CHAPTER 508
"We move with the plan. Where is Li Xiu?" Bai Qing Mei asked, searching around with her eyes for the stowaway.
"I have not seen her yet but I believe that she would not miss this party for anything in the world."
"Okay. Let us find her and ensure everything is in order."
As she said this, she turned around back to the centre of the hall only to see Li Jing smiling brightly at Ye Cheng as several men and women came up for a talk.
'Tsk, I wonder if they would flock around you like that when they see the news tomorrow.' She thought before peeling her gaze away for the most important person needed fr their plan to be carried out.
"Now where is that lousy Li Xiu? When you need her you would not see her but when you do not need her, she would showcase her annoying self to you."
She was fuming with rage. Right now she cared for nothing other than to see the plan established and go home just to wake up to a bliss morning.
As she suave herself in the crowd, she unintentionally bumped into a tall man's back and almost screamed at him when he immediately turned around to check up on her.
"My lady I am sorry. My mistake," he apologized.
"Can't you see? Why were you in my path?"
0_0
"Excuse me? If I am not mistaken, you were the one moving without looking at where you were going. Wasn't I visible enough? Where were your eyes? On the ground?"
She felt insulted by his choice of words but she was going to have him apologize none less.
"Is that the apology I get?" Bai Qing Mei asked, placing both hands on her hips and staring at him well.
It was at this time she got a clearer view of him, now that his head had moved to block the light and what a shocker of who she was being rude to.
"What apology? Haven't I apologized even though you were in the wrong, yet you want me to apologize again? What a spoiled brat," he reprimanded her.
She knew she had seen him before. On many occasions but at that moment her brain went blank with his name. No matter how hard she tried she could not say it.
He was handsome, to say the least, almost as fine as Ye Cheng but with a nicer temperament. This was the first time she even saw him raise his voice at her and for what?
"Hmm."
"Hey Tang Zixin, anything the matter?" Another young man asked from behind them, helping her out with her foggy memory.
'Yikes, I just angered the young master of the Tang family, Tang Zixin. Oh Qing Mei, how can you allow that Li Jing affects you so much like this? How do I get out of this.'
"Miss Bai?" the other guy called out when he saw the person causing the ruckus.
"What?"
"Tsk, what's with the tone? Did I offend you in any way?"
"Maybe. Just do not speak with me," she retorted.
Even though she seemed mad, her gaze could not leave the face of Tang Zixin as she racked her brain for ways to make amends.
She knew he was the one her grandfather spoke about wanting to do business with. If she messes up now, she would ruin his chances of making powerful partners and that would not do her good either.
"Oh, what do we have here? Leave it to Qing Mei to always cause a commotion," another handsome fella walked up saying with a half-filled wine glass in his hand.
She turned around, ready to eye the life outta the busy body when her brain recognized him too.
"Rong!" she was taken aback.
It had been a while since they last saw. Rong was one of the close friends of Ye Cheng as well as Yi Wang Lei. He owned Rong Royals and was a busy chef so they rarely saw him.
It was a wonder he attended this birthday function. So unlike him, well so unlike their clique. Thye hated the spotlight so much but could not escape the spotlight either way and these days, Ye Cheng seemed to embrace it well.
"Miss me?"
"You wish. What farmer smoked you out of your kitchens today, Rong?" Bai Qing Mei asked, forgetting her anger towards Tamg Zixin and the other guy.
"Well, that farmer was Mr Yan Mu Chen. I am restaurant is covering the catering services here."
"You what?"
"You heard me. He ordered my exquisite services and I in my good graciousness, accepted."
Leave to Rong to always make an entrance, Bai Qing Mei thought rolling her eyes at him.
Just then a thought clicked and she narrowed her eye at him. "When you meant covering the catering service, did you mean the drinks too?"
"Everything my dear. Everything has my unique and exquisite touch in it."
'Ohh, wow. So it takes just money to bring you out?"
"Nope, you know me. I wouldn't have still but I do not have time to meet up with my pals, so I chose the opportunity to come and dine with them while of course hearing the lovely praises of those eating my delicious cuisine."
"Ahh… I see anyways, I need to go now. Bye."
As she turned around ready to leave she slammed into him again.
"Ouch! Watch it."
"No, you watch it it."
"Pff… hahaha… Seems like you just managed to get on the bad side of Tang Zixin, Qing Mei," Rong jested. He was having his fun with her despair.
"Shut up Rong. Okay, fine. I am sorry. Happy?"
He rolled his eyes at her and shook his head. "It would have been nicer if those words were coming from a sincere heart and mind as well as a not razor sharp tongue."
Saying that, he paved the way for her to pass, and taking her annoying self out of his ight.
Finding her opportunity, she hurriedly walked away to find Li Xu.
