Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Inside De L'amour, Yue Ling sat inside her office with Liu Shan seated on the couch across from her. She stares at the assistant with heavy eyelids due to how dumfounded she is.

She slightly got up from her seat and reaching an arm out to him, she snatch the note card out from him hands.

"The 'brat' you are referring to is my godson."

She sits back down and looks at the card. However, her expression softens the second her eyes read the message. The message was printed from a computer, but from each word, she knew that it wasn't from Hana but little Shin.

Shifting her attention to the necklace in her hand, her entire being softens even more.

Hana is a diamond expert in City Z and owns a jewelry company that often collaborates with De L'amour. Before she (Yue Ling) moved to Imperial, little Shin was drawing a necklace he said he is going to make for her. However, due to personal matters, she had to move to Imperial before the necklace was even finished.

Her eyes remain on the necklace for a long minute before she close the lid and place it inside her bag. Since she is given a gift, it is only natural that she returns the favor.

Thinking this, she tells herself that when everything in Imperial is settled, she will visit City Z again. Only, this time, she is going to invite Lu Tian with her so she can introduce him to her family over there.

Coming to this decision, she push the subject aside and looks at Liu Shan.

"Did you happen to see the news today?"

Liu Shan didn't mind how quick she was to change to subject and sounds a snort. Placing both his hands behind his head, he leans back on the couch like he was sitting inside his own office.

"See? I didn't need to. I was the one who sent the news to the media."

Which was the truth. After Dark Clouds confirmed that they had sent Ning Mei to the Ning family house, he couldn't wait to carry on with the plan again.

He made sure that the photos were sent to the press and everyone was to know about Ning Mei and Director Yeun's evilness in Imperial.

He also made sure to type a few words listing the details and a good headline for each media.

Yue Ling listened to him and she could hear faint chuckles from him, but those chuckles were full of mischief and that of an evil witch.

She swore, if life was a movie, Liu Shan will definitely be the role of an undercover evil mastermind.

However, she can also understand why he doesn't care about the commotion of the news.

He had the same reaction with all the other people they took down in the past.

"Well, it seems like we've helped her become famous."

Yue Ling chuckles her words then cross her arms over her chest as she place one leg over the other.

"What about Ming Yue? Have you heard anything about her?"

Hearing her questions, Liu Shan lowers his hands from behind his head and fold them over his chest like he was imitating her.

"After we took care of Chen Limei, I kept a close watch on her. She hasn't made a public appearance anywhere, but I've been tracking her every move and turns out, she is currently living in one of Ning Xingyu's private houses."

Yue Ling listens to his word in silence. She calmly unfold one arm and tap her chin as she ponder about the information.

She had been wondering why Ming Yue suddenly disappeared without a trace. She even thought the woman had fled the country, but it seems like she (Ming Yue) was only hiding behind Ning Xingyu.

"Continue to monitor her moves and inform Detective Zhi about this, she will know what to do."

While Yue Ling discuss matters with Liu Shan, in the far distance away from the busy area of Imperial, the Ji Mansion stood like a castle in a fairytale.

Inside the study room, Grandfather Ji sat behind his desk and held a news article in his hand. His eyes widen by each second as he read what the media had released.

"This is preposterous!"

He slams the paper on his desk and his chest heave up and down like a mad man.

"Chairman, what is it?"

Standing not too far from the old man, Zhong Yang jumped at the loud thunderous sound that resonated inside the study room.

He was the one who delivered the news article to the old man like every other morning. However, he didn't bother to look at it since it was usually about unnecessary scandals involving celebrities.

However, judging from Grandfather Ji's expression just now, he knows that something beyond these scandals has happened in Imperial.

"Chairman?"

"Read it yourself."

Zhong Yang had only utter one word when Grandfather Ji's voice overlaps his. He (Grandfather Ji) didn't want to look at the paper anymore and slides it across the desk to his assistant.

Confused, but curious at the same time, Zhong Yang takes a few steps forward to pick up the news article. He had only read the headline and his mouth opens into the shape of an O.

"H-How…"

Grandfather Ji leans back on his chair and massage his forehead in attempt to calm himself down.

"Never did I think that despicable Yeun Biao would do such a thing with those models in his company. He even made that Ning Mei girl his mistress."

He lowers his hand and hits the bottom of his fist on the top of his desk.

"To think my family's Ah Ling was working under such a rogue person all these years."

Zhong Yang's attention was immersed in the article that he didn't listen to any of Grandfather Ji's words. His eyes scans over each word like an eagle without missing a single detail.

However, the more he read, the redder his face became, and his breathing turned heavy like he was hyperventilating.

"How dare this contemptible person exit in Imperial?!"

He hadn't even gotten to the last word and crumples up the news article with his teeth clenching together. However, feeling it wasn't enough, he uncrumples the paper and tears it to shred like he was shredding machine.

"Where is this scoundrel now? Let me rip him to pieces like this article!"
