Shi Meng grinned at the fated lucky encounter!!
It seemed as if even the heavens wanted him to bring down his evil ex-wife and tear apart her pretty white flower act.
Go ahead and do anything and everything you want my dear ex-wife. With this, I should be able to crush all your schemes. Ha Ha Ha. Shi Meng's insides roared with laughter.
He obviously recognized Angela Hissenger with a single glance, the moment his eyes fell on her. And he, of course, knew the effect he had on women.
But this was just way too easy... Ha Ha Ha. Why did women have to always throw themselves at him?? Shi Meng sighed.
He then politely invited Angela Hissenger for dinner and drinks with his friends, which of course was met with a resounding and flirtatious yes.
And thus .... they ended up together at Tang Yue's and Su Han's booth, resulting in Tang Yue's dismal evening.
Gazing at those discerning eyes, Angela hesitated a bit. She didn't like involving herself in these love triangle situations, but she eventually gave in and went straight for the goal.
She smiled charmingly and sat down on an empty spot near Shi Meng, on the other side, the one where Tang Yue was not snuggling next to the man.
"Ha Ha. It looks like the party started without us. And wow, the food looks yummy!" Angela smirked and casually said.
"It does! Doesn't it? Here Shi, have some tikka sauce. I know it's your favorite!" Not wanting to be left out, Tang Yue butted in, trying to affectionately spoonfeed Shi Meng.
"..."
Shi Meng looked impatiently at Tang Yue and stopped her hands from feeding him.
The man honestly was a little bit annoyed with her. What is with this sudden overtly friendly behavior?! She was not like this earlier. He wondered.
While Shi Meng was racking his brain to salvage the situation, Angela smiled and swiftly made her move.
"These look amazing but I am in the mood for some simple American food. I am missing home you see. Do you want to grab a quick dinner somewhere else and join these party animals afterward Shi?" Angela chuckled and asked.
And just like that, the battle was won.
Leaving behind a flabbergasted Tang Yue, Shi Meng and Angela Hissenger took off, all three with their own unique special schemes in their brains.
Tang Yue could only helplessly watch them leave. She might be a supreme schemer compared to the old Su Lin, easily trapping the woman and getting her way, but when compared to Angela, she was still a baby schemer.
The woman snatched her childhood crush right in front of her eyes without even lifting a finger.
Tang Yue gritted her teeth and angrily left home for the night, ignoring the completely smashed Su Han.

Meanwhile…..
Su Lin had not slept well the entire night.
No matter how many times she changed the bedspread and the bedsheets, the room was filled with the musky smell of that devilishly handsome man.
His presence lingered around her reminding her of the ambiguous events that had happened recently.
She put the disturbing thoughts away from her head and ended up sleeping on the couch instead.
Grandpa Su had been extremely pleased with her product at his birthday banquet and even went out of his way to encourage her efforts and offer her monetary help for officially kickstarting the business.
With a computer screen open in front of her, Su Lin was intently staring at the 5 bold lettered lines that appeared on the screen in a sea of unwanted information.
Runyan curiously peered closer to look at what Su Lin was pondering about and her thin figure froze in shock as soon as she gazed at the web page.
[Wiki how: How to start a cosmetic company]
[Step 1 – Apply patent for the formula]
[Step 2 – Suppliers]
[Step 3 – Manufacturing strategy]
....
....
These lines were staring at the dumbfounded Runyan's face.
Did her best friend just google how to start a company??
Runyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this ridiculousness!!!
"What happened?" Su Lin cocked her head and innocently asked her friend who was nervous nibbling on her nails.
"Nothing. My great aunt, you please carry on." Runyan replied with a deadpan expression.
The problem was they had no one else to rely on and ask for advice.
In the end, they might really have to just rely on a google search to start their business!
Grandpa Su had asked Su Lin for her bank account details to transfer some funds.
So Su Lin ignored the silly girl's worrisome expression and opened her online account.
She took a sip from her glass of water as she waited for the login screen to send her to her account home, when suddenly… SPLURT…
Su Lin choked on her water, spitting out or rather spraying out the contents of her mouth.
A monumental sum of money was staring at her face!!
SOMEHOW… IN THE SPAN OF A SINGLE DAY… SHE WAS A FREAKING MILLIONAIRE!!!!!
