CHAPTER 509

Left with no other choice, she unlocked her phone and placed a call over to Li Xiu.

Ring! Ring!

It went on and n ringing but she did not pick up. By now Bai Qing Mei was looking more worried than anything. She needed news, wanted an update.

She could not miss this chance to humiliate her. What if she did not come out for another function again?

SIGH!

After thinking for some time, she decided to cal Hao Huizhong. "Hello. Huizhong."

"Hey, babe."

"Any leads yet on her?"

"Umm, no. I still haven't seen her. You? Wait your calling means you got nothing too."

"Exactly. This is why I like to be in charge of my operations myself. At least I would know who to call."

"Do not forget the real reason why we brought Li Xiu into this matter in the first place. It was to ensure that if anything went wrong and even if it went right and they want to take their revenge, it wouldn't be on us but on her. We would walk out of it majestically."

"I understand but it is still annoying that we have Li Jing on a platter of gold and yet nothing. I mean she even exposed herself some more by looking exceptional at the party. It would make the scandal one that would blow minds up."

"I know. So calm down and let us look…" he paused, stopping midway in his sentence which caused Bai Qing Mei to worry.

"Hello, Huizhong. What is the matter? Huizhong."

"Guess what?"

"What? Do not stop in the middle of a sentence like that. You are only making me worry."

"I am sorry about that but guess."

'Bloody hell Huizhong, I cannot guess, just spill."

"Fine. I just saw Li Xiu. She is talking with a guy."

"That bitch." Her veins were already popping out at the side of her head. "Where is she? Wait do not tell me you are just standing there rather than going t meet her and do the needful," she said through gritted teeth.

"Yeah, already on my way," he lied and took to his heels, hurrying after Li Xiu.

"I'll call you back. I am at the back of the hotel, towards the garden."

"Fine, I would meet you there in three."

"Yeah." He ended the call, adjusted his suit, took in a deep breath before walking majestically to where she was laughing loudly with the stranger.

She rested her back against one of the small fences surrounding a beautiful flower and waterfall in the middle, while he stood in front of her, enjoying the sound of her laughter and being lost in her eyes.

Everywhere felt cool at that moment and even magical from the lovely lamps that surrounded the place. Indeed she picked the perfect spot to get the young stranger enthralled in her beauty.

Reaching up with her left hand, Li Xiu tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear while smiling shyly at him.

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat, his hand holding and adjusting his tie.

As if on cue, Li Xiu stopped laughing as both of them turned around to see who was interrupting their wonderful time.

An evident frown appeared on her face when she saw who it was. On the other hand, the guy too lost his smile seeing that the rude one was a dashing handsome stranger.

He felt he had come to contest with him with Li Xiu and decided to put up a front.

"Li Xiu."

"What?"

"What is what?" Hao Huizhing asked.

"Do you know him?" the young man asked, now looking confused.

"Can't you see I am busy?" She signalled at Hao Huizhong but he was not getting it at all.

"And what do I care about your fling. Come, it is important."

"Hey, the lady said she was busy," the young man stepped in before Hao Huizhong's hand could touch Li Xiu.

She could have handled the situation all by herself and did not need any butting in from anyone. Regardless, her new boy toy thought he could man up and face the intruder.

What a waste of time and energy.

"Hey, dude back off. This is between me and her."

"And what if I say I won't?" He challenged.

"Then you would be making a very huge mistake I tell you, my friend."

"Bring it on. And for your information, I am not friends with a woman rough-handler like you."

"Why you…"

"Hey stop it you too."

"But babe, he is…"

"I never asked for a saving. I can handle myself," she snapped at the young man. He was beginning to feel full of himself.

"But I…" novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

"The lady said she could handle herself." It was Hao Huizhong's turn to show who mattered most now.

"You said you liked me and we clicked at first sight."

"Maybe we did but now, not anymore. I am not after him, we just have some unfinished business and your overprotective nature, is pissing me off. I need to settle this."

Eyeing Hao Huizhong, she bumped his arms and walked past him, leaving the two guys behind her.

Taking the cue, he followed after her, with a triumphant smile on his face.

By the time they got far enough from the guy and were sure he wasn't following them, Li Xiu turned on her heels and was ready to rain all hell down on Hao Huizhong.

"What was the meaning of that rubbish?"

"I don't know, you tell me." She turned around, mouth open and hands on her hips. "You bloody well know what we have planned for today, how could you forget that and go about seducing a young guy?"

"Would you have preferred that I seduced you?" She asked turning to face him.

"Where's that coming from?"

"I don't know, you tell me," she mimicked after him.

He took in a deep breath and shook his head.

"Li Xiu, this is of utmost importance, might I remind you."

"Says who I didn't know? What did you think I was doing? Flirting with him because my pussy was hungry?"
