The trade

"Dinner is ready," said Madam Zhao as the maids placed the food on the table. They all sat down ready to eat.

"Why don't we let our guests eat first," suggested Mister Zhao. Hearing his request the rest of the family agreed.

"What do you want to eat," he said asking Zhao ai. She harshly turned around to look at him. Then she pointed to herself. He softly smiled giving her an answer.

"Zhao ai you should be eating a lot you know," said one of her aunties. "We don't want you to become as fat as your deceased mother," commented another one.

"I wondered how they managed to fit her in there," finished another. Zhao ai looked at each of them then back to Lei who still had that smile.

She pointed to one dish which was cooked by Ms.Wong. " That's all," said Lei looking concerned. She just shook her head as she give him the same reassuring smile he had given her.

After they all got served Mister Zhao decided that it was a good moment to talk about business.

"Lei I heard your company is one of the op 3 out there now," said Mister Zhao.

" I would say that," replied Lei trying his best to act modestly.

" After all you can't get all that money only from a company," said one of Zhao ai uncles. " Is there something else you have going on like dr...," before he could finish his sentence he got cut off by Madam Zhao.

"Please ignore his rudeness," she said while shooting that uncle a death look. They spent the rest of the time eating the dinner that was provided. With every chance he got Lei would look over to Zhao ai to make sure that she was okay.

Zhao ai had a blank look on her face. She was emotionless. After dinner, they were yet again escorted to a different place. This time Lei, Zhao ai grandparents and her uncle weren't with them which made her worry.

She sat down on the couch using her phone. While everyone else was either talking about her and her parents.

"Lei follow us," said mister Zhao. It was not an ordinary dinner for the trio compared to the rest of the family. The real reason behind the dinner was that Zhao ai grandparents wanted him to marry her sister instead of her. After all her sisters were easier to use and manipulate.

"Have a seat," said her uncle. Lei looked at the chair when suddenly the room got cold again. This time Lei was giving off a dominating aura just what you would expect from someone from the Wang family.

"Well w actually wanted to ask you something," started Madam Zhao. " We want you to marry her sister instead," finished the uncle.

Lei scoffed as his tongue pocked the inside of his cheek "What do I get?" asked Lei as he pulled something out of his suit.

"Well, you get a prettier wife that has more things to offer," said Mister Zhao. The room's lights were dimmed so you could really see anything clearly. When the next thing they heard was three loud gunshots.
