Chapter 153: The Invitation (1)
After arriving at the airport, both of them proceeded towards the path that led to the runway.
As they walked towards the runway, some employees that were on duty, bowed to them with the utmost respect.
Finally, they stopped in front of the big jet plane, that stood high and proud, all set to fly up high in the sky and ride on the winds.
"What about Ethan?" the woman asked.
"Hmmm...he already reached there yesterday. Probably he must have made all the arrangements," the man said.
From the airplane, a man in a pilot uniform came down towards the man and woman that were standing.
"Its time, Madame," the pilot said.
The woman nodded, and with a smile, she gave a hug to the grey-haired man. The man hugged her back and said, while patting her head, "Be safe. And you must come back after a week, okay?"
"Yeah Yeah," the woman said, as she put on her sunglasses and proceeded inside the airplane.
Seeing her disappearing back, the man sighed.
Soon, the engine of the airplane was started, it began to move forward.
The plane created a turmoil of strong winds, that made the man step back a little.
It was slow then all of a sudden it got faster down the runway, and then within a few seconds, it was up in the air.
Seeing the plane up in the sky, the gentle smile on the man's face disappeared, his eyes became cold, putting on sunglasses, he turned back and went away.n
In the plane, the woman sat with her legs crossed.
Up in the sky, her eyes were set on the clouds outside, which looked like the fluffy cotton balls.
She clenched her hands, her nails dug deep in his palm and when she opened it there was sweat in them.
As she noticed it, with a deep breath, the woman took a tissue from the side and wiped her sweaty hands.
Breathing out, taking the file that was kept in front of her, she opened and immersed herself in it.
.
Li Wei was sitting in the study room of his mansion, as always immersing himself in his work, when his phone ranged.
Picking up the phone, it was Madam Li, he said, "Yes mother?"
"Son, are you busy?" asked Liu Roulan.
"What is it, mother?" asked Li Wei, his eyes did not leave his work even for a second.
"We are thinking of holding a banquet, on the occasion of your Li Corporation's fifty-years," Liu Roulan said.
"I know, I have asked Mu Shufen to do the preparations," Li Wei with a disinterested voice.
"And, umm...I am thinking of introducing Sying as your fiance there," Liu Roulan said with a little bit caution in her voice.
At this, Li Wei looked up, and then said, "hmm."
This time, his voice was dull and it was clearly showing his disinterest in him.
Disconnecting the call, Li Wei threw his phone on the side of the table. It was frustrating to imagine someone else's name is taken with his name, other than her.
Like a hundred needles were pricked in his heart, Li Wei clenched his fists tightly.
"This is only for mother's sake. Other than that, it is impossible for me to accept someone who is not you," Li Wei mumbled as he took a deep breath.
Seeing his lack of response, on the other side, Liu Roulan frowned.
As the phone was on speaker, Liu Roulan felt guilty, she looked towards Yang Sying who passed on a smile to her.
Seeing this, Liu Roulan had a sharp pain in her heart.
But, Yang Sying had different thoughts. It was difficult for her to keep up with this anymore.
She failed to get any kind of attention from Li Wei, he would seldom come here, which was also an obstacle.
Yang Sying gritted her teeth. This was enough. She will have to do something or else it would be a great problem.
Suddenly, the idea of the banquet came to her mind. Her eyebrows relaxed and there was a smile on her face.
Looks like she was planning something on Li Wei's accord.
..
"Mr. Ethan, we are here," said the driver to the young man sitting at the backseat of the car.
Ethan, who was busy in his laptop, looked up, and nodding, he shut down his laptop and putting on his sunglasses, he got out of the car.
Seeing the luxurious car standing in front of the Airport, it attracted much attention. The people that passed by it, were left in awe.
As soon as Ethan got out of the car, without any doubt, he attracted the attention of people, in which there were mainly young women and girls.
"Wow! He is so handsome. Is he a model?" one of the young women commented to her friend with whom she was walking out.
As for the males, they seemed envious of him, his wealth, and his face.
"That brat is rich both in face and looks," one of the men commented.
Ethan, ignoring all this, proceeded inside the airport.
He was in a casual outfit today.
As he entered the airport, he proceeded towards the VIP lounge of the airport.
As he reached there, he opened the door, only to see two women in her late twenties, one sitting and the other sitting on the couch, with sunglasses on.
"Elaina," said Ethan as he entered the room.
Hearing her name, the woman looked up, to face Ethan.
On her face, came a little smile, and she waved her hand at him.
"Hey, Mia," Ethan said waving his hands, to which she passed a smile.
Ethan reached to Eliana and pulled her into a hug.
Eliana on the other hand was not surprised. After some time, he broke the hug, "Let's go," he said.
And so, Eliana and Ethan walked out of the room, followed by Mia.
As they were coming out of the airport, Eliana was stopped by Ethan, who passed her mask and cap.
Eliana raised an eyebrow at this, before accepting it.
"Why? Am I so bad looking?" Eliana asked knitted eyebrows.
Listening to this, Ethan rolled his eyes, and said, "Not you, but people's sight is ugly."
Listening to his words, Eliana smirked and then patted Ethan's head to which he slapped her hand and said with an irritated, "Don't mess my hair."
Eliana who was walking in front of Ethan stopped in her tracks.
Ethan who was looking into something in his phone bumped into the frozen Eliana.
Ethan was a little taller than Eliana, and so, Eliana bumped into his chest.
Ethan, on an instinct, held her from her shoulders in the back, which startled Eliana as well.
"What is wrong?" Ethan asked.
"No, nothing. Let's go," said Eliana as the air surrounding her became cold, and she proceeded towards the exit, leaving both Ethan and Mia behind.
With a shrug, both of them followed her to the car.
All the way to the car, to their destination, no one said a single word.
"The area where we have our destination is secluded and there are not many people there as well, it is the top one place in the whole country," said Mia as she dictated the information on the paper.
"It mainly is for upper-class people, but they don't prefer coming here, because this area is quite secluded. It is named as Xiaoyaogou," Mia said as she closed the tablet after that, and looked at the backseat, where Ethan and Eliana were sitting.
Ethan looked at Mia and then as Eliana who looked like she was lost in her own world.
Mia wanted to say something, but Ethan gestured to her not to speak and ignore the lost Eliana.
Mia nodded and then again the silence took over the car.
Finally, after ten minutes, the car stopped and by then, Eliana was back to her cold demeanor. She opened the door first and then said, "Let's go."
Seeing this, all the others get out of the car as well.
Soon, they were standing in front of a big residential land, with beautiful scenery surrounding it. In the middle of this, stood a luxurious bungalow. It was white in color, and its security was tight, with tens of people in black guarding it.
As soon as they decided to walk forward, Ethan was stopped in his tracks, as his phone ranged.
Picking it up, he said, "What is the matter?"
"Sir, we have an invitation," the voice said from the other side.
"Invitation? What invitation?" asked Ethan with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes Sir. We got an invitation from the Li Corporations," said the person.
"What? Can you repeat?" said Ethan astonished.
"Li Corporations, Sir."
Listening to that name Ethan raised his head, his eyes were on the woman that stood in front of him, cold and proud.
"Okay, I will look into this matter," he said and disconnected the call.
