instructed, asking them to take this incident as a accident...

" I am your father..yuan is my grandson..how can I not be conc..er.." mr.lan words were cutted in middle,..as wangji stood up from his chair followed by others,....

" Father.. grandson,do you even know the meaning behind them.... something like that doesn't exist in our family...mr.lan" wangji wishpered yelled,his voice was not loud..but the intense gaze he was throwing on his father was Sharp enough to drill a hold in his soul,so he could see through all his past in a that split of seconds.

Silence engulfed the room once again,as no one dare to break the muteness...they feared,this conversation would turned into a turmoil if not stopped at once.

" Shhh..let's not talk about that..let past be past....." Old lady,managed the situation making them to sit back....

" Wangji, yuan need Sean in his life...Sean is the only one who can make yuan laugh...that kid had taken him as his mother,..and this time we can't fool him anymore.....Sean was able to do ,what we can't do in all this year's....for first time yuan was comfortable with someone a part from you....he is the only one he talked...."

" Wrong...he talked with that kid..to..o...." Shizux cutted the words, jumping in between...all along he kept his mouth shut,and once he opened it ...the thing he said shocked all the presence...all eyes focused on him, demanding for explanation. It took a second for shizux to realize what he had just uttered,his slip of toungh could send him straight to grave if not controlled.

But since the mistake was already done,there was no turning back....the seed of suspiciousness that he had just planted can't be destroyed to easily,and making a fake incident was rather more difficult, knowing wangji nature..we would dig it up,if not satisfied...that how shizux ended up telling almost exposing the mistake he did in partnership with Sean.

(Sean who was about to sleep ...felt a chill all over his body..)

the first words wangji said,after hearing all this was "irresponsible" but he didn't realize his reaction had almost angered the elder,who were gritting there teeth to surpress there keen intend to beat him up.as if they could.

" Wangji you are not making any Sense,after all this you have this to say...you saw how yuan got lost,but not how he behaved,..our yuan is a genius boy...but he not a normal like all other kid,he don't play..don't talk...not make friends..."old lady,fired up telling the fact.

" Are they even important??"

" Yes,a kid should behave like a kid...If not they are treated as abnormal,and that what happening with him.....or do you really want a walking doll instead of a kid.."

"And how are you sure Sean will treat him kindly,or rather why would he marry someone with a kid,??"wangji asked,as it was a big question,why would someone as young as Sean would marry a man with a kid,...and 8f he dies, doesn't it show how greedy he is about money,for a person marrying in lan family only has one purpose that's money and luxuriousness...but one thing was clear that the elders have passed the first step to the success... question from wangji showed that maybe he could agree to make Sean as his spouse.

" wangji don't missjudge your self,you are still young and handsome..making them agree is not a big problem,no one dares to reject proposal from lan..and on top of that Sean also like yuan.." the lady, replied,moking wangji not to dought in himself.with confidence in her voice.

" Liking someone and taking him as your child is different thing,how can I be sure he will treat yuan as his own child ,I don't want to bring a stepmom for my kid.."wangji asked, doubting it.his fear was not irrelevant,yuan being a special kid would have to suffer if Sean really mistreated him.....he don't want his yuan to get tied up in this hatred game of power and inheritance.....

"I am more experienced then you,Sean will love yuan more than you, have faith in this old lady.." she said.

"Finally, grandma accepted that she is getting old"shizux being mischievous teased the lady,but he would have never thought that time was against him, gaining him a hit from her.

" Shut up!!"mr.lan shouted,while the lady gave him a Sharp blow of her hand.

Turning back,to see wangji old lady heaved a sigh ...as she cleaned her fist, taking a deep breath..as if gaining all her she finally poured out her demand.." wangji you can't always deny us,..you being head doesn't mean you got the chance to take every decision...I..we won't allow this dictatorship.."

"What if he rejected the proposal??"

Old lady who,had been clenching her fist finally let go off it... sighing in relief...

" He won't" mr.lan replied,

"So, literally you are going to force him...??"

" No,never....how can you think so lowly of us.. wangji"he asked disappointed, thinking what kind of image he had created in his son's mind ...so can he do some so such disgusting thing.

" It is the best ,I could think about you after all this year.." wangji commented, unmoved by the expression he got from the other..he had no simpathy in his heart.

"Ok,fine just give us one month...in this one month we will prove that Sean is best for yuan.....and you won't regret marrying him."mr.lan demanded,it was his way to pay back his son...he can't change the past...but he want to contribute in building his son's future...he won't regret even if wangji doesn't treat him as father, at least he could see them happy before leaving this world.

" And also during this one month,you are not allowed to interfere in anything we do....." Lady added.

Wangji thought for a moment, analyzing the whole matter...he really had no mood to continue this argument and from the expression of others they had no intention to give up....he had a doubt in his heart,for the first time he could not decided whether to accept or deny..in his long career of doing business,he never had met such situations..and it's was obvious, cuz it wasn't a business...

" Ok,deal...you have one month, satisfy me..that he is best for yuan...and no matter what ,you will force him......"wangji lastly agreed.

" No,not like this....you must promise.. swear with yuan name.." old lady cutted him before he could complete....they had got one month,but trusting wangji ,not to interfere was a task,they can't do...

Wangji was a bit surprised,with her..but maintained his posture.."I swear with yuan name.." he promised..with a smirk on his face,that got unnoticed by other...." now get out of the room" he ordered.

The three person,who were about to celebrate there victory with joy were suddenly kicked out of the room,..with a big smile on there faces.and door was shut behind them.

Once out,they exhaled the long pressed breath... getting a fresh air once again,it felt like a tonn of heavy rock was suddenly lifted from there chest, giving access over the life once again.

" So,how are we going to deal with that Sean,and make it possible.."shizux asked the two elders.

"Firstly we need yuan..and second a lots of successful plans....leave yuan to me,plan is over you both.." lady replied her mastermind strategy,it was true, without yuan nothing can be done...

"So..mo..m.. madam,are you ready to work with me as a team..."mr.lan asked extending his hand,which was fastly grabbed by old lady.....they sure give vibe of , success with there grim smile.....as they were about to leave shizux stopped them,... extending his hand he said with a prince attitude..."for bro and yuan's happiness,you can count me in..your team.."

" We don't need you"both rejected in Union walking different way,.... leaving the yelling and threatening shizux alone....

On other hand wangji who was still sitting on his place , extended his hand down the table pressing the red button....."no more eardropping mrs.lan.." he thought.

With a beep an antenna like cable came out from the side box attached with the table,a d all the external signals were blocked at once, seperating the inside and outside world of the room.

At the same time,mrs.lan removed the piece of earpiece from from ear, placing the piece back inside the squared box ..she walked towards her bed...laying down she massaged her temple...." Sean wuxie" she wishpered........."hope ,I am wrong!" She softly added.

While wangji rested his head over the tip of his sweelizing chair... resting for few minutes,he fetched out his phone he dialed a number.....saved as mr.manager.

*********
In a dark room the phone vibrated ,the neon light of from the screen inlightning the small area, killing the darkness,a huge brown up body, covered under the duvet growned,, cursing the murderer of his peaceful sleep..

Ignoring the call,he covered the body more tightly..the phone for a second before going off....the sleepy person was about to land once again in his dream Land,when another ring of the the phone shattered it in pieces.getting frustrated from the continuous call he finally picked the call.

" How the hell is calling late at night??"

" Hello!!"he said,over the phone.....but his face went paled,hearing the voice at other side...the phone slipped from his hand, which was fastly caught by by him... avoided touching the ground.

Taking a deep breath,and relaxing his rasing heart..he prayed ,that other hadn't heard his cursing..

" Hello boss!!"he said softly.

" Manager,find me the I formation about Sean wuxie??" Wangji told from other side.

" Who.. Sean who??"

" Mrs.yanli brother,..find all details about him by tommorow.!"

" But,boss tommorow is weekend..no work!!"

" Oh,then do it right now!!I need it by 6 in morning"

" Boss,...my working hours is over!!"he pleased over the call...he really can't afford to loose his this weekend like all previous weekend.

" By 6 ,on my table.." wangji ordered, cutting the call....

Person other side,layed back ..on verge of crying....good help me,he screamed internally, before kicking the blanket,and jumping out of the bed.

After a long day,this night passed by..with some people getting a peaceful sleep,while other with restless and tiresome night.
