18 Candidates for Xiang

Next day

Yue Xiang woke up later than his usual time, after his physical training, he took a hot bath and came to dinner. In the dining hall, his father and sister have been present, Yue Yeager was reading a newspaper by having lavender tea and Yue Wan was exploring her phone while biting toast which was served by staff. The first one to notice his presence was his father, "Good morning Xiang." 

Yue Yeager noticed the dark circles under Yue Xiang's eyes, "What in the world happen? Did your girlfriend dump you?."

Yue Xiang gave an ugly stare at his father and then ignored him, "Uncle Wang."

Uncle Wang placed his breakfast with tea, newspaper and two reports, "They came this morning, Young Master."

Yue Yeager didn't plan to leave his son off that easily, so he picked up the files beside his plate, "Don't worry, there is a lot of fish in this world, Look daddy bought all eligible candidates for a blind date." 

Yue Wan looked up from her phone and gave one hard stare at her Big Brother, and returned to her original work, 'Consider me invisible.'

Yue Yeager got no response as he expected from his son, so he rummages through the list and picked up one candidate, "Ah, she is perfect, look at this..." 

Yue Xiang frowned and didn't respond. He didn't want to kick his father in front of his sister. But his father's antics reached his peak.

Yue Yeager shamelessly places a photo in the middle of the table and said: "She completed her degree in Oxford and a topper in her batch. And she knew skiing and swimming, you guys would turn into a heavenly pair."

Hearing it, Yue Wan coughed in the middle of her orange juice, 'Ahem...Ahem.'  

'Daddy, you are risking your life!'

Yue Yeager patted his daughter's back and asked her in concern, "Are you alright." 

Yue Wan grinned at him and said 'yes' by gesturing her head.

Yue Xiang had enough of his father's nonsense, placing his fork down, he stood up, not before commenting: "You like her, then let's fix the date for your marriage. I am pleased with her being my young mom. Then you two could become heavenly goofy pair!" 

Yue Xiang left the table with a cheeky grin on his lips. His hands were in his pockets.

Yue Wan broke out into a coughing fit and almost choked on her own spit: 'That's a terrible joke brother.' 

Even Uncle Wang was trying hard to control his laugh but his lips still gave a little smile.

On the other hand, Yue Yeager's face flushed with embarrassment, he roared: "You...You smelly brat, get back here this instant. I am not done with you." 

Yue Yeager followed Yue Xiang with a red face to the study room. He wants to reprimand this son for damaging his face in front of his cute daughter.

Yue Wan's face loaded up with joy. She missed a lot in the past, so she regards each second with her family as a golden treasure in her heart. She completed her morning meal and returned to her room to plan a date with Little Spring.

-- In Study--

Yue Yeager sat in the Master's chair and Yue Xiang sat opposite him. "Did you get the report?" Yue Yeager asked him. 

Yue Xiang gave him the documents and stated, "I found the dealers yet they don't have any link with Wei, but Lu Jia has a hand in it. As for I dug through Wei's association, there is no record of relationship with Lu Jia."

Yue Yeager read each page with a bad complexion: "What about CCTV during the party?" 

Yue Yeager looked at Yue Xiang with expectation.

"They all no use, it's a good-executed plan, but....there is something else," Yue Xiang snapped his finger.

Soon Uncle Wang came inside with a man holding by two military guards. 

Yue Yeager knew that man, he was one of the securities of Yue Villa, "Why you bring him here?."

Uncle Wang came forward, and revealed: "Master Yue; when we were looking through his room, we got some bank book worth of 30 lakhs and ornaments which belong to Young Miss. Not only this our group discovered his home address and carried out a verification, which states that he has various trusts under his folks and spouse names recently. So we made a crosscheck over his account and found 2 million account transitions over the past 2 years."

Yue Yeager was shocked to hear it, "What!?"

With a frown, Yue Yeager yelled demanding to the lead of this plan: "Who did this?"

Uncle Wang made eye contact with Yue Xiang and slowly inhaled, "I am sorry, Master Yue, everything is done from our Little Miss account."

"Impossible!" Slamming the table, Yue Yeager stood up with a face filled with anger.

The man kneeling before him chucked and added: "Yes!! Young Miss gave me the money. Hahaha!"

Yue Yeager made a large strike toward him and kicked that security with high force, "You're lying, Tell me Who is your master? Tell me? or else I will kill you." 

Yue Yeager strangled him in anger. 

Yue Xiang pulled him away from that security and controlled his rage: "Dad, please calm down."

"Calm down! How could I calm down, hearing this trash words." His high pitched voice echoed in the room.

Yue Xiang knew this would happen, he signaled them to return, as its no point to keep that security alive anymore. Because that guy is blaming Yue Wan's name repeatedly.

Uncle Wang knew what to do next, so he stuffed some cloth in that guy's mouth and dragged him out.

Once again the room became silent for a moment.

'Crash...Crash.'

Yue Yeager broke all the things in the study and roared: "For what reason would she place somebody to drug herself, it's a bunch of bullshits." 

When Yue Xiang got the report, he, too, didn't believe it. There was no logic for her to disgrace herself, but he had a slight doubt that she could have done this without her knowledge.

In a voice like hollow wind in a cave, Yue Xiang contested: "She acted arrogantly in the past but she never uses the back door. She worked hard to earn her recognition."

When Yue Yeager heard this he halted his action, "But if others see this, they would think she did it all!" 

He worries about the Yue Elders, they never had a good opinion on Yue Wan.

Yue Xiang can recognize who his father was talking about, "Dad, a Family gathering will be held on this Sunday." 

Which means they need to clear Yue Wan's name as soon as possible.

Yue Yeager didn't want to delay anymore: "Call Little Wan to my study."

--Yue Wan's room--

After the beautiful breakfast, Yue Wan called Little Spring for an outing, but unexpectedly, she is going to visit her grandparents for the following 3 days, so Yue Wan intended to lazy around the home and do some shopping. While picking up the dress for going shopping. 

'Ding--Ding' her message tone ran.

"Who would be that now?" Yue Wan opened her inbox.

-----

From Li Rong: 

-Yue Wan, Let's have a date?'

Message end.

------

"Something isn't right usually I would be the one send a message and he will ignore it." 

Yue Wan found it strange, however, she plans to play along, but before she can reply, Uncle Wang requested her in the study as her father demanded.

-- Back to study--

Yue Wan came to the study saw her dad and brother between all broken things and felt the compressed atmosphere: "Daddy, you asked for me." Yue Yeager hugged his daughter, and vowed: "Little Wan, no matter what I will always believe you."

"What is it?" She asked her Big brother instead of father and Yue Xiang placed the report in her grasp. 

Yue Wan freed from her father's embrace and looked through it, with no change in her expression she gazed straight at her brother's eyes and inquired: "What about Li?".

----- 1-minute silence----

Yue Xiang stood still for a minute, and made a call, "Find the connection between Lu Jia and Li Rong," 

And with that, he left the room in a hurry.

Yue Yeager scanned both his children's face like a kid glancing here and there with curiosity, 'Did I miss something.'
