Chapter 77 - Is That True, Mr. Li Rong?

----With Yue Wan-----

On entering Yue Wan's room, the twins noted each and everything that they saw. As they carefully guided Yue Wan inside towards her bed, a black kitten suddenly appeared, jumping down from the bed with a miaow.

Yue Wan scooped up Little Bao in one hand, and introduced him to the twins: "Ming, Rui, meet my Little Bao."

Shen Ming usually loved pets, so he gently introduced himself to Little Bao. Little Bao took an immediate liking to him, and they bonded together as friends very quickly.

As for Shen Rui, he scanned the little fellow for more than a minute, taking everything in. He quickly noticed Little Bao's golden eyes, and he asked in astonishment, "Sister-Wan, why he has your eyes?"

With a touch of a smile, Yue Wan caressed Little Bao's fur. Little Bao cocked his head and looked captivatingly at Shen Ming.

"That's because he is my baby. Isn't he so adorable?"

Shen Ming nodded his head and beamed gleefully with a one dimple smile. Shen Rui, however, had a different thought in his head. He also smiles and muttered to himself: "If he is my wife's son, then I'll be his daddy."

Shen Ming caught his twins' muttering and signaled to him. "Looks like we need to protect one more member."

Little Bao was startled: 'What?!?"

Shen Rui touched Little Bao's head and replied to his brother, "That won't be a problem."

Yue Wan found their conversation weird but didn't let it bother her.

After careful consideration, Shen Rui decided to accompany his mother and teach the two uninvited guests downstairs (Li Rong and Wei Wan) a lesson.

That decided, the twins left Yue Wan with some lame excuse, but not before going to Little Bao and saying: "Son, make sure to protect your mother. We will win this war." They rustled his fur lovingly.

Little Bao stretched his body a little and yawned, 'There are too many flies around mommy.'

-----Outside the Gate In Li's car-----

Sitting in the car, Li Rong and Wei Wan waited near the Yue mansion for over two hours. At first, they had planned to intercept Yue Wan's car, as it was returning from the hospital, but they missed that opportunity, so all they could do was wait for Yue Xiang's departure. Luckily for them, Yue Yeager left the mansion shortly after.

Since Yue Xiang was already gone, and Yue Wan would be all alone one the house, Lu Rong and Wei Wan thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to convince Yue Wan to give up on the exam. And get some additional information from her about Yue Xiang's latest project.

Still in the car, Wei Wan stared down at the security guards with exacerbation. "They are definitely making things hard for us."

Li Rong's forehead wrinkled in consternation. "Our spies were discovered and kicked out after Lu's blunder. Now we need to come up with a plan to get someone else close to Yue Wan to be our eyes and ears."

Wei Wan bit her lip as she thought about what they could do: "Couldn't we ask the Elder for help?"

Li Rong shut his eyes as he leaned comfortably against his seat. "Only my grandfather can negotiate with them. I have no way of approaching them to ask for anything."

Li Rong's grandfather detested Wei, and it would be a disaster if he found out that she tagged along to see Yue Wan. His face scrunched up in disdain and anger, recalling her past meeting with Grandfather Li. His grandfather would never accept her as his bride unless Yue Wan disappeared.

Most recently, Li Rong was yelled at by his grandfather when the intimate pictures of their vacation were sent to his family (Ch-58). When he asked Wei Wan about it, she claimed that she knew nothing about it, and she never even told anyone about their vacation. If it was not her, who else could've done it?

While thinking about his situation and how best to resolve the issue, he saw two figures appearing behind the gate. Swiftly, he got out of the car and walked towards the massive steel gate that guarded the Yue family home. Unfortunately for Li Rong, he did not clearly identify the woman that appeared and decided that it has to be Yue Wan. Knowing that she had kept him waiting for so long, Li Rong let go of his temper.

Before even fully seeing her face, Li Rong yelled and stamped his foot. "Do you know how long I have been waiting at these gates? Who gave you the guts to treat my Li family this way? Yue Wan, you have been acting very rude and disgracefully lately, do you not even put me in your eyes? I even brought you some fascinating gifts and accessories, yet you still keep me waiting. Do you not want them?"

Very quickly, Wei Wan got out of the car and joined Li Rong by the gates, not even looking at Yue Wan. Smiling sweetly, Wei Wan asked: "How are you feeling, Yue Wan? Is your hand alright? I brought an imported cream to help ease the pain."

However, as the two figures continued to approach the other side of the gates, Li Rong stopped in midsentence, a look of disbelief flashed across his face. He stuttered unknowingly, "Yo.....u Y....ou a...are...not Wan!"

Wei Wan hadn't attended the Yue's Family gathering the other night, and so she couldn't recognize Mrs. Shen in her casual outfit.

Mrs. Shen might appear to be friendly, but appearances were often deceiving. Beneath her friendly smile hid a vicious tigers' rage. With a refined smile, she looked at the couple and asked: "Are you deaf? I believe Master Yue made it quite clear that the Li's are not welcome in the Yue's family home, and yet, you've shown your ugly face here once again."

Wei Wan was unable to read Li Rong's expression, and she truly thought that Mrs. Shen was nothing more than a caretaker to Yue Wan.

"You lowly woman, who do you think you are? Huh? He is Yue Wan's boyfriend and future husband. You need to mind your words before you get dismissed for your stupidity."

Through the corner of her eye, Mrs. Shen caught a glimpse of someone standing by the trees. With a laugh, she asked: "Is that true, Mr. Li Rong?"

Li Rong's words stumbled, his throat all of a sudden felt dry and uncomfortable. "I am Yue W---."

'Splash...Splash!' Out of nowhere, a bucket of dirty water splashed all over Li Rong's body.
