Chapter 06

At Empire Hotel,

where the banquet is being held,

"Welcome" Matt welcomed everyone in as he stood by the entrance

He was only anticipating Meimei's arrival and little of Mira the troublemaker

"Good evening Matt" Qiao Wanwan greeted Matt as she arrived holding hands with yeqian

"Hmm" Matt replied coldly welcoming others

Wan Wan was annoyed by his response but she decided to ignore him the same goes for Jiang yeqian who felt his ego trampled upon

The two walked in elegantly going about socializing.

After waiting for a few minutes, Ling Mei, whom Matt was waiting for finally arrived

Meimei was walking towards him slowly. She was wearing a v-neck ivory white dress with an irregular fringed earring on one side, and her curly pitch-black hair hung down to her waist, soft and fluffy.

Her face was exquisite, with light makeup up no one could deny that she was gorgeous

"Matt" she greeted with a smile

"You're here, what took you so long and where is she?" Matt asked

"Mira! Took me so long, and she's still walking slowly" she sighed

"It's not hard to guess, anyways you're beautiful" he complimented

"Thank you"

"Wow! Who's that?"

"She looks so gorgeous"

"She is walking alongside Matt Johnson"

"Could she be her girlfriend"

Various murmurs filled the hall as she entered

At the same time in the hall, someone's face constricted

"Ling! Mei! You're back Huh?" Wanwan gritted her teeth in anger.

Ling mei glance at the corner where qiao wan was standing, their eyes met and Ling Mei's lips curled up,

"I'll get my revenge" meimei mouthed and qiao wan shuddered at her murderous gaze

Whether it was her past life or the current one, Ling Mei was sure of one thing, she'd get her revenge on Wan wan no matter what.

She walked forward and started to socialize with the help of Matt.

"Good evening Mrs Johnson, I wish you long life and prosperity" Ling Mei said as she handed over her gift

"Thanks meimei, you don't have to be polite" Mrs Johnson said with a sincere smile

"You're welcome" meimei said cutly before proceeding to take a seat

Mira on the other hand had mixed with the crowd in the hope of finding someone to get fresh with.

Though I knew she was that open minded, her expression while saying it made her lips twitch

"Don't tell me you're only drinking water?" Mira's mischievous voice sounded behind me

"What's wrong with that?" Meimei raised her brows

"This is a party girl, you have to drink" Mira said with a 'this is a matter of fact' look

Ling mei shook her head and said "drinking when I have an enemy lurking around huh? What a good advice"

Hearing that, Mira turned around and caught a glimpse of wanwan.

"Ohh got It" she nodded sitting beside her

Over at qiao wanwan's side she was burning in anger and anxiety.

"Why is your hand so cold" yeqian's voice and touch startled her that she trembled

"You scare me" she said with a smile getting her act together

"You were lost in thought what if it was someone else" yeqian said finding her reaction strange

"Luckily it was you" she said

"What were you looking at?" Yeqian asked looking at the direction she was staring at before and his gaze landed on a familiar figure and he was shocked.

When Ling mei entered previously he wasn't in, so he obviously wasn't aware what commotion her appearance caused.

"Isn't that..."

"Yes I feel like, she's the one" wanwan said not pretending not to be sure

"She came back?" Yeqian asked, looking at Ling Mei's direction in lust and longing.

Qiao wan who was standing beside him obviously saw it and gritted her teeth in anger

It took her great length to seduce Jiang yeqian then convince him about meimei by saying bad about her and successfully chasing her away then

Now she's back there's no way she'd allow her to get his attention again.

She has to do something

"Who's back?" Wen Lin's voice was heard and they both turned back

Wen Lin was together with her husband Mr Ling, Mei's father

"Mom" she called in surprise

"When did you arrive?"

"Few minutes ago" wen Lin responded

Mr Ling, who was looking round the party, caught the glimpse of Ling Mei who deliberately chose to sit at a place very obvious for people to see her.

Qiao wan on the other hand hearing wen Lin's reply she was delighted

'At least no one saw her enter'

"Isn't that meimei?" Mr Ling who had been silence since arrival said pointing at the direction

"Mei Mei?" Wen Lin turned to look and was stunned no matter had happened then ling mei was her child so she felt sour looking at her from a distance

"She's back?" Wen Lin said with a complicated look

No matter how it was then they had indeed done bad, just to force her out they chose to adopt her best friend in her absence and even made her heir to their corporation

It was an act a lot of their friends disdained even if no one pointed it out

"Let's go meet her?" Mr Ling said

.....

"Hmm how funny" Mira said sipping her alcohol

"What's funny"

"They've been looking over since but haven't come over" she said

"They will at least, wanwan would push them to come" meimei smiled

"I really pity this qiao wan" Mira chuckled looking at the smiling meimei.

To qiao wan she wanted to scheme against her but meimei has several plans in stock for her

"Look they are coming" meimei smirked her eyes cold as ice

"Let's get busy and ignore them " Mira tapped her

.......

GU mohan, who had been parked outside since Ling Mei's arrival was still checking his looks

"Are you sure I look good enough?" Gu mohan asked

"Yes sir?" Lucas was responding to GU mohan who had ask this questions more than ten times

"Good, how many minutes had it been since she entered?" He asked

" more than thirty minutes"

"Good, let's go" he ordered and Lucas, who was tailing behind, didn't know whether to laugh or cry at president Gu's childish behavior.

Because of Ling mei, he had arrived at the event earlier than usual

He watched ling mei arrived yet he didn't get down

He clenched his hands as he watched her interact with Matt yet he still didn't get down

Who knew that all he had been doing was to arrive late just to catch ling mei's attention

Immediately Gu mohan entered the banquet hall he caused a commotion.

The ling family and wanwan approaching ling mei had to stop even ling mei who had no interest in the party but came for wanwan turned to look

Endless chatters began

"Whoa is that president Gu?"

"Didn't know i will be lucky to see him in my entire life"

"He look more handsome than rumors says"

"But he usually doesn't attend banquets and sends representatives"

"Why is he here?"

Many people were excited yet terrified of seeing him

Having heard various rumors of his ruthlessness they became cautious.

The once noisy party was now quiet as everyone was trying to impress him.

Qiao wan who was walking towards meimei was stunned.

'This was the man of her dreams and the one suited for her' she thought

If not that he was unattainable she would have given it a try.

But seeing him here she was more confident.

Since she had once destroyed meimei's reputation before she could do it again.

Approaching him should be the first step wanawan said to herself.
