"Do I've any other choice?" Ultimately, Gu Huan gave in to his stubborn grandfather's request.
Elder Xu wholeheartedly laughed, "It's just a party, why are you making a fuss? Who knows you may enjoy?"
Who knew Elder Xu's words would come true?
Gu Huan was sitting near the bar, least concerned about what was happening, if not for his grandpa's reputation, he would've left the moment he knew that it was Sid Bao's birthday! His grandfather tricked him again!
Knowing that he hated this father-daughter pair, his grandfather, still send him here.
Lately, Elder Xu has been travelling back and forth, from City A to LA, where he lives, one morning he would be here, the next there. If asked why, he simply replies with an excuse! Gu Huan was suspicious of his action, but didn't do anything, knowing his grandfather, he wouldn't get a clue even if he bribes someone from his grandfather's team!
Today was no difference, Gu Huan was just living, doing nothing, when he got a call from his grandfather, saying him to attend a party on his behalf, to which he firmly turned down.
Did Elder Xu back down? Why would he? And that's true, here he was in front of the bar, with juice in his glass, the bartender gave him weird looks, to which he gives a damn.
In between his plan to run away, there was a sizzling sound in the air, followed by the fireworks, then the entry of ZouMi. The grand entry in the hall, left everyone speechless, but he wasn't amused, if she is here, she will make sure that her presence would be blasting!
What Gu Huan was concerned was, she was in odd terms with this family, yet she is here, he sensed danger the moment she entered. What more was, her dressing, she wasn't done in a heavy designer dress, jewelry dripping, but a simple two-piece suit, with white shirt beneath. He didn't want to move his eyes away from her, scared she would be taken advantage of. But, is that easy?
------
Sid Bao, who was, yet to come back from the blasting entry of ZouMi, heard a soft sob near him. A petty figure leaned on him, while tears fell like waterfall.
"Ay'er, why are you crying?" Placing his hand on his daughter's head, he asked softly.
"Dad, that bit*h, she is such a sl*t! All she wants is attention, she knowingly bumped into me..."
"It's okay, if all she wants is attention, then let's give her. Tonight, she'll have it all. You don't have to worry." His eyes shined in the dark, Sid Xiniay was comforted listing to her father's words. They both left to greet the guest. ZouMi didn't go to meet Sid Bao, neither anyone from the family. She stood in the center of the hall, with a glass of wine in her hand, her face was cold, neither welcoming nor serious. Surrounded by a few business partners, she wasn't interested in talking, one after another man would come up greet them, wanting to make small talks with ZouMi, but she didn't give them face.
One of her business partner's friend, introduced his son to her, "Miss ZouMing, nice to meet you. I'm Chu Li." He extended his hand to her, he was captivated by her looks the moment he saw her. ZouMi barely glance at him, then turned away, his body froze, his hand hang in air awkwardly. Furious, Chu Li wanted to grab her hand, the moment his fingers were to grab her hand, his wrist was caught, so tightly, he felt his bone would break any time.
ZouMi's face turned cold, serious, dark aura covered her. Jerking his hand off, a wet tissue was passed to her, she wiped her hand, then sanitized it and again wiped it, Si Ban held the sanitizer and the wet wipes.
Whole room went silent, Chuxi Corporation weren't someone one should mess with, specially the only successor, Chu Li, who was pampered prince, with high ego.
Chu Li's face turned red, due to anger and frustration, this fragile looking girl possessed mighty powers, and he could feel the numbness from his wrist.
Furious, Father Chu lashed out at ZouMi.
"You shameless sl*t, you should be happy that my son liked you. You're just a girl, don't act highly, you're nothing, but a tool for a man to satisfy their s*xual desires! Guards, capture her." This isn't new, in high class society girls are treated just a trade for money, they would be married off to some billionaires without their consent.
"You think the same for your wife?" ZouMi didn't care about anything, she wanted to kill him right now, but restrained. Accompanying Mr. Chu's wife face ashed, she looked at her husband, waiting for his answer.
Gu Huan who wasn't far, was shocked at first, but the next moment he was proud of her, he wanted to go and beat the sh*t out of that guy.
"President Chu, it's famous around the work field, that Miss ZouMi have severe germophobia, and can't take direct skin contact." ZouMi's business partner hurriedly explained, not wanting any misunderstanding.
Gu Huan's eyes widened, the juice in his glass slip onto his hand while he stared at her with a dumbfounded expression.
ZouMi hasn't uttered a word since she entered the hall, all she would do was nod. But, the moment she said something, there was an uproar in the hall, all awaited for the reaction from Mr. Chu.
