"I know that I turned up unannounced but that's quite a welcome," Wei arched his eyebrow and reacted to Mr . Li's rude words .

Mr . Li coloured at the implication and muttered his apologies . Welcoming him inside, he kept frowning at the held hands, enough for his daughter to become aware of it and pull hers away quickly .

Li Yichen didn't know what to make of w.a.n.g Wei's presence . Zhu Cheng who had been waiting in his father in-law's study, came out to see what was taking so long . He had heard a car turn in and waited patiently while his angry father in-law had walked out to get Sam straight into the room .

He was also taken aback when he saw the w.a.n.g heir standing there, his stance protective towards Samantha . Due to her sensitive condition, the family had decided to not involve Yimei into today's confrontation but Grandma Li and Mrs . Li were both present . They hadn't been informed of what had transpired in the past two days because Li Yichen wanted to give Sam a chance to walk out of the place without maligning her name again .

But he was sure that if she tried to backtrack from signing of the papers, he would bring her true colours in front of the family .

"Mr . w.a.n.g, it's a pleasure to welcome you to our house . I am afraid we didn't know that you would be joining us this evening . Please forgive us in our lack of hospitality," Zhu Cheng extended a warm words towards him, after seeing his father in-law standing there in uncertainty .

"There is no need to stand on ceremony . I am here with Sam . Let's get down to business, shall we?" he replied in a brusque manner .

Both the elder ladies looked at Li Yichen in confusion . All he had told them was that Sam wanted to share something important with all of them and hence was coming home this evening . But the undercurrents in the room seemed to suggest something else .

Samantha looked at Wei, as if to draw strength and began speaking, "Mr . Li, you came to my cabin this morning and showed me some evidence which pointed towards my conspiracy to seduce my brother in-law and break my sister's marriage . You had a video and few graphic images with you . Is that correct?"

Loud gasps could be heard from Mrs . Li . She suddenly had a feeling of Déjà vu . Same room, same people, same circ.u.mstances .

At her father's stiff nod, Samantha continued speaking, "now it is my turn to show you some things in return . Kindly allow me to do so . "

Without waiting for his consent, she brought out her laptop and plugged in Wei's phone with it .

Looking at the tableau, Zhu Cheng tried to intervene .

"Uh, Sam . . you misunderstood me . Look, I have no intention of bringing up what has happened . I understand how tough can it be sometimes to let go of someone whom you have loved for all these years . And finding that person in front of you suddenly may make you lose control . I tried telling father also the same thing . I requested him to try and see it from your point of view but I guess he said some harsh things to you this morning . I apologise on his behalf . Also, we have a guest amongst us here . Let's talk about this another time," he said in an apologetic way .

Wei had been standing silently till now but at Zhu Cheng's words, he threw his head back and laughed .

"Have you ever considered trying for the movies? You are quite good," he said .

Cheng's nostrils flared at the insulting implication but he held back his reaction . He didn't want to antagonise the guy with whom he was going to enter into a partners.h.i.+p in the near future .

"Wait till I become a director in the company . I will show you what is my real skill," he thought to himself, savagely .

Li Yichen couldn't hold back anymore and said, "Mr . w.a.n.g, we have gathered here to discuss our family's internal matter . Could we please host you another day?"

"He is here on my request . He is aware of the entire matter and has been the only one who believed me, despite being a near stranger," Sam said, hurt surfacing in her voice .

"Or maybe he is a stranger, hence you managed to fool him," her father shot back .

"That's enough, Li Yichen . I think I would like to see and hear what Li Sam has to tell us before using any more harsh words," his mother interrupted his tirade .

Sam gave her grandmother a grateful look and placed the laptop at an elevated level where everyone could see it clearly .
