Chapter 77 - Is That True, Mr. Li Rong? (2/2)

Still in the car, Wei Wan stared down at the security guards with exacerbation. ”They are definitely making things hard for us.”

Li Rong's forehead wrinkled in consternation. ”Our spies were discovered and kicked out after Lu's blunder. Now we need to come up with a plan to get someone else close to Yue Wan to be our eyes and ears.”

Wei Wan bit her lip as she thought about what they could do: ”Couldn't we ask the Elder for help?”

Li Rong shut his eyes as he leaned comfortably against his seat. ”Only my grandfather can negotiate with them. I have no way of approaching them to ask for anything.”

Li Rong's grandfather detested Wei, and it would be a disaster if he found out that she tagged along to see Yue Wan. His face scrunched up in disdain and anger, recalling her past meeting with Grandfather Li. His grandfather would never accept her as his bride unless Yue Wan disappeared.

Most recently, Li Rong was yelled at by his grandfather when the intimate pictures of their vacation were sent to his family (Ch-58). When he asked Wei Wan about it, she claimed that she knew nothing about it, and she never even told anyone about their vacation. If it was not her, who else could've done it?

While thinking about his situation and how best to resolve the issue, he saw two figures appearing behind the gate. Swiftly, he got out of the car and walked towards the massive steel gate that guarded the Yue family home. Unfortunately for Li Rong, he did not clearly identify the woman that appeared and decided that it has to be Yue Wan. Knowing that she had kept him waiting for so long, Li Rong let go of his temper.

Before even fully seeing her face, Li Rong yelled and stamped his foot. ”Do you know how long I have been waiting at these gates? Who gave you the guts to treat my Li family this way? Yue Wan, you have been acting very rude and disgracefully lately, do you not even put me in your eyes? I even brought you some fascinating gifts and accessories, yet you still keep me waiting. Do you not want them?”

Very quickly, Wei Wan got out of the car and joined Li Rong by the gates, not even looking at Yue Wan. Smiling sweetly, Wei Wan asked: ”How are you feeling, Yue Wan? Is your hand alright? I brought an imported cream to help ease the pain.”

Wei Wan hadn't attended the Yue's Family gathering the other night, and so she couldn't recognize Mrs. Shen in her casual outfit.

Mrs. Shen might appear to be friendly, but appearances were often deceiving. Beneath her friendly smile hid a vicious tigers' rage. With a refined smile, she looked at the couple and asked: ”Are you deaf? I believe Master Yue made it quite clear that the Li's are not welcome in the Yue's family home, and yet, you've shown your ugly face here once again.”

Wei Wan was unable to read Li Rong's expression, and she truly thought that Mrs. Shen was nothing more than a caretaker to Yue Wan.

”You lowly woman, who do you think you are? Huh? He is Yue Wan's boyfriend and future husband. You need to mind your words before you get dismissed for your stupidity.”

Through the corner of her eye, Mrs. Shen caught a glimpse of someone standing by the trees. With a laugh, she asked: ”Is that true, Mr. Li Rong?”

Li Rong's words stumbled, his throat all of a sudden felt dry and uncomfortable. ”I am Yue W---.”

'Splash...Splash!' Out of nowhere, a bucket of dirty water splashed all over Li Rong's body.
