As Li Xiuying made her way back to her car she thought about the adjustments she had to make to her plan again. She had hoped that she could do an extensive background search on Chong Honghui and his father tonight and make her move. She slid into the driver"s seat and tapped the steering wheel "Hmm perhaps this its better for him to anxiously wait for a little while or he may connect me with Daiyu. Besides I"ll have to destroy his career and ruin his reputation now as well."Li Xiuying retrieved her phone from her pocket and posted a message into her group. [Reservation for 8 pm- The Enchanted]
[Daiyu: WHAT?! The Enchanted?! How did you manage that? Don"t you have to book a year in advanced?]
[Changying: Oh great master please tell this lowly disciple which super power you used?]
[Xiuying: Called in a favor]
[Changying: From who?]
[Xiuying: "We appear to be experiencing a network error and your message was not able to be delivered at this time. Please try again later.]
[Changying: Please master don"t leave your little disciple in the dark, share your immortal skills with us]
[Daiyu: LOL!]
[Xiuying: My cousins and her friends will also be there.]
[Daiyu: The cousin who stole your fiancé?!]
[Xiuying: Indeed]
[Changying: The little white lotus who was in that new article?]
[Xiuying: Yep]
[Daiyu: Will you be okay seeing her again? We don"t have to go there, we can go somewhere else?]
[Changying: Let"s teach her a lesson, we can make her death look like accidents]
[Xiuying: I deliberately arranged to have dinner at the same time as them. There should be a good show to watch.]
[Daiyu: Are you sure?]
[Xiuying: I"m fine, in fact I"m looking forward to it]
[Daiyu: In that case... Pitchforks at the ready!]
[Changying: Prepare for battle ladies!]
They spent the next 20 minutes discussing where to meet and what to wear. Li Xiuying then finally started her engine and made her way back home. She smirked as she thought about Li Yu Yan and Li Na being blacklisted from the restaurant.
....
Qilin was currently reclining in his leather chair as he waited for his call to connect.
Male: "h.e.l.lo"
Qilin: "Death"s escape has separated from the Li family. She will be reclaiming favors she is owed personally; if she so wishes to reclaim them."
Male: "Interesting, I"ll pa.s.s it on." They both ended the call.
After Qilin finished his last call he stood up and left his office. He had arranged for someone to get information about what had happened between the Li family and Li Xiuying.
He looked at his reflection in the elevator mirror and brushed his fingers against his jaw and turned his head side to side. "I"ll have to get a shave and maybe a shape up as well." He was excited to see tonight"s entertainment.
Qilin walked out of the elevator pondering whether he should call a friend to join him tonight: "I"ll change it to a table for 5."

6:00 pm Apartment 5
Ren Daiyu was laying on her side with her head propped on her hand as she watched Li Xiuying add the finis.h.i.+ng touched to Yao Changying"s makeup.
Ren Daiyu was already dressed in her "battle armor" for tonight. Li Xiuying had done Ren Daiyu"s makeup first; it was a natural look that made her skin look iridescent. Her hair was straightened and she had a center parting. Ren Daiyu had chosen to wear a nude skater dress paired with dusky pink strappy stiletto"s, the straps where all of a floral design and wrapped around her delicate ankle.
Ren Daiyu: "Longwei Ge, was dying of envy when I told him where I was going tonight"
Li Xiuying: "The food and decor are amazing."
Ren Daiyu asked curiously: "When did you go there?"
Li Xiuying: "This afternoon."
Yao Changying: "So who did you reclaim the favor? Do you know the manager or the owner? Who are they?"
Ren Daiyu sat up: "No one knows the true owner, Li Xiuying is no exception right?"
Li Xiuying remained quiet.
Yao Changying"s eyes glowed : "Who is it?"
Li Xiuying: "Shhh, I"m trying to concentrate." She used her gloved hand to tip Yao Changying head back a little, a.s.sessing her handiwork. She then let go and turned Yao Changying around to face the vanity mirror.
Yao Changying"s eyes jaw dropped. "That"s me." She touched her reflection. "d.a.m.n I look hot." She had sultry rocker eyes, fake eyelashes and a lip gloss which matched her natural tone. Her hair was done in a s.e.xy messy waves.
Yao Changying spun the chair to face Li Xiuying: "YingYing! Who"s the..."
Ren Daiyu also sat on the edge of the bed inching closer to Li Xiuying.
Li Xiuying: "Go put on your dress" She ushered Yao Changying into the bathroom before sitting in the make up chair and doing her own makeup.
Some time later Li Xiuying had finished her make up and looked into the mirror. She turned her face from left to right a.s.sessing her look. She had chosen a nude lipstick with a bronze/gold eye shadow. Her hair was in large waves that framed her face. She couldn"t do much else with it because it was still growing out and looked untidy.
Yao Changying walked out of the en-suite dressed in a plum hi-low dress, which crisscrossed at the back. She wore chunky black heels and held a black sparkly clutch to complete her ensemble.
Li Xiuying then stepped in.
Daiyu: "You look gorgeous."
Yao Changying:"You are practically glowing, I want to say angelic but since we"re out for blood tonight I don"t think its appropriate."
Moments later Li Xiuying stepped out in a forest green lace dress it had thin straps and reached just below here knees. She also wore lace green gloves that reached her wrists and matched her dress that perfectly. Her heels where a tarnished copper color and had a white ta.s.sel in the middle. in her hand was a clutch with a pixie print which made her outfit look playful.
Yao Changying: "Well don"t you look mystical"
Li Xiuying smiled.
Li Xiuying checked her phone for the time 6:50 pm, it would take them a little over an hour to get to the restaurant.
Li Xiuying: "Come on Alpaca, Honey bee. The night is young and trouble awaits."
Yao Changying and Daiyu followed Li Xiuying out.
Daiyu whined: "Do I have to be Honey bee? Can"t I have a different code name?" She still remembered she got this name because of her supposed release of pheromones in the air.
Yao Changying: "b.u.mble Bee?"
Daiyu: "No bees!"
Li Xiuying: "Goldfish?"
Daiyu scrunched her face in confusion: "Goldfish?"
Yao Changying: "Elephant?"
Li Xiuying: "Salamander?"
Daiyu: "Salamander sounds powerful. Why did you suggest it though?"
Li Xiuying and Yao Changying looked at each other before saying: "Pheromones" They burst out laughing.
Daiyu muttered "I"ll pheromone you."
Li Xiuying unlocked her car and hey all slid into their seats.

Li Yu Yan"s Car Journey
Li Yu Yan and Li Na were excited chatting away about all the things they had heard about The Enchanted and the thing"s they wanted to eat.
Li Yu Yan turned to the driver: "Thank you Gege for arranging tonight."
Li Na followed suit: "Yeah! Thank you brother-in-law for arranging tonight."
Chen Wei: "Anything for you." He glanced at Li Yu Yan with affection before turning back to face the road. For weeks he had constantly thought about his situation with Li Xiuying and that was when he came to the realization that he could have his cake and eat it too.
He would force Li Xiuying to see reason and make her come crawling back to him and to Emerald hospital. Additionally, he would marry Li Yu Yan since it was already announced publicly; that was the only way to prevent too much damage to his reputation. In the beginning he was very unhappy with the situation but ever since that news article Li Yu Yan had changed for the better. She was hardly ever demanding, thoughtful and always tried to be accommodating. Furthermore, she had been accepted into the best medical school in the country.
Li Yu Yan spoke sweetly: "I"m really looking forward to tonight. I want to enjoy my free time as much as possible before I start med school."
Chen Wei teased: "I hope you can spare some time for me?"
Li Yu Yan giggled and gently patted Chen Wei"s: "I"ll think about it." Internally she felt disgusted even looking at Chen Wei. "Why would I need to waste my precious with you?"
Li Na checked her phone: "I"ve just received a message from Mo Chou, the others are making their way now as well they should be there by 7:50 pm."
Chen Wei: "We should arrive around about the same time."
Li Na couldn"t contain her excitement: "Tonight is going to be so much fun!"
