Illicit Relationship

'I'm indeed stupid!'

Xi Xingyi regretted everything.

She regretted loving Han Shutai, and she regrated helping him get a promotion. She even regretted accepting his love.

She had done many things for him, and here, he was threatening her. He even said he would spread her naked photos and videos on the internet if she refused his wish.

"Haha. I will give you one day to prepare everything. If you don't give me what I want tomorrow, get ready to be famous on the internet. Haha." After saying that, Han Shutai left.

Xi Xingyi could not do anything and only gritted her teeth. The consequences would be fatal for her and her company if he really spread her naked photos and videos on the internet.

"Madam, let's go back first to come up with a plan to deal with this matter." Of course, Leng Nichang could understand Xi Xingyi's feelings.

"Un." Xi Xingyi nodded her head.

----

Xi Company, Xi Xingyi's Office.

Xi Xingyi was currently in her office with Leng Nichang. Her two bodyguards were standing behind her because she needed protection.

The duo was currently discussing ways to deal with Han Shutai. To their surprise, Xi Ran suddenly entered Xi Xingyi's office.

Xi Xingyi was pleased because it was her daughter's first visit to her office in six months.

"How is it?" Xi Ran inquired.

"It's like this." Leng Nichang explained everything in detail.

Xi Ran looked at her mother before finally sitting next to her. She blamed her mother for not listening to her, but she did not have the heart to say it.

She only sat next to her mother without saying anything.

"Ran…" Xi Xingyi embraced her daughter.

Actually, she was a strong woman. She did something like this because she wanted to take advantage of the situation.

In short, she wanted to take this opportunity to improve her relationship with her daughter!

Xi Ran hugged her mother too. "I'm sure we can handle this problem."

To their surprise, Xi Xingyi's smartphone suddenly rang.

'Xiao Tian?'

She was startled.

She picked up the phone and said, "Hello, Xiao Tian?"

Xi Ran was surprised when she found out that Xiao Tian had her mother's number. After all, she did not know about her mother's relationship with him.

"Xi, how is it?" he wanted to know what had happened to them.

"He threatened me." Xi Xingyi gave an honest answer.

"Threatening you?" he still did not get her words.

"Xiao Tian, you are right. Shutai was the one who put the mini camera in my house." Xi Xingyi responded, "He threatened me using it earlier, saying he would spread my naked photos and videos on the internet if I refused to give what he wanted."

"What?!" Xiao Tian said in surprise. "What does he want from you?"

"He wants one hundred million Yuan or half of my companies." Xi Xingyi could not hold back her anger when she remembered Han Shutai's words.

"Where are you right now?" He wanted to meet her because talking face to face was better than talking over the phone.

"I'm at my company." Xi Xingyi responded, "I will send my location to you."

"I will be right there." After saying that, Xiao Tian hung up the phone and traveled to her company.

Xi Xingyi put her smartphone on the table before finally speaking, "Xiao Tian will be here in a few minutes."

"What is your relationship with him?" Xi Ran asked curiously.

"Our relationship is…." Xi Xingyi could not answer her daughter's question immediately.

She did not have a special relationship with him, but they had done passionate kiss more than three times.

'Is it a friend with benefits?'

She asked in her head.

"Ran, your mother introduced herself as your older sister so he still doesn't know the truth until now." Leng Nichang began explaining everything.

She said Xi Xingyi met Xiao Tian in Japan. At that time, he mistook her for Xi Ran. This was the reason why Xi Xingyi pretended to be Xi Ran's elder sister.

"You are pretending to be my elder sister?" Xi Ran found it hard to believe what she was hearing.

Sure, her mother still looked young, but she was already forty-five years old. Her mother should not pretend to be her elder sister because she was already old.

"Ran, it has been a while since someone called me big sister and thought of me as a woman in my twenties. Can you please pretend to be my younger sister later?" of course, Xi Xingyi realized that her wish was absurd.

However, she still wanted to pretend to be Xi Ran's elder sister because she felt happy whenever Xiao Tian saw her as a young lady.

"How long are you going to lie to him? You know you can't lie to him forever, right?" Xi Ran was sure Xiao Tian would be disappointed if her mother kept lying to him.

Maybe he would get angry at her because the feeling of being lied to was not good, especially from close friends.

"I will reveal everything after we solve this problem." Xi Xingyi had the intention of revealing her true identity because she was aware of the consequences if she continued to lie to him. "Ran, please pretend to be my younger sister later. Don't you want to make your mother happy?"

"What is this? Do you like him?" Xi Ran inquired.

Xi Xingyi was startled by her daughter's question.

Like Xi Xingyi, Leng Nichang was also shocked. She looked at Xi Xingyi because she wanted to hear the answer.

Actually, she wanted to ask this question since a few days ago, but she did not dare to bring it up.

"Madam Xi, do you like Xiao Tian?" Leng Nichang asked curiously.

Xi Xingyi looked at her daughter and Leng Nichang.

'Do I like Xiao Tian?'

That was the question that appeared in her mind.

[A/N: I made a mistake in the previous chap. Xi Ran didn't go to the Shanghai River with Xi Xingyi. I forgot to delete her name. I'm sorry for this.]
