Chapter 122 - Impudent! Stop Cruising My Wei

-----With Wei Zhi------

In order to not lose their standing at the Xiao party, Wei Xing ordered Shao Qing to prepare everything extravagantly. This was a one-time opportunity for Wei Xing, though this party, he could get acquaintance with higher and more powerful aristocratic families.

"Is everything prepared? Or are you still lacking a brain and spine." A hoarse voice sounded with a trace of impatience that was not easy to detect.

The Matriarch of the Wei family, Wei Lan, sat in a chair with a dominating aura. She usually had an air of arrogance but once she opens her mouth, her words bite others like a snake...

Kneeling before his mother, Wei Xing looked up. Though he made the preparations as his mother suggested, still he was afraid deep inside.

Shen Qing was the first to speak up with an anxious expression on her face: "Mother, I think we are too hasty in this decision. What if we fail? Then our whole family will be annihilated----"

"Impudent! Stop cruising my Wei!" The Matriarch of Wei was so angry that she suddenly sat upright and her voice became sharper.

Shen Qing's facial expression stiffened. She bit her lip in frustration and kept her next words inside her heart.

Wei Xing didn't dare to lift his head and meet with his mother's ferocious eyes, by kneeling down he muttered in a heavy voice: "Mother, can we trust them?"

The Matriarch's brows tightened. She, too, was scared to have her Wei family enter this fire, but this was an opportunity for them to touch the Xiao family's greatness and use it to belittle the Li family.

Wei Xing's heart palpitated in panic. He gazed at his mother in anxiety and said: "What if we get caught? What should we do?"

As the words were spoken, a look of ruthlessness appeared on The Matriarch's face: "We just have to sacrifice the lamp."

----With Yue Wan----

Late that night, Yue Wan was sitting at her desk with a laptop in front of her, working on some things. Little Bao, who was yawning and rubbing against her body, was keeping her warm and cozy as she absentmindedly played with his fur. The peacefulness was interrupted as Yue Wan's phone started to ring on the desk. Looking at the caller, she smiled as she answered.

"Did you get it?" she demanded.

From the other side of the phone, Xie Lingyun, the owner of the Black Market, gave a proud smile as he replied: "I found the dealer who sold some of the items to a person named Grace, but the particular item in the photo you provided is unable to be traced."

Yue Wan, with a tender voice that belied her words, said: "I want that dealer, tonight. Make sure he is alive by the time he gets to me. If he got escaped? I don't mind destroying your Blackmarket completely and utterly."

Xia Lingyun spat out the tea that he was drinking and yelled: "What!!"

Yue Wan's slow peaceful voice continued as if he had not just interrupted: "Also, that tapestry on the wall behind you… I want it. Make sure to have it delivered to me by the morning, and feel free to bill it to the Yue family."

Xie Lingyun looked across the room to the tapestry that she was referring to. It was a magnificently embroidered cloth that was fairly large with a dragon dominating the outside, encircling a beautiful golden phoenix in its center as if the dragon was protecting its most precious treasure.

"Ahem...Wh--a?" He broke out into a coughing fit and almost choked on his own spit. "That thing cost me billions! And you are going to buy it just like that?!? Are you crazy?"

Pressing index finger to her soft cheek and tapping her chin rhythmically, Yue Wan's voice became as cold as iron, "Yes!"

No longer interested in his ranting, Yue Wan hung up on him, confident that he was going to do her bidding.

Placing her phone down, Yue Wan took a deep breath and her lips slightly hooked up.

Now she would watch just how those dogs would bite another dog.

Little Bao opened his eyes lazily like a disturbed beast and squirmed with a whining: "Meoowww...."

Yue Wan gently pat his head: "Sh, Sh...Sleep my dear, we have a big game to play." Her expression was one of pure happiness and a large smile could be seen on her lips, but the expression in her eyes told a different story. They were incomparably cold:

"Now to call her for the next stage of the plan..."

-----With Xie Lingyun----

On the other hand, Xie Lingyun was somewhat shocked as he was hung upon. There was no price negotiated for the tapestry, Yue Wan had only said that she wanted it by morning. "Since that is the case, I might as well charge for rush delivery. 2.5 Billion dollars should cover everything."

Holding the phone in his hand, he tapped it against his cheek with a smirk forming on his lips. Deciding on the price that would set his heart at ease, he rang a bell on his table to call his workers into his office.

"She is quite a unique character," He mumbled with a happy voice.

"Who?" the little voice of his assistant was heard. He had just entered the room with a snack tray in his hand and a confused expression on his face.

Seeing the spicy snacks, Xie Lingyun's eyes lit up instantly as he rushed toward his assistant and grabbed the snacks he loved. "For me? Thanks, my beloved!"

With a goofy smile, Xie Lingyun pinched his little assistant's cheek and said: "I can tell just how much you love me. Even if the heavens fall apart and earth is destroyed, I will always belong to you."

Ru Keung had been the assistant of Xie Lingyun for many years, but he was still not used to the extreme personality of his boss. When he heard Xie Lingyun's last sentence, the veins on his forehead popped out. He really couldn't deal with this lunatic boss of his.
