CHAPTER 451

Jiang Meilin wanted to say something but as much as she opened and closed her mouth, no word was formed. His gentlemanly request shocked her more than his presence.

Meanwhile, Old man Jiang was at loss for words for the boldness of the middle-aged tall man standing before him and his daughter.

"You–"

"May I know the name of the man asking my daughter for a dance?" Old man Jiang cut her off with his question.

"Dad, don't you remember–"

"It seems like elder master Jiang has forgotten me. I feel sad," Zhao Fu quickly interrupted Jiang Meilin. "The name is Fu... Zhao Fu."

"Zhao Fu? Zhao– Oh, I remember. You are that brat that came to sneak my daughter out when she was grounded," Old man Jiang jolted in surprise.

"Well, I guess I can go with that description... It's good to see you again, sir," Zhao Fu chuckled.

"It is. Hmm. Well, you two can go and dance. Later will have a little chat about how we've both been."

"Thank you... Mei, shall we?" He asked with one hand held out for her.

"I don't see why we can't," Jiang Meilin smiled and placed her hand on his.

Pulling her up from the chair, both of them joined others on the dance floor. As they let the rhythm flow through them, they were being watched by two pairs of eyes.

One was Bai Guiren and the other was Lin Ying. The former looked to take notice of how Juang Meilin has become rather more beautiful since their divorce. While the latter held envy like always.

Soon enough the dance came to an end. It was time to mingle amongst one's peers and potential business partners. Bai Renxiang and Li Fengjin took this as an opportunity to start greeting their guests.

"Uncle Mo, long time no see," Li Fengjin greeted as they stopped in front of the middle-aged man and his wife.

"Ah! The winter groom and bride. Congratulations on your wedding," Mr Mo said.

"Thank you. Renxiang, this is my uncle Mo and his wife. They are close friends of my parents. Uncle Mo, this is my love, Renxiang," Li Fengjin introduced them.

"It's a pleasure meeting you, Mr and Mrs Mo," Bai Renxiang shook hands with the couple.

"Don't be so formal with us, my dear. Call us uncle and aunt like your husband does," Mrs Mo said.

"Alright, aunt Mo."

After a few chats, they walked to meet other guests until they met Bai Guiren and Lin Ying. Grandpa and grandma Bai were not there because he had gone to chat with some friends.

"Well if it's not my prodigal daughter," Bai Guiren said with a warm smile.

One would think he was just being a tease but Bai Renxiang and Li Fengjin could read between the lines.

"Honey, don't call your daughter that," Lin Ying slightly hit his arm.

"Hehehe... Oh, Mr Bai, you missed the content there. A prodigal child won't be prodigal if her father chased her out," Bai Renxiang returned the fake smile.

"The father wouldn't have chased the child out if she had not sold–"

"Ahem! Ahem!" Li Fengjin cleared his throat.

When they finally turned to him, they saw his brows raised with a cold glint in his blue eyes. Bai Guiren felt fear crawl up his spine.

"Don't forget whose wife you are talking about, Mr Bai," Li Fengjin casually warned before taking a sip from his wine glass.

"How can we forget? Renxiang and my husband are just joking around like they always do. Right, Renxiang?" Lin Ying quickly changes everything.

But Bai Renxiang was not ready to let things just change like that. She was tired of Lin Ying's ways of shutting her up.

"I don't recall ever making such jokes with Mr Bai," she scoffed.

"You–"

"Mr Bai?" A much elderly voice sounded from behind the couple.

Grandma Bai and grandpa Bai had just arrived to hear the scorn in Bai Renxiang's words.

"You are talking to your father. Is that how your 'mother' trained you?" She scolded but her voice was kept low.

"He lost that title since he chose mere pictures and words over me. He disowned me," Bai Renxiang spat back.

"But those pictures and words were true, BAI Renxiang. Also, if he disowned you, you should have not been a Bai," Grandma Bai struck harder.

Throwing her head back a bit, a soft peal of mocking laughter escapes her glossy lips. When her gaze settles on them once again, it turned indifferent and spiteful.

"Well, then I must apologize for still having that puny name. It's my bad. I should have changed it a long time ago."

"Mind your words, Bai Renxiang. I–"

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk," she clicked her tongue as she held-up pointer finger moved sideways.

"I am NOT a Bai anymore, Mr Bai. But I am a Jiang and let's not forget a Li... The name has changed as it should have. So now, it's Li Renxiang to all of you or better still... Mrs Li," she corrected.

"You–"

"If you'll excuse me, I would like to calm my husband down. We would not want 'something' to happen to anybody in the nearest future now, would we?"

Seeing their dumbfounded and scared faces that had drained of colour, Bai(Li) Renxiang smiled.

"I thought so..." She sized them from top to bottom.

"Enjoy what's left of your good, expensive days because my 'mother' thought me not to live off someone's hard-earned money but she did teach me how to take back what is rightfully mine."

Her every word struck a painful chord in their heart. But not only that, it left them with dread and fear. Fear of her taking over their source of wealth.

"Well, then... Enjoy the party, eat and drink. Who knows it might be one of the too few you would enjoy before you're reduced to your original?" Bai(Li) Renxiang shrugged. "Ciao."
