章 19: Say Hello to your pretty sister.
Rong was bored mindless, she had been swallowing too many yawns already. No matter how hard she tried to steer the conversation her way Yun kept returning it to Lijuan which pissed the hell out of her.
"So does Lijuan know you are here?" Yun asked her again.
He could tell she was bored already but he didn't care. The moment she had tried speaking ill of her sister to him he had decided she wasn't worth his time but he could only remain there because of his mother. She wanted a date? Well, here was it!
"No. I came straight from the office." Rong said with a stiff smile.
"You're not very close to her, are you?" He asked but she simply shrugged.
Rong could only hope that the Paparazzi she had contacted to capture pictures of them both had done a good job else her entire afternoon would be a total waste.
Since he was going to talk about her sister she would just as well play along until this nightmare she called a date ended. She wasn't going to give up, she would just have to think up more effective ways to get through to him.
"So how long have you been dating Lijuan?" She asked with a pleasant smile just in case the Paparazzi was watching.
Yun looked at her suspiciously. Firstly, she knew they were both 'dating' so why was she still there? Secondly, he wondered what the pen thief was still telling her family about him for them to believe they were really a thing.
Well, he could only play along to get rid of this one. He actually did prefer the Pen thief to this one in front of him.
"Since I returned to the country." He said thinking back to the day he had seen her at the jewelry shop.
"Really? Where did you meet her?" Rong asked sincerely curious. She couldn't imagine where Lijuan could have easily met a man like Yun.
"A Jewelry shop. We were both shopping for Jewelry." He said as his lips twitched in amusement at the thought of it, he had actually been shopping while she was stealing.
Rong didn't miss the smile on his face and frowned even more.

Jiaying looked through her wardrobe for something simple and sexy... Her eyes finally settled on a short black sleeveless gown which clung to her figure perfectly revealing her curves. The gown was low cut enough to reveal her cleavages. She stood by the mirror and let loose her hair before applying nude lipstick on her lips. She admired herself in the mirror for a while before nodding her head in approval. She had heard the new neighbor was moving in today and she had also heard it was a man. She had to go check the neighbors out. Who knew? She just might be lucky. She had to beat her sisters and mother to it, Since their mother was out and she was home alone with Lijuan, she had to make the first move.
Lijuan already had a date and she was pretty sure Rong was already working up something, she also had to step up.
She quickly picked the basket of fruits she had asked one of the maids to prepare before stepping outside.
"Are you going somewhere?" The driver asked when he saw her approaching the car with the basket.
"Yes. I just need to drop this for the new neighbor." She told him before getting into the car.
Five minutes later she arrived at the house and rung the bell.
Jinhai rolled his eyes when he checked the security video and saw a young lady holding a basket of fruits on one hand and adjusting her gown to make her cleavage more visible with the other hand.
'Women..' He shook his head before opening the door.
"Hello!" Jiaying said with a cheerful smile when she actually saw a man open the door but immediately paused when she thought he looked familiar.
"Aren't you.... you are... Wang Jinhai?" She asked with bulging eyes.
Jinhai smiled when he heard her. He didn't know he was so popular amongst ladies he didn't know. But he wasn't so giddy about it because he knew the only reason ladies easily recognized him was because they had checked online for 'Wang Motors Sons' with the hope of getting information about his elder brother but fortunately or unfortunately, he also appears there.
"Hi. I guess you brought this for us. Thanks." Jinhai said with a polite smile as he reached out to take the basket from her.
"Oh my God! It's really you" She said while trying not to sound overly excited.
"Did your entire family move in here or just you?" She asked trying to look past him into the house while still holding on to the basket.
"Do I know you?" Jinhai asked her with a frown. He didn't like her attitude one bit. She behaved like those clingy girls who pissed him off.
"Pardon my manners, I'm Mei Jiaying. Last daughter of Chairman Mei." She said while stretching out her hand for a handshake.
"Mei?" Jinhai paused for a while to recall her sister's name. "Lijaun.. yes.. that pretty lady is your sister right?" He asked with a pleasant smile.
Fate was really bringing her and his brother together.
Jiaying frowned when she heard him. What did he mean by 'pretty lady's sister?'
"Yes." She answered reluctantly.
"It's nice meeting you. I'm Jinhai and if you don't mind I'll like to return inside. I'm kind of busy."
"I could assist you if you want..." Jiaying said with a coy smile.
"That won't be necessary. It's nice meeting you Miss. If you'll excuse me.." He said turning to leave. She had refused to let go of the basket of fruits and he wasn't really interested in chatting much with her.
"Uhm, The fruits" She said extending the basket.
"Thanks. But... I'll pass. And please say Hello to your pretty sister for me." He said shutting the door in her face.
Jiaying shrieked angrily before returning to the car after looking around to make sure no one had witnessed her embarrassment.
*********
Lijuan smiled when she saw her best friend's call. Why was Shan calling her again so soon? For someone who hadn't bothered to call her for over a week it was funny that she was calling her twice within 24 hours.
"Babe? Have you seen the news?" Shan asked immediately the call connected.
"What news are you talking about? You know I hardly follow up with it." Lijuan said while sitting up.
"I thought as much. There's a picture of Rong and Yun online. What's going on?" Shan asked.
"Rong and Yun? Like... Wang Yun?" She asked in surprise.
"Yes. Vice President Wang Yun of Wang Motors!" Shan confirmed it.
"I'll talk to you later." Lijuan said before disconnecting the call to go search for the pictures online.
Truly, their pictures were there. She hadn't even bothered to search before it popped up.
She could see them both sitting inside a fancy restaurant while her sister was smiling at him.
What was wrong with the prude? If he liked Rong so much why couldn't he have waited just long enough for her to return his pen and get someone else before going out with Rong? She really hoped he hadn't told Rong anything. Nothing would annoy her more than watching Rong gloat for days.
The more she looked at the picture, the angrier she got.
Well, now that he was going out with her sister she would just have to focus on her plan B immediately. She decided before picking up her phone to respond to Yanju's message.
"Okay. I'll be your girlfriend." She typed.
Yanju who had kept his phone beside him all day waiting for her response quickly responded. "Why did it take you so long?"
"It's not like a real relationship right?" She decided to ask while skipping his question.
"Why? Do you have any reservations? I thought you came here to search for a rich boyfriend?" Yanju asked.
"I'm actually not looking for a serious relationship, just someone to present to my family sort of relationship." Lijuan quickly explained.
"That's exactly what I want as well." Yanju told her with a happy emoticon.
Now that she had what she wanted, Yun could go to hell for all she cared, she would ensure everyone believed she had been the one to end things with him. She wasn't going to allow neither him nor Rong humiliate her.
She quickly exited the app and dialled Yun's number.
