Chapter one

At a side of the lawn, on a wooden bridge, the offsprings of Wei and Liu were standing with mouth gossiping but eyes watched four youthful ladies that were staying by the flower park before. 

"The girls are pretty," Wei Feng said.

"Yes." Liu Tao wagged. "Do you have any idea where they are from?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure they are from rich families or they would not be allowed to come in."

"Perhaps they are daughters of millionaire Yang."

Wei Feng shook head, "They cannot be."

"How can you know they are not?"

"Millionaire Yang organizes this event in order to show off his daughters. I heard he manages his daughters to perform dancing for the guests, so now, they should be in the room and decorate for the performance. I heard that mayor Wu will come as well."

"So, it means Yang is not small." Liu Tao wagged. He put a cake into mouth then chewed it before he made the remark, "I never met him but I heard my father said he is hard to please."

"It's not strange," Wei Feng claimed. "He has power and wealth. Uncountable farms that the government gives to him. Just renting those lands, in a month, will make Wu's family able to spend for five years."

"I heard he has four wives."

Wei Feng nodded, "Um."

"Will he bring all his wives to attend this event?"

"Only the banquet of the royal family he'll bring his women to. Besides, he brings his official wife, his second son, Wu Longwei, and his third daughter, Wu Lantian."

"Wu Lantian!"

"You know her!"

"In the capital, her name is famous. She is the girl that officially wears a man's dress, drinks wine, plays gambling and enters the brothel."

"Do you like her?"

Liu Tao shook his head, "She already announced that she likes women, so I think neither I nor other men can have a chance. Furthermore, I've never seen her."

"So, today take your chance. When mayor Wu comes, open your eyes; the person who walks behind him is Wu Lantian."

Liu Tao narrowed eyebrows, "She does not walk behind madame Wu?"

"No, she is behind mayor Wu. Walking after madame Wu is Wu Longwei."

"It's strange. It should be the son walking behind the father, but this... Why?"

"Perhaps it's because Wu Lantian is the daughter of madame Wu and Wu Longwei is the son from third wife."

"If so, why does he bring him?"

"Because he is the son and he will be the heir of Wu. When mayor Wu retires, Wu Longwei will be the person who inherits his work."

"Wu's family is full of strange things." Liu Tao giggled. "Well, I am wondering what is the reason that can change Wu's daughter, in a day, from normal girl to become like today."

"I want to know too."

"Huh..." Liu Tao blew. "Really sad to hear that."

"Yes," Wei Feng wagged, "it's a waste."

Liu Tao wagged in a row like the tail of a canny, "Right. It's a waste."

Suddenly, a voice echoed, "Mayor Wu is arriving."

At once everyone spun towards the entrance - which Yang Fu and his three wives including other rich millionaires were walking in. In the middle of the group, the first row presented a middle aged adult, tall, with eyes and a face like a hawk. He stepped his clear pace, one by one, full of weight of capability and righteousness. With these features, though people met him for the first time, still they were able to correctly guess he was Mayor Wu Guang.

On the right side was Lady Chen who was the same age as husband. Always her walk was after her spouse, showing her great nobility, worth her title as official madame of Wu.

"Master Wu, madame Wu," the governors and the riches greeted. In return, Wu's master and mistress expressed smiles to them.

Behind lady Chen was a young man that people were able to know he was no one besides Wu Longwei, the heir of Wu.

Talking about this fellow, we could see he was born with tall height like his father, but thinner. He had a gentle face and kind characteristics. As well he was good looking and humble, which made the girls in the party peep and smile and most of them felt their hearts in their chest jumping faster than usual.

Well, the young man might look charming and attractive because he was young, but if compared with his father, he was less powerful. Though he was in years, Wu Guang was still strong and energetic. It was strange that Wu Longwei was the biological son of the tiger, but he did not obtain his father's strength. In contrast, the vigor of Wu was seen over the body of the juvenile lassie that was walking behind him.

"She is Wu Lantian," Wei Feng told and Liu Tao looked at his friend's telling.

Within blue suit of man's style, white cloud collar, hair bonding on head, long pony at waist length, wide open chested, a twinkle and unique hanging over right thigh, hands clasped behind back and in right palm held a male fan, Wu Lantian was really the handsome beautiful woman. Though she stood behind, her light was very shiny - even her brother was covered by her glow. Meanwhile eyes of in-party-colleens exchanged from master Wu's son, and some of them experienced heart beating faster when they saw his daughter; their minds mourned that she was not a man. Even Liu Tao wagged his head, "She is really great. I wish I were a woman."

Hearing it Wei Feng slapped the head of his friend, "You are insane."

"I said truly," Liu Tao claimed and fondled the back of head that was hit at the last moment. "I would agree to be born as a woman if she selected me."

"Your father will cut you into pieces if he hears your speech," Wei Feng said and threw an irritated glance at his buddy. Later on, he rotated face to right and left and asked, "Where is young master Chen?"

"He goes to the bathroom," Liu Tao told.

"Bathroom? But he takes so long..."

At that moment sound of the music echoed. Wei Feng, Liu Tao and all guests rotated their eyes and faces to a wide space surrounded by colorful flowers, before the pond.
