8 "Bet?"

"Liar." Song Zhilan furrowed her brows and gave him a displeased look.

"No… No… I am not lying, even you know her."

"Then, tell me… who is she?" Song Zhilan had wrinkles under her eyes but her eyes were still sharp and clear emitting demeanour aura.

"Lee Xuiye." Mo Lingtan calmly replied.

"What did you just say?" Song Zhilan was in disbelief as if she heard something wrong.

"You heard the right name, Grandma… She is the one to whom I will marry."

"Did she say 'yes' to you?"

"Not yet".

Hearing Mo Lingtan, Song Zhilan sighed.

"Of course, she will say 'No' to you," Song Zhilan said as a matter-of-fact.

Mo Lingtan said "Bet?"

Song Zhilan shot him a questioning look.

"If she became my wife in the next 6 months, you will accept her." Mo Lingtan said.

"And if you lose?" Song Zhilan raised one eyebrow and had a mischievous smile.

Mo Lingtan smile "I will marry a girl whoever you decide".

Song Zhilan saw a determination in Mo Lingtan eyes. She knew no one could change his decision if he had made once. Even, Song Zhilan didn't like his decision, she never forced him for anything. For her, it was their life and as an elder, she only wanted them to be happy.

Song Zhilan lowered her eyelashes and said in a firm voice "Tell the butler to bring the food."

A smile appeared on Mo Lingtan's face and he kissed her forehead "Sure."

Now that the bet was final, Mo Lingtan would put his life to win this bet.

After ordering the butler to give the food to his grandma, he left the old mansion.

In the car, there was silence, Qi Zhu saw his boss cold and wore a scary face as if there was something which Mo Lingtan couldn't understand how to do, which was seldom in his life, as there were many difficulties had come in the company, but Qi Zhu never saw his boss helpless.

"Did Shaan Industries decided our new ambassador?" After a while, Mo Lingtan broke the silence.

"Not yet, Master" Qi Zhu said.

"Hmm," Mo Lingtan nodded.

Again the silence escalated in the car.

Suddenly, Mo Lingtan said in a firm voice "I want Miss Lee to be the ambassador of our company at any cost."

QI Zhu took few minutes to grasp the words of Mo Lingtan then he stuttered "Y-yes Master."

"Didn't you use these tricks on my mother 25 years ago, President Wang?"

Wang Hui was stunned, he never expected Lee Xuiye would bring that matter. Indeed, he had used these tricks on Lee Chang-You, only because she wouldn't leave him and aborted the fetus. In fact, he liked Lee Chang-You, but her background was not as good as his wife and he couldn't afford to lose luxurious part of life, so he wanted to have a secret relationship with her, but on the contrary, she left him only to save her child.

For Lee Chang-You, love was important in her life and for Wang Hui, money was important in his life. Indeed they couldn't be together.

One of the reasons Wang Hui hated Lee Xuiye only was she took away his love. When she was five years old and had a heart problem. He thought God finally shower his blessing to him. He thought if Lee Xuiye would be removed from Lee Chang-You's life, he could get her love again, but Elder Wang came in between and spoilt his plan and even his deeds were discovered in front of his wife.

"It seems that you have nothing to say any more, then I shall take my leave." Lee Xuiye got up and turned to leave. She didn't want to spend a moment with this disgusting man.

Seeing Lee Xuiye was leaving, Wang Hui came back to his senses "Fine, I won't force you, but remember to come back to me, in case you change your mind."

Lee Xuiye chuckled "I don't think that day would ever come."

"We will see." Wang Hui just smiled.

"Sure."

Indeed, Wang Hui knew how to do things as per his accord. Therefore, he started to transfer all her jobs to other artists and leave her jobless.

Wang Hui's plan was clear if Lee Xuiye wanted to save her career, she would come to him and compromised as per his accord or if she didn't want to save, then indirectly benefits went to his beloved daughter Wang Yeyi.

Because, after Lee Xuiye secured the title of International Model, most of the endorsements went towards Lee Xuiye instead of Wang Yeyi.

However, Wang Hui's plan wasn't going to get fulfilled because since he denied her job, Lee Xuiye didn't even show up in front of him and in fact, God sent his blessing for Lee Xuiye in form of Mo Lingtan.

Soon, Wang Hui and Lee Xuiye heard about Shaan Industries offer.
