To Love You Again

Chapter 116 - Target (II)

The clinking of glasses and laughter increases as the night goes on. All the guest was here. The four hegemons of the legendary families were complete that made all the guests bounce in happiness.

Song Xuantin and Gu Zhen finally catch up with Lu Yin Ze and Xiong Zhi. Song Xuantin told her exploration in vividness and as well how they got lost. Her exaggerated expression made Lu Yin Ze, Xiong Zhi and Gu Zhen watched her with laughter in their eyes.

Lu Yin Ze's nerves finally calmed down. Now he was with his friends, he felt a lot better.

Linfeng was standing at the side. He was beside his father and the other butlers. They are mingling with each other, however, their focus was on their masters. They were trained to give 3/4 of their focus to their masters. So while he was mingling with the other butler, his focus was on Xiong Zhi's group.

Linfeng attended a lot of parties before. Even though Xiong Zhi was not yet introduced to him.

Sometimes his father would attend as the representative of Old Xiong and his father would bring him in. He would stand like he was today. Mingling gracefully but not talking too much. He just observes and reacts to time to time. He liked it that way. Since he could see everything clearly from where he stands.

However, now, for some reason, he doesn't like his position. He doesn't want to just stand here. He wanted to...

Linfeng drinks his wine.

There are thoughts that could not be entertained.

He hopes what this suffocating feeling would be gulped down as he drank his glass.

"Linfeng, don't drink too much. Focus on a young miss. Later on, introduce her to some people." His father, Zhou Min, whispered to him.

Linfeng collected his emotion and nodded.

"Yes, father."

While Xiong Zhi was talking with her friends, she would look secretly to Linfeng's direction from time to time. It was just a habit of hers.

Song Xuantin, who knew what Xiong Zhi's was doing, teased her.

"Aiyah. Can't get enough of your man? Don't worry, I ask the staff. They would open the Luxury garden later. It is more majestic and more romantic. Let's get this chance." Song Xuantin whispered to her.

Xiong Zhi just smiled. Song Xuantin would not really waste any chance.

'Alright. I will not lose.'

Her love for Linfeng was not less to what Song Xuantin felt to Gu Zhen.

"By the way, have you prepared your gift?"

Song Xuantin suddenly remembers Xiong Zhi's problem and asked it.

Xiong Zhi already decided what she would gift. So she nodded.

"Really? That's good. I'm excited to give my gift. I wonder what Yin Ze would say when he received my gift." Song Xuantin said.

Xiong Zhi just smiled when she heard it. It turns out, Song Xuantin asked her about the gift because Song Xuantin wanted to flaunt her gift.

'Really this girl.' But Xiong Zhi looked forward to Song Xuantin's gift as well.

The meet-and-greet between the guests and celebrant continued until the food was served.

However, before the food was served, Xiong Wuyu showed that she was really a daughter of Xiong De. Her ability to mingle and made others have a good impression of her was top-notch. Added that she was a beautiful girl and have a surname Xiong made people welcome her to their group and introduce her to their friends as well. She becomes known in the circles of future successors of the shareholders and directors. That was thanks to the man she used as a bridge.

Now, all she had to do was to show in front of the second young master Lu that she already captivated the future supporters with her charm. For sure, she would be more alluring to him.

Food was served and the guest enjoyed the luxury of food.

Afterwards, was the toast for the celebrant.

Lu Yin Ze stands up and went to the four hegemons table to accept the toast.

Afterward, to the shareholder's table, to the directors, to the CEO's of the conglomerates, until he came to the table of the future successors.

This table was full of young people. Some were was in his age. This table was very lively and full of vigor. While Lu Yin Ze was interacting with them, he got influenced by their liveliness. They made a lot of fun here with him.

Xiong Wuyue was in the table as well. She stands up and gives a toast to Lu Yin Ze.

"May the second young master lead the Lu empire to prosper! Long live!" She said with a red face and a shy smile.

The people around the table copied her. They raised their glass and loudly said those words. This group really stand out in this tranquil event.

The older people saw this and got very lively as well. It's good to be young!

Lu Yin Ze was happy that the future successor welcomed him. He looked at Xiong Wuyue with gratitude. Since she was the initiator.

"Thank you, everyone." As he said, he drank the wine.

The Old hegemons saw this. The table full of young people really stands out. Since that group was the loudest.

"It seems like your grandson captured the hearts of his future supporters. Well done." Old Guan said.

Old Lu was happy whenever his grandson was praised. However, he played to be humble.

"Ha.ha. It's all thanks to the young ones. They welcomed my grandson."

"Oh. I remember that girl. She was in the Xiong banquet. Is that your granddaughter?" Old Guan suddenly said when he took a look at the young one's table.

In the mention of the surname Xiong, Old Xiong looked at the table and find the familiar face.

It was Xiong Wuyue.

His brow furrowed. He doesn't know that this granddaughter of his got invited. Old Xiong looked around. He couldn't find Xiong De. But he was sure he was here.

"Oh. So the initiator is your granddaughter huh. But she's not Xiong Zhi." Old Lu already saw the calm and beautiful girl beside Old Xiong. He knew it was Xiong Zhi. He never had the chance to tease her. Maybe later. But it surprised him that there's another Xiong in the event. Lu and Xiong were never close. So it was really a wonder.

"Hmm. It seems like you have a talented granddaughter. To manage to mingle with my future shareholders. What a talent." Old Lu said praising a Xiong for the first time.

Old Xiong was never polite when it comes to Old Lu.

"Of course. We have the same blood Xiong running to our veins. We are winners of our own." What made Old Xiong happy was his surname being uplifted. Now his surname was being praised in front of this hegemons, he was pleased. He planned to reward Xiong Wuyue later. However, there were still unclear motives behind their presence here. For now, he would overlook it.

Old Lu's brow twitched. He was giving casual praise but Old Xiong takes a mile from that praise.

"Hmmph. Winner your ass." He mumbled.

Xiong De was happy seeing her daughter in the table. Her daughter blended well in that group. She also managed to gain a good impression of the second young master Lu. If things go on like this, who knows, maybe before they go home, the second young master would be infatuated with his daughter and they would leave a

spark that would be ready to be ignited anytime.

'That's my daughter!' Xiong De was very proud.

Xiong Zhi saw this as well. She just continued drinking her wine while hiding her mocking smile.

'Let her just continue to soar in the sky.'

Xiong Zhi suffered in the past because of this father and daughter duo. She knew very well how black their heart was and how they moved. As it was said, once bitten never been shy.

What Xiong Wuyue was doing was clear as water for her. Xiong Zhi could see right through their thoughts.

But would Xiong Wuyue think it would go smoothly as she thinks? Maybe it would be if Xiong Zhi was not reborn.

However, after she reborn, she found a second habit that she really enjoyed. That was seeing Xiong Wuyue and Xiong De's contorted expression.

She wanted them to be disappointed, to be in pain, to suffer loss, to experience having everything they want in their hands but unexpectedly found it empty. She wanted them to feel hope and then crushed it in front of them.

She wanted them to be driven in despair.

If Xiong Zhi saw a chance to torture them she would grab it without hesitation.

She would not let them get what they want smoothly.

Xiong Wuyue was happy that she got the second young master's attention. If given an inch, she would take a mile. So she poured a little wine to Lu Yin Ze gracefully. Her shy smile was really captivating.

"It's your day, young master Lu. Enjoy it at your heart 's content." Xiong Wuyue said.

The others in the table chirp in as well for Lu Yin Ze to joined them and drink to their heart's content.

Lu Yin Ze was planning to leave and returned to his friend's table but the young one's table keeps urging him to stay and drink more while they tell him stories.

Lu Yin Ze has not yet experienced this. He did not know how to reject. Besides, this was the people who would support him in the future. So he gave in. He would stay a little more.

Xiong Wuyue became happier.
