Chapter 802 - Two Women Fighting for a Man

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

“So what if I know? In the end, he is just a stinking soldier. Even if he could make it as an officer, would he be able to provide for you? Look at what you have been eating and using. Which of it could he afford in the future?”

As a mother, she just hoped that her daughter could marry well. As a father, he wouldn’t want her daughter to have a drop in living standards after getting married. “This brat isn’t reliable. You might like him now and I understand that getting into relationship is the freedom of young people. Therefore, I won’t interfere. However, you still have a long future. As your father, I have the responsibility to tell you that you should keep an open mind and not be disillusioned by what you like for the moment. There’s a difference between like and love.”

Gu Li rubbed her head. This was painful. “Dad! What are you talking about? I haven’t even thought about it that far yet!” Gu Li had a little headache now. If she knew this would happen, she would have dated in secret.

“I’m not worried about you. What I’m worried is that he would think too much about this.” said her father sternly as he placed his arms behind his body.

At this moment, Cai Yingmeng returned with low spirits. He smiled embarrassingly and said,” Uncle, aunt, I couldn’t get a place here. There is a meeting going on coincidentally and they aren’t accepting walk-in customers.”

Cai Yingmeng had originally slipped out from the celebratory banquet. He had not expected the Ai Family to be so savage and booked the whole place.

“How could you not be able to get even a seat? Looking at how you are, others would obviously not allow you to reserve a seat. Go and tell them the Bohao Organisation wants to make a reservation and it would be fine. I had already told you before we came that we had membership in this place.”

Cai Yingmeng wiped away his sweat. He really wanted to leave a good impression in front of his girlfriend’s parents.

“Forget it! We would just go in directly. We shouldn’t have allowed him to go in first in the first place.” Gu Yinsi shook his head and took huge strides towards the hotel and walked at the front.

Cai Yingmeng was feeling a little helpless. However, Gu Li stuck out her tongue at him. That cute expression made everything worthwhile and he really liked that cute look.

“I’m sorry. I’m the only daughter in the family. I hope you can understand.” said Gu Li secretly beside Cai Yingmeng’s ears.

“I can understand.”

Cai Yingmeng was outstanding but he was a talent only when it came to supporting. He wasn’t arrogant and came from an ordinary family. Therefore, he had a level of mental preparation for such encounters. However, the love between teenagers was often sweet. With a few whispers and holding of hands, everything would have been forgotten.

When the four of them had just entered the hotel, they were greeted courteously by the hall manager.

“Is there still any room? For the Bohao Organisation.”

Gu Yinsi took out the organisation’s membership card in Emmonton Hotel.

“My dear members, I’m really sorry about today.”

“If there’s no more room, an ordinary seat would be fine too. We are just going to have a meal and have a chat.”

“Actually, there is an important meeting currently going on in this hotel for these few days and the whole hotel has been booked.”

“Are you joking? How big a place would the meeting need? It was clear that there is still a lot of space!”

The wife of Gu Yinsi wasn’t very happy about it. If it was any other time, she would have just left. However, this would be too shameful in front of her daughter’s boyfriend.

Gu Yinsi frowned. Just when he wanted to say something, he suddenly felt his heart skipped a beat. He recalled that it should be Ai Financial Group’s annual reporting meeting where various heads from various major galaxies would return to Hail Cloud Alliance one after another based on their ranks to report on their progress. All of them would have been arranged to stay in the Emmonton hotel.

“If that’s the case, let’s forget it. It would be fine if we just change to another location.” Gu Yinsi said quickly. Although he was the CEO of a company, his company couldn’t be compared with the Ai Financial Group. To put it bluntly, it would be similar to comparing scrap metal with an interstellar warship.

Forget it? His wife was taken aback for a moment. She wasn’t happy but she was still a smart person. From the eyes of her husband, she could deduce the hidden message. After quickly saying a few other words, she stopped talking.

“I’m really sorry about affecting your plans. These are some discount vouchers of the hotel to express our apologies.”

The hall manager still showed them great respect. He had bowed down and was trying to offer compensatory gifts constantly. After all, they were still members. Although it was of the most ordinary class, he wasn’t careless in the way he treated them.

“Ah, isn’t this uncle Gu Yinsi, aunt and Gu Li? Hehe. It’s been a long time since we met.” Suddenly, a bold voice sounded from behind them. “Why are you all standing around here?”

The Gu Yinsi couple’s eyes immediately lit up. “Hehe, how are you Hermitte?”

As they spoke, the couple secretly nudged Gu Li with their elbows.

Hermitte was one of the few teenagers that they admired and the scale of his family’s company was equivalent to 10 Bohao Organisations. If her daughter’s boyfriend was him, she wouldn’t be worried that she would be disadvantaged like now.

Gu Li frowned. She nodded her head gently at Hermitte and considered that as greeting Hermitte. Cai Yingmeng smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand to Hermitte. “Hi.”

Hermitte’s gaze lingered on the extended right hand of Cai Yingmeng for two seconds. Just when Cai Yingmeng wanted to retract his hand embarrassingly, he quickly extended his hand and shook it. It was clear that he was putting up an attitude that showed that he was way above Cai Yingmeng. “Gu Li, he is?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“My...”

“A friend.” The wife of Gu Yinsi quickly said as she disrupted her daughter words.

“Hehe, Bowa, why didn’t you let them in?” Hermitte seemed to be very familiar with this place.

“Mr Hermitte, please pardon my rude behaviour. Because of the meeting, we would not be able to accept any other guests other than those who had made a reservation.”

The hall manager, Bowa, tried to explain again. Hermitte was a gold-class member and his treatment would definitely be different. Moreover, he had made a reservation in advance.

“So that was the case. Hmm. Uncle and aunt, today might be a little troublesome. If it wasn’t because I have an invitation, I would likely not be able to enter too.” As he said, Hermitte was fiddling with an invitation that had a retro-looking border on it. On top of the invitation, it was the badge of the Ai Financial Group and it seemed extremely exquisite.

He could get in while the others could only panic in vain outside. This was a representation of his status as his gaze move across Gu Li’s face. He couldn’t help but felt satisfied about it.

“If that’s the case, I’m sorry about it. Excuse me, I’ll be going in first.”

Gu Yinsi wasn’t looking well. He knew that Hermitte had wooed his daughter previously. At that time, he still felt that Hermitte was just hanging around without ambition and wasn’t deserving of his daughter. He also wasn’t shrewd and only had a good family background. He turned and looked at Cai Yingmeng. Sigh... On the other hand, this Yingmeng didn’t even have a good family background. On second look, this kid did not have any temper and didn’t look like an elite at all!

His wife was feeling even more bottled up. She was also unhappy about the attitude of the other party. He wasn’t showing respect for the elders at all.

Hermitte smirked and just when he was about to leave, a voice sounded from the side suddenly. “Cai Yingmeng! You are back?!”

Cai Yingmeng turned around. The one who was calling him was Snow Li. Beside her, there were Wang Zheng and Ai Xiaolu. The sudden appearance of the two girls, one in black while the other in white, was truly a little glaring. Even though she was a girl too, Gu Li also felt inferior in comparison. Although she didn’t know who the other party was, her background wouldn’t be ordinary.

Cai Yingmeng couldn’t help but blushed. He was a little embarrassed that his fellow students had seen such a scene.

“Brat, where have you been? Everyone is present. How could you be absent?” laughed Wang Zheng.

When the Gu Yinsi couple saw Ai Xiaolu, they were in awe. Other might not recognise her but how would they not recognise her!

The missy of the Ai Family.

The future leader of the Ai Financial Group!

Hermitte’s jaws dropped. He forced a smile on his face immediately and quickly walked up. “Miss Ai, I’m...”

Ai Xiaolu blinked her eyes. She had seen a little of what happened previously. Clearly, she wouldn’t be friendly now. She asked Cai Yingmeng,” Yingmeng, is this guy your friend?”

Clearly, her tone indicated that she didn’t want to get to know this guy. The truth was that student Ai didn’t have a good temper.

Cai Yingmeng opened his mouth. He shook his head and replied,” I didn’t get the chance to know him yet.”

“Oh. If that’s the case, could you excuse yourself away.” said Ai Xiaolu without any hesitation.

Wang Zheng smiled as the three of them walked passed Hermitte, who had turned into stone, directly. “Cai Yingmeng, you have finally arrived. Those who are late would be penalised with alcohol later!”

“Cough...” Cai Yingmeng rubbed his head. “Let me introduce each other. My friends, this is Mr Gu Yinsi, his wife and Gu Li. This is Wang Zheng, Snow Li and Ai Xiaolu, my classmates...” introduced Cai Yingmeng.

The Gu Yinsi couple had a shock. They had heard from their daughter something about the Elite Academy in Inner Roland but didn’t have any concepts about it. If it wasn’t because that the name of Inner Roland was still rather well known, they wouldn’t have even come. They had not expected even Ai Xiaolu would be in that school. What kind of school was it?

What kind of person was Ai Xiaolu? She understood the situation quickly after looking around and revealed a smile. She had seen this type of people too frequently. However, she would want to help and support Cai Yingmeng no matter what now.

“Student Yingmeng, she must be your girlfriend. Don’t be embarrassed, you are the pride of our Academy but have been too low profile. Great, let’s invite your girlfriend to come with us!”

Instantly, the Gu Yinsi couple revealed a brilliant smile. “Xiao Li, go and have fun with your friends. It’s okay if you return a little later.”

Was this a joke? If they had the chance to get to know the Missy of the Ai Family, it would be equivalent to having a layer of protective charms. The Ai Financial Group’s momentum recently had been getting stronger. Even if they wanted to suck up to them, they didn’t have the opportunity to.

The hall manager who was standing at one side was on the verge of breaking into tears. My dear ancestors, if you knew the missy of the Ai Family, you should have said so earlier. At this point, he quickly came over and briefed Ai Xiaolu about the situation softly.

“So that’s what had happened. Exchange Mr Gu Yinsi’ membership card for a platinum card. I have some understanding of the Bohao Organisation previously and its potential wasn’t bad.” said Ai Xiaolu in a brief manner and a platinum card, which was something others would fight fiercely for, was gifted away.

“Daughter, go with your friends and have fun. We will be going home directly later. You don’t need to worry about us.” Gu Yinsi was also feeling a little suffocated and couldn’t be bothered with where her daughter would be going to have fun. He pulled his wife along and followed the hall manager to exchange the membership card directly.

As for Hermitte, he was panicking. He didn’t know if he should go up or leave. In his mind, the phrase ‘platinum card’ keep lingering around his thoughts

As for Wang Zheng and Snow Li, they took a look at each other and smiled. Snow Li held on to Wang Zheng’s arm and didn’t seem to have the intention to let go. After going through so many things, she was more resolute about her thoughts.

Ai Xiaolu couldn’t take it anymore. “Could the two of you don’t be so lovey dovey in front of me. It is mean to agitate the person who is single!”

Wang Zheng didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. “Student Xiaolu, you shouldn’t make irresponsible remarks. Snow Li is my female partner for today.”

Ai Xiaolu was feeling conflicted and was in a dilemma. She revealed a smile and said,” I had forgotten about this and I’m going to be all alone by myself.”

She took a look at Snow Li suddenly and said, “Dear, could you lend half of Wang Zheng to me to use?”

Instantly, Snow Li blushed. “Take it, take it. Who would mind?”

“Is it? If that’s the case, I’m not returning him.” Ai Xiaolu teased.

“No you can’t!” said Snow Li immediately. Cai Yingmeng who was at the side couldn’t help but laugh,” Why not decide this over a guessing game?”
