"That's your grandmother!" Ye Xing butted in their conversations. "Now, let me hear all of you call me grandfather!"
Ye Xing was wearing the smuggest smile he could muster as he stared down at the group of the young master.
The group of young masters looked at Ye Xing with dumbfounded expressions.
Grandmother?
Grandfather?
"Is that your girlfriend?" a young master asked after a while.
"Fool! All of you must be blind! Can't you see she's standing next to Li Han? Of course she is his partner!" Ye Xing retorted.
"Then, why must we call her, grandmother and you, grandfather?"
"Do you have amnesia? Don't you remember last night you made those bets? You said you would call anyone who managed to bring Li Han to this ball as grandfather and the woman who came with him as grandmother."
The group of young masters who were called fool and blind by Ye Xing wanted to retaliate but did not know how. After all, they did make those bets yesterday.
"But, how did you manage to drag that man to come here?" someone asked.
"That's right! This is the first time he comes to event like this." Another young master chipped in.
"That's why I am your grandfather. I am so capable that I can drag that reclusive Li Han out of his cave!" Ye Xing said proudly.
Ye Xing ignored the fact that it was actually Nie Zhen who managed to drag Li Han to the ball.
Nope, this did not prick his conscience! No way!
Well, these young masters wouldn't know the truth anyway. So, he was going to take all the credit to himself!
Nyehehe…
"Then, grandfather, can you tell us who is that woman next to him?"
"Which distinguished family does she come from?"
"What power does she use to make him agree to be her partner?"
"She must be so powerful to stand next to him! I have never seen him with any woman before!"
"So, who is she?"
Everyone's head simultaneously shot up to stare at Ye Xing, waiting eagerly for his answer.
Facing the eyes of men who were clearly starving for gossips made the corner of Ye Xing's mouth twitched.
He cleared his throat. "Actually, we picked her up at the roadside."
The group of young masters: "…"
"You mean your appointment place is at the roadside?"
"No, no! I mean it literally. The car almost crashed into her. Then, she followed us here," Ye Xing explained the truth, mixed with a tiny bit of lie. Just a tiny bit.
Shock crossed their faces. What bizarre things did they hear just now!? Did they just heard Ye Xing telling them that he picked some unknown woman to be Li Han's partner? And that villain agreed to it!?
Surely, they must be dreaming. Yup, this must be a dream.
"So, you don't know who she is?"
Ye Xing seemed to be in deep thought. "I think I've seen her before. But I don't remember when, where or how. She seems to be in our clique too."
All eyes turned to the woman standing next to Li Han. They scrutinized Nie Zhen and tried to imagine the face under the mask. Then they tried to match it to any young lady that they knew.
"Is it Su Lina from Su Family?"
"I don't think so. Su Lina is way taller!"
"Then, Xi Chuhua from Xi Family?"
"No way. Xi Chuhua is not as slim and slender as her!"
"It might be Wen Huiying! I remember that girl has always had a crush on Li Han!"
"I don't think she would be that crazy to try to crash into the car just to be his partner."
"Besides, has she come back from study overseas?"
More and more names came out of their mouths as they tried to guess the name of the lady who had the privileged to become Li Han's company.
"Ah, I just notice, isn't that dress from Chanel old collection?"
"How did you know?"
"I remember my girlfriend wanted to give away the old collection from her wardrobe. I think she said she wanted to sell it or something."
"You mean Li Han's partner is wearing second-hand dress?"
"Look at her heels. It looks cheap too."
"She is not wearing much accessories too."
"Then, does it mean she is not from rich family?"
All eyes turned to look at Ye Xing again for confirmation. After all, he just mentioned that the lady seemed to come from their clique too.
Ye Xing looked awkward. He was sure he had seen this lady before among their clique. After all, he seldom mingled with common people.
But, hearing their discussion about her attire, he was not so sure anymore.
Now, their minds were filled with one question.
Just who is this freaking lady!!??? How formidable is she to attract the attention of Li Han, a man famed for his villainous and tyrannical ways and feared by many? How is she qualified to be his partner?
Who is she?????
