The Mother-In-Law's Embrace - Chapter 1

When Lin Wancheng received the offer from Li Corporation, she thought her luck had finally turned.

In China, who didn’t know about Li Corporation in City A? Its status was unparalleled, almost controlling half of China’s economic lifeline – a world beyond reach for ordinary people like herself.

Li Corporation’s president, Li Han Ye, was a frequent face in both financial and entertainment magazines. His handsome visage rivaled that of any celebrity, and despite the constant gossip surrounding him, countless admirers screamed their adoration. 

At first, Lin Wancheng didn’t care. After all, she had simply landed a designer position at one of Li Corporation’s jewelry companies – worlds apart from someone like Li Han Ye.  Within the company, only a few high-ranking officials ever got to meet the people from Li Corporation headquarters during annual meetings.

For a working person, salary was paramount, and Li Corporation paid handsomely. 

The generous income made Lin Wancheng willingly work overtime. Whenever colleagues lamented her dedication at such a young age, she would simply offer an ambiguous smile, unwilling to elaborate.  Who wouldn’t be driven to work so hard when life demanded it?

However, her ordinary, hardworking life took a sharp turn when Li Han Ye transferred to the company.

On an ordinary weekday afternoon, as usual, Lin Wancheng walked toward her direct supervisor, Manager Su’s office with her design drafts. She was met with a scene that left her speechless.

The man she had only seen in magazines – the man who controlled half of China – was pinning down her usually composed and helpful supervisor on his desk. His dark purple veins pulsed visibly as he moved violently within his grasp, driving himself deep into Manager Su’s flesh with brute force. The sounds of their union filled the air – a symphony of moans and grunts punctuated by the wet slap of each thrust.

The entire office reeked of lust, the door wide open to this scandalous display.

Lin Wancheng was frozen, her gaze fixed on the scene unfolding before her. 

Manager Su, who was normally so serious but always kind to her, writhed in pain, her neck arched back like a dying swan trying to escape the relentless assault.  The sight of his aggressive thrusts only made her distress more pronounced.

“Li… Li Total… don’t…” Manager Su choked out between moans, tears welling up in her eyes. “Please… Stop this…” 

She seemed to be begging for mercy.

Her voice was a mix of anguish and pleasure, a dissonance that sent shivers down Lin Wancheng’s spine.

Was Manager Su being forced?

Lin Wancheng chewed on her lip, hesitant, torn between her desire to walk away and the urge to intervene.  This could easily backfire; she was just a lowly designer, who knew what would happen if she offended someone as powerful as Li Han Ye. 

But watching a woman cry while being violated was unbearable.

Even if it meant overstepping boundaries, Lin Wancheng couldn’t just stand there. 

With a deep breath, she raised her hand and knocked twice on the office door.

The air crackled with tension. The rhythmic pounding abruptly stopped. Li Han Ye paused his movements, his eyes narrowed into dangerous slits as they settled on Lin Wancheng. His face was twisted in a grimace of annoyance and impatience.

“What?” he growled, his voice laced with displeasure. “Do you dare interrupt me?” 

He shifted slightly, the throbbing movement further emphasized by the way his hand gripped Manager Su’s hair, pulling her head back against his thrusts.  His gaze lingered on Lin Wancheng, a predatory gleam in his eyes.

Lin Wancheng felt a wave of disgust wash over her. This man was beyond repulsive – treating another human being like this! 

“You… you are raping her!” she blurted out, her voice trembling slightly but firm. “If you don’t stop, I’m calling the police!”

For a moment, Li Han Ye was silent. It was as if he had heard some ludicrous joke. He let out a sharp laugh, his eyes glittering with amusement.

“Raping? Calling the police?” He scoffed. “Do you even know what you’re saying?”

He roughly grabbed Manager Su’s hair again, pulling her face up to meet Lin Wancheng’s gaze.  “Tell her, is she being forced?” 

Manager Su just shook her head mutely, tears streaming down her cheeks, her makeup smeared into a dark blur. She couldn’t speak, couldn’t form words to explain the tangled web of emotions swirling within her – humiliation, fear, and an unexpected thrill that made her skin prickle.

Lin Wancheng’s anger flared up even more. “Enough!” she yelled, rushing forward and pushing Li Han Ye away with all her might. The man staggered back, momentarily off-balance, his erection exposed for all to see. The sight was both disgusting and ridiculous.

She ripped off her jacket and draped it over Manager Su’s shivering body before grabbing a tissue and gently wiping the tears from her eyes.  Looking up at Li Han Ye, she said with quiet but unwavering resolve: “When a woman cries, you should stop.”
