Chapter 537 Explosive Matters (1)
537 Explosive Matters (1)
Cao Qing couldn't understand why women, especially those who were born in their world, could be so vicious even towards the people who shared the same gender as them.
Cao Yujin was not someone who 'accidentally' harmed another person. She was an habitual offender who did everything she wanted just she could.
And if she said that she would mess with Ran Xueyi, no one can stop her.
Of course, it doesn't mean she's completely unstoppable.
On the other hand, Ran Xueyi is someone who had taken too many thorny paths as she climbed to the top of the entertainment industry. Wherever you look, there will always be someone who will try to bring you down, Cao Yujin's threats and evil intentions weren't the first and last thing she'd seen and experienced.
But the audacity and ridiculousness of the situation still stunned her.
"Don't let her get to you," Song Yu Han held her cold fingers, "I'm here."
His words alone could make any disaster move aside and steer away from her. Why would Ran Xueyi feel worried about Cao Yujin?
The party continued with a tiny slip from the previous plans of the Cao family. In addition to not seeing Song Yu Han's presence in the banquet, they had just received the news that he got married to someone else. This ruined most of their plans to entice every wealthy elites and powerful figures in attendance tonight to support the Cao family in becoming the greatest in the Flower Country.
Initially, they wanted to use the pretext that the Cao family was looking for a groom from the invited guests to gather as much people they could get as witnesses when the time comes that Cao Yujin will be chosen y Song Yu Han in front of everybody.
However, it was too bad that it didn't happen.
They couldn't even force Cao Yujin to pick a wild grass in the guests' lists now that everything had gone way too far from their plans.
And thus, the Cao family could only tuck in their tails and proceed with the party without mentioning anything about the groom selection that was secretly being mentioned before.
Eager, hot-blooded young men, who came here at the leaked news that the main purpose of the party was to select a groom for her to marry, couldn't stop glancing at Cao Yujin, wishing that the Cao family could start the main event already.
But even after almost an hour, there were still no news nor movements from the members of the Cao family, which only irritated most of the people who came for the purpose of building a close relationship with the Cao family through marriage.
"What the hell is keeping them from starting?"
A young man ruffled his unruly dark hair as he swept his eyes towards Cao Yujin.
"They must still be preparing, young master Jun."
"Preparing?" Young Master Jun looked down at his wrist where an expensive watch was tied around his wrist, "We already wasted 2 hours of waiting for them to start. What other preparations do they need?"
The secretary, who stood beside him, wiped the sweat on his forehead, "Probably, they're examining and observing all the eligible men in the party?"
Young Master Jun looked at his secretary. Then, he patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "You're really smart. I didn't think about tha–Hey!"
Just as he was about to finish his words, Jun Lu was suddenly pushed by someone from behind him. He quickly turned his head to glare at the person and scold them, but curses and tongue-lashing words at the edge of his mouth were swallowed back to his stomach.
A tall man with tanned skin color looked at him with a pair of apathetic eyes. He looked somewhat rough, but he possessed a foreign beauty that made you turn to get a clearer look at him. But that was not what took Jun Lu to shut his mouth.
Beside his cold and evil appearance, the scar that dragged from his outer left eyebrow to the corner of his left lip made him look very much like a criminal or a member of an evil organization.
A prim and city born young master like Jun Lu couldn't continue his high and mighty act against this type of guy. It was as if he was acting like a school thug against a mafia member.
"Bro-brother, you scared me," Jun Lu tried to sound as normal as he could, but his polite words and actions only showed how much he didn't want to mess with the man. "Do you want to go this way? Sure, I'll step aside."
He didn't know who this scary-looking man was, but Jun Lu knew instinctively not to offend him. It was like standing before a ravenous lion, who was calmly sitting in front.
"Percy, that's the wrong way," a man taller than the tan-skinned man, who was called Percy, appeared behind him. "Elder Liao is right there."
The man tipped his chin towards another direction. Percy followed where he was pointing at and saw Elder Liao standing beside an elderly man who wore a business suit.
"That old man should be Old Patriarch Cao," the other man added. "Percy, aren't you going to head over to meet your in-laws?"
"What nonsense," Percy narrowed his eyes at him.
"But isn't that the truth?" the other man shrugged lazily, "Elder Liao should have already told you about this, right?"
Percy frowned. He was called by Elder Liao a few days ago. When he was ordered to go back to Flower Country, he found out that Xiaoshun, one of his juniors in the organization, disappeared. And it seemed that the root cause of his disappearance had something to do with the Cao family…
But he never agreed to the talks of marriage between him and anyone from that family.
Although he didn't agree, Elder Liao held the most authority inside An Hun.
And Percy didn't really think of stopping Elder Liao since he seemed to have some plans.
Percy said, "It's still too early to know if I'll marry into that family or not."
