Yanmei was invited by Yeong Soon for a stroll and dinner after work on a Friday. She could not say no to her. Also, she figured it was better than staying in her apartment all alone.
They went to the mall, with two bodyguards constantly following them. They spent only an hour going around, but Yanmei already had six bags of newly purchased clothes and shoes bought by Yeong Soon.
They then proceeded to have dinner at a fine dining restaurant, where Yeong Soon purposely booked a private room.
Just as they were ordering food, the door opened and a man emitting a powerful aura appeared from behind Yanmei. She turned, sensing the cold presence.
Seeing Anton Yeong, she immediately got up, greeting him, "Mr. Yeong." She turned to Yeong Soon who gave a smirk. She knew well it was Mommy Soon who invited her son. She looked back at Anton, saying, "it's nice of you to join us, Mr. Yeong."
"Mother? What is the emergency? I was at the south factory, dealing with security measures and you called me saying there is an emergency?!" Said Anton, his temper already raised from all the running around, finding his mother.
He turned to Yanmei also upset. He was about to blame her when Yeong Soon stopped him, "That was all me! Yanmei had nothing to do with it."
Anton immediately shot his mother an angry glare, yelling, "Mother! Do you know what you have done? You might as well kiss the south factory goodbye - "
"Then so be it, Anton! What good is having so much wealth if I cannot even have a grandchild! Go ahead and let the robbers steal everything!" Responded Yeong Soon, also flustered by her son's approach.
Yeong Soon started a pretend cry, hoping it would make Anton stop from all the yelling. "I - I just wanted to have dinner - with my son… Why is that so difficult!"
Anton was at a loss. He cared for his mother, but her means of getting his attention was getting out of hand. He immediately turned to Yanmei and pulled her outside the restaurant by force.
Yanmei's eyes grew wide. She kept calling to him, "Mr. Yeong. M. Yeong?"
She tried to pull away from his hand. However, his hold was too strong. She could not release herself from his grip. Yeong Soon also tried to prevent her son from taking Yanmei but Anton was too fast. She heard him say, "Wait here, mother!"
Dragging Yanmei out in the street, Anton pulled her to the side and said, "Yanmei, are you and mother trying to get to me? Tell me the truth! Behind your lies, are you into me?!"
Yanmei was caught off guard by his line of thinking. Her mouth hung open, utterly shocked at being doubted. She said, "I swear, I had no idea she was contacting you or asking you to come - and why are you asking me this when - when I've already told you, I'm into girls… I don't like you at all!"
She forcefully let go of her wrist and managed to break free. "After this, I will no longer meet with your mother - if - if this is how it's going to be, then I'd rather not meet with your -"
"No! Don't," said Anton. He put his hands on his waist, slowly taking a full turn. "F**k!"
Anton did not know what came over him. He lost his cool completely. He already knew that Yanmei was not into men, but he could not help but question her that night.
Seeing her and his mother, he wondered if Yanmei was in on it with Yeong Soon. After all, he had experienced many schemes from other women, especially Hei-ran Baek.
While he was contemplating on his actions, Yanmei quickly hailed a cab, not wanting to spend any more time with him nor with Yeong Soon. She planned to just apologized to Mommy Soon the next day, but as for now, she wanted to calm herself, away from Anton Yeong.
Only when the taxi had pulled over when Anton realized it was Yanmei who signaled for the cab. He called for her, "Yanmei! I'm - F**k!"
He wanted to apologize, but it was too late. He watched Yanmei leave in a taxi, not looking back at him. He shook his head, knowing he made a mess, but it was over and done with.
More than an hour ago, he was at the south factory, overseeing the installation of a new security system. It was expected to detect a possible breach up to one mile away from the factory, using satellite detection.
He suddenly received a call from his mother, merely saying, "Son, help me, please! It's an emergency! Please come to me... Come to me!"
Yeong Soon had suddenly dropped the call, not answering any further. It made Anton worry that he stormed out of the south factory in a rush to find her.
His mother knew her phone had a tracker. Eventually, Anton would find her, regardless of where she went.
Anton Yeong went back to the restaurant alone, and it alarmed Yeong Soon. "Where - where is Yanmei?"
Her eyes immediately threw daggers at Yeong, asking, "What have you done?!"
Never in a million years had a woman walked out of Anton. Yanmei's reaction was not what he had expected. He looked at her mother and said, "She - she left. I - I think I scared her away."
While in the taxi, Yanmei was ranting all by herself. "What the - Into me, my ass?! Why in the world would I want - would I want a handsome bearded man who is filthy rich!"
The taxi driver looked at her and said, "Ahh - Yeah - I mean, you could hook up with a fat poor man like myself."
"But he is gay!!!!!"
Her face was incredibly red. She looked outside the window, asking herself, 'I have been accused before by Bai Han and Xuxu but why… why is this happening? Why did he get into my nerves?'
