"h.e.l.lo Uncle! How are you doing Aunty ?", Xi Chongkun and Li Jungah"s squabble was interrupted suddenly, as a woman walked inside the kitchen and hugged Li Jungah from behind.The instant they recognized the girl, the Xi elders" faces turned as pale as a sheet and they exchanged nervous glances among themselves.
The girl came from an indescribably n.o.ble background. Her reputation in the international business world was just next to Xi Yuan.
She answered to the name Huang Biu and hailed from the only Royal family in Country X. Although her ancestors had once been rulers to the south side of the nation, they had given away their lands to transform the country into a successful democracy, long ago. Now, the Huangs were one of the most established Business families in the entirety of the Asian continent, let alone Country X.
From the world of fas.h.i.+on to cybersecurity, almost every industry came under the reigns of the Huang Business Empire. Although they were no compet.i.tion to the Xi Family yet, they were still one of the best. And no matter how many years had pa.s.sed since their monarchy had come to an end, the Huangs were considered Royals in many cities and towns across the nation, even today.
Huang Biu was the eldest daughter of the family, mostly known for her intellect and talents. She was pretty cla.s.sy and confident as well. Not to mention, she had the personality of a model and a monk, at the same time. She was gorgeous. A perfect socialite lady, one could tell.
"When did you return back from England, Biu ?", Li Jungah cleared her throat as soon as she came out of her daze.
"Just yesterday.", smiled Huang Biu, gently, "I thought I could meet President Xi today. But I just got to know about the Mexico issue. I am so sorry to hear about that."
"Such a lovely girl.", Li Jungah patted the girl"s back lightly, "We shall definitely talk over dinner someday. That time, we will call the Huang elders too."
"Definitely , Auntie.", the woman nodded her head, "By the way, is someone special coming over today? Even the gardener outside seemed to be in a pleasant mood, so early in the morning."
"Actually...", before Li Jungah could explain anything to the girl, Luo Youyou walked in and pulled Huang Biu in a tight hug.
"What a surprise , Biu !", Luo Youyou laughed ,"Ying should be arriving soon. You girls can then chat for as long as you want. But till then , why don"t you enjoy some coffee with Auntie Youyou ?"
"Sure , Auntie.", Huang Biu agreed, "But who is visiting exactly? It is more of like a festival in here."
Luo Youyou smirked at Li Jungah as she held onto the girl"s both hands sympathetically, "Biu , "
"-client of Yuan"s is coming over. An important client.", Xi Chongkun cut in as he glared at the woman.
"Oh , I see. I shall head up to Autie Youyou"s room then.", Huang Biu"s cheeks flushed red just by the mention of the man"s name.
Li Jungah waited for the girl to disappear before she held onto Luo Youyou"s arms firmly, "What were you trying to do just now ?"
"I don"t believe we should keep her in the dark , Sister.", the woman shrugged her shoulders ,"She deserves to know the truth about Rong Xinghe."
"She will get to know about it anyway. Eventually, she will.", Xi Chongkun stated the matter-of-factly, "But it would be appreciated if there is no drama when Xinghe arrives here. Huang Biu likes that brat too much. And I won"t allow anyone to humiliate or slander Xinghe recklessly. Not in absence of Yuan. Do you get it ?"
"But-"
"We never received the chance to talk about your husband"s involvement with the "Werewolf Crew" , did we?", Li Jungah threatened, "You will keep your mouth shut if you don"t want that topic coming up. Okay?"
Luo Youyou gritted her teeth as she looked down at the ground and nodded her head unwillingly. Even though Xi Chongkun was not the CEO of the Xi Corps., he was still not someone she dared to mess with. Not now that Xi Chonglin"s connection with a shady underworld gang, was like a sword hanging over their heads.
She could only wait for Xi Yuan to make a final decision regarding the matter. However, the man had been avoiding the topic ever since it was revealed, months ago. And the worst part was, she couldn"t even push the man too much into it. It was a sensitive issue for Xi Yuan, after all. One blow to him and she knew she would lose her son, her Xi Fang, forever.

10:00 a.m., Xi Family Residence ;
A Black SUV stopped right in front of the main gate and Xi Wei got out of the car before he pulled open the pa.s.senger seat"s door, "Don"t be too anxious, Sister-in-law. You will be fine."
"Hopefully.", said Rong Xinghe, looking at the house observantly.
"Are you expecting me to show chivalry to you too ?", Xi Wei raised his brows at Xi Ying, who was still sitting in the driver"s seat, "Get over yourself already !"
"Dork !", the girl squinted her eyes at the man before she unlocked her side of the door.
At this time , Li Jungah and Xi Chongkun rushed outside the house, intending to welcome the girl in.
"Look at how thin you have become. Come on in !", Li Jungah frowned as she held onto the girl"s hands in hers, "I have cooked a lot of nutritious food for you. Come."
"Thank you, Mrs. Xi.", nodded Rong Xinghe as she followed behind the old couple.
"So how have you been? Doesn"t look like you have recovered completely since the migraine attack.", Li Jungah initiated the conversation as Xi Chongkun started preparing the tea for them.
"I am still following the course of medications, Mrs. Xi. But it won"t take me too long to get back into my element.", smiled the girl. She had specifically dressed into an off-shoulder wrap front mesh overlay Maroon dress today. Her light makeup and choice of clothing radiated an aura of sophistication and propriety. If Xi Chongkun and Li Jungah were to say that they weren"t impressed by the girl"s personality, it would be a lie.
"Mr. Xi doesn"t have to put in so much efforts. Really.", Rong Xinghe felt as if she was committing a sin when she looked at the old man brewing tea for her ,"At least , let me help you, Sir."
"Don"t be so formal , darling.", Li Jungah waved her hand, "He rarely does any household work. Let him do this much."
"Could you show a little respect to your own husband , Mrs. Xi ?", Xi Chongkun sighed.
"Of course.", Li Jungah said before she turned to hold Rong Xinghe"s hands, a smile spreading across the lady"s lips, "But don"t worry. Yuan is not like that. He will take care of you. Always. I can see that in his eyes, whenever he talks about you."
