Unedited: So far, all of my chapters are going to be unedited since I dont have an editor or a proofreader. I am so sorry for disappearing for so long.

...

After the Christmas Party, Lily originally thought Lin Yu Yan would let it go. After all, she had been embarrassed and had become the topic of everyone else the whole night. Most women who experienced the same thing would leave Hongkong or stay cooped up in their house until the news disappeared. Or at least people forgot.

However, before Zhuo Jingren and Lily could leave the orphanage, they received a phone call from Lin Yu Yan. She wanted to talk to Zhuo Jingren alone and tell him about something important. When Zhuo Jingren asked Secretary Go to decline, Lin Yu Yan had another breakdown and told him that this was about the Zhou Family.

"How did she even know about the Zhou Family?" Bei Tian mumbled. After the party, he decided to come to Sky City with Zhuo Jingren and Lily.

The mention of the Zhou Family immediately caught Lily’s attention. She frowned and narrowed her eyes. The mere thought of Zhuo Jingren’s biological family was enough to leave a bitter taste in her mouth. She narrowed her eyes as memories of her conversation with Zhou Jingtao replayed inside her mind.

"Will you see her?" Bei Tian asked. "If you don’t like to—"

"I will." Zhuo Jingren said. "Her previous actions could be somehow be connected to the Zhou Family."

"Jingren. I don’t think that is a very good idea. Since she is already working with the Zhou Family, she could easily use this opportunity to get rid of you." Bei Tian’s face was stoic, his previous light demeanor gone.

"Did you call your contacts? Have you tried looking into Lin Yu Yan’s father?" Lily chimed in. If she is from the Zhou Family, she would immediately target Lin Yu Yan’s father to manipulate her.

Bei Tian pulled out his phone and shook his head. "No replies, yet. Informations like this are not that easy to obtain." Lily eyed Zhuo Jingren before she leaned on his shoulders. The car ride towards Sky City will take almost an hour, so they have a few more minutes to think about Lin Yu Yan’s situation.

Zhuo Jingren opened his mouth, but before he could utter a word, Lily already beat him to it. "I am not going." She said. "If she sees me, she will flip." A small smile bloomed on her face. "But I will wait outside. Once she tries something, then... I will blow her up." She giggled, earning a puzzled look from both Bei Tian and Zhuo Jingren.

"What are you planning?" Zhuo Jingren asked.

"Nothing." She said. Lily did not expect her plan on the party to blow up and would cause Lin Yu Yan to actually not show up and risk her reputation. To Lily, this made little sense at all. This lead her to conclude that something else is going on. Something that they do not know. The message that they receive a few moments ago, just confirm this suspicion. "Call her father. Have him accompany us."

Zhuo Jingren raised an eyebrow. "Old Man Lin is waiting for her in her house. It should be easy to have him come with us."

"But why? You want him to witness his daughter’s behavior? What if they threatened her?" Bei Tian said. He does not like the fact that the Zhou Family had used Lin Yu Yan against them. This was mainly because he considered Lin Yu Yan as a friend. At one point, Bei Tian had even liked her. This was enough reason for him to feel pity and a little protective towards her.

Moreover, Lin Yu Yan should not be involved in this matter as this was because of him and Zhuo Jingren.

"Oh... someone threatened her." Lily said. "I am sure of that."

"Zhou Kang might have used her father to threaten her." Zhuo Jingren said. "After being found by her parents. She had worked hard to gain their approval. Especially her fathers. She wanted to impress him and become the next CEO of their company. The fruit of her labor was obvious as she had gained her father’s affection and trust. Imagine this... being taken by Zhou Kang."

Lily’s lips thinned. "I was thinking the same thing." The only difference in her analysis was the fact that she had put herself on Zhou Kang’s mind while Zhuo Jingren analyzed Lin Yu Yan past actions. "That is the only logical reason that I could think of." She closed her eyes and silence spread inside the car as everyone fell into deep contemplation.

"Tomorrow we are going to Europe. I don’t want any mishaps." She heard Zhuo Jingren said to Bei Tian.

"Hmmm. When are you planning on meeting Zhou Jingtao?" Bei Tian asked. His voice does not contain any emotion towards the name of his father.

"After the wedding." Lily said before she pouted. "I was too busy, I didn’t have enough time to prepare for own wedding." She complained. "Everything has been to hectic lately."

"Well... what are you complaining about? You are already Mrs Zhuo for a long time now. Plus, I was the one managing all the preparations with Zhuo Jingren. I was even the one who chose the flower arrangement and the whole venue decorations. Hmp! You haven’t even thank me."

Lily instantly beamed at Bei Tian’s words. This was a fact. Lily had actually no talent in designs. She was practically useless when it comes to other things aside from business. She was thankful that Zhuo Jingren and Bei Tian had been doing all the preparations for her. "Hey... I have a question." Her lips lifted into a mischievous smile. "Your boutique was the one who made my gown. You also chose the flowers and decorations. You also visited the venue and talked to the coordinator. Am I right?"

"You are. Aren’t I the best Bestman there is? Wait... this stuff should be done by the Maid of Honor which was absent all the time and hadn’t even bothered to contact me! And that man of her’s who is supposed to be one of the groomsman or rather the only groomsman is also not there—"

"Alright... I get it. Those people are busy with their own lives. This wedding is only a formality that President Zhuo wanted to do before we get pregnant, so I am not really stressed about this. I am already married to him and that is what matters." Lily said. "Now.... This ranting got me curious." She eyed Zhuo Jingren then shifted her gaze at Bei Tian. "Was there a time that they thought, I mean the venue or the decorators thought.... You are the one getting married to Jingren?"
