"My motives?? Heh!! You don't have to worry about what I want to do, it won't affect you in any way. Of course if you want to lend me your assistance, I can accept your offer??
The man beside Master Zheng wanted to say something but Master Zheng shut him up with a glare.
He observed Wu Mei to try to find out what made her so special that even Fourth Lord has ordered people to watch her. He found the answer to his questions.
Her eyes. Those eyes that held a determined, lazy and resolute glimmer. But within those eyes, he could see the coldness and malice hidden deep within them.
He could even feel the chill in his bones when she stared at him.
"Sigh... I've received orders from above. You have to meet someone before we can help you"
Wu Mei laughed. Her laughter held a hint of mockery.
"Help?? Master Zheng, do you believe I can achieve my aims without your help??
"You....
"Shut it!!
The man was stunned by her authoritative tone and oppressive aura.
"Master Zheng, I believe you know why I want to work with you. I can do what I want to do, but it wouldn't hurt to have someone backing me.
Master Zheng knew what she was trying to tell him. She's trying to draw a line between them.
Obviously she has ways to deal with whatever she wants to deal with, but she before she does that, she wants to use their alliance to create an illusion of them being friends to drive the people that she doesn't need in her plan. Their relationship is purely business. All in all, they are using each other.
"Miss W, like I mentioned it's not my decision to make so you'll have to meet the person in charge. This is the address, I'll send someone to pick you up!!
"Hm..... Then until we meet again Master Zheng.
She didn't waste anytime neither did she try to engage them in small talk. She's truly unlike other women. Everything about her is different.
Wu Mei called the driver to come pick her up near the Milk Tea shop. She sat there to wait for the driver but her mood turned sour.
Why?? Wu Tang and her mother came to meet her.
"Cough cough!! Wu Mei I thought you weren't coming to the city. Why did you come back now?? Why didn't you come to the Wu Family mansion.
"Mrs Wu, it seems you are aware that it is the Wu Family mansion. Why would an outsider like me try to enter the Wu Mansion?? I don't want to be sold as a bride now , do I??
Wu Tang and Wu Li froze.
_So she knows. Is that why she didn't want to come back in the first place??
"What are you talking about?? How can you be sold as a bride?? Where did you hear that from??
"Oh?? There is no need for you to know.
I can't possibly tell them I knew about it in my past life.
She stared at them for a long time when she gasped.
Two black clouds hovered in the air, directly beside Wu Li. It looked like they were trying to eat her flesh.
Coincidentally, Wu Li also scratched the same place they touched. Wu Mei's eyebrows furrowed.
_What is this?? Could it be that something bad is going to happen soon??
Even if she knew, Wu Mei would not say anything about it.
"Miss, I'm sorry for being late, there was traffic....
"It's no problem, we can leave now.
The driver and Wu Mei walked two steps forward when Wu Mei suddenly turned back with her glowing blue eyes hidden under her hair.
"You should watch your steps these few days..... Who knows what might happen...
Wu Mei entered the car , not seeing the dark look on Wu Tang's face. Wu Li also shivered, feeling a sense of foreboding.
"Take me to the manor, Shanshan must have gotten home.
"Alright Miss!!
Immediately the Black Speed Car left another car took it's place. The two cars passed each other and the eyes of two people in the backseat met.
Wu Mei's eyes widened when she saw who sat in the car.
Huo Yan also known as Fourth Lord, a legendary figure in the business world. He built Huo Corporation from scratch when he was just nineteen years old. Now at twenty - two, Huo Yan is the most sought after bachelor and business partner in Country Y.
Huo Yan also caught a glimpse of the girl in the car. She quickly averted her eyes, but the guy was already curious.
Huo Yan smirked, his devilishly handsome face holding a hint of seductiveness turning even more handsome.
"Fourth Lord, we've arrived"
Huo Yan came down from the car, his long legs striding powerfully into the restaurant Wu Mei just came out from. His cold face driving the females crazy. Wu Tang saw him, she instantly fell in love.
Wu Li followed her line of sight, she gasped when she saw the person Wu Tang has been staring at.
"Fourth Lord!!
Wu Tang jumped up.
"Fourth Lord?? He is the Fourth Lord??
Huo Yan has been out of her public for a long time that people almost forgot the person called Fourth Lord, but his appearance easily reminded them of the ruthless person he is!!
Wu Tang bit her lips, a determined look crossed her eyes.
Only a person like him is fit for a phoenix like me. I must have him!!
Inside the Restaurant
"Fourth Lord, you've arrived. Have a seat!! Waiter bring some wine!!
The waiter that passed their table bowed before he scurried to bring the wine they asked for.
"Have you met her??
"Fourth Lord, she just left here not long ago. We captured her face, would you like to see it??
"En.... Huo Yan stretched out his elegant, thin and long fingers.
"So she is the one.... He remembered the girl he saw in the car.
"Huh?? Fourth Lord, you've met her??
