Xiao Tian instantly stopped his footsteps and turned around. “What’s wrong?”
Lin Xing Xue didn’t know what to say to him because she called his name on reflex earlier.
‘What should I say?’
Because she still wanted him to be around her, Lin Xing Xue thought of a way to make Xiao Tian stay.
“Is there anything you want to say to me?” Xiao Tian asked again.
Like before, Lin Xing Xue didn’t say a word. No, to be more precise, she wanted to say something to him but didn’t know what to say.
At this moment, Xiao Tian suddenly remembered that he would have a small party with his mother and the others.
Because Lin Xing Xue had been trying her best to get back with him, Xiao Tian thought there was no harm in inviting her. “Oh, right! I’m going to have a little party with my mother and the others later. Do you want to join us?”
“Yes.” Lin Xing Xue answered without thinking twice.
She was pleased when Xiao Tian invited her to his party because with this, she knew that all her efforts were not in vain.
Not only would she be able to spend time with him, but she would also have the opportunity to get close to Xiao Tian and the others.
“If everything goes according to plan, we will have a party on the beach later.” Xiao Tian spoke and paused for a second before he continued, “Or you can come to my house so that we can go together later.”
“Yes. I will go to your house later.” Lin Xing Xue responded. “Can I bring my daughter?”
“Yes.” Xiao Tian responded as he nodded his head. “Alright. I want to work first. I have a lot of work today.”
“Un.” This time, Lin Xing Xue didn’t stop Xiao Tian.
Then Xiao Tian headed to his office and began to work. Xiao Tian worked for about three hours before finally he called Yun Xin Er and invited her to the party later.
——
Nanli District, Bamboo Restaurant.
In the private area of the Bamboo Restaurant, three women were talking seriously. Two of them were wearing robes with veils on their faces while the other one was wearing luxurious clothes.
If Xiao Tian saw them, he would immediately recognize one of them because one of them was none other than Nalan Jiangge, Yun Xin Er’s mother.
“So, what are you going to do to Xiao Tian now?” a lady who wore a blue robe with a white veil on her face inquired.
“I won’t cause trouble to him for now.” Nalan Jiangge still could not forget how scary Xiao Tian was.
Since Xiao Tian showed his terrifying expression, which made her body tremble, the feeling of deep fear emerged every time she wanted to cause trouble for him.
Of course, she still didn’t approve of Xiao Tian’s relationship with her daughter because, in her view, her daughter deserved a man who was much better than Xiao Tian.
“Why? Are you afraid of him now?” a lady who wore a black robe with a black veil on her face inquired.
“No.” Nalan Jiangge lied to them. “Right now, I have a lot of important things to do, so I don’t have time for him.”
“Are you sure about it? If you did nothing to him, they would become closer, you know?” the lady who wore a white veil asked again.
“Zhi Rou, you don’t have to worry about that because I will make sure that they will separate later.” Nalan Jiangge spoke with determination in her eyes.
“All right, then.” Zhi Rou then rose from the chair. “I still have something to do. If you need anything, you can call me.”
“All right.” Nalan Jiangge responded.
When Zhi Rou was walking away, the lady who wore a black robe followed her.
After they got into the car, the lady who wore a black robe inquired, “Master, it seems like Nalan Jiangge is getting softer to Xiao Tian now. What should we do now?”
“Don’t worry. I still have a backup plan.” Even though Zhi Rou didn’t expect that Nalan Jiangge would stop causing trouble to Xiao Tian in the next few days, she didn’t care about it. “What a pity. I thought Xiao Tian and Nalan Jiangge would continue fighting until one of them died. I didn’t expect that Xiao Tian would not do anything to her.”
Actually, Zhi Rou hated Xiao Tian and the Yun family because they had done something to her and her follower.
When she knew that there was an opportunity to make the two of them fight each other, of course, she would not let that opportunity slip away.
Zhi Rou immediately met Nalan Jiangge with a fake identity and told Nalan Jiangge that Xiao Tian had done something bad to her family and she wanted to take revenge on him.
Zhi Rou knew that Nalan Jiangge disliked Xiao Tian, so she was sure that Nalan Jiangge would agree to help her. And what she had guessed was right because Nalan Jiangge instantly agreed to help her.
If Guzuo was used by Nalan Jiangge, it could be said that Nalan Jiangge and Xiao Tian were used by her.
“When are we going to carry out your plan, master?” the lady who wore a black robe inquired.
“Not now because we have to go to Beijing first. There is something we should do before executing my plan.” Actually, Zhi Rou wanted to carry out her plan immediately, but because there was something she had to do in Beijing, she could not do that.
“Beijing?” the lady who wore a black robe was surprised after hearing Zhi Rou’s words. “When are we going?”
“Tomorrow morning.” Zhi Rou responded. “Don’t worry. As soon as we return to Shanghai, we will carry out the plan.”
“Thank you, master.” The lady who wore a black robe spoke.
Yes. She was the lady who hated Xiao Tian, not Zhi Rou.
Actually, Zhi Rou only hated the Yun family, but because her maid hated Xiao Tian, she decided to destroy Xiao Tian and the Yun family together.
“If you remain loyal to me, I will help you in everything.” Zhi Rou uttered.
“I will remain loyal to you, master.” The lady who wore a black robe respond.
