Chapter 118 Yousre Keeping a Gigolo Behind His Back (2/2)
Monica nodded vigorously. ”I was wrong. I won't cause you trouble again,” she said. Then, she gave Ah Nan a kick.
Ah Nan felt like the unluckiest person in the universe. He never had anything to do with the whole thing from the start. He glared at Monica and then handed a stack of documents to Ying Qingcang. ”Young Master, this is what we have on Fang Lu.”
Ying Qingcang flipped through a few pages. His brows shot up briefly. ”Oh! How interesting.”
Fang Lu was the daughter of a Malaysian billionaire; however, that was only due to her mother's remarriage. In other words, Fang Lu was not related to the billionaire by blood. The documents also contained an in depth introduction to Fang Lu's love life. It turned out that her first man was, surprisingly, that billionaire's son.
”Seems like she had promised Randa that she'll set up a design studio for him in Hong Kong,” Ah Nan added.
Monica threw out a remark, ”No wonder she was so keen on kicking Randa to the curb the moment she saw you.”
Even the blind could tell how much more powerful Ying Qingcang was compared to Randa. They were practically in different echelons!
”She wants to obtain status through a man so that her stepfather will acknowledge her,” Ah Nan said, shaking his head. ”She's truly sick in the head. The likes of her are no different from those prostitutes on the streets. And yet she had the audacity to associate herself with our young master.”
Ying Qingcang dumped the documents into the trash can. He stared at Monica and asked, ”You made some kind of deal with her, didn't you?” Monica shook her head forcefully.
”From now on, do your job obediently. If you cause trouble again, then get your a** back to England.” Turning to Ah Nan, Ying Qingcang said, ”Don't bother with this kind of woman. Find someone to keep an eye on Randa. I'm worried that he might step out of bounds once he goes back.”
Monica was trembling in fear when left Ying Qingcang's office. Just then, her phone rang. When she noticed that it was Fang Lu, she declined the call in annoyance. On the other hand, Fang Lu had patiently called a few more times before she resorted to sending Monica a text.
Monica did not dare scheme against Fang Lu now. Not because she was afraid of Fang Lu, but because she was afraid that Ying Qingcang might find out that she had deliberately arranged for Fang Lu to approach him. If she did that, then she really might end up being kicked all the way back to England. After going through her options, Monica replied Fang Lu's text. She had to do some placation first.
Xin Qing was not worried about Meyer's confession at all. She saw Meyer as a gentleman, not someone who would resort to doing horrible things just because he was rejected. Of course, that was also partly because she felt that Meyer's feelings for her did not run deep at all. She felt that Meyer merely admired and liked her, and that was it. Otherwise, he would not have confessed to her in such a calm and composed manner. He would not have been able to let go of his feelings right after being rejected. In fact, Xin Qing could see that Meyer had not minded her rejection at all.
That was why she did not turn down Meyer's offer to treat her to a meal a few days after the confession. She even thought there was no need for Ah Che to tag along with her and had asked Ah Che to stay at home to accompany Ah Sha. She told him that she would be riding in Meyer's car. Ah Che disagreed, so Xin Qing told him the place they would be having the meal. They made a deal that if Xin Qing failed to return within two hours, Ah Che would call her phone.
Meyer had wanted to treat Xin Qing to a meal because he was about to leave again. This time, he was leaving for the United States, where the academy had sent him for his one-year internship.
”I heard the studio you'll be interning with is quite famous.” Xin Qing had done some research on the Internet before she came here.
Meyer nodded gleefully. ”It should be said to be the top!” He was obviously in a very good mood; he even ordered champagne!
”Congratulations!” Xin Qing said, raising her glass. ”Who knows you might become a world famous designer in a year!”
Meyer laughed. ”I'd still pale in comparison to you though. I heard that your current design was a special request made by a celebrity?”
”Yeah. From Hollywood.” Xin Qing had seen that actress' movies before. She had made quite an impression on Xin Qing.
”So! You're already a world famous designer now! It's impossible for me to catch up to you!” Meyer said. But all of a sudden, he tensed up. ”Ailey?” He shouted.
Xin Qing turned around and saw Ailey standing behind her, grinning.
”You two are such terrible friends. You're out on a secret date and you didn't even invite me!”
”This isn't a date. Just a meal.” Xin Qing was not too happy with the label that Ailey had used.
Meyer frowned. ”What are you doing here?”
”Can't I just be passing by and just so happen to see you guys?” Ailey sat down without waiting for an invitation. She poured herself some champagne.
Xin Qing was feeling drowsy by the end of the meal. ”I didn't drink that much, did I?” She thought. ”Plus, nobody would get drunk from champagne.” Like her, Meyer was also feeling unwell. Ailey, on the other hand, was looking at them mockingly. ”You guys suck. You'd get drunk just from champagne. Good think I'm here then!”
Ailey took out the keys of Meyer's car from his pockets. ”Come! I'll send you guys home!”
Ah Che had called Xin Qing precisely two hours after she had left. The call went unanswered. When he tried again, he found that her phone had been turned off. Ah Che hopped into the car and hurtled towards the restaurant. When he arrived, the restaurant's waiting staff told him that a woman had brought the two away from the restaurant.
Feeling that something had gone horribly wrong, Ah Che called Ying Qingcang immediately. After that, he called the police.
