Wei Hongyi stood inside the restaurant as he glares at Yue Ling and Zhao Ya"Er"s figures standing outside.
His expression was fuming with rage. Never in his entire life has anyone dare to call him a b.i.t.c.h.
He is the heir to his family"s business, Industrial Group. Yet, Yue Ling had the audacity to call him such foul word.
Not only that, the other day his father had lectured him until his ears bled because Lu Tian suddenly stopped all business with them.
His face scrunch more with eyes glaring daggers on Zhao Ya"Er"s figure. She must have cried to Lu Tian and told him (Lu Tian) that he has been abusing her.
Glancing to Yue Ling, he thought about how she stopped the gla.s.s cup from hitting Zhao Ya"Er. His face turned red in more anger and he takes a step forward to charge after the two women.
"Mr. Wei!"
Just as he took forward, his secretary grabs his arm and stops him. She knows that he is angry, but from what she heard from her friends, Yue Ling is the granddaughter of General Ji.
If Wei Hongyi attempts to harm her, who knows what kind of wrath the old man would unleash upon the Wei family.
Thinking this, her lip arcs up in a seductive smile that can make any man"s heart flutter.
"She is not worth your attention."
Moving to stand in front of him, she puts on a dainty look with puppy eyes to get his attention.
"Let"s enjoy our lunch then go to a hotel. Hm?"
Hearing her words that sounded like music to his ears, Wei Hongyi"s face returned to usual color as he slowly calms down.
He scoffs in the direction of Yue Ling and Zhao Ya"Er, then place his arm over his secretary"s shoulder.
"Hmmf, you"re right. Compare to you, those two are nothing. You always know how to please me best."
As the two people head for their table, the secretary sounds a giggle as she had won the man over.
She has been his secretary for 4 years now and knows all about his relations.h.i.+p with Zhao Ya"Er. Even she herself pities the woman for not knowing how to please Wei Hongyi, which leads to her (Zhao Ya"Er) getting abused.
If she can make him hers, she will please him in any way.
Oblivious to his secretary"s thoughts, Wei Hongyi swore inside. Later, he will find Zhao Ya"Er and give her a good lesson. How dare she humiliate him in public knowing what the outcome is.
Standing outside the restaurant, Yue Ling and Zhao Ya"Er waited as the valet worker left to retrieve Yue Ling"s car.
Zhao Ya"Er stood in silence as she thought back to what just happened.
Ever since the incident at Spring, Wei Hongyi has been hara.s.sing her more than before.
Just the other day he had came to her place uninvited. He was drunk and made a mess out of her home.
Fed up and not wanting to have anything to do with him, she decided to seek her cousin for help. If anyone can scare Wei Hongyi, it"s Lu Tian.
However, when she came face to face with her cousin, she couldn"t bring up the topic.
She was afraid.
Not because of Wei Hongyi, but she was afraid of how Lu Tian would react.
Will he see her, his cousin as a weak woman even when he is a strong and ruthless person?
She couldn"t tell him as she didn"t want him and her family to be disappointed in her.
Coming back to her senses, she turn her head to look at Yue Ling. All her friends who have witnessed her get beat up by Wei Hongyi never do anything.
It broke her heart even more when she found out that the b.a.s.t.a.r.d had been sleeping with a few of those so-called friends of hers.
However, Yue Ling, who could have turned a blind eye like everyone else did not. She stood up for her like a true friend.
Her eyes turned moist, but she force her tears back from falling.
"Yue-yue, I"m sorry you had to be a part of what happened. My chauffer is waiting for me down the street, so once your car is here, I"ll leave."
Turning to look at her friend, Yue Ling smiles to her. Zhao Ya"Er must be worry that Wei Hongyi might come after her if she was alone.
Thinking about something, she comes up with an idea.
"How about we go do some shopping? I want to buy Tian a gift."
Since their lunch date was ruined, they can grab something light to eat while shopping.
Zhao Ya"Er was taken back by surprise at the sudden suggestion. However, happy that she can still hang out with Yue Ling, she did not hesitate to agree.
It"s not every day that she gets to meet such a wonderful person like Yue Ling.
Quickly as the two women came to an agreement to go shopping, the valet worker returns with Yue Ling"s car.
When the worker parked the car in front of them, Zhao Ya"Er"s jaw dropped to the ground. Even her eyes fell out of their sockets as she could not believe what she was seeing.
She opened and closed her mouth a few times before stuttering out her words.
"T-This…. This is your car?"
Parked in front of the restaurant was a white Audi r8. Its windows were tinted black so others cannot see inside as the rims were coated in the same shade.
Yue Ling glance at the woman then to the car. She couldn"t grasp why Zhao Ya"Er would look so stunned.
Shouldn"t Zhao Ya"Er be used to seeing this kind of car since Lu Tian has a collection of his own?
As she thought this, the valet worker hands her the key and smiles to her. The look on his face was one full of happiness and blessing as he was given the opportunity to drive such a magnificent car.
Not giving it much thought, she slight shrug her shoulder and walks to the driver side.
Realizing that Zhao Ya"Er was still in a daze, she turns back to the woman and chuckles.
"Shall we go?"
Her question brought Zhao Ya"Er back from her daze. She nods her head and proceed towards the pa.s.senger seat.
As the two women enter the car and drives away from the restaurant, two men standing not too far also enter their car.
Yue Ling kept her eyes on the road as she drives the car in the direction to the closest shopping mall.
Sitting next to her, Zhao Ya"Er was lost in another daze. Her eyes stares in amazement at the details of the car"s interior.
It should have been a normal thing for someone like her to see such a car since Lu Tian has many. However, one should know that she has never sat inside any of his car.
After a few minute pa.s.ses by, she was finally done admiring the car. However her brows slightly furrow.
Although she had been distracted, she still paid attention to her surroundings.
Ever since they left the restaurant, it looked like Yue Ling had been driving in a circle.
She looks out the window only to see a building they had already pa.s.sed a while ago. Confused, she turns to Yue Ling.
"The turn for the closest shopping mall was back there."
Seated in the driver seat, Yue Ling does not take her eyes off the road. Seeing that the light up ahead had turned red, she slows the car to a stop.
"I"m going to tell you something, but you have to remain calm."
Hearing these sudden words, anyone would be scared and that is exactly how Zhao Ya"Er felt. However, she swallows a hard gulp and tries to keep her cool.
"I"ll remain calm. What is it?"
Yue Ling"s temperament was her usual calmness. Glancing away from the red light, she kept one hand on the steering wheel as the other press a b.u.t.ton on the dash screen.
"We"re being followed."
Hearing those heart stopping words, Zhao Ya"Er"s face turned as white as a sheet of paper. Her eyes shook and she looks in every direction trying to see who was following them.
"Oh G.o.d… Oh G.o.d… Who… Where are they?"
Panic quickly rush inside her as the only person who had followed her was Wei Hongyi. However, his kind of following was different from their situation now.
Yue Ling"s finger continues to type on the dash screen and her voice sounds.
"Two cars behind us."
