Chapter 9 - Yao Meixiang’s Identity

"Why are you accepting it?" Yao Meixiang asked angrily. "You weren't even paying attention to the conversation before."

Lee Tao snickered at her reaction.

"It's because of your snotty attitude that I decided to piss you off." He added.

Meanwhile, Yao Meixiang had her veins popping out of her forehead as she realized one thing.

"You are even more shameless than I thought." She scoffed at Lee Tao.

"Thank you for the compliment." Lee Tao thanked her.

Yao Meixiang was rendered speechless as she ordered the waiter standing nearby to come over.

"Waiter, I want to order my dishes." Yao Meixiang said as she began picking the dishes on the menu.

"Oh remember, to get that seafood dish for me." Lee Tao said when Yao Meixiang began ordering.

Yao Meixiang glared angrily at Lee Tao. "What do you take me for?"

Despite her fierce glare though, Yao Meixiang told the waiter to get the seafood dish as well. "That's all for now, you can leave."

The waiter nodded his head as he told Yao Meixiang that the food should arrive sometime later around 10-15 minutes.

While the waiter went to the kitchen to relay the order, Jia Qiu started talking about the details of their expedition.

"Lee Tao, since you have decided to join us, can you begin introducing yourself a little bit?" Jia Qiu asked him in curiosity.

"I would begin first so that you don't feel any discomfort." Jia Qiu added as she began introducing herself formally instead of her name alone.

"As you probably know from my name already. I'm from the Jia Clan and the daughter of the current patriarch. There are many other people eyeing my position since my father only had me as a child."

"The same goes for me as well." Meng Xue said after Jia Qiu's introduction. "My Meng Clan and Jia Clan are in a friendly relationship so we are childhood friends."

When Meng Xue and Jia Qiu finished their introduction, they then glanced at Yao Meixiang in amusement.

Yao Meixiang glared at her two senior sisters as she knew what kind of ploy they're trying to do.

"Come on, Yao Meixiang. It's time to come clean." Meng Xue giggled as she urged her to speak up.

Meanwhile, Lee Tao became intrigued for a brief moment as he wondered about Yao Meixiang's identity.

'I have been wondering for some time now but her name is really familiar, almost like I have heard it somewhere before.' Lee Tao wondered silently as to who Yao Meixiang truly was.

Yao Meixiang showed a complicated expression as her gaze directed at Lee Tao.

"Isn't it all your fault to begin with?" Yao Meixiang gritted her teeth as she glared angrily at Lee Tao.

Lee Tao held a dumbfounded expression as he really couldn't understand her.

"Why are you always targeting me?" Lee Tao asked as he twitched his brows.

"I never even met you until today so why does it seem like you want to kill me every time you see me?"

Yao Meixiang's anger rose further when Lee Tao still didn't know who she was.

"You- do you really not recall the name, Yao Meixiang?" Yao Meixiang asked. Her face was flushed red in anger.

Lee Tao shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know what you are trying to say so please get to the point already."

At this time, even Meng Xue and Jia Qiu knew that Yao Meixiang wouldn't be able to hold back any longer.

They then quickly stood up and placed their hands on Yao Meixiang's shoulders to calm her down.

"Yao Meixiang, it really doesn't seem like Lee Tao knows who you are. Calm your anger for now." Jia Qiu said. "We had come over here to check if he was really ignorant or not. But after our conversation, I can tell he really doesn't know so you can stop acting now, Yao Meixiang."

"Un, we'll make sure that Lee Tao understands his mistake." Meng Xue added.

'What the hell is going on with these crazy women?' Lee Tao wondered if he should have just left from the beginning.

He was here to dine yet these women had to barge toward him.

"Lee Tao, do you not know the relationship of your Lee Clan with the Yao Clan?" Jia Qiu turned around and looked at Lee Tao as she asked him.

Lee Tao raised an eyebrow. "Why would I know about the relationship between them? I don't even care about the Lee Clan."

Jia Qiu sighed softly at the response of Lee Tao, as she then patted Yao Meixiang's shoulders.

"The rumors weren't false about Lee Tao's attitude toward his own clan. Yao Meixiang, you shouldn't blame him for not knowing who you are." Jia Qiu said.

"Agreed, look at his confused expression. Truly hopeless and no wonder why you are always so angry nowadays." Meng Xue added as she shook her head when she glanced at Lee Tao.

"Can someone explain what's going on here?" Lee Tao couldn't handle the stares from them any longer as he asked.

Their stares were dreadful, almost like they were pitying him when he didn't need any of that.

'I'm an Immortal despite being reincarnated here. I have no need for any of your pitiful stares.' Lee Tao exclaimed inwardly.

After Meng Xue finished pacifying Yao Meixiang's emotion, Yao Meixiang then stared at Lee Tao with teary eyes.

"I can't believe this- I really cannot believe this." Yao Meixiang complained as she felt like crying.

"Why did my parents arrange for me to marry a person like you? A person who doesn't even care about his own status and disregards everyone around him." She added.

Lee Tao was dumbfounded by Yao Meixiang's words as he finally recalled why he found her name familiar in the first place.

"You were the person that my mother and father decided to marry me off on a whim?" Lee Tao said as he started laughing.

No wonder why he was being targeted left and right by Yao Meixiang.

After all, he never acknowledged the arranged marriage nor cared about the person he was supposed to marry.

While Lee Tao started laughing at the revelation of Yao Meixiang's identity, Yao Meixiang felt like beating the crap out of him.
