Chapter 184
Chapter 184
Big Brother Qian's son was a man in his midthirties who ran errands for his father, so he was not one to mix with this bunch. The other was Shawn Hu's son, who was said to have joined a special task force, so he wasn't one to belong to the crowd either.
Therefore, those two hotshots aside, Haldon Guo, the Master Guo was next in line on the list of iconic figures in Hanover City. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
Master Guo would be arriving anytime now. Yuri Zhang, who was directly involved in an altercation with Master Guo; and Fade Chen, who had beat him into a pulp were still here. Even more so, all of them had gotten their way because she'd invited them.
The thought of it made Chessca Tan's face turn pale as she started to panic.
Her initial intentions were to build rapport with Momo Soo in order to stand a chance of collaborating with the Soo Family. But, Chessca Tan would never sacrifice herself to piss off the local Guo Family just for Momo Soo who lived far in the south.
Chessca Tan's face darkened in an instant, and she said to Momo Soo, "Momo, why
didn't you tell me straight off the bat that you had offended Master Guo?!"
Momo Soo answered her angrily, "What does it have anything to do with you?"
"Of course it has everything to do with me! You people have crossed Master Guo, and now he's coming over. If you guys were to come face-to-face, he'll blame me for sure." Chessca Tan said again, panicked and infuriated, "Momo Soo, I look to you as a friend, and I invited you to a dinner like this, but you're making me your victim. How could you?"
Momo Soo was so angry that she was about to burst into flames, she contradicted without even thinking twice, "A friend? You have got to be kidding me. You're saying that the reason of your
invitation for me to Hanover City, was merely for a trip, and not because you wanted to butter up to me? It was because you heard that I came from the Soo Family and you wanted to do business with my family. Would you still extend the invite then, had you not known that I was related to them?"
"Besides, I didn't want to come here at all. It was you who'd insisted that we come. You're turning the blame on me now, because you're scared." Momo Soo snorted coldly and said, "Chessca Tan, I knew you were petty, and I also knew of you as a snob, but I never knew that you were so shameless."
Chessca Tan was so angry that her face had turned red as a tomato. She growled, "Momo Soo, I took you around, treating you to every meal. But what you're saying to me now, you..."
"Good for you! Is it money that you want? I can compensate you with ten times the price right now." Momo Soo was in a blood-boiling rage, she wasn't about to back down either.
Right at this second, the man who had shouted moments ago spoke again, "Master Guo is only one kilometer away. Get ready, guys. Let's welcome Master Guo together."
The atmosphere was suddenly passionate again. Some people even rushed out of the room to give him a warm welcome along his way here. Anyone could tell that this Master Guo's existence was more than a mere legend in Hanover City.
Chessca Tan, who had heard this, was beyond angry and anxious that she couldn't care less anymore. She tried to push Momo Soo away and said, "All of you, get out through the back door. Quick, don't let Master Guo see you, or I'll be in trouble."
Momo Soo pushed Chessca Tan's hand away unapologetically and snorted coldly, "You want us to go? Sure, but we're leaving through the front entrance. You cowards may be fearful of Master Guo, but we're not."
Momo Soo and her gang were about to step out of the room as she announced their departure. At the same time, the bustling crowd outside were sparking up a commotion, as Master Guo's ride could vaguely be seen from a distance. At this rate, the gang was bound to encounter Master Guo on their way out.
Seeing this, Chessca Tan was so anxious that her eyes were about to go up in flames. All she wanted to do was to pull them back into the room.
Somewhere among the red-dressed woman's group, a faint smile crept up the face of the tall and handsome young man as he said to Chessca Tan, "Chessca Tan, there's no need to panic. It's not as bad as it looks."
"Master Xu..." Chessca Tan turned towards the man to look at him, her eyes were doubtful yet expectant. The man's name was Mikael Xu, and he was also a member of the rich and powerful of Hanover City. Though his status may have been a little lower than Master Guo's, it was way higher than Chessca Tan's.
Mikael Xu smiled confidently and said, "Master Guo and I are close. I figured that he would honor me if I were to explain the situation to him, and everything will go back to normal once the misunderstanding is resolved."
Chessca Tan couldn't hide the joy on her face as she thanked him over and over again, "Thank you, Master Xu. Thank you very much. If there's anything that I can do for Master Xu in the future, the Tan Family will be glad to return the favor."
"It's not that serious." Mikael Xu smirked, shaking his head lightly. He stole a glance at Momo Soo with a glimmer in his eyes and said, "The girl, Momo Soo, is she your Junior?"
Chessca Tan was dazed, but she immediately caught on to what he had meant when she saw the look on Mikael Xu's face. It looks like Master Xu had taken a fancy to Momo Soo.
As a response, Chessca Tan answered immediately, "She's my Junior in her first year from South Bay City. Her family's considered quite well-off, they run their own business. If Master Xu is interested, I can go talk to her."
She paused for a while, before her eyes turned cold as she said heartlessly in a low whisper, "If Master Xu is in a rush, there's always drugs. Consider it done tonight."
Mikael Xu only smiled, shook his head and said, "She's a fiesty one, that's interesting. We can take it slow. It's no hurry."
"Then, Master Xu..." Chessca Tan looked at Mikael Xu expectantly.
Mikael Xu offered himself and said, "Take me there. I'll talk to them about settling the misunderstanding with Master Guo."
Chessca Tan was overcome with joy as she led the way for Mikael Xu, flattering him along the way, "Momo will be so grateful to you! She'll definitely shed tears of gratitude, and even be willing to sacrifice herself for you if she were to know that Master Xu offered to assist them in solving this problem of theirs."
Mikael Xu was silent, but the smile on his face had betrayed him, exposing him of his proud ego then and there.
Fade Chen and the gang, on the other hand, found themselves being squished at the door due to the impending welcome party for Master Guo. In turn, it didn't take long for Chessca Tan and Mikael Xu to catch up to them.
Chessca Tan shouted from behind her, "Momo Soo."
Momo Soo turned her head, displeased as she said, "I thought you're afraid? What are you doing here then? Aren't you scared that Master Guo might see you?"
Chessca Tan's face burned upon hearing the sarcasm in her voice, but she quickly came back to her senses at the thought of more serious dealings at hand. She forced a smile on her face as she said, "Momo, this is Master Xu, Mikael Xu. He's good friends with Master Guo, and he's willing to offer to resolve the misunderstanding between you and the master."
The three of them were a little flabbergasted as they set their eyes on Master Xu. Above all, he belonged to the same group as the red-robed woman who'd dishonored Yuri Zhang just moments ago, so it was a little suspicious that he'd offered to lend a hand in the situation.
Mikael Xu right now was smiling politely, and with his gaze fixed on Momo Soo, he said, "I'm just seeking to get acquainted with Miss Momo."
The look they gave and the words they said meant otherwise. It only took one look from Fade Chen before he immediately understood what was really going on.
Instantaneously, Momo Soo snorted and said, "That's not necessary. We can handle this on our own."
Mikael Xu was stunned. Obviously, he didn't think that she would refuse his offer.
