She has always hated Ana and felt that Ana was arrogant. But of course, the fact that Ana was beautiful was what made her even madder every time. She always wanted to pour acid on Ana's face and damage it but she was afraid because her father supported Ana.
''Ana, do you have a boyfriend?'' Richard asked, not been able to hold back his curiosity anymore.
Before coming here, his parents had informed him that they wanted him to get engaged to Ana. He wasn't so thrilled with it but after looking into Ana's present pictures, he felt satisfied with her.
Not only was she intelligent, she was also very pretty. He also looked into her and found that she was the one who had broken off the engagement with Yu Shiao.
It came as a surprise to him and he felt something suspicious but he didn't really care much about the Yu family because they were rivals.
What he didn't understand was why the Lee family would arrange for their daughter to marry into the family that is rivals with the Yu family. He felt that Mrs. Lee was sneaky in this regard. Was she trying to make the Yu family hate Ana even more?
''Ana doesn't have a boyfriend. This girl, aye… she is always tying herself out. She barely has time to eat. She doesn't have a boyfriend. She is a virgin.'' Mrs. Lee said excitedly and Ana banged her chopsticks on the table and stood up.
Everyone looked at Ana.
''I'm going to the washroom.'' Ana said and picked her bag.
''Why are you taking your bag if you are just going to the washroom?''
''Aunt… I am a woman.'' Ana said through gritted teeth and walked out.
''Shanshan, go after your sister. She doesn't know this place well, she might get lost.'' Mrs. Lee said and Shanshan stood up.
''Shanshan, sit back. Ana is a grown woman, she won't get lost.'' Mr. Lee said.
''Dad, I happen to want to go to the washroom too.'' Shanshan said and went out.
Mr. Lee looked at Mr. and Mrs. Hough awkwardly and smiled.
''Mr. Lee is blessed with two lovely daughters. As a man who only have one child, I envy you''
''Uncle, we are going to be one family soon. I will also be your son.'' Andrew who was quite for long finally spoke
''Eat, that is still too early to say.'' Mr. Lee muttered. It was obvious he was happy with the arrangement.
….
Ana washed her hands and wiped them after coming out of the WC. She saw Shanshan standing at the door with a smirk.
''Did you come to make sure I don't run away?'' Ana asked.
''Half/half. I also came to tell you that you will be getting engaged to Richard Hough very soon. Happy, right? He is a capable man.''
''If he is so capable, why are you not getting engaged to him?''
''He is too old for me. I am 24 years. I deserve a younger man. Someone like brother Shen.''
''Really? Our Miss Lee has such grandeur dreams?'' Ana said in a mocking tone.
''What? Just worry about your engagement with Richard Hough. You know about him, right? He is very popular in the entertainment industry for being notorious especially with women.''
''Why should I be worried when I am not getting engaged with him?''
''Are you going to go against dad?''
Ana chuckled. ''Hey! Do you think I am stupid? You and your mother want to use me and make me the public enemy again. Just like you did two years ago, right? The Yu family and Hough family are rivals in the industry. I broke up with Yu Shiao and now your mother wants to get me engaged to Richard Hough to spite the Yu family and make them hate me even more. Then, you will push me under the bus and act like I got together with Richard Hough on my own and that you people had nothing to do with it.
After all, I am the prodigal son. The daughter of a woman who cheated with your father. Just that title alone make people want to castrate me. I must say you and your mother are really capable''
''I don't know what you are talking about. In any case, you became an enemy of the Yu family the day you thought it was okay to break things off with brother Shiao. Brother Shiao is so capable, you are the one who lost because he didn't deserve a woman whose mother destroyed another woman's family''
''What?''
''Why are you looking at me as if I said something wrong? You mother knew my father was married. My mother just had my brother and your mother still slept with my dad. You are just like your mother. You are shameless.''
Ana smirked. ''That's true. I am shameless, just like my late mother. So, you should know that I am not afraid to dance in the mud and get dirty with you and your mother. What is shame to a woman who is shameless?'' Ana said and pushed Shanshan away and walked out of the washroom.
'Stop there, Ana!'' Shanshan shouted as she walked after Ana.
The door to the male washroom opened and Lin Shen stepped out. He looked at the two figures going away and smirked.
…
Ana turned and was about to leave when the door opened and her father came out with Mrs. Lee, Andrew, Richard and Mr. and Mrs. Hough.
''Ana, I said stop there.'' Shanshan said and saw the people. Her face quickly changed and she smiled, going over.
''Elder sister and I were just chatting.'' Shanshan said.
''Ana, why did you keep so long?'' Mr. Lee asked.
''Nothing''
''Ana, why don't you see Richard off? You two can get to know each other more.'' Mrs. Lee suggested.
''Richard, you father and I have another place to go to. Send Miss Lee home and get to know each other more.'' Mrs. Hough said.
''Sure!'' Richard said and turned to look at Ana.
Just then, the door to the other room opened and Yu Jiajia walked out with Shiao.
