Chapter 222 - About to come (1/2)

The man in the room put down the remote after turning off the television.

He was on the highest floor of a high-end hotel in a foreign country. Still, the channels on his television all came from the mainland. It was especially done to match his preferences.

The man reached for his wineglass. He gently twirled the wine inside, slowly tasting every sip. His mind was in deep contemplation.

After a while, the man's voice rang inside this spacious and dimly lit room.

”Call for Gunan.”

”Yes, Master.” A butler stationed in one corner of the room dialed a number. After one ring, a young man's voice sounded in the room.

”Father, I'm listening.”

The man in the room was silent at first, organizing his thoughts. After what appeared as an endless stretch of silence, he finally spoke.

”Were you there?”

”...” Guan Gao Huan gripped his phone tightly.

”No. My grandfather chose my brother—”

”Too bad. A lot of interesting things happened. Your lack of presence there in the scene is disappointing, when the history of the three legendary families is about to change. Tsk. What a waste.” The man, Ming Zhi Yi, clicked his tongue in disappointment. He wished he was there instead. Or at least Lu Jin should have been there.

Oh right. His other son was present.

But still... he was disappointed.

Gao Huan's voice sounded from the other line.

”I am sorry, Father.”

”It's alright. Your value also rises the more your fiancée's value does. It is deserving enough for me to forgive you.”

”...”

”Now, shall we talk about this fiancée of yours? I'm getting really interested in her. You see, she managed to get two percent of that old man's business empire without a single effort. Ha-ha. How savage,” Ming Zhi Yi said while laughing a bit. He really found it funny.

Here he was, a person who meticulously planned and schemed just to get every single penny he had right now in possession. Yet, some people were simply born with a golden spoon in their mouth, grew up with love, blessed to the point that they easily get everything that other people were willing to die for.

Ha-ha. How laughable.

”Unfair, isn't?” Ming Zhi Yi softly asked Gao Huan who stayed silent on the other line.

”...” Gao Huan did not speak. He knew that with this news, this man was definitely feeling annoyed right now.
