Ah Li

"Father, any news regarding Master Shen? Did he accept my invitation?" Du Ai Sha looked at her father pleadingly.

"My dear, it looks like you have to settle for Young Master Han instead, he had been bugging me to allow him to be your date. Apparently, Master Shen is out of town and no one knows his whereabouts. He is a private man after all. Even his parents are out of the country. By the way, there are news the name Du Ru Ran have resurfaced. Instead of focusing on Master Shen, why don't you focus on her? She is most likely to reappear, maybe during your birthday banquet," Du Wen Hai replied instead.

Du Ai Sha immediately pout, she doesn't want to settle for a second best, she is only interested in the best. Young Master Han can be considered as no. 2 most wanted bachelor in the country. She believes she deserves better than the no. 2 because she is number 1. Logically, a number 1 beauty deserve the no. 1 bachelor.

Again, it's Du Ru Ran, such a thorn in her heart. If she decides to appear on her birthday banquet, she will crush her to dust.

Ru Ran at that time was sitting in a business class flight in the arms of Ji Yu. They booked the whole business class seat that there is only them and Uncle Tek. They are on the route back to Country Z. Ji Yu had already made proper arrangements as to prevent untoward happening to the flight. Ru Ran purposely used her name to attract the attention of her enemies. She is sure she will get a glorious welcoming party at the airport. As of now, she is resting leisurely against her husband. The more she spent her time with him, the more she feels like she can't bear to be apart from him. Is this love?

"Boss, it is confirmed a lady with the name of Du Ru Ran boarded a flight from Country T with two bodyguards, one of which matched with the guy called Tek."

A man sitting in the dark appeared to be contemplating, finally he just nod his head and said, "Inform that fool Du Wen Hai to keep an eye on Du Ru Ran's movement. By the way, did you manage to track Shen Ji Yu for my daughter? The fool Du Wen Hai wants to pair my daughter with Young Master Han. Don't he understand, Ai Sha only deserves the best?" he said.

This man is none other than the man that helped Du Wen Hai in the shadows years ago. He hated Du Wen Hao, Du Ru Ran's father to the core and in actual fact, he wanted to destroy the Du family. He did not expect fate to play him by making him fall for Du Wen Hai's woman and even have a daughter Ai Sha. All he wants right now is to crush Du Ru Ran for the sake of old grudges and give everything for his daughter.

"No boss, that guy is just too sly, he always manage to avoid detection. We heard rumours that he recently went to Belgium, and he was with a lady. We are still investing it."

"What?? I want all resources to focus on that rumor. He had never allowed a female to be at his side, if yes then that woman must mean something, I want a report in three days time. If the rumours are real, I want that woman gone,"he commanded.

After his subordinate left, he downed a shot of whiskey.

"Ah Li, Ah Hao is staying with us, his mother passed away, be good and take care of each other, okay?"

"Ah Li is delusional, he still acts like he is some family's Young Master, he needs to remember he is only an adopted child. Nothing belongs to him. Now that Du Wen Hao maternal grandparents called him back, most likely they will name Du Wen Hao as their successor."

"Du Wen Hao is a genius! Looks at his grades, he beats Ah Li by a wide margin, and we used to think Ah Li is a genius. This is a true genius! What such fools we are to think Ah Li as unbeatable"

He started to drink the whiskey from the bottle itself. He thought these mocking voices he had been hearing would disappear with Du Wen Hao's death instead it became worst. Du Wen Hao can't you just leave me in peace. I was doing great till you came along!
