To Love You Again

Chapter 715 - Their Missions

While Linfeng went to get non-alcoholic drinks for Xiong Zhi and Old Xiong, Old Xiong harrumphed at the side.

"That Linfeng is very capable. He just recently started his endeavour, yet he has already caught Mr. Finch's eyes."

"Are you acquainted with him, Grandpa?"

"We are not close, because we don't have reasons to be. It doesn't mean that I do not keep an eye on him though. Mr. Finch is indeed a very excellent man, but also very dangerous."

"Dangerous, you say..."

"He is a man who has deep roots in the underworld. You should warn that butler of yours to be careful around him."

Xiong Zhi hummed lightly.

Linfeng had already told her about Mr. Finch's identity as the hidden Lord. Strangely, this hidden Lord wanted Linfeng to become his stand-in until his son was ready to become a Lord and succeed his position.

Xiong Zhi shrugged her shoulders casually.

She accepted the v_i_r_g_i_n c_o_c_ktail offered by Linfeng. She smiled at him who sat down next to her.

Although Linfeng came as her butler, as an invited guest, he naturaly did not need to stand on the sides.

"Linfeng is also very capable." She toasted with Linfeng. "He already knew about Mr. Finch's background. But thank you for your concern, Grandpa."

Linfeng smiled and simply listened.

Old Xiong: "I am not concerned about him, humph. Just don't let yourself be dragged onto some troublesome matters. You should leave those things to your grandfather."

Xiong Zhi smiled and said nothing.

She could not promise this to her grandfather, because she was already diving in deep waters.

A few tables away from the Xiong family's table was the Tang family.

Their topic was about the new companion whom Mistress Tang brought with her, Tang Yin.

"Mistress Tang, I never thought that you were hiding such a lovely granddaughter. I heard that she is highly accomplished in the classical music circles. I also have a son around her age who is interested in music. He is capable, talented, and handsome..."

"If we are talking about Mistress Tang's prospective grandson-in-law, then my grandson is definitely the best candidate. He is well-trained to handle the family since young. Alas, even though he is talented, he cannot inherit the family business because of his eldest cousin..."

"What a complicated family. My son is still better in all aspects. He is proficient in the piano and is hard working in financial management..."

The guests were all smiling and speaking in a refined manner, but under these dignified appearances, they kept fighting about the prospects of Tang Yin's marriage.

Because there still had been no mention of Tang Yin's or Tang Xinyang's future fianc��s, the guests who approached their table all attempted to talk about this.

The two young and talented women were both at the marriageable age. Mistress Tang herself was not getting any younger.

To them, this was an irresistibly delicious pie.

Tang Yin smiled at them as if attentively listening to their gibberish. However, her attention was actually focused on the next table.

She had already approached Eitan deliberately earlier in a natural manner, but the man was unresponsive.

At first, when he saw her, she quickly saw the delight and fascination in his eyes. She had been very confident after seeing his obvious interest in her. The interested gaze of that man never left her, until the moment she sat down on her reserved seat at the Tang's family table.

The man suddenly had a horrified look on his face and looked away.

Afterwards, Tang Yin tried to walk past his table slowly several times, waiting for the l_u_s_tful man to hit on her, but the man did not even glance at her again.

Tang Yin smiled gently at the people on front of her. Her fingers absentmindedly tightened on the c_o_c_ktail glass.

What went wrong?!

Why was he no longer even looking at her?

She checked her appearance twice! She was definitely gorgeous! A total goddess!

"...Fufu, everyone surely likes to jest. My granddaughter is getting shy now. Let's stop now before she bolts away to hide. I am sure those charming gentlemen are all promising, but let's give them face. I'm sure they are feeling embarrassed now��"

"Mistress Tang, you are too kind��"

"Let's leave this to the next generation. My granddaughters are the ones who will choose their own fianc��s. Let them have their own time to figure it out. My granddaughters are both the romantic kind, aren't you, Yin'er?"

Tang Yin who was suddenly called out, "Yes?"

Mistress Tang: "...."

She sighed. This silly granddaughter of hers kept glancing at the next table. She might as well help this kid with whatever she was intending to do.

Mistress Tang gently pushed her granddaughter's back.

"Just go on your own and make yourself comfortable. Young ones should mingle more and explore."

Tang Yin got her grandmother's hint. Her eyes shone.

She thanked her grandmother internally and stood up. She excused herself and walked gracefully by the table beside theirs.

She imperceptibly glanced at Eitan's table and his father. She then saw someone coming towards her direction. Before the man turned to another table, she made a big step to 'avoid' the incoming man and pretended to almost trip accidentally.

Her elbow hit Eitan's head as she attempted to straight herself.

"Ouch! Hey!"

Eitan angrily whipped his head towards the rude person who hit him.

Tang Yin acted surprised.

The man who passing by was also stunned. He thought it was his fault and profusely apologized. "I am sorry, my lady. Are you hurt?"

Tang Yin shook her head. "I am alright."

After making sure that she was not hurt, the man apologized again and finally left.

Tang Yin turned to Eitan apologetically and sighed. "I am so sorry. I didn't mean to hit you. I tried to avoid him and I lost my balance. I hope you can forgive me."

Her eyes blinked innocently, but the drunken makeup made her look flirtatious.

Eitan was stunned for a moment.

It was the hot chick at the Tang's table!

"Oh, it is okay. I am sorry, too. I didn't mean to shout."

"No need to apologize. I know it is my fault. What to do, I think I have hit you with my arm too hard. Shall I call the medic for you?" She put her hand on her mouth and appeared to look worried.

Eitan touched his head. There was no swelling at all.

However, seeing the beautiful woman who just perfectly hit all his good spots appearing to be troubled by this, he felt that it was a waste to let this go.

Even though she was a Tang, this beautiful woman was definitely different from the other hot chick whom he had offended before. She looked like a bombshell, but a bit naive.

His itch was tickled.

Maybe he could play around here a bit.

"Ahem," Eitan's voice became lower and husky. "There is no need for trouble. But if the beautiful lady is still troubled by it, then, can you accompany me for a drink instead?"

Tang Yin's eyes lit up. She immediately concealed her happiness. She held her cheek a bit shyly.

"Sure. Actually, my table is right next to yours. Do you want to come by and have a chat with me before the event starts?"

There was only around ten minutes before the start of the event.

Eitan glanced at his father. His father was still busy with the other important guests, talking about business matters.

He reached out for Tang Yin's hand and kissed its back.

"It is my p_l_e_a_s_u_r_e."

He followed Tang Yin with a charming smile and l_u_s_tful eyes.

Tang Yin glanced at Xiong Zhi's table with a triumphant look.

Look at me! I have successfully baited the target!

However, what she saw only made her grit her teeth.

That ruthless woman was not looking at her but flirting with her big brother instead!

Tang Yin glared at Xiong Zhi's side.

Just when she was glaring, her eyes accidentally met Lu Yin Ze. The Lu family's table was just behind the Xong family's.

Lu Yin Ze accidentally glanced at her. His silver-blue eyes caught her glaring expression.

His lips rose up in a mocking smirk before he continued speaking with other guests.

Tang Yin: (^_^)

��[email?protected]#$&�����?.

Dang. She wanted to ask herself, why was she doing this again?

Ah, yeah, for these annoying people.

She turned around and smiled sweetly to Eitan. "Do you like scotch?"
