Chapter 93: 1.3.15: The Agreement (II)
They both got quiet after he uttered those words. She stared at him and he stared at her.
Suddenly, before he could react, she harshly pushed him away.
He shuffled away and she brushed off her dress.
"Hasn't your family ruined my life enough already? My reputation is in tatters, my relationship with my good friend is destroyed, and your brother is plain annoying."
She heaved a deep breath and pointed at him with a shaking finger.
"Honestly, you and your family make me sick. Did you think I would let you walk all over me the moment I saw you? I had even forgotten you existed!"
Lies.
That night had been on her mind, haunting her, since the moment she returned.
But she wasn't going to let him know that.
"Why do you hate my family so much?" His expressionless face was cold and it subconsciously made her shiver.
As much confidence as she could muster, she gritted out, "I have my reasons. But as of right now, don't bother me."
Right as she was leaving, his words left her shaking.
"For what? Your silly, idealistic reality that you'll be able to get revenge?"
"How do you know what I want?"
She whispered quietly, not wanting to acknowledge the fact that he had seen right through her.
"Because I want the same thing."
She was shocked. Wasn't he the heir to the limitless Zhou fortune? Why would he want revenge on his own family?
"Don't make me laugh." She dryly scoffed.
Even though she was turned around, Zhou Ming could sense the mockery that was radiating off of her.
"Against one person, matter of fact." He clarified, but panicked when he saw her beginning to walk again.
He knew that this was the only chance that he'd get to explain his plan to her.
"I would hate to be on my opposing side."
The more he spoke, the more he edged closer to her.
Even though she had purposely placed distance between them, he had snaked his way to her again.
The small distance was making her heart beat rapidly, but she still tried to keep her confidence.
"Why? Are you some big bad alpha?"
Picturing him as a silly, 'macho' man made her laugh out loud.
Her laugh eased the tense atmosphere between them and he could only sigh at her childishness.
"I'm serious. Consider our transaction as a business transaction. I can clearly see that you harbor the hatred and clearly are struggling to get even. An enemy of an enemy is my friend. That old bitch will do anything she can to hinder my inheritance. And I'm sure it's so much easier for her to kill you."
He gripped her hand and his emotionless eyes looked directly into her honey-colored ones.
She was contemplating her choices. Her silence urged him to continue as a sinister glint flashed across his eyes.
"Why me?" She quietly mumbled, averting her eyes.
She was starting to get a headache from all the events that were happening.
"Flower, you shouldn't forget that I know who you are."
"I'm sure after this evening, you aren't the only one."
She clenched her fists and remembered what occurred.
"Han Yunhua, the granddaughter of Han Mi. The adopted granddaughter, for clarification."
Xiao Yunhua was shocked.
"H-How do you know about the adoption?"
Han Mi had made sure that it showed that Xiao Yunhua was her biological granddaughter.
As well as she had reached a silent agreement for Xiao Taotao to make sure that it was very difficult for people to figure out that fact.
This aided her plan of avenging her grandmother.
"Because unlike my grandfather, I trust that my grandmother would never have an affair."
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
silentscarlettt
silentscarlettt So...I’m back. I explained in my discord why I was gone for so long, and all I can say is, I’m really sorry for disappearing and disappointing the readers. I have finished this arc and it’s really disappointing... as a writer, I just want to rewrite the whole thing again. But as a reader, I know you guys want new chapters. As well as I will improve the development in the next arc, which actually will no longer be a “grandmaster” arc, it’ll be a surprise.
