When she noticed a maybach in the basement garage, she looked for the driver and saw him laying down in the resting area. She ran to him and shook him awake.
The driver noticed her and his old eyes went wide open immediately. Apologizing, he stood up and bowed. Noticing his tired face, Aizhe felt bad and shook her heads hurriedly.
"Uncle, are you sick? Is there any other driver around here?" Aizhe didn't want to rush him in this state, so she asked for a replacement.
"Little Miss, there is no worries. You don't have to look for another one. They all left with the other family relatives who came by this evening."
Not seeing anyone else in the garage, Aizhe felt more dejected. She frowned and spoke out.
"Uncle, how about you drive me and we stop by a pharmacy first and then we would continue back to the banquet?"Aizhe suggested. She was in an urgency, thats why she didn't argue back. Otherwise, she would rather stay but not force him to drive her in this state.
Smiling at her sweet and kind words, the uncle nodded and went back to the security section and took the cars key. He went pass Aizhe and put the keys in the car. Aizhe smiled helplessly and went towards the car to enter. She sat at the back and soon the car passed the Li Mansion towards the Hyatt Regency Harbor.

"Brother, how long till I see my sis-in-law in that beautiful dress?" Ai kept stuffing her mouth with spicy chittlins in a mannerless way.
Ai never would have come in to this bustling room, full of socialites and powerful man if it was not for her sis-in-law. She was tired of waiting now. She looked at the hot steamed bun and the chittlins and sighed.
There was nothing else beside eating and watching the facade in those ladies who came forward to greet her family.
"Xiǎo pàngzi, didn't you tell Mother you are going to wait patiently? What say, should I tell mother you can't wait here and need to rest at home?" Ah Si looked a her with an devious look and calmly sipped his champagne.
"Shut up and who is pàngzi?" Ai looked at him with an annoyed look. Xiǎo pàngzi? How is she a pàngzi ? She looked down annoyingly and stuffed her mouth with more Chittlins.
Her baby was hungry, okay? She had to feed it..
"When will you stop using that nickname Bebo?
"The day you will stop using 'Bebo'.." He took a sip of the wine and blantly spoke out.
Ai looked at him and pouted. "How do I, so slim and sexy look like a fatso to you? Stop it! It doesn't suit my personality or my appearance..if someone hears it, what would they think?"
Ah Si looked at his sister and suddenly chuckled when he heard her infuriated words. He loved her, but he loved more to annoy her. Pàngzi was a nickname he gave Ai when she was five years old. She would always steal or eat his food. It became a habit soon, and everytime she would take his chocolates or share of food, he wouldn't be shocked or infuriated with her. He would just simply shook his head and call her Xiǎo pàngzi.
"What are you laughing at?.." Ai stood up irritately, holding his collar she was going to kick him, but then she heard a little cough behind her. Noticing a two figure standing infront of her, Ai looked at her tight fist and smiled awkwardly. She hesitantly stepped back and let her brothers collar free.
"Hello.." Ai carefully let out her hands for a greeting but she didn't receive any greetings. Noticing their deep gaze, Ai was taken aback and her brows furrowed. She looked at the sapphire dressed girl and felt dissatisfied with her attitude.
If she was not mistaken..this was Li Lina. Li Aizhe's cousin. What was with her attitude? And..was she prying for her brother? No wonder she didn't shook her hands. She must have thought Ai as Ah Si's partner.
Ai retreated her hands back and looked at her brother instead. Just as she thought, her brothers face was clouded with dark clouds and his gaze deepened. She put her hands around his arms and shook her head at him. Looking infront of her, she noticed their change of behavior and smirked.
Li Lina's gaze changed and Cheng Meng coughed to ease the tension in the air.
"Hello, Young Master Ah. It is really pleasing to meet you. I have heard a lot about you and your family." Li Lina spoke up, her eyes brightening by the towering figure infront of her. He was astonishing and handsome. His black onze eyes were captivating and his shoulder length flowy hair were done perfectly and was resting amazingly on his shoulders. His three piece suit was chic and clean. He looked posh and high as he stared at her with a clean and deep gaze.
" It is great to see you Young Master Ah. This is my precious daughter, Lina." She shooked her daughters arm a little. She liked the chemistry and the stare that was going on between them. She probed Lina and excitedly introduced her.
Looking at their faces, Ah Si understood their intentions immediately and felt irritated. His brows furrowed and his eyes wore the same familiar chilling warning look. His face was devoid of any emotions and he didn't say anything, nor moved a limb. He kept staring weirdly at the girl infront of him. She was the nth girl who came today and all of them were the same. Annoying!
How was this girl Aizhe's cousin? Ah Si wondered.
Looking at his face, Lina's face turned crimson red. She looked into his eyes and seeing her reflection upon it, her face flushed more. She was strucken by his beauty and forgot to reply. She was looking at him since he entered this hall and since then she was awe-stricken. How could he be so charming?
It wasn't her first time seeing hot and handsome man, but this one was just...
Hearing her mother's low mumbling words, Lina was finally taken aback from her day dream. She cleared her throat and hurriedly turned to him and with her eyes that looked pure and her tone that was as sweets as honey, she spoke out.
"Mr. Ah, would you do the honor to dance with me?"
Not liking her flirty look, Ai frowned and looked at Lina.
"Ms.Li, I am sorry, but Si has other matters to attend. We will get going, see you around!" Ai tried hard to control the fire brewing inside her. Although this girl and that old lady was her sis-in-law family members, she couldn't help but feel irritated with her.
Ah Si looked at his sister and his chilling gaze dissipated a little. No wonder his sister was his guardian angel. She was always there for him!
He patted her head and walked with her to the elders. The Ah couple were talking with the other guest and Lu Jung was talking with familiar guests.
Ah Si looked down at his hand watch and frowned. Just as he was going to start talking, a loud announcement of someone's arrival was heard. At the same time, the main door to the banquet was opened and the people held their breath in shock.
There was a girl standing there and she looked dazzling. She stood there with her arms set on her other one.
