The next morning Ying Yue woke up to three maids waiting for her and just as she was about to ask what they were doing here they immediately ushered her into the bathroom like they'd been waiting for her for hours.
After her bath, they dressed her up in an expensive Armani dress, the only one of its kind. It was a blue dress and it sparkled all over, it hugged her curves perfectly and was an off-shoulder dress. It was simple yet elegant and suited her milky white skin.
The beauty of the dress made her wonder if he was taking her for an event rather than visiting someone, they put some makeup on her and a matte pink lipstick that matched her. Though she didn't realize it, she looked breathtaking.
As she walked down the load of stairs, she wondered why his room couldn't just be downstairs. She knew there were a lot of people in this house but still wasn't he the boss?
When she finally got to the last flight of stairs, she saw him patiently waiting for her clad black Armani suit and a blue shirt that matched her dress. He didn't wear a tie and he looked like a rich playboy, this was the first time she saw him dressed as Lui Feng of the business world.
Wondering how such a handsome creature could exist, Lui Feng waved for her to come downstairs and she realized she had been standing in one spot for a while. He was on the phone and she was completely mesmerized by him and started walking.
Lui Feng was on the phone with Aiguo who was informing him about the Jiangs being informed about his visit today when he saw an angel walk down.
She stood in a spot and stared at him lost in her own world unable to notice him staring back and when he finally snapped out of it, he signaled for her to come down while slowly putting his phone on the table.
She walked down trying her best to avoid eye contact he swallowed, he knew the dress would look amazing on her, not make him speechless. She looked so bewitching and enthralling.
After what felt like years she finally got to the table and sat down next to him, her face turning to a light shade of red when she noticed he was staring at her and swallowing hard. They both ate in silence lost in their thoughts.
After the meal, he took her to the car and drove off still not saying a word until Ying Yue couldn't take the silence anymore.
"Where are we going?" she asked breaking the long and dreadful silence, he just glanced at her and she didn't say a word again.
He was just impossible, he could be the sweetest man in the world and then the next moment become cold and scary but at least in the midst of everything he never hurt her, she just sighed and waited to get to their destination.
Almost half an hour later the car stopped, she stepped out and when she saw the house in front of her, her face immediately looked troubled.
She looked back at him seeming perturbed. He just gave a sly smile. He took her arm and they walked in together.
Meanwhile, when the Jiangs heard that the business tycoon Lui Feng was coming to pay a visit, they immediately set everything up to seem like they were a decent and modest family.
They even dressed their precious daughter up so she could win the favor of Lui Feng. They knew that if they were able to do just that they'd gain a lot of influence from being associated with the Lui Family, so they made sure to sweet-talk their daughter with many promises, in order to motivate her to carry out her task.
A few minutes later they saw two people walk in, they recognized the first one as Lui Feng but it took a closer look to figure out it was the black sheep of the family next to him, Ying Yue.
They were shocked to see her, but their greed got the best of them and they didn't think much of it. Although they were troubled by her presence, nothing was going to ruin their plan, not even Lui Feng himself.
Mr. Jiang immediately ushered Lui Feng to sit and his brows furrowed when he saw Lui Feng take her with him, just what was the relationship between the owner of Lui Corporation and his "daughter"?
When they sat down Mei Zhen made a dramatic entrance, she was dressed in a red dress that hugged her curves and showed a large amount of cleavage and any man who saw Mei Zhen at that moment would start drooling at the sight but Lui Feng didn't even give her a glance. He knew exactly what the Jiangs were trying to pull, he smiled inwardly as this was going to be interesting.
Mei Zhen pouted when he saw Lui Feng focusing on her sister, her brows furrowed when she recognized Ying Yue in an expensive Armani dress. Her blood boiled with jealousy, how dare she get close to Lui Feng, now she wanted him more than ever.
She walked up to him playing coy and sat next to him giving her sister a death stare. But before she could do anything Lui Feng spoke up.
"I'd like a tour of the house if you don't mind", asked Lui Feng even though he knew they couldn't refuse. They immediately agreed to it and asked Mei Zhen to take them around the house. She hoped Ying Yue wouldn't follow but instead, Lui Feng wrapped his arm around her shoulder and signaled for her to start the tour.
Throughout the tour, Lui Feng looked bored which shocked Mei Zhen their house had always been on the front cover of housing magazines and it represented the epitome of elegance, only when she showed him Ying Yue's old room did his interest look piqued. She thought it was probably because the room was messy that he looked surprised, he walked in when he saw a dusty picture frame.
"What is this?" he asked, his question directed to Mei Zhen.
"Nothing, just an old picture nothing important", she said quickly trying to leave the room, when she noticed that Lui Feng walked towards the painting and picked it up, the whole painting was covered in dust he used the side of his sleeve to clean it a little which dirtied his sleeve but he didn't mind.
He saw Ying Yue's signature and he knew that this was what he was what he was looking for. He handed it over to her and she was happy to have her painting back, she hugged Lui Feng which made her sister's blood boil, she faked a smile then they all went downstairs ending the tour.
Ying Yue just held her painting and sat down, Lui Feng's eyes narrowed at this, he was the one who found the painting and now she had shifted her focus from him to the painting.
The air in the room became tense and everyone just watched Lui Feng and Ying Yue. They couldn't take it anymore they decided to break the silence.
"Mr. Lui, let's get down to business, you said I had something you wanted", said Mr. Jiang with a grin on his face, he knew that Lui Feng would be willing to pay a huge amount of money to get what he wanted.
He noticed Lui Feng's gaze shift to the painting and Mr Jiang smiled at this. "My wonderful daughter made this for an international art competition and it was the winning entry, I must say it's highly valued", Lui Feng grinned, Mr. Jiang was really something.
"Well since the painting belongs to your daughter. She should be the one to decide, am I right Mr. Jiang?" he asked slyly, and Mr Jiang's expression turned grim as beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
He thought he would be able to a lot of gain from the Lui Corp owner but turns out this bitch called his daughter was still making problems for him even after he kicked her out of his house.
"Of course Mr Lui, but she isn't in the position to... I mean my precious daughter would gain more if I made this deal", he said struggling to put his words together, then he gave Ying Yue a domineering look expecting her to submit to his demands and do as she said but she didn't even look at him.
"I'm not selling it", she said firmly and gave him a cold glance. Mrs Jiang looked at her unbelievably as if she wasn't seeing the Ying Yue she knew right now. She wanted to pounce on the lady in front of her.
"How dare you!!" Mr Jiang growled and raised his hand to slap her, his facade falling apart, before Lui Feng could act Ying Yue grabbed his arm and twisted it causing him pain.
"How dare you, after all I've done for you!" shouted Mr Jiang in anger holding his arm which had started to hurt a lot. 'Where did this bitch suddenly get the nerve?' he thought.
"You are supposed to do things for me I'm you're daughter for God's sake!" She shouted in reply but then a wide grin spread on Mr and Mrs Jiang's face and they started to snicker at her.
"Don't you get it? You're not my daughter and you've never been my daughter, you're not mine Ying Yue!" he replied menacing and loved the way her expression turned grim, the confidence she had shattered into a million pieces but she refused to break.
She wasn't related to them in any way, this was good right she didn't have to feel guilty and she shouldn't care anymore but why did it hurt so much? She wanted to know more but she couldn't take it anymore, so she left the house, took her painting, and waited where the car was parked for Lui Feng.
"You'll regret this", promised Lui Feng and his aura blazed like fire giving them all goosebumps, then he left the house to meet her outside in his resting on his car hugging her painting and trying her best not to cry.
On her request, he put her in the car and drove off.
