3 1.1.3: Bewitching the Young Master

When she arrived home and saw her grandmother, immediately the old woman began to scold her for being so careless. Not only had she allowed the coffee to spill on her to this degree, but she hadn't even gone to the hospital yet!

Han Mi grabbed her arm and they both took a taxi to the hospital. When they arrived at the nearest hospital, Xiao Yunhua was quickly ushered by Han Mi to get her burn checked out.

As they waited for the doctor to appear, Xiao Yunhua noticed that a young man was being escorted by an elder man wearing a suit. He looked to be a butler of some sort and the young man... was Zhou Lang, the youngest of the four brothers!?

What a coincidence! This was a god-given moment and opportunity, so she would have been considered a fool if she didn't take it!

Using her enhanced sense of sound, she began to hear the conversation they were having.

The butler, whom she found out was named Qiang Luo, was telling the young master, Zhou Lang, not to be so careless.

"But you even bring me to such a low level hospital! Am I not a young master of the Zhou family?" Zhou Lang complained in annoyance.

Butler Luo sighed as he shook his head, "No, young master. You were injured and this was the closest hospital available! Please try not to worry your parents too much."

Zhou Lang humphed as he began muttering words of needing a private room. Butler Luo called for the nurse to bring the doctor quicker, but the nurse replied, "Sorry, our will be meeting a patient with a burn next."

Butler Luo tsked, "Is our young master's scraped arm not as important!? The Zhou family has the ability to shut down this hospital, you'd best watch what you say!"

The nurse paled as she nodded. Before she could leave, Zhou Lang stopped her and asked, "Where is that old man with a burn?"

The nurse wanted to laugh, but she stopped herself in time as she said, "The patient is a young woman that looks to be in high school. She is in the room right next to yours."

Zhou Lang smiled mischievously as he told the butler that he wanted to see how ugly this girl was, especially with a burn. Butler Luo could only want to facepalm at their young master's mischief as he nodded.

Xiao Yunhua realized that they were going to appear at any moment, so she lied on the bed with her eyes closed. She allowed her long hair to freely occupy the bed and used a small amount of points to release a mint scent from her body.

According to her internet stalking, the youngest master of the Zhou family had a tendency to love anything that smelled like mint. So if he saw her looking beautiful and smelling like his favorite thing, he would surely make sure to keep her around.

Han Mi saw her granddaughter closing her eyes to take a small nap and she could only smile in nostalgia. The little girl she had picked up had grown up and looked so beautiful. Not only that, she was exceptionally talented in academics and other school activities, she couldn't help but feel proud.

But on one of the rare times that she decided to have fun, she had suffered through such an ordeal. Han Mi could only sigh and curse badly accumulated karma. But her darling granddaughter was an angel, how could she have accumulated bad karma?

Han Mi turned her attention to the door when it started opening and her eyes expected to see the doctor. To her disbelief, it was a high school boy that was accompanied by an elder man behind him.

"Young man, what are you doing?" Han Mi asked patiently. To her surprise, the teenager was ignoring her as he gawked at her granddaughter. His eyes were wide as he walked closer and closer to her sleeping granddaughter.

"Stop!" Han Mi demanded as she stood from her chair, "What are you doing?" Before she could get near the young man, the elder man stood in front of him in a protective stance. His head was bowed as he apologized for the young man's actions.

When he raised his head, Butler Luo's eyes met with Han Mi in shock. Recognition filled both of their eyes as Han Mi gripped her clothes in anger. She hadn't expected to see this person! Or any person related to that family!

Did that mean that the teenager was a young master of that family? If that was the case, she didn't want her granddaughter anywhere near those bastards.

Before Butler Luo could speak, Han Mi pushed him away and pulled a startled and barely awake Xiao Yunhua away. She glared at Butler Luo and Zhou Lang in hostility and they both disappeared.

When the nurse asked them to wait for the doctor, Han Mi declined and they both left to go to another hospital. She didn't want them near her, nonetheless her precious granddaughter.

Meanwhile, Butler Luo was astonished. He didn't expect for that woman to still be alive, nonetheless living in this country. How was this possible? Zhou Elder must be informed at once! But telling him was offending Zhou Eldress... Butler Luo was beginning to get a headache.

Should he pretend that he didn't see anything? But that girl was the granddaughter of that woman, did that mean that she had another child to give birth to that granddaughter? This was a serious issue and Butler Luo decided to tell Zhou Elder. Offending the head of the Zhou family was worse than offending the matron.

Butler Luo glanced at Zhou Lang and noticed that he was absentmindedly staring off into space. For the first time, their mischievous young master was zoned out?

"Butler Luo, don't you think that girl was pretty?" He muttered with red ears. "She smelled like mints."

Butler Luo tsked as he shook his head, "Young master, you must get that girl out of your mind. She is not suitable nor can she ever be suitable."

Zhou Lang crossed his arms in annoyance as he flashed Butler Luo a glare, "Why?" His childish behavior was exactly why Butler Luo knew that he couldn't tell him. Their youngest master was so immature, if Butler Luo's assumption were correct and he told Zhou Lang, then only chaos would occur! The youngest master was definitely going to cause trouble for both sides and get on the wrong side of Zhou Eldress.

"Because your Zhou family restricts you. Remember who you are, Zhou Lang young master." Butler Luo could only use this excuse to reason with him. After all, he may be wrong. Hopefully he is, otherwise, an internal war is inevitable, especially since she has been discovered after so long.

Zhou Lang frowned as he turned around to leave, not even bothering to acknowledge Butler Luo. He was so angry because the old man was hindering him from pursuing the pretty girl that smelled like mints. Every other girl he met, they smelled like perfume or nothing at all. It was his first time to see someone smell like mints naturally without too much effort.

He continued to walk around mindlessly until he saw his prepared car and a Butler Luo waiting patiently for him to get inside. Zhou Lang realized that he had been thinking so much about the girl that he didn't even beat Butler Luo even though he left the room first! He humphed as he got into the car and began to dial his older brother, Zhou Feng.

When he picked up, Zhou Lang excitedly said, "Brother! I met a beauty today!"

Zhou Feng sighed in exasperation as he heard his younger brother ramble on about how pretty she was and how she smelled like mints and how it wasa fated meeting. When he couldn't help enduring more of his younger brother's nonsense, he interrupted, "Did you even speak with her?"

Zhou Lang muttered no and told him that he didn't even know her name. Other than her appearance with her eyes closed, he didn't know anything about her.

"But this Cinderella beauty, I will find!" Zhou Lang said fervently. Zhou Feng wanted to facepalm, but he could only fake-encourage his brother and wish him luck and end the call.

In reality, he knew that their country, no, their city, was too big to discover a person purely based on appearance. Zhou Feng also knew that his brother was only treating this as another cat and mouse chase and hunt.

If he found the girl, he would easily be bored of the game. If he didn't, he would mindlessly and endlessly search for her, which is exactly what he was starting to do.

But speaking of interesting girls, he had also met one today, hadn't he? Although he was still skeptical and doubtful, he couldn't deny that she was different than the other girls that he had met.

She was simplistic, yet beautiful, exactly his type. But after that one text he sent her, she hadn't replied. Zhou Feng was afraid that she would ignore him and block him, but she didn't. She just kept silent, which is a way of ignoring him, but at least she didn't completely make it to where he couldn't text her at all. But texting her again was against his ego and pride, especially when he had a reputation of being colder than ice.

Zhou Feng knew that if she was truly like other girls, she would make sure to text soon. If she didn't, then she would unknowingly pass a test, and he would pursue her even more.

But all he knew was that her name was Han Yunhua... Such a beautiful name suited for a beautiful girl, Zhou Feng couldn't help but acknowledge. Cloud Flower, a unique name as well. It suited her pure image and hopefully personality...

Xiao Yunhua could only gape as her grandmother impatiently dragged them away from the hospital in silent anger. Wasn't she wanting for her to be checked at the hospital? So why was she so angry at the appearance of Zhou Lang and Butler Luo? Did that mean that Han Mi had a past that she wasn't aware of? Was she connected to the Zhou family?

And speaking of Zhou Lang, it was such a shame that she couldn't introduce herself to him and make a connection with him! It was such a good opportunity, but unfortunately, wasted!

Now, she had to think of other ways of meeting Zhou Feng since Zhou Lang was going to be no help.

Suddenly, Xiao Yunhua felt some Pretty Points from two different sources fill up her dimensional space. She was confused and mentally asked Xiao Taotao, but the little fairy wouldn't answer her honestly.

Had she made a good impression on someone without knowing? Other than the two boys, she hadn't interacted with them much. And it shouldn't be them that were giving her the points, especially when she hadn't interacted with them enough for them to think about her too much.

But Xiao Yunhua hadn't known that she was wrong. Her behavior to the two teenage boys had left a deep impression that let them think about her enough to gain Pretty Points. They were also determined to pursue her, but not in the way that she wanted.

She needed love, not like. She also didn't want lust because it was only a waste of her time. The system demanded love, meaning that the other party would sacrifice anything to make her happy. Unfortunately, she hadn't gotten a target to that point yet, even though this is her first target.

But either way, she knew that she had to work hard and continue with her plan of manipulation. Because only then, would she be a goddess-like beauty and different enough to feel as good as her protagonists from her novels...
