Offer To The CEO

Chapter 713 - Anniversary - Part 5

Wednesday, continued …

Anna stood there with her mouth open wide.? She could not believe her mother-in-law.

"Anna, Yi is my son, but I remember the early years of my marriage.? My in-laws allowed us to appropriately celebrate special events together while they took care of Yi for us.? Now, I am doing the same thing for you." With a grin on her face she added "And more importantly I can spend LOTS of Yi's money, without argument."

"Still a shopaholic?"

"Of course.? I just do it more effectivelly now, getting more but spending less.? Your first wedding anniversary is a special occasion and it has to be appropriately marked.? I know the perfect places to visit, and I will come and take Jang to spend the night with Grandma, Grandpa, Great-Grandma, Great-Grandpa and his favourite Great-Aunt."

Gently hitting her hand on her head Anna said, "And we simply have to worry about the consequences of your spoiling him."

"Of course, that is what grandparents do, and parents have to deal with the consequences of that," came the laughing reply.

After finishing their drinks, Anna quickly checked on Jang, before heading out shopping with Du AnLing.

A few hours later when they arrived back at the Villa, just before Du AnLing left with Jang and the nannies, Anna turned to her and said, "Thank you."

"What for.? I should be thanking you.? You have made Yi so happy and given our family this precious little one.? All I ask if for you to be yourself and keep Yi happy." With that Du AnLing lent over and gave Anna a brief kiss on the cheek before sweeping out of the Villa with Jang and the Nannies trailing behind her.

As she arrived in their suite Anna found the efficient staff had already brought the shopping bags in and had case open with clothes for them both to spend the night at the apartment being packed in there.? The staff member asked "Madam, what did you want me to do with the shopping."

Pointing at a couple of bags, Anna said, "Pack those into the case, but otherwise they can be packed away, except that one," Anna pointed to another bag "Which I will use now."

Picking up the bag she indicated, Anna moved into the en-suite to shower again and change.? Dressing she could not believe what she had allowed her mother-in-law convince her to wear.? On finishing dressing, she looked in the mirror and could see that Du AnLing was right.? she was dressed to tempt her husband to leave work and spend the balance of the day at their apartment.

Anna left the villa and settled into the waiting car for the drive to Hou Enterprises.? She leant her head back and drifted off to sleep, only waking when they reached Hou Enterprises, and quickly climbed out and headed inside to go up to Hou Yi's office.

As it had been a few months since she had been in Hou Enterprises she could see the staff were watching as she moved through the building and eventually exited the elevator and headed towards Hou Yi's office.? As she reached Assistant Wang's desk, where he stood up and said "Madam, the CEO is in a meeting, but I suspect that he would not mind if you went in."

"How long has his meeting been going?"

"A while, it should be close to finishing." Pausing, he said "But there is something that I think you need to read before I hand it to CEO Hou." With that be picked up some papers and handed it to Anna.

Rather than immediately heading in, she sat down on a chair in Assistant Wang's office and started to read what she was handed.? By the time she finished it, she was surprised, but as she said to herself anything involving Lu Jingho should not surprise her.? It was from Jane Gang and explained to all the precipitants her background with Lu Jingho, the relationship they had, and what was happening with the money she received by the ending of that relationship.? Making sure the victims received their court ordered compensation was generous, as well as setting up the charity to help people like her sister.? Anna could see her motivations were never about money herself, it was about making Lu Jingho hurt like he had hurt her family, and that was fitting.

Additionally, there was a separate doc_u_ment that showed a chain of correspondence with the local law society and the authorities to determine if her action in her representation of him was appropriate and cleared her of any wrongdoing.? As she analysed the correspondence that outcome did not surprise her.? All her observations were that she had been zealous representation of her client, it was just that the evidence against Lu Jingho was so overwhelming in the end, she got the best possible outcome for him.

Finally, there was a short letter indicating that she wished everyone the best in their recovery from what happened, but due to the case and her notoriety she was leaving the country and would be unlikely to return save and except for short visits.

On handing the doc_u_ments back to Assistant Wang she said "Do not hand them to my husband until tomorrow…"

"Do not hand me what until tomorrow?" Came a voice from behind Anna.

"Just something regarding the cause of lots of problems for us, but it is not worth worrying about today."

"You should have come in.? I…"

"Yi you were in a meeting, and I suspect if I had come in I would have distracted you."

"A wonderful distraction…"

"Come on, let me go in with you now."

Nodding, Hou Yi turned to Assistant Wang, and said "Do not disturb us until I tell you otherwise," before turning and gently pulling Anna into his office before shutting the door.
