61 Set-up (2/2)

”What a coincidence. I never expected to see you here tonight.” Vincent said as he retracted his hand away from Neo.

”This is great! Then there is no introductions

needed. Since both of you are fromXin City High then young master Yuan must already know my niece Elrae.” Mother said.

”Yes. We've met.” Neo said as he meaningfully glanced at me.

”Good evening Mr. Yuan.” I said in a calm tone of voice.

Neo moved closer to me in attempt for a friendly hug as a greeting which elites usually do during parties but I swiftly moved sideways to avoid him. I am now standing beside Vincent. Neo didn't​ seem to mind my rudeness for he gave me a slight smile before offering his hand for a hand shake. I gracefully shook hands with him, but when I was about to retract my hand his grip on me tightened. Fadjie bar! Can he not do this in front of my family??!! I smiled at him before saying ”Mr. Yuan seems to like my hand a lot for he is unwilling to let go.” I sarcastically told him as Iforcefully pulled my hand away from his grip.

Neo finally let go of my hand. ”Indeed, Ms. Elrae's hand is good. Very good. Please call me Neo. I will be delighted to hear my name being called by such a fine woman like you.”

Ugh!! This guy is shameless! How can he say such perverted remarks in front of my family?! Why not be a gentleman and let the beautiful me have a peaceful evening!?

My mother coughed lightly gaining the attention of the people inside the room. Well except father, everyone in the room turned their heads to look at my mom. She have a slight smile on her face as she said ”Come on children. Let's take our seats, I personally helped in cooking tonight's dinner.”

Vincent worriedly glanced at me as he guided my mother towards her seat. My brother actedlike a very accommodating host as he guided Neo towards a vacant seat. I took a deep breath before following them.

I do not know how this happened but in such a huge table how come I ended in a seat between Vincent and Neo?? Come on! This is a frame up! A very bad set up! Why am I seated between the two men whom I did not even want to meet at the time being?!

I glared at my brother who is seated opposite me. He only winked at me in response to my murderous glare. Qian Tan!! You are so dead after tonight!
