Mr. Ming was already thinking about how more people would flood his restaurant if he should release the piece of news to the media. He was just your typical greedy man that could do anything for money even with how rich he already was.
He could have released the news but he knew better than to allow his years of hard work go down the drain. He would surely be the first to be suspected which would mean a big goodbye to his business.
Luckily for him, he was rational enough to think about the outcome of messing with the Golden King of the entertainment industry.
* * * *=One of the private rooms=" Li Shang, do you think Ah Yi is coming? It's already getting late " Zhou Kexin said looking at Li Shang's face.
" Oh....that, I called him but he said he had some works to take care of " Li Shang lied. He didn't put a call across Zheng Tianyi at all." Ahh...I see " Zhou Kexin slowly nodded feeling downhearted. She wouldn't have bothered to come if she knew he wasn't present.Li Shang noticed her mood. " Why are you looking like that, do you mean I can't invite you to a meal" He asked her with a smile.
" No....that's not it. I just expected Ah Yi to be here by now " She raised her wineglass and clinked it with the wineglass Li Shang held then took a sip of her red wine.
Zhou Kexin placed her wine glass back on the table but it lost balance and fell on her spilling the contents on her laps.
" Ahh!!" She shrieked. She had worn the dress specially for Zheng Tianyi. Her short white limited edition gown was already ruined.
" Are you okay?" Li Shang worriedly asked as he offered her some tissue from the tissue box.
Zhou Kexin shook her head and received the tissue from him. " Thanks, I will clean it up in the restroom " She offered him a smile and walked out of their private room using her bag to cover the stained part of her white gown.
Li Shang looked at the door she left through. " When would you look at my side?" He said sadly as he downed his wine at a go.
Zhou Kexin hurriedly walked into the restroom. Luckily for her nobody was there to see her stained dress. After cleaning it for a while and the stain was fairly visible she walked out of the restroom.
" This..." Zhou Kexin muttered as she saw an entourage of bodyguards walk past her forming a barricade around someone she couldn't see. Her eyes followed them as they moved further. She saw a little boy leave the middle of the bodyguards to pick something that fell from his hand.Yuxuan sensed someone looking at him so he briefly turned his face towards Zhou Kexin direction. He ignored her and went back to join the bodyguards waiting for him.
"..." Although there was quite a distance between Zhou Kexin and the entourage, she was still a to catch a glimpse of Yuxuan's face.' How can that little boy possibly look like Ah Yi ' She thought with a confused gaze. Trying to satisfy her curiosity, she decided to follow them.
" Hey, what are you looking at?" Li Shang asked as he approached Zhou Kexin. He had waited for a while but was becoming worried when she hasn't returned to their room.
Zhou Kexin withdrew her gaze from the direction she was looking at. " No, it's nothing let's go " She forced a smile at him and they walked away from the front of the restroom. Zhou Kexin kept on looking back at the Silver room.
The Silver room was the only room located on the topmost floor of Tranquil Restaurant. It was a very large room that had its own kitchen in it. Only the five star Michelin chefs were allowed to cook for the guest.
" This way please. I'm sorry for the delay" Mr. Ming led them into the room, bowed down and left. Five of the bodyguards were left in the room with the rest guarding the door.
Before long, two men putting on a chef attire walked into the Silver room.
" Good day Mr. Zheng " One of the men greeted. From his accent, it was obvious that he was a Frenchman.
Zheng Tianyi didn't bother to give him a reply, rather he opened the magazine on the table and skimmed through it.
One of the bodyguards led the men to the kitchen and stood with them. Yuxuan had already informed the bodyguards on what he would like to eat.

" Sir, where would you like to go?" Han Sen asked as his boss and Yuxuan entered the car.
" To the main house "
Han Sen nodded his head and zoomed off. After about two hours, they got to the mansion.
" We are here" Han Sen announced. The main house was where Zheng Tianyi with his late parents lived since he was born. Han Sen offered to carry the sleeping Yuxuan but Zheng Tianyi motioned him to stop.
Zheng Tianyi personally carried Yuxuan surprising Han Sen. He knew that his boss wasn't really fond of children but seeing the way he carried Yuxuan gently without waking him up like it wasn't his first time doing so. He was quite skilled at it. Han Sen closed the door of the Rolls Royce. and bade Zheng Tianyi goodbye. He could already imagine the look of surprise on the workers face when they see a mini version of Zheng Tianyi.
Anyone who saw them together would think they are father and son and wouldn't know the complicated relationship between Yuxuan mother and Zheng Tianyi.
" Young..." Just as Han Sen thought, words got stuck in Butler Yim's mouth. Butler Yim rubbed his face with his palm thinking it was due to him expecting a child from his old young master that he was hallucinating. He opened his eyes and still saw Zheng Tianyi standing straight with Yuxuan head resting on his shoulder. Although butler Yim was only able to see the side view of the little boy, it was obvious Yuxuan was the carbon copy of Zheng Tianyi.
" Butler Yim, prepare a room for this child. It should be filled with necessities that you think he would need" Zheng Tianyi ordered as he entered the house. Just like butler Yim, the three maids on night duty were also equally surprised but couldn't show it on their faces as they have been professionally trained. They just carried on with their duties keeping on a straight face." Hey, did you see Master Zheng just now?" One of the maids asked as soon as Zheng Tianyi disappeared." Of course. Who was that little boy he carried? " The second maid asked looking equally surprised." Could that be his secret son? Thinking about how he once disappeared for a year. It's possible he was married '' The first maid replied placing her hand on hr chin.The third maid approached them and whispered, " Didn't you hear that Master Zheng is unable to do that ' thing ' again after his accident? That's the reason he hasn't being married given how old he is. No matter how
" How is Yutong? " Jiang Xiuying asked in English as she took a seat in front of Dr. Yukira.The Doctor removed the glasses he was putting on and moved his chair closer to the table." I will be frank with you, it's a miracle that her fingers twitched. The poison in her body has already stop spreading further. Since we are still unable to detect the kind of poison in her body, we can only continue to monitor her for now. Hopefully, if she continues responding to treatment and the poison doesn't spread she might regain her consciousness very soon " Dr. Yukira informed as he reclined on his chair.Jiang Xiuying nodded in understanding. If the poison doesn't spread to her heart, she might be able to regain consciousness but if it spreads, they might have to prepare for the worst. She felt a lump in her throat that made her unable to question the Doctor any further." Ms. Jiang, don't you think it's high time for you to drop the guilt you are feeling and visi
Jiang Xiuying stared at the name tag on the door for a while and placed her hand on the door knob. She was in deep thought that she didn't even realise Michael and Marcus were not guarding the room. She tried to open the door but couldn't bring herself to do it.Jiang Xiuying exhaled loudly and tried to open the door again but she met with a dead end.' Even my body is subconsciously refusing to see Yutong ' Jiang Xiuying thought sadly as she sat on the bench outside the ward." You don't have to force yourself. It's okay that you already made an attempt to see her " Lu Beichen strolled towards her and sat beside her." I guess" Jiang Xiuying replied tiredly combing her fingers through her hair." You should go home. Grandfather requested for your presence. "" Chairman Lu ? Did he say the reason? "" Nope. I guess you should leave now, he has a flight to catch in two hours " Lu Beichen looked at his wristwatch ." Alright. " S
Jiang Xiuying pulled the car over as she got to the front of an Hospital. She removed the earphones from her ear and looked above her right shoulder." You...." Jiang Xiuying intently stared at him. " You are Chinese right?" She asked speaking Mandarin Chinese.Si Feng slowly nodded his head. He removed the baseball cap he was wearing and tightly held on to it. There was no need to hide his face again. He sensed she didn't have any intention to hand him over to the police since her car was parked in front of an hospital." Why did you take that man's money? " Si Feng heard Jiang Xiuying's melodious voice in his ear. He raised his head up and was surprised by her beauty. She looked just like a goddess with her almond shaped eyes showing some sort of curiosity. Si Feng gulped twice to use his saliva to wet his suddenly dry throat." My mother is sick and I'm in need of money to buy her drugs." He replied with his head lowered down. He felt embarrassed that
Jiang Xiuying noticed a car parked in from of the hospital with a number plate that had the blue logo of the Lu Family. She knew at once that the car was there to pick her up. She got into the car and it zoomed off.Jiang Xiuying looked at the familiar residence of the Lumber family. With a smile on her face, she entered the large house." Young Miss " All of the maids she passed by respectfully greeted her which she only returned with a slight nod.She walked into her room and closed the door with a loud bang. All of the Children and grandchildren of Chairman Lu had a room that belonged to each of them. Jiang Xiuying was very tired and feeling jet lagged. She hurriedly took off her clothes and took a quick bath. She didn't know what Chairman Lu needed her for and she must be quick since his flight was in an hour time. She already spent an hour on the road.Jiang Xiuying settled on a black gown that flowed freely from her waist to down to her ankle.
The next day, Yutong was already in her blue tutu that matched with the colour of her eyes. Her long hair was tied into a bun leaving her straight bangs that covered her eyebrows.She swirled around in happiness and went to hug Lu Beichen." Do you like it? " Lu Beichen asked with a doting smile on his face." Like it! Like it !!" She exclaimed jumping around in excitement. Lu Beichen carried her up. " Let's go to your dance studio to see how you can perform " He said as he walked out of the room.When they got to the front of the room, Lu Beichen brought Yutong down and bent to her level. " Are you ready for my surprise? "" Sure. I can't wait." She replied nodding her head. Lu Beichen straightened himself and opened the door of the studio and entered with Yutong closing the door behind. The light of the studio was turned off causing Lu Beichen and Yutong to be unable to see anything." Uncle, why is the light turned off? Could this b
It was a Sunday and also the day of for the workers at the Zheng Tianyi's mansion.Zheng Tianyi and Yuxuan sat in the dining room enjoying dinner made by him. Zheng Tianyi noticed that Yuxuan didn't know how to use chopsticks so he began to feed him the pasta he made.While they were eating , the familiar melodious sound of his ringtone sounded interrupting the quiet time of the father and son duo.How shall we long for ♪Where we are going ♪No matter how frustrating it can be ♪♪You are my soulmate ♪" What is it?" Zheng Tianyi asked with irritation evident in his voice." Sir, the CEO of ZG group is here. He requests your presence."" Let him wait for a while" Zheng Tianyi replied and hung up. He couldn't help but wonder what his Uncle was doing at his place at such a late hour. Rather than hurrying up, he did everything at his own pace. He was sure his uncle won't mind staying outside for an hour.
" Alright...that's all for today. Ms Zhou, you should get some rest. We can schedule another day to record the song. It seems you haven't gotten yourself in the mood of the song. " Zhou Kexin heard as soon as she got out from the recording booth.Zhou Kexin forced a smile on her face " Okay. let's call it a day" She nodded at him and walked out of the recording room with her assistant trailing behind her." Sister Kexin. You sang pretty well today. Not bad" Her assistant said smiling brightly behind her.Zhou Kexin let out a little laugh " Alright Xiaoling. You don't have to make me feel better. I know I didn't perform well today" She said modestly. That was one of the attributes that made Xiaoling admire her boss." Sister Kexin, you are too modest" Xiaoling said as they walked out of Caomei Entertainment.* * * * " Mr. Li, President Zheng is not available. He is currently in a meeting " Liu Li said as Li Shang approached her office.
" You dropped this" A young man in a light pink hair extended his left hand that was holding an handkerchief towards Jiang Xiuying.Jiang Xiuying turned her neck to look at the person who was seating beside her that just talked. Her eyes flew open as she kept on staring at him without an intention to collect the handkerchief he stretched out to her.The man grinned widely and placed the handkerchief in Jiang Xiuying's hand then took his hand to his lips and made a zipping sign. " I know you must be surprised to see me on plane but don't post a picture or spread the news online" He told her lightly still smiling widely.Jiang Xiuying played with the handkerchief for a while and placed it on her laps. " Why should I take your picture or spread the news online?"" That's because.... Wait. What? You mean you don't know who I am? Ahhh....I get it now. You must be pretending right?" He spoke very swiftly staring at her as if she was an alien.&
After knocking twice on the door of the study and getting no reply, Jiang Xiuying paused her lips and looked downstairs holding the rail. She saw from afar that Midori was still seated where she left her. " I wonder if she would be able to pass the test" Jiang Xiuying rested on the rail and cupped her chin using her left hand. It's time for her to choose her fifth personal maid. It was a tradition for the females of Lu Family to have a different personal maid every year. Her first maid was already happily married and had just given birth to a son. She made sure to give all of her previous personal maid a happy ending. She had immediately liked Midori as she saw her sharp eyes that reveled the kind of person she was. She preferred people that doesn't look innocent at first glance than those ones that look like they are scared of wind caressing their skin. Thinking about it reminded her of her fourth personal maid that looked innocent but due to her efficiency, Jiang Xiuying had
Sunlight rays peered into the room where a sleeping beauty lay. Jiang Xiuying stirred a bit and lazily opened her eyes. She looked around the room and rested her eyes on a young handsome man seated far away from her reading a magazine." You are awake?" Lu Beichen asked closing the magazine and walking towards her. Jiang Xiuying nodded and weakly stood up with her eyes half opened. " Wash up and come down for breakfast " He instructed and left the room." What was that? " Jiang Xiuying murmured looking at the closed door of her room. She shook her head and yawned loudly without closing her mouth. " Aish....how long was I asleep? I feel so light" She fell back on her bed and rolled to the other side of her bed reaching for her phone. She turned on the screen but found it powered off." Aish... " Jiang Xiuying sat up on her bed scratching her head. Another loud yawn escaped through her mouth. She stretched her arm up feeling sore all over her body. " A warm bath w
Hmm....." Zheng Tianyi nodded thoughtfully. " I already did a background check on her but found nothing wrong. By the way, do you believe in fate? " He asked Li Shang the same question Jiang Xiuying asked him when he inquired about the reason why he and Yuxuan looked alike." What's that coming from your mouth. Haven't you always believe in coincidence why are you suddenly talking about faith?"" Never mind..... What brings you here at this time of the day. Are you that less busy that you need Grandfather Li to set you up on another blind date?"Li Shang moved away from Zheng Tianyi. " You are giving me chills. I only came to check up on you. I heard you haven't been taking your meds even after Yucheng made another one for you at the research facility "" I'm okay. I don't need to take the drugs since they won't even work. I keep on dreaming even after taking the pills. "" What?" Li Shang asked sounding alarmed. Zheng Tianyi nodded his
