The master of Cui have been eyeing the Ren Family. Wanting to be part of the most powerful family in the country, it has been his dream to have one of his children married to the only heir of the family.
That is, until the sister of Ren Shun went out in public and announced that she would be the handler of the family once her brother stepped down.
The master of Cui found another hope in being with the Ren Family, which was to marry one of his grandchildren to the grandchildren of Lady Ren.
"Why did you suddenly apply for the Sapphire Group?"
Meixiu couldn't help but feel a little intrigue at the sudden change in Lijuan's plan.
The woman only wants to live a simple life, living in a small apartment and exploring places in Jiangqiao with Xiaohui.
As far as she knows, that's Lijuan's plan.
But the sudden change confused Meixiu. Was there something more than doing her best for the company?
Lijuan looks at Meixiu and smiles widely, her body leaning as Xiaohui furrows her eyebrows at Meixiu's question.
"Meixiu, how can you say that?"
"No, it's fine."
Lijuan told Xiaohui. Meixiu looks at her wife, then back at the woman in front, seeing Lijuan with a wide smile plastered on her face.
"You know how everyone fought for the power they could get when handling the whole family? My parents want to be the next handler of the Cui Clan."
Meixiu raises her eyebrows.
So it has something to do with her still? She couldn't help but feel disappointed with Lijuan, as the girl seemed enthusiastic about the plan.
"They want me to go inside Sapphire Group and try to befriend the mysterious owner!"
Lijuan half-lied, not wanting to jinx the mission her parents gave her. Lijuan thinks this can be an opportunity to prove to her grandfather and father that she is capable.
After all, Lijuan isn't the favorite grandchild in the whole family. Her father considered her an accidental pregnancy because it was never intended for her father to impregnate her mother.
But the Cui family stood by their image in public and married Lijuan's parents.
Lijuan was disliked by her grandfather, as she is the cause of the almost perfect ideal image the grandfather has.
Because her father was supposed to get married to one of Ren Shun's nieces.
But because of a mistake, it didn't happen.
Meixiu couldn't help but look at Lijuan in confusion. She's sure that there is something to Lijuan's change of plan.
"Do you know the owner?"
Xiaohui asks, her hand sliding onto the menu the waiter just bought.
"Please call me when you're ready to order."
Lijuan smiles and nods, and the waiter bows down to leave as Lijuan looks at Xiaohui.
"No, but I'll try and look for the owner in the building."
-
"Ms. Song."
Meixiu looked at her back and saw Renshu; her eyebrows furrowed upon seeing the man, as they'd never seen each other for a while.
"Renshu, what's with the sudden visit?"
Renshu bows down at the woman, his eyes looking away as he sighs in relief.
"Ms. Song, can you come with me? Ms. Jia has a problem."
"What?"
Meixiu couldn't understand him. How can Suyin have a problem when they saw each other two days ago?
"Ms. Jia seems to have an illness."
Meixiu furrowed her eyebrows at what Renshu said. The man quickly looks down on the ground, his face blushing in embarrassment as he brings it up.
"Ms. Song, I know you're not the right person for this, but I'd like to know if you can do something."
Renshu had his eyes still fixed on the ground; he couldn't look at the woman in front as he felt embarrassed.
For sure, Ms. Song would tell him to bring Suyin to the hospital to get the right treatment she deserves.
"Where is she?"
Renshu quickly looks up at the woman, his eyes looking brightly at her, before he points towards his car.
"I'll bring you to her."
Meixiu nodded and walked towards the car, sitting down in the passenger seat as Renshu quickly closed the door and ran towards the driver's seat.
The car ride went quicker than expected, as Meixiu found herself already inside Suyin's property, getting guided by Renshu.
"Renshu!"
The man mentioned looked at his back, seeing Suyin's butler with someone unfamiliar behind him.
He quickly walked towards the man, greeting him with a bow.
"Yaoting! It's nice to meet you again."
Renshu greeted him, his mouth curving into a small smile as the old man in front of him did the same thing.
"What are you doing here?"
Yaoting asks, his eyes looking behind Renshu and seeing a young woman behind him.
"Ah, I'm here to see Ms. Jia."
"Oh, did you find anyone that could help our Young Lady?"
Yaoting asks. Renshu looks down before he turns his head towards Meixiu. The person behind Yaoting scoffs in disbelief, causing Meixiu and Renshu's attention to go to him.
"Are you kidding? A young girl is what Ms. Jia needed?"
Qiao Yongrui is a well-known master of medicine. He has been in the industry for a long time, practicing various medicine rituals to relieve the illnesses of those who needed them.
Yongrui is usually called by the richest families to treat their elders and save them from death for a few more years.
It is even rumored that Yongrui is a valuable person because he can see whether someone is sick or not.
Meixiu's eyebrows furrow in confusion, not knowing who the arrogant person is that seems to provoke her skills.
"Ah, Renshu, this is Qiao Yongrui, a well-known master."
Renshu looks at the old man behind Yaoting, bowing down before he steps forward to greet him personally.
"Mr. Qiao, I didn't know the Jia family had contact with you."
Renshu offered his hand. Yongrui looks at it before he walks away, helping himself around the mansion of Suyin.
"Today's not the day to know each other better; we need to look for Ms. Jia."
Renshu's face flushed in embarrassment, his hand going to his side as he glanced at Meixiu, walking towards the woman.
"Ms. Song, would you like to see Ms. Jia?"
"Isn't she the reason I'm here?"
Meixiu said, causing Renshu to blush more. He nodded his head, bowing to apologize as he guided Renshu towards where Suyin is.
"Ms. Jia, I found someone who can help you."
Meixiu heard Yaoting's voice and a door opening as she and Renshu reached the top of the staircase, seeing an unwell Suyin.
"Ms. Jia, this is the person you're looking for."
Yaoting said as Suyin nodded at him and looked at Yongrui, smiling as she bowed down at the old man.
"Mr. Qiao, it's nice to meet you again."
Suyin offered her hand for the old man to take, which didn't take a lot of time as Yongrui had shaken their hands together.
Suyin's eyes fell behind him, seeing an unexpected person behind Renshu. Her eyebrows furrowed in the process.
"Ms. Song, what are you doing here?"
Yaoting and Yongrui look behind them, their eyebrows furrowing as well.
"Renshu said you're unwell, so I came here to check on you."
