220 Not Easy

When they returned to City S, everything was on its usual state. The next weekend came in no time.

Dmitri Zhou was awakened by a call on his mobile phone.

He sluggishly picked it up.

"Mighty!!!" shouted a girl from the other end.

Dmitri was irritated. "Meimei! What's with you this early?! It's the weekend for pity's sake!"

"Tri-ge, you and Manta-ge promised to come to the mall with me today!" the girl on the other line was sulking.

"Meimei, the mall will only open at 10AM! It's only 6AM! Call Manta-kun if you dare. I'm done talking to you!" he tapped to end the call.

Lu Meimei smiled. She loves to tease these guys. Today, she is planning to set them up with some girls.

She tapped to call another number.

"Hey Baby, good morning." a soothing male voice greeted when her line connected.

Lu Meimei blushed in an instant. She gulped, then cleared her throat.

"Goo-good morning, Monty. Are-are you up? Why...why are you up so early?" her voice was shy. There was no trace of the demanding girl who made the earlier phone call.

Montgomery Adams, or Monty for many, stretched his tall body and got up from his bed. His Caucasian-Asian mix is a never fair advantage against other guys.

He met the Young Mistress of Luxe Entertainment when he shoot an advertisement for a carbonated drink.

"Meimei, I'm up. Wanna go somewhere?"

"Uhm...Manta-ge and Tri-ge will take me to the mall later...but...but we can take the dogs for a walk."

"Sounds fun. I'll go over in 30."

.

Mantarou Xiu, now 21, cleared his throat as he stood before the couple with their dogs.

"Manta-ge!" Lu Meimei's mind was up in the clouds that she did not notice him closing in.

Monty Adams bolted and bowed. "Director Xiu."

"Monty, we're at the park...not in XCG." Mantarou chuckled. His smile and hazel eyes closely resemble his late mother's.

Lu Meimei looked around. "Is Tri-ge already here as well?" her voice had a tinge of preparing to be scold.

"Not yet. Go wash up if you still plan to take us to the mall." He turned towards the man with a dog on a leash. "Monty, I believe you are coming as well?"

"Uhm...Mei, let's go and prepare then." Monty got his year-old golden retriever up and jogged away to prepare.

Lu Meimei walked with Mantarou Xiu back to the Lu manor.

Technically, Meimei is not related by blood to Manta but she is his stepmother's niece so he treats her like a little sister.

Though he misses his own mother at times, Mantarou Xiu was lucky enough to grow up under his stepmother, Romina Ta.

Romina never treated him as somebody else's child. She had twin daughters with Masaichi and she oriented them of the only brother they have.

.

Back in the Lu residence, Dmitri who had just arrived was forced by the master of the house to have breakfast with him.

"Dmitri, you should eat more. Your dad can't keep boasting about himself for so long." Lu Shaoting guffawed.

"Erm...I already ate at home, Sir...but, please excuse my intrusion as I have some coffee with you."

"Not a problem. My sister's stepson...uhm, I mean your cousin...he came earlier to look for Meimei, too. You guys going somewhere?" Lu Shaoting took a bite from the marmalade laden toast.

Dmitri snickered. "We believe your daughter is trying to match us up with some people she recently knew. We just let her be as not to burst her bubble."

"Hah! It's troublesome to find someone worthy nowadays. Good thing my son is still on his way to learn ABCs."

"Tri-ge!" Lu Meimei was mortified. Her big brothers are ready and she was still playing with her samoyed. "Gi-give me thirty minutes!" she gestured the digits with her fingers then dashed upstairs to prepare.

"Director Xiu...would you join us for coffee?" Lu Shaoting feels that this young master has a lot of mystery in himself.

They talked about random things over coffee.

"Just a word of advice. If you guys can avoid marrying an actress, the better. It's not easy, I tell ya. I am a famous director, the entertainment company president, but she still prefers to shoot out of town than to have breakfast with me on weekends." he had a sad laugh.

Then as if he went overboard, Lu Shaoting added. "But if you fall in love with an actress, you should know that the great ones have a one true love, and that is their job. If you can live with that, then it's fine."

"Brothers! I'm ready now!" declared Lu Meimei, who just appeared at the doorway of the dining area.

They bid the older man goodbye and went out into the yard.

"Brothers, Monty will bring his SUV. You guys can leave your cars here to save us some parking space."

Just as she said so, a black Audi pulled up into the yard.

"Very well." Manta smiled.

Dmitri just shrugged his shoulders.

"I call gunshot!" Lu Meimei exclaimed then hurried to the passenger seat.
