The Devil’s love

"Okay so this is what she was talking about."

Ning frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" ​​

"After the function, Ziying called me and was blabbing about something which I was too tired to figure out but I did hear something like big sister, engagement, break up and she was freaking out because she thought you would hate her for what her sister was doing." Without waiting for her reply, Nuying added, "She was really scared and you know what Ning, like you and your stupid sister are so different from each other, even Ziying is very different. I mean she is sweet, nice, helpful, kind and she fangirls you like crazy."

Ning sighed and nodded her head, "Well, I guess I am just being paranoid."

"I guess and–" Nuying stopped midway when her phone beeped.

Widening her eyes in shock, she groaned in frustration, "It's Ziying, she is waiting outside my place. I was supposed to meet her today but I forgot."

"Why don't you call her here?" Ning suggested.

"Here? Really? Will that be okay?"

"Of course tell her not to go anywhere, I'll ask Yi to send someone to fetch her."

…..

Thirty-minutes later.

"You told me that it would be a quicky Guiren," Meili hissed.

Shrugging his shoulders, Guiren answered, "Well, it was supposed to be quick but then things got all intense when you started making sexy noises."

"Shut up, we are late because of you and your sexual desires," she snapped.

"Honey don't say that, my desires are solely for you and you provoke it all the time."

"It's not my fault that you get a hard on even when I say that I am feeling hot," she yelled without realizing that a bunch of people were staring at them.

Turning towards Ning, Yichan grinned, "I told you Guiren is the most horny one amongst all of us."

"Pervert is the correct word I guess," Turning towards Meili, Ning raised her brows, "You are so late."

"I am so sorry Ning, it's all Guirens fault," Walking towards her, Meili added, "I make the mashed potatoes very fast."

"Alright, I'll help you."

"Thank you—" Meili stopped midway when she saw a new person. Looking at Ziying, she said, "Okay, you are new but why do I feel like I have seen you somewhere."

Ziying smiled and said, "Because you did meet me at Mrs Yang wedding banquet."

"You can call me Ning, you don't have to be so formal," Turning towards Yichan, Ning continued, "I'll be in the kitchen and I'll call everyone over after dinner is ready okay?"

When Yichan nodded his head, the girls left leaving the boys behind.

….

Kitchen.

Chopping the scallions, Meili informed, "Ning, I received a call from Mr Weilong and he wants to meet you again tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? We just met today," Ning frowned.

"Don't mind me interrupting but are you guys talking about Mr Weilong of the Jiang corporation?" When Meili nodded her head, Ziying raised her brows and added, "Wow, he volunteered for a second meeting personally? Wow that is awesome."

"What do you mean?" Ning inquired.

"I mean Mr Weilong is usually a very aloof kind of a person and he never personally handles projects. Even if he does, his secretary or his son attends the meeting." Without waiting for anyone's reply, Ziying added, "I don't if this is true or not but my dad told me that Mr Weilong's identity has always been a secret. Though he was the CEO of Jiang Corporation but he isn't related to the Jiang family by blood and his son also doesn't go by the surname Jiang which is also very suspicious."

Ning frowned and asked, "His son is handling the company now, right?"

Ziying nodded her head and said, "Yes, Mr Weilong stopped handling company matters after his son took over."

"Do you know anything about Valique?" Ning asked.

Ziying's eyes brightened at the mention of the most wanted and admired piece of land. "Who doesn't know Valique? It's like a dream land. Father tried so hard to get the land a few years back but couldn't. But he did get the news a few years ago that someone bought the land at a very low price. The owner willingly gave it away at a very low rate and that is very strange."

Meili smiled and said, "Wow Ziying, you seem to know a lot."

"Well, I am just learning everything from my father step by step. We don't have a brother you know and my elder sister isn't interested in business while my youngest sister is still in highschool so it's just me. I don't want my father to feel pressured over anything so I decided to help him out," Ziying explained.

Placing her hand on Ziyings shoulder, Ning smiled, "You are doing great and I am sure that your father is proud of you."

Looking at Ziyings expressions, Nuying chuckled, "It's okay Ziying, you can squeal if you want to."

"Aahhhhhh," jumping in excitement, Ziying said, "You have no idea how much this means to me. Now I feel like I can do anything, this feels so great."

Leaning towards Ning, Meili chuckled, "So she is really your fangirl."

"I think she is nice," Ning smiled.

"I think you should be careful while dealing with Mr Weilong, I really doubt his intention is only to make this project a success. I also think you should ask Yichan to do some investigation, it's better to be safe than sorry," Meili had her own suspicion when Mr Weilong called her personally. It wasn't only suspicious but also weird. When she asked him what

he wanted to discuss, he hesitated for a while before telling her that it was for the project.

"Yi already told me that Mr Weilong is a nice man but I'll still ask him to find out a few things. Let's meet him tomorrow and see what he wants first," Though Ning found it weird too, she wanted to meet him once more before involving Yichan.
