CHAPTER 491 – Next Plan

Hahaha… He did not know when a burst of lovely laughter escaped his lips the next moment. "You are something else," he added.

"I know right? That is why you love me, hahaha…"

"Oh, women!" he rolled his eyes at her but his smile remained.

"Hmm, at least compare to the two vultures you have in your life, I am much better. No offense on Bai Qing Mei though. I like her for one thing."

"None taken and what is the thing you like her for?"

"She can make Li Xiu go gaga. Both of them, sigh. Although she comes to lash out at us, I am glad that someone can frustrate her as well."

"Ah! I see. Alright. Now, the best thing would be to plan well and utilize her."

"How so?"

"Well, these kinds of things are best spoken of face to face and not over the phone."

"Sure. Besides, I only get to see my bro only once every blue moon. Hmm. I think I should be throwing tantrums like Bai ing Mei and Li Xiu to get your attention now, right?"

"Hey, do not be like that. I love and care about you. You are and would forever be my? kid sis."

"Yeah, I know. I am just kidding."

"Cool then. Let's meet at our usual. See ya in a bit. Bye."

"Bye."

They both arrived at the restaurant at about the same time and walked in together to get a table.

"Now, what would my baby sis love to eat?"

"Nothing really, perhaps just a drink would be fine."

"Nonsense, Zhi Ruo. You are eating to your fill."

"Bro, I can take care of myself, I have done so before and I can always do that."

"I know. It is my treat, allow me."

"Fine."

"Waiter!"

By the time they finished with their orders and were served, Hao Zhi Ruo cleared her throat, indicating that it was time to be serious.

"Tell me, Huizhong, what is going on? How far have you gone with your revenge plan?"

"I am still on it. All these while I have been studying Ye Cheng from afar and even more I have been laying low under Bai Qing Mei to know things and get enough funds and source for back up in preparation for the ultimate."

"And that is?"

"Soon though but for now, I need to still keep Li Xiu in check. She would be a great tool, an asset to us in the long run."

"Just be careful with her. She is like a poisonous snake. She can do and undo. If she could turn her sister away and use her, she can do the same."

"No need to worry, that is where Bai Qing Mei comes in. I would make her feel I am loyal to her and thus use her to tame Li Xiu. While Li Xiu works for her to bring Ye Cheng down, I facilitate the process and do my thing, they would have all his wealth."

"Nice," Hao Zhi Ruo chuckled. "So it is more like both girls are working for you and to your advantage?"

"Yes. I am the king would sit down and have his workers and servant work for him," Hao Huizhong boasted.

"Wow, what can I say?" her smile broadened. "I am proud of my king of a brother," she teased.

"Of course you should ve proud. Meanwhile, I have hired one of the best lawyers out there to help push for the case."

"Alright. But you know it won't be an easy one. I just you are alright after all these. I am scared about it," Hao Zhi Ruo warned.

"What is there to be scared of? I am doing the right thing, baby girl. I am getting what is rightfully mine."

"I understand. Have you envisaged his reply and reaction? I for one know that he would not be okay with it and may not readily accept it. So you should be prepared."

"Yes and that is why I hired one of the best."

"Sigh with all your years being with them I would have thought you hired the best," Hao Zhi Ruo queried, not hiding her displeasure.

"I know but if I do, it would require much money. I do not want to draw unnecessary suspicions to myself, now do I?"

"No. I understand."

"Great. So I need to keep a steady low profile, my dear."

"Alright. I trust you and your judgement. Just do you and be very careful, I mean it. If not, mother would be mad."

"I would not do anything to incur her wrath and also I have your best interest at heart."

"Thanks."

"Eat up. Or you would get bored with the food."

"Thanks, bro, for all that you do."

"Any time."

While they ate their meal in silence, Hao Huizhong paused as he got lost in his thoughts.

All these had begun when he started growing up and helping out in the family. Each time he sees the Ye family, his blood would boil and he would clench his fist so tight.

He had always looked up to them for one reason that in time they would be the ones looking up to him while he rode on their wealth.

'Now, it is time for war. Worry not, Zhi Ruo, I would ensure that you enjoy the best in life.' He thought.

After another week passed, Bai Qing Mei and Hao Huizhong refused to talk to each other. For him, he was pushing through with his plans and getting ahead of her.

He had decided on waiting for like a month before calling her if she did not call him but the Bai Qing Mei he knew, she could not stand that long without him.

Her frustration had been hitting on her lately and even at work, things easily irritated her and she lashed out.

Unfortunately, for her, this was the prime when her grandfather meant something good for her.

KNOCK!

"Yes? Did I not ask not to be disturbed?!" Bai Qing Mei yelled in anger.

Ignoring her yell, the door pushed open. She was about to go ballistic on the intruder when she paused and kept quiet.

"So this is how you behave now?"

She did not say anything and stood up to greet him.

"Hey gramps," she walked closer to where he stood at the door and quickly put on a cheerful smile before hugging him close.

She pulled back after some time only to find him frowning at her.

"Gramps, what is the matter? Why are you not putting on your best smile for me?"

"Because right now I doubt if you are deserving of such."

She felt really hurt by his words but masked it with a smile and pretended it was nothing. "Please come in."

"I thought you asked not to be disturbed?"

"But you disturbed irrespective, didn't you?"

"I did, so I apologize and should be on my way."

"I am sorry. You should know better than this. I was just being frustrated."

"And everyone has one way or the other being frustrating you? Qing Mei, what is the matter? This is not you. You are behaving like a spoiled brat right now."

"Hey, grandfather. I am your princess you know."

"I know but I worry about your attitude if you would get a man like this. Speaking of which, where is Hao Huizhong? I haven't seen him here in the office for about two weeks now."

His gaze wandered on her body. He did not need a soothsayer to tell him something was wrong. Something was definitely not okay between these two.

"What have you done to him, again?"

"Again!"

"Gramps, why are you taking his side and not mine?" Qing Mei queried.

"Huizhong is not a known trouble maker but…"

Cutting in, Bai Qing Mei said, "I am?"

"I am not saying that."

"No, gramps, then tell me what is going on? What you meant."

"I meant that I have spoilt you so much that you might be acting spoilt to him when he is angry and you wouldn't plead with him, thinking he would pamper you as I do."

"Isn't he supposed to do so on a normal?"

"Yes, but not all the time. Do not forget who he is to you, Qing Mei. He loves you but you still put him below Ye Cheng and yet you want him around you to do your bidding. Baby seriously! If you are the one being used like that how would you feel?"

"But I am not using him."

"Really?" The stare he gave to her made her have a rethink and she kept quiet.

"Maybe a little bit."

"You are and for what? To sex him up? No, you are not being fair."

"Sigh!"

It was just as though he knew why they had a fight in the first place. It was still Ye Cheng.

"But he should know that I need him."

"How would he know if you do not tell him? I am guessing you two haven't spoken since, right? No need to answer that. Just call him. I guess your body misses him that is why you are like this. Please fix yourself else I would rethink my latest decision concerning you."
