Seeing that Spectral Refiner had kept up with Yun Jian—in an elegant manner like a cultured gentleman, too, Phantom Flame recalled what the former said as she stood rooted before complaining, “What the heck? You’re just trying to say bragging! Why did you make it sound so mysterious and in a roundabout way?”
Phantom Flame grumbled at Spectral Refiner before she suddenly winced in thinking of something else. “Sister Jian has to brag too?”
The boss of the international Gu Sha Mercenaries had to boast as well? No way?
People would be begging to meet Sister Jian should her identity be introduced across the globe. Why would she need to do something as cheap as bragging?
Before Phantom Flame could contemplate further, Diane pointed out the crux. “Haha, it’s different. If it’s purely to brag and boast, Sister Jian wouldn’t need it! She’s bragging to unreasonable people—that’s what makes it different.”
“Bragging to those unreasonable ones will be like, they’ll grow angrier the better your life is, you know?”
“So what can killing them do? Other than your own gratification, they’ll be saved from the annoyance and anger when they die! We should learn from Sister Jian and make them suffer in aggravation!” Diane said jovially.
Truthfully, the trio would still kill those who deserved it. After all, some people would cause more troubles afterward if they were not killed in that instant. What Diane and Phantom Flame were saying now was just jokes.
As they conversed, both of them caught up to Yun Jian as well.
Yun Jian had already made the arrangement for the trio’s accommodation.
Qin Yirou and Ge Junjian’ wedding was three days later. Time flew. In a blink of eyes, they came to the day before the wedding.
It was the night of May 20th, 1999.
Si Yi had already come back from An Hun Group the day before.
The guests who Yun Jian had sent invitations out using the name of Gu Sha Mercenaries had already arrived in Longmen City the day before the wedding.
Recently, all the four and five-star hotels in Longmen City were fully booked.
Ge Xuan’s birth mother, Hua Yun, was holding her husband, Hu Chaoqun’s arm as they took their son, Hu Chixiang, to a four-star hotel in Longmen City.
“I’m sorry, we’re fully booked,” the hotel receptionist smiled and rejected them politely.
“What’s going on? This is already the third hotel. Why are all of them fully occupied?” Hua Yun, holding Hu Chaoqun’s arm, questioned the receptionist condescendingly.
Hua Yun and Hu Chaoqun did not stay in Longmen City. The reason Hu Chaoqun had decided to establish an amusement park in Longmen City was because the place was suitable to be developed.
Of course, there was partially the reason that they wanted to brag it to Hua Yun’s ex-husband, Ge Junjian. ‘See, a casual investment of mine is an amusement park and you? You’re rich but are you richer than me?’
It was unfortunate that the project had ended before it could be developed because Si Yi had intercepted it and bought the amusement park. The place was now Si Yi’s but Hua Yun and Hu Chaoqun had no idea about it.
“Apologies, sir and madam. I don’t know why we have more guests these days, so…” The receptionist wore an awkward smile.
“Not even one room? What’s the point of this hotel? How could—”
Hua Yun was going to berate her but Hu Chaoqun stopped her. “My darling, don’t get angry. We’ll just stay the night in an average hotel if there’s no star-rated ones.”
Hua Yun glowered immediately when she heard that they were going to a low-class place like that but Hu Chaoqun promptly put the smile back on her face.
“We’re attending your ex-husband’s wedding tomorrow and my uncle’s flown back from overseas specifically for this. He’s an international magnate and is extremely reputable. We’ll give your ex-husband a slap of reality and see how he’s bragging by then, haha!”
