One Life, One Love

"Wang, I'm scared. Let's just go. I can't do this,"

Cecilia Song said as she clutched the hem of her dress. A trace of nervousness was written all over her delicate face.

"Cecilia, we're already here. Don't you think it's too late to go back? And think about your mother. If it weren't for that bad man who drove recklessly, she wouldn't be in the hospital right now," Yvonne Wang replied.

As Cecilia Song thought of her mother, her eyes darkened.

Her cousin was the one who found out that the careless driver was the manager of J Group. She must actually thank her cousin. She couldn't do anything without her cousin's help. That man had been making numerous excuses just to avoid meeting them. Thus, she had no choice but to listen to her cousin's advice.

The knuckles of Cecilia Song's hands turned pale as her grip in the hem of her dress tightened. After a while, she let out a deep sigh.

"Yvonne, I really can't do it," she stammered.

"Why? What are you afraid of?" Yvonne Wang glared at her. "Don't worry too much. I've taken enough people with me. You won't be taken advantage of. Besides, we should get the money we deserve."

Eventually, Cecilia Song nodded her head. Her face flushed with excitement.

"Yvonne, you are right. He must pay for what happened to my mother. No matter what it takes, we have to get money from him today."

Yvonne Wang patted her on the shoulder and said, "Go upstairs and talk to him. If he disagrees with your demand, call me. I'll bring my people up to teach him a lesson."

"Okay," Cecilia Song replied with a nod. She then walked to the elevator resolutely.

In a fit of anger, she went straight to the 16th floor. Before they came here, their reliable source made sure to them that the man had checked in here tonight, and he was in Room 1616.

They even confirmed it with the hotel receptionist, so there was no doubt that he was here.

Cecilia Song stood in front of the door for a while. After taking a deep breath, she gently knocked.

After a while, the magnetic voice of a man was heard from the inside.

"Come in."

Her heart skipped a beat. But she tried her best to suppress the fear in her heart and opened the door.

"I am-"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted.

"You don't need to introduce yourself. I'm not interested." Shaw Yang had never been kind to greedy women. He walked up to Cecilia Song, held her chin, and forced her to raise her head.

Because of this, he got the opportunity to study her facial features. She had a delicate face, with lovely eyes and thin red lips. Her skin was fair. He couldn't deny the fact that he found her beautiful.

Cecilia Song raised her head and met his gaze.

She then realized that the man in front of her was undeniably handsome. He smelled so fresh too. When she noticed the water that dripped from his hair, she thought that perhaps he had just taken a shower.

'Is he really the driver? Yvonne said that the man is in his forties. He doesn't look like forty at all, ' she thought inwardly.

Shaw Yang didn't mind the confused look on Cecilia Song's face. He rudely dragged her to the bed and ordered, "Take off your clothes quickly. Don't waste my time."

Cecilia Song got more baffled. "What? What are you talking about?"

"Are you dumb? I said, take off your clothes."

Shaw Yang narrowed his eyes. A trace of impatience flashed through them.

Cecilia Song swallowed nervously as she ran back to the door.

"Sir, you don't understand. It's not what you think it is. I'm here to-"

She wanted to explain, but she was interrupted again.

Shaw Yang snorted, "Cut the crap. You can take the money and leave after our play."

"Play? What do you mean?"

Cecilia Song was definitely clueless about what he was talking about. While she was racking her brain to understand the situation, he pulled the towel that wrapped his waist and threw it on the floor. He then walked up to her, totally naked.

"Ahhh!"

Cecilia Song shouted in fright as she covered her face reflexively. "What are you doing? Don't you dare come near me! Otherwise, I'll call for help."

Shaw Yang's face darkened. If he had more time to spare, he would have kicked this woman out. He had seen a lot of women pretending to be pure. She wouldn't be able to play tricks on him.

"You don't like taking off your clothes by yourself?" he sneered. "Let me help you then."

"No way! You're a freak!"

Cecilia Song yelled as she tried to open the door. However, Shaw Yang pulled her back so effortlessly.

"Woman, don't make me lose my patience. You will not like it,"

he threatened as he threw her on the bed.

Cecilia Song was already on the verge of breaking down, but she suddenly remembered her phone. She took it out and called her cousin.

But Shaw Yang grabbed her phone and threw it to the floor rudely.

"What tricks are you trying to play?"

He bent over and looked at her coldly. Looking at his furious eyes, Cecilia Song shivered. She crossed her arms and held her shoulders to protect herself.

As Shaw Yang's handsome face got closer and closer to her, she got more frightened that she subconsciously covered her face.

He quickly pulled her hands and pressed her on the bed. She tried to struggle, but he was too strong for her.

She felt his breath enter her nostrils and fill her senses. She went blank, losing all the ability to think.

At this moment, they heard a knock on the door.

'It must be my cousin, ' Cecilia Song thought.

She started to struggle again. Shaw Yang frowned slightly and held her more tightly.

The door swung open, and someone spoke up. "Shaw, what is the meaning of this? Is this why you asked me to come over?"

Cecilia Song got the chance to escape from Shaw Yang's grip and turned her head, only to see a strange woman.

The woman was dressed fashionably. She looked so beautiful except for her high cheekbones that slightly ruined the beauty of her face.

Shaw Yang looked at the woman indifferently and said, "Veronica, I've already told you, I treat you as my sister. I'm sorry, but she's the one I like."

He then put his arm around Cecilia Song's shoulder, gently kissed her on the forehead, and pulled the quilt to wrap themselves together.

"I don't believe you!" Veronica stomped her feet. "It's impossible. What's good about this woman? She doesn't deserve you, Shaw. I know you're just lying to me."

Cecilia Song didn't know the woman, but upon listening to their conversation, she somehow understood what was going on. There was a big misunderstanding here. She was not the woman he was waiting to arrive.

She was about to say something when the door was kicked open, and some people rushed in.

"Yvonne!"

Cecilia Song shouted. She was about to stand up, but Shaw Yang held her waist tightly. She couldn't move at all.

Yvonne Wang's eyes stared at his arm that was wrapped around Cecilia Song. There was a trace of shock on her face.

'What the hell is going on? Why does Shaw Yang get involved with Cecilia?' she thought, feeling a little dizzy.

Trembling with anger, Veronica sobbed and shouted, "Shaw, who is this woman? How disappointing! Do you really think that this kind of woman is comparable to me? No way! You just wait. I'll go and see your dad now."

She then turned and ran out of the door. But before she could finally leave, she stepped on Yvonne Wang's foot deliberately.

Shaw Yang just watched her leave. When she was gone, he turned to look at Yvonne Wang and the men with her.

"You have already seen enough. Get out of here now."

Although his voice was low, there was an unquestionable power.

Yvonne Wang came back to her senses and drove away all the men who came with her.

"Yvonne."

Cecilia Song pushed Shaw Yang away and jumped off the bed. This time, he didn't stop her.

When they were already outside the room, she burst into tears.

Yvonne Wang dragged her into the elevator.

"Cecilia, what happened? Why were you in bed with that man?"

Cecilia Song felt more aggrieved after hearing her cousin's question. She sobbed and asked, "Yvonne, who is that man? Is he really the one who hit my mother?"

"No, he isn't." Yvonne Wang knocked her on the head impatiently. "He is Shaw Yang, the CEO of J Group."

"What?" Cecilia Song exclaimed. Her eyes widened in surprise. "Are you saying that he is the man who is said to be worth more than 100 million?"

Yvonne Wang nodded. After confirming that it was really him, Cecilia Song remembered something. Just now, Shaw Yang said that he would give her money after they finished their play.

And when she thought of that scene when he kissed her, her face flushed.

"Cecilia, tell me what really happened. Why was his fiancee also there? Are you okay? Did they bully you?"

Cecilia Song felt warm in her heart. She lowered her head and said, "No, they didn't. But he asked me to act before that woman came."

To avoid her cousin from getting worried, Cecilia Song decided not to tell her the whole story. Yvonne Wang was so surprised by what she said. "Act what? To make that woman jealous?"

Cecilia Song nodded. Yvonne Wang couldn't help laughing when she commented, "That woman ran out of the room because of anger. Your play was indeed successful. And since Mr. Yang seemed satisfied with your performance, I think you'll get enough money for your mom's medical expenses."

"What do you mean?" Cecilia Song asked in confusion. Yvonne Wang knocked her on the head again and said, "Let's go. I'll tell you on our way."

It was almost dawn when they got out of the hotel. They took a taxi to the hospital.

On their way to the hospital, Yvonne Wang explained what she meant to Cecilia Song. It was only then that Cecilia Song realized that if Shaw Yang could help them, everything would be solved. After all, the person who hit her mother was working in J Group.

But the question was, would he help her?

They arrived at the hospital, but they got a piece of bad news from the doctor. Her mother needed to undergo surgery right away. Otherwise, she would be disabled for the rest of her life.

After talking to the doctor, Yvonne Wang pulled Cecilia Song aside.

"Cecilia, go and find Shaw. He is the only one who can help us right now."

"Yvonne, do you want me to find him by myself?" Cecilia Song asked, feeling uneasy.

Yvonne Wang rolled her eyes and said, "So what? I don't think Shaw will talk to you if I'm there. Besides, no one will take care of Aunt Nancy if we go together."

Cecilia Song knew that Yvonne Wang was right. She turned to look at her mother's pale face and said through clenched teeth, "Okay. I'll go to him alone. Please take care of my mother."

"Don't worry. I will stay with her all the time."

"Thank you."

Cecilia Song returned to the hotel to see Shaw Yang again. But much to her dismay, he had already checked out. She then called Yvonne Wang, asked for his company's address, and hailed a taxi.
