Looking For Reinforcements

"Who is that?" Yu Zan asked in disdain. Then, she said quickly, "Forget I asked. You don't even remember your own name most of the time."

"Actually, I know who she is," Sun Mei answered, sounding slightly offended. "That's Veronica."

"Who's Veronica?" Yu Zan asked with a frown.

"Mr. Wu's assistant."

"The one who tried to steal you from me?" Yu Zan exclaimed.

"She did not steal me. I haven't even seen her since the photoshoot. I just said that she was nice…"

"Nice?" Yu Zan yelled. Thankfully, the music was so loud that nobody heard her. "First, she tries to steal my best friend and now my future boyfriend? This means war!"

Sun Mei watched in terror as Yu Zan stormed off in Parker Qin's direction.

"Yu Zan! Yu Zan, come back!"

Unfortunately, Yu Zan didn't hear her or pretended not to.

Sun Mei turned around desperately and started searching for Mr. Wu. If a catfight broke out, his party would possibly be ruined. She had to warn him and ask for his help to prevent this.

One minute later, she spotted Mr. Wu next to the buffet. He was talking to a white-haired man in a suit and helping himself to a Christmas cookie.

Sun Mei, who was kind of hungry, was momentarily distracted by the sight of the rich buffet. There was turkey, ham, roasted potatoes, grilled vegetables, and all kinds of cookies and candy.

Did Yu Zan really have to make a scene now?

Sun Mei weighed her options. If she stopped to eat something now, she would get interrupted before she could enjoy it if a fight broke out. She might as well solve the most imminent problem first.

"Sorry, sir, may I borrow Mr. Wu for a moment?" Sun Mei asked the older man respectfully while also trying to indirectly convey the urgency of the matter.

"Uh… Sure!" the man said reluctantly after a moment.

"Sun Mei," Mr. Wu whispered urgently as she dragged him away. "That was one of the board members of the co-"

"Yu Zan is about to start a fight!"

"Okay, your issue is a bigger priority."

"Told you so."

Sun Mei led Mr. Wu speedily toward the area where she had last seen Yu Zan. To their surprise, when they got there, they found her chatting pleasantly with both Veronica and Parker Qin.

Mr. Wu turned to look at Sun Mei and crossed his arms over his chest. "She looks pretty calm to me."

"But…"

"I think you can handle this by yourself." Mr. Wu patted Sun Mei's arm and walked away swiftly.

Sun Mei glared at Yu Zan, who was laughing at something Veronica had said, with all her mental power. She had embarrassed her in front of Mr. Wu!

"Hi, Veronica! It's nice to see you again," Sun Mei said deliberately as she approached the three of them. Then, she turned to Yu Zan and forced a smile. "Can I talk to you for a moment, Yu Zan?"

"Now? We are in the middle of something."

"Yes, now."

Yu Zan sighed in exasperation. "Okay, if it can't wait…"
