Chapter 974: [Bonus chapter] Provocation

"Yes! We can teach you a lot!" exclaimed Xiu. "Uncle, you're still single at this age. You have to learn. I already have an eight-year-old son. And I'm a decade younger than you! You should learn before it's too late!"         

    

"You really need to stop," said Xia Zhao. "Aren't you tired?"     

Xiu waved her arms around and stuck her face against the glass wall as she looked at the auction stage. Her eyes narrowed at what was being auctioned and she said, "Oh, that's a beautiful cup. It'll be good for some coffee."     

Both men looked at the stage and saw a white porcelain cup with a blue painting which was from Qing Dynasty. It certainly was something people would display in the glass but here she was wanting to have coffee in it. Only she could do it. Only she!     

"Let's buy! Let's buy it! Buy, buy, buy!"     

Even if she wanted it, to break it for fun, her father would buy it for her. Who cared why she wanted it?      

In the end, they bought only two things by the end of the auction. They waited in the private room for a while and didn't leave immediately. Both of the men didn't want to interact with other people and get besieged. So, they both weren't in a hurry to leave at all.     

On the other hand, when Mu Chenyan was leaving with Yue Yue, there weren't many people left around who would want to talk to her. Those who even saw her tacitly took a step away from her. Just Mu Chenyan's expression right now was enough to deter most people who were familiar with her temper.     

It seemed Yue Lan didn't leave and was standing with a man and a woman in the corridor as they exchanged pleasantries with fake smiles. Mu Chenyan didn't want to pay attention to her and neither did Yue Lan want to run into her but who knew she'd see the person beside Mu Chenyan in full view and it made her eyes widen.     

"You're still alive?" That was the first thing that came out of Yue Lan's mouth when she saw Yue Yue.      

Yue Yue also saw her and knew she couldn't hide right now. But she wasn't gonna run. If one ignored half of her body hiding behind Mu Chneyan, than she seemed quite ready for a confrontation right now.     

"What are you doing here?" Yue Lan glared at Yue Yue. "Didn't I tell you to go and die somewhere else? How dare you appear in front of me again after what you did to me?"     

Yue Yue was very angry when she heard that. She always believed it was really her fault but now she didn't think so. She stared back at Yue Lan fearlessly but her only shortcoming was, she couldn't speak! She couldn't throw back some words at the face of this hypocritical sister of hers!     

But she didn't have to her. Her voice was Mu Chenyan who stood before her and snapped her finger before Yue Lan with an ugly expression, "Ms. Yue, are you perhaps blind?"     

Yue Lan was surprised and dissatisfied with Mu Chenyan's question. She didn't think this had anything to do with Mu Chenyan.     

"Ms. Mu, I'm talking to my sister."     

"Oh, how come I didn't know you had a sister? Does anyone else know?"     

Yue Lan was tongue-tied because apart from their close family friends, rarely people knew that the Yue family had another Miss named Yue Yue all because Yue Lan wanted to remove Yue Yue's existence.     

"Let me introduce you to my sister," said Mu Chenyan as she hugged Yue Yue's shoulder and looked at Yue Lan. "This is my sister, Yue. She is our Xiang family's person. That's why I said, are you blind? How do you have the nerve to talk so rudely to someone from our family? Do you think you're the president of the country or something?"     

Yue Lan was taken aback when she heard that and looked at Yue Yue incredulously while Yue Yue looked pleased and stared back at Yue Lan. But her looks seemed more like a provocation to Yue Lan who thought this scared little thing was now mocking her. This thing that Yue Lan could trample on anywhere and anytime was now standing before her and mocking her. How could she take it?     

"It seems, your wings have hardened. Your mother really needs to learn that."     

This was a disguised threat and Yue Yue could tell. All her life, she had gone through these threats. For the sake of giving her mother an easy life, she repeatedly bowed before this sister. But what was the result? Nothing!     

Seeing indifference in Yue Yue's eyes as if her words didn't even matter, Yue Lan felt something was amiss. It seemed her words had no effect on Yue Yue which meant she lost control over Yue Yue which she always took pride in. How was that acceptable? She wanted to pounce on Yue Yue and scratched that face didn't lose it's beauty even after all these years.     

It made the hatred within her burn even hotter.     

It reminded her how she lost control over her own husband and her own son as well. All because of this bitch! She was really mad and wanted to do something. She forgot where she was stepped up to get close to Yue Yue.     

But before she could, someone appeared and stood in front of Mu Chenyan and Yue Yue.         

    

Looking at the man who stood before her, Yue Lan was shocked.      

"It seems Mrs. Hu doesn't need her membership rights," said Xia Zhao lazily making the woman who was standing behind Yue Lan all this time, to shudder in fear. "Then there is no need for the Hu family to get involved in our businesses."     

"Master Zhao," Yue Lan opened her mouth and called out softly.     

"Do I know you?" asked Xia Zhao. "I don't think your name is written on our invitation list."     

Yue Lan was seething in rage because she couldn't argue with Xia Zhao. She might not be familiar with Mu Chenyan's power but she knew a thing or two about Xia Zhao who was known as a mysterious person. Even in the capital's hidden families, no one dared to offend him. But she was even madder because he was standing up to protect Yue Yue whom she hated the most in her life.     

"Then how is she on the invitation list?" she pointed at Yue Yue with a crazed look in her eyes.     

Xia Zhao gave her a lazy look, "Yue Yue doesn't need an invitation."
