Better Than Bai Han
Better Than Bai Han
He brought along five of his men to implement his plan against the one who called him an old man. His plan was simple; let Yanmei's father and sister know who he is and what he was capable of.
Remembering how Yanmei told that he looked older with his usual style, he cleaned himself the same way he did during his date with Yanmei.
Before leaving Korea, he had studied the current situation of Xia Zihao and his mistress, Yi Liling. Yanmei's father had merely been living off from the profit he would regularly receive out of 1% share of the Royal Dragon Corporation as well as some apartments he had for lease.
It was not enough to maintain the lifestyle of Yi Liling, but fortunately, his other daughter, Yi Meixu was married to one of the richest men in the city, Bai Han. His daughter had provided for them now and then.
Anton had also learned a few disgusting secrets coming from the mother and daughter, which he was looking forward to revealing to Yanmei's father.
He stayed at the famous Four Seasons Hotel in Guangzhou and it was from the same property where he sent an invitation to Xia Zihao, one that he expected to be answered with the very same day.
Xia Zihao was resting in the living room when his maid informed that a letter arrived for him. He accepted the sealed envelope and carefully opened the content. His eyes grew wide in surprise and soon a thrill of excitement became apparent on his face.
It was an offer letter from one of the richest men in Korea to purchase his share from The Royal Dragon Corporation for 1 Billion Dollars. It was an amount far more than the actual worth that he could not resist. The only condition in the letter was that he bring Yi Liling and Yi Meixu with him for a formal agreement.
He did not know how Anton knew of him and his family, but since the letter was sent by Four Seasons Hotel on behalf of this powerful man, he figured it was a legitimate invitation. Thus, he agreed to the meeting by calling the hotel.
With the said amount of money, he could start a new business of his own and thus, he was willing to let go of the remaining share he has.
Xia Zihao happily informed Yi Meixu over the phone, and they had dinner together at his house to discuss the plan.
"According to what I have research, this man, Anton Yeong is worth Billions, equal to the wealth of the Xia's main family, Xia Tao and Xia Ting," announced Yanmei's father.
"That is amazing, father!" Exclaimed Yi Meixu. "It must be nice to be his wife."
They all laughed at the idea. Then soon, the concept became a goal for Yi Liling. She said, "Why not? If this Anton Yeong is truly someone far richer than Bai Han, Xuxu, you are better off with him!"
"That is true. Who knows in time, he might even help us slap the faces of Xia Tao for banning me at the company... but of course, Xuxu I imagine you are in love for Bai Han. So that is more important than anything," said Xia Zihao. "Don't take our words seriously."
Yi Meixu suddenly had a strange feeling of regret. The Bai Industries have been falling from its old esteem every year. It would seem like since The Royal Dragon's refusal to work with them, the Bai Industries gradually lost their investors and government support, along with it, came the slow growth to all their projects.
She thought about it the entire dinner and just as they finished their meals, Yi Meixu finally spoke, "You know what father? Since sister Yanmei has been after Bai Han and is still pursuing him, why don't I just give him to Yanmei? Besides, sometimes I feel like Bai Han has been ignoring me lately… I think - I think he does not believe me every time I tell them about your conflict with sister."
Meixu looked into the eyes of her parents before adding, "I'm happy to meet this Anton Yeong and hopefully he is as impressive as his wealth. I will do whatever it takes to catch his attention."
"Then it's settled! I think you are right to make this decision, my dearest Xuxu," said Yi Liling before turning to her lover. "This was your father's wish, after all, for Yanmei to be married to Bai Han. Why don't we make his wish come true!"
The three of them agreed to the plan and that evening, Meixu asked permission from Bai Han to sleep at her parent's house, saying she missed them so much.
Unknown to Bai Han, Meixu was preparing for her big meet with Anton Yeong. She was choosing elegant yet sexy dresses for her to wear, even making it a point to keep her wedding ring inside her drawer.
The next day, the trio were dressed up for their appointment at the Four Seasons Hotel. A limo from the property came to their house, ready to bring them to their destination.
They excitedly rode the luxurious car and while inside, refreshments and canapes were prepared for them. When they were told that these were all personally requested by Anton Yeong, they became even more thrilled to meet him.
Arriving at the hotel, they were brought to the biggest ballroom of the property. Men in bodyguard uniforms opened the doors for them and there they saw a handsome, slightly bearded man with broad shoulders, sitting on a round table, drinking a cup of coffee.
Meixu's eyes glistened at the sight of Anton. He looked rather serious. His aura reflected a person of authority and power, one that Bai Han was not equipped of. The best part was his light brown eyes. It was best that she had ever seen.
She secretly said to herself, 'He is better than Bai Han.'
"Welcome, Mr. Xia", said one of the bodyguards before gesturing them to the round table. "Please take a seat."
Anton Yeong remained to stare at them expressionless and the moment they took their seats, he studied their clothes and could tell; they came to impress him.
He leaned forward and fixed his gaze at Xia Zihao. He put his hands together while his elbows rested against the table. He said, "Mr. Xia. It's nice to finally meet you. Can I ask you something?"
"Of course! Anything, Mr. Yeong," Xia Zihao said with a smile.
"How old do you think I am?"
