BRIDE! Xie Yuansheng was watching Feng Xinying going upstairs when he heard his aunt saying that. Has the world gone against him? Feng Xinying would roast him alive!
Nervously, he looked at Xie Weihui and said, "Mother, what are you saying? Why have you called these women here? Don't you know my situation?"
Xie Weihui was very calm. She dusted the flour from the dress she was wearing and staring at Feng Xinying, said, "Yesterday, someone said that she is not interested in you anymore. So it was better that I called these girls because I don't want you to delay choosing a bride now. You are already twenty five."
Feng Xinying narrowed her eyes and turned around to walk back. She came to Xie Yuansheng and circled her hand around his arm. She pecked a kiss on his sleeve and looked proudly at those girls. "So these were the business delegates? Watch how I teach them a lesson and throw them out."
Yun Chen in the meanwhile was aghast. The business delegates she had received so courteously were would-be bride choices for Xie Yuansheng. She was out from a frying pan and into the fire! She looked at Xie Weihui with horror. "This old woman – what a wretched person? Didn't she notice me when I entered?"

Xie Shenjun had been very tense ever since Feng Xinying was embroiled in the shootout. He knew that because of his underworld connections, both Keira and Feng Xinying would always be the soft target of his enemies. He had mercilessly killed the men who had tried to abduct Keira. However, the culprits who had attacked were still at large. He had wanted to meet his younger brother and discuss the situation. Keira had been constantly nagging him that she wanted to go back. He wasn't allowing her. Because of her threats to leave him, he wasn't able to concentrate on his job. He hadn't realized, but he had started loving Keira crazily. He couldn't bear to be away from her for a minute and leaving her was impossible. He was thinking that in case Keira was really keen on leaving, he would go with her and operate from America.
On Saturday, along with Keira, he went to the Feng Mansion.

While Yun Chen was thinking all that, Lu Boyun announced again, "Xie Shenjun is here along with a young miss."
The first thing that Xie Yuansheng did was to remove a tablecloth from a nearby table, tie it around Feng Xinying's waist and then buttoned her up before Xie Shenjun entered.
When Xie Shenjun and Keira entered, they were shocked to look at those seven girls. They looked at Lu Boyun questioningly.
"They are business delegates," explained Lu Boyun. Saying that, he went to the kitchen to get the exotic snacks he had prepared for the business delegates.
Xie Shenjun and Keira walked in politely, bowing to the girls and they went and stood near Xie Yuansheng and Feng Xinying. Keira looked at her friend and asked totally confused, "Why are you dressed like that?"
Before Feng Xinying could answer, Xie Weihui asked Xie Shenjun, "Who is this young girl?"
"She is Keira, my girlfriend," he answered, looking proudly at Keira.
"Temporary girlfriend! I am leaving him soon and going back to America," clarified Keira.
"Oh! Is that the case?" asked Xie Weihui.
"Yes, auntie…" replied Keira in a very serious tone, much to Xie Shengjun's despair.
"In that case, Xie Shenjun, you couldn't have come at a better time," said Xie Weihui. Then she turned to look at those 'business delegates' and continued, "Actually these seven girls here are daughters of the wealthiest families of the country. They are all well cultured, highly educated and as you can see, they all are very beautiful. You can judge them by the way they have dressed that they are very refined. Both you brothers can choose yourbrides from amongst these top-class girls here."
"What?" shouted Feng Xinying and Keira together.
Xei Weihui nodded, smiled, and sat down on the sofa while both the brothers could only think of their near future. They had started calculating the money that had to spend on cajoling their women.
Before anyone could say another word, Keira had launched her judo attack on the girl who was sitting near her.
"Aiyeee!" shrieked that girl, making others look and jump in surprise. Keira attacked her shoulders with such sharp force that the girl tumbled to the floor, crying with pain. Then Keira attacked the second girl. "You bitch! Get out of here!" She shouted as she pulled the second girl up and pushed her towards Feng Xinying, who quickly punched her.
Lu Boyun, in the meanwhile, had come with an array of servants who were carrying snacks and exotic wine.
"For whom are you taking the wine?" asked Feng Xinying as she punched that girl.
"For the business delegates," he replied, looking at the scene in front of him with confusion.
"Give it to me!" she said and picked a glass. Before Xie Yuansheng could remove the glass, she had already gulped it down and was ready for the next one Keira had sent her way.
