Quick Transmigration: Counter Attack Of Various Characters

Zixi saw as Yueyue sent him home whereas she went out for a late - night dinner with Li Rong. Sometimes he felt susceptible to being powerless and ineffectual in the outcome of the possibility of these dinners, walks and laughs Yueyue shared with Li Rong.

But at the end of the day, what could he do?

In the last two years, he had tried to find out and route the people who had been responsible for what had had happened to his family. The results were disappointing, to say the least. The slow progress in that matter left him feeling unsatisfied.

Though he had followed the thread to a few people, however, they were all smaller fishes, he still didn't know who was the mastermind behind it all and the reason for their callous decision to eliminate the Qins.

Looking at everything happening around him, Zixi felt a crushing sense of defeat overwhelm him. He couldn't find his enemies since he had to be particularly careful not to alert anyone regarding his actions and turn their eyes towards uncle's family and then he also had to watch Yueyue getting closer to another guy.

Still, he didn't want to act like a stalker and follow both of them without their knowledge so he went back to the Yu residence. Moreover, watching them from the shadows would hurt himself more so why would he try to look at something that was an eyesore for him.

As soon as he returned back, uncle called him into the study to inform him that the interloper was returning.

Really swell.

It wasn't as if he didn't have enough on his plate and his heavy heart already, that now a new eyesore would be prancing in front of him to spike his blood pressure. He felt weary to the bones.

Anyways, he tried to put these heavy and dismal thoughts behind him and get back to his work. The next day that misbegotten girl returned.

Yu Yan hadn't thought that her father wouldn't even come to receive her at the airport. After all, he had gone to pick up his beloved firstborn when Yu Yue had returned. She was infuriated at his seeming indifference towards her return but then she had burnt her own bridges with him somewhat, so it was understandable.

She rested at home for a few days and was informed that she would be joining the company next week along with Yu Yue. At least, that gave Yu Yan a meagre of satisfaction. She was also informed that there would be a party at the residence because the heiress was finally joining the company in a formal, official manner at last.

On the day of the party, Yu Jian called both his daughters to the study and told them in no uncertain terms that they had to behave and act befitting of a Yu family member during the party and that no matter their internal differences, they shouldn't try to one-up each other tonight so as not to end up as a laughing stock for everyone to speculate about.

The guests had already arrived at the Yu residence and were received and greeted by the patriarch of the family and everyone was waiting for Yu Yue to come and greet them. Also, they knew from their sources that the spurious child had also returned and would be joining the party.

This time it was different from the Age of Coming Ceremony. At that point of time all those years ago, none of them knew the strengths of the heir - apparent but in the last few years she had a made a name for herself in their circles.

Each and every one of them had heard reports about how The Eldest Miss was sharing the burden of her father even though she hadn't joined the company as of yet and helped him clinch deals worth millions. Also, in all these years they hadn't heard a single scandal regarding her by word of mouth or on print.

This could either mean that she was very conscious of such things and nobody had been able to entrap her, proving her intelligence or she had an impregnable wall surrounding her in which case it meant opposing her or being petty with her was akin to cracking an egg against a rock.

Either way the eldest daughter of Yu Jian was someone to take note of and keep their eye on, therefore, nobody present today wanted to start something against her for short - term gains.

On the other hand, the illegitimate daughter had been sent for a metaphorical exile by the patriarch so it seemed he was set on not letting an outsider embarrass or provoke his firstborn.

When the Heiress had gone oversees everyone had wondered if the astute businessman was muddleheaded in his personal life, if his emotions had overtaken his rationale but his subsequent actions had stopped all the wagging tongues.

Many people also knew that Yu Jian was looking for his future son - in - laws. It was an accepted practice in their circle to settle on a person and then have your child have a long engagement with the said person before marriage. This gave the added bonus of not being blindsided later on due to the other party's greed.

After all, people can't keep on their act for a long period of time. Most families had brought their sons of the same age as to that of the two Yu girls to the party. If someone caught either of the girl's eyes, it could prove beneficial to both parties as everyone was of the same standing and prestige with minor differences.

Everyone was eagerly awaiting to have a look and a talk with Yu Yue and Yu Yan. They saw them coming down the stairs one after another.

Yu Yue looked resplendent in her strapless, ruby Red dress of semi-embroidered fabric which accentuated her thin waist, hugged her h.i.p.s, and flared out a bit.

Yu Yan knew she looked beautiful in the dress and she had the confidence to wow everyone present. Half an hour later she saw the Li family entering the ballroom together. She watched as the patriarch, the heir and Li Rong came along with the heir's wife. She wanted to take this chance to talk to Li Rong.

However, before she could take more than two steps towards him, she saw him looking around at the people and she knew he was trying to find Yu Yue. As soon as he saw her standing and talking in a cl.u.s.ter of people, he ditched his family and with just a faint greeting to her father, he walked towards Yueyue with quick steps.

It was as if Li Rong couldn't wait to meet and greet Yu Yue as if he hadn't seen the girl for ages even though he had dropped her off yesterday evening. She really didn't understand that what did he see in Yueyue? Tonight she'll make sure to take the first step towards ensuring to make him hers without fail.

Li Rong saw 'the princess' and went to talk to her about a project his family was interested in pursuing with the Yu family. He reached the group she was talking to and took her to the side for a talk. He knew people were watching his actions but he really didn't have the heart to pay any mind to them at the moment.

As soon as the details of the collaboration were somewhat discussed, he heaved a sigh of relief. At least he hadn't come here in vain.

Li Rong knew many people thought that they were either dating or some such rot but truthfully even he didn't know where their relationship stood. It was certainly more than friends but it wasn't exactly like that of a couple.

Many times he had thought to try and break that fragile wall between them but he knew that if his thoughts were not appreciated by the other party; it would create awkwardness in their relationship.

Li Rong had always believed the fact that there could be no simple friendship between a man and a woman, especially when a confession had already been made. Therefore, he tried to be content with the present status quo between both of them.

Moreover, he had a faint inkling in his heart that though, the Yu patriarch was looking high and low for a son - in - law for his firstborn, he himself had an eye on a person he wasn't divulged to anyone.

It was as if Yu Jian was asking the other person to complete all his pending obligations and hold his daughter's hand. He wondered who was it that had caught Yu patriarch's eye for his daughter and what was the reason that he wasn't doing or saying anything in that regards.

Otherwise, how could it be that he hadn't even set up any blind dates for her or tried to introduce her to people of the opposite s.e.x but in an acceptable age range?

While Li Rong was lost in his thoughts, he saw a girl dressed in a camel coloured gown coming up to him and standing by his side to wait for him to come out of his own thoughts and talk to her. He had seen many women play this ploy and he wasn't interested but as soon as he saw her, he was really stupified.

Not because she was breathlessly beautiful or anything like that but because he recognised her as the illegitimate sister of princess. Really unlucky to meet her here but then he couldn't ignore her blatantly or his elder brother would have his hide later on citing the reason that he had no manners and how could he ignore/insult someone in their own home.

Therefore, he raised his lips into a smile and turned to give his greetings.

"Mr Li, Welcome. Hope you are enjoying the party." Yu Yan welcomed Li Rong with all the poise of a well-bred lady.

"Yes, thank you," he replied.

"I saw you were standing by yourself and thought to accompany you for a bit. Please don't mind, " she demurred.

Really this girl was sticking it on quite thick.

"It's okay. Thank you for your consideration. I was just momentarily free of meeting and greeting people so I came here to be by myself." He thought she would leave him alone after his words but either he had thought too much of her intelligence or she was playing stupid.

"Since Mr Li is free why not spend some time playing with other people our age. All work and no play would make you dull." Yu Yan proposed her idea.

"Ah! Yes, yes all work and no play makes jack a dull boy." Li Rong was just saying things to get her off his back but who knew she would jump on the chance to stick to him.

"Since Mr Li also feels the same then why not we go tomorrow evening to play some tennis. I have heard you are quite good at it and not be egotistical or anything but I myself am a fair hand at it." Yu Yan pounced upon the opportunity given to her.

He really couldn't reject her idea.

He was in the Yu residence and a Yu family member was inviting him for an outing if he rejected and it was passed on to other's ears it would seem that the Li family didn't put the Yu's in their eyes.

Really, these rules were mind-boggling to him. So what if the person inviting him out had the same surname as the host of the part, did he have to waste his own time going out with her on a pointless match or whatever she wanted to do.

"I have already invited you a few times earlier whenever I was in the country but you didn't have the time and were busy so you declined. Please, do not decline my invitation this time." Yu Yan muttered with a spoilt tone.

In the end, Li Rong replied, "Better to respectfully accept than decline courteously."

She really didn't leave him another option. By now he could feel that though people close to them were pretending as to be oblivious of their conversation, everyone had their ears pricked up to hear and catch whatever they could.

Yu Yan was ecstatic at his response and without giving him a chance to retract his reply, she flounced away with a whispered, "That's great! I'll see you tomorrow at the City Gardens for a match."
