Marriage meeting

Hearing Grandfather Jing's name Liao Qing dropped his further plans to make a move on her. Gu Lin shifted to Mo Xiao, before they both walked towards the balcony for a private chat.

"What are you planning to do with him?" Gu Lin asked while downing his wine.

"Though, I was just asked to find the person who caused an accident in front of City Hospital yesterday. I found something more. The victim's name was Sia Chen. Isn't it interesting. She's the same that came here today. Is she the one??" he continued.

"Yes. I would wait for today, she knows him. I want to know what she plans to do." Mo Xiao replied.

"She knows him? How? He's dangerous." said Gu Lin.

"I'm aware."

"Okay. Then you should handle the matter well. Tell me if you need something."

Mo Xiao nodded before they came back to their table.

Early next morning, at Sia's apartment. Qitong came knocking at the door.

It was still early to wake up for Sia as it was a weekend. She stared at Qitong as if she was a ghost. She gave her a box, at which Sia raised a brow, looking a bit annoyed.

"What the hell! Grandpa involved you in his plan. No wonder you urged me yesterday. You guys are just too much." she growled after looking at the thing inside the box, she was obviously angry at both of them.

"Remember to wear this. Grandfather Jing has forced me into this, please understand I cannot stand against those rewards you see." Qitong grinned before trying to scurry off, but Sia caught her wrist.

"He asked you to make me wear this or to give me this? Tell me his exact words."

Qitong thought for a moment before replying, "He said to take you for a makeover and to hand you this early morning."

A cunning look appeared on Sia's face and Qitong recognized it. A plan brewed in her mind that will make sure that Qitong won't miss out on her reward. Qitong was very precious to Sia as there were only a few females she was comfortable with.

She opened the box to look at the qipao. It was extremely gorgeous with intricate pattern of a Phoenix starting at the chest area towards the bottom. It was simple yet elegant. There was no other work other than the rising phoenix in bright red color on the black qipao. She felt pity for not wearing such a masterpiece but, she couldn't give hope to anyone that she would marry Mo Jingze.

Yes, she thought that the person visiting her for a marriage proposal was Mo Jingze because, Mo Xiao was like a dream. Besides, there were rumors about him being with Huo Yue, daughter of his mother's best friend and the owner of a fashion label of her own.

She finally took out her phone and called Eva, "Arrange for a meeting with Fang Yu. I want meet him after lunch." She hanged up the call right after that without waiting for Eva to reply. Eva was muddled. It was clearly a weekend and Sia never worked on weekend unless it was urgent. And meeting Fang Yu was the least important thing on her list right now. She still abided by the rules and arranged the meet.

Sia changed before hopping into her Lamborghini that came back today from service center and driving towards Jing mansion. Her car was a mess after the accident but gladly she was fine.

Elder Mo and Mo Xiao had already arrived when she reached the gates. She walked towards the elders after finding them playing chess. She didn't saw Mo Jingze so she was a lot more relaxed. She greeted both the elders but, Grandfather Jing was slightly mad at her as she came wearing a baby pink blouse and a white suit, looking like she was here to attend a meeting, but it was within his expectations.

Grandfather Mo smiled at her before saying, "Child, do you need to attend any meeting?". Sia nodded. He continued understandingly, "My grandson is in the garden, go have a chat with him. I hope you can join us for lunch, but if you need to go, ask him to drive you." Sia smiled at him before walking to the garden.

Mo Xiao was standing in the corridor opposite to the garden talking to Xu Xin on phone when he saw Sia walking towards the garden. He stepped to catch up to her when heard her talk on call to someone. It wasn't intentional but he still heard her.

"No Qiqi, I didn't meet him yet. Don't you dare expect that. I won't marry a player. I'm meeting him just because Grandpa….. she sighed. I really don't know what to do with him. Forget it. I'll just convince Mo Jingze to reject me." Mo Xiao was confused when she mentioned Mo Jingze. "Fine fine I'll update you. Now I need to find him first. Bye."

She suddenly turned nearly bumping into him but instinctively moving back, she looked up dazed only to find Mo Xiao staring at her. She was startled but she didn't show it. But it didn't escape his eyes, he was quite good at observing.

She was about to say something when she heard his phone ringing, she stayed silent. She thought he would go somewhere else to pick the call but he picked it up right in front of her. She was scrutinizing him from head to toe while he was on phone. He was wearing a royal blue suit with a white shirt underneath, his expression was cold while talking. He was nearly 2 to 3 inches taller than her though she was wearing heels, his jet black hair were fixed to one side but their length visibly could cover his eyes, those eyes were black, deep black presenting the depths of hell and the aura emitting from him was just like of a medieval king.

"Where are you? I'm at your office but you I heard you didn't come today?" Gu Lin said.

"I'm not coming today. I'm in a meeting." Said Mo Xiao.

"Meeting?? What kind of meeting?" asked Gu Lin.

"Marriage meeting." he replied almost immediately, his tone was casual like he was just stating a fact but those words stunned both Gu Lin as well as Sia. He hanged up the call without waiting for Gu Lin's reply. But he didn't have anything to reply anyway.

Though she was baffled she looked indifferent.

"Are you the one I'm being arranged to marry?" she asked.

"Yes. But I guess you were expecting someone else." he smiled at her.

She instinctively nodded hypnotized by that smile.
