Chapter 199: Wide Network of Connections
“I just finished dealing with matters over there, and I couldn’t not come for the King, so it had to be this late.”
Aili explained.
“Bei Ming Hao Chen is over there, go around from the side and don’t get discovered~”
Ming Yi replied.
Aili had once gone to China for a period and had direct face-to-face contact with Bei Ming Hao Chen. Given Bei Ming Hao Chen’s shrewd nature, it was highly possible he would recognize her.
Aili sneered. He was still worried that Bei Ming Hao Chen would recognize her. If it were purely for work reasons, Aili could understand, but the key was that Gu Siyu was there now. Therefore, Aili smiled; she knew the reason behind it all too well.
“Okay.”
Aili nodded.
Ming Yi repeatedly instructed her. Aili had put on makeup today, which was quite different from her usual daily makeup. She felt Bei Ming Hao Chen wouldn’t recognize her.
Ming Yi stood by the side, watching Aili walk towards the King.
He glanced again at Bei Ming Hao Chen, who was chatting with Gu Siyu, and confirmed that he hadn’t noticed Aili before relaxing and attending to other people.
Currently, the struggle between him and Bei Ming Hao Chen was akin to him being in the dark while Bei Ming Hao Chen was in the light.
He could not afford to lose this competition!
Ming Yi was full of confidence, but he hadn’t expected that Bei Ming Hao Chen had Gu Siyu by his side, and Gu Siyu was well aware of both their trump cards.
“Does that girl also like your brother? She seems quite nice.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen had been observing the girl Gu Siyu had initially mentioned for a long time. She was noble and elegant, and whether in conversation or in how she handled matters, she was flawless, leaving no room for criticism. Such a young lady from a wealthy family was likely the dream of countless men.
Although he had only just met Lai Mi and spoken a few words, it didn’t affect his judgment of him as a person.
However, Bei Ming Hao Chen didn’t know why, but he had a persistent feeling that things wouldn’t go smoothly between these two.
“Her? I’m not too sure. I haven’t interacted with her much, but I’ve heard she has a good relationship with my brother.”
Gu Siyu replied.
“Who is that person?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen’s sight shifted to Aili, who was talking to the King. Even from just her back, he could feel a sense of familiarity.
Gu Siyu followed his gaze and saw Sister Aili. Her heart skipped a beat. Bei Ming Hao Chen was not yet aware that Ming Yi was the Boss of the Spanish Mafia, his greatest rival in Spain. As for Aili, she had bumped into Bei Ming Hao Chen directly several times in China on previous occasions, and even more so during their time on the island after the near-death experience in ***, where they had spent considerable time together.
Gu Siyu had no doubt that once Bei Ming Hao Chen saw Aili’s face, he would definitely recognize her.
At this moment, she absolutely could not let such a thing happen.
“What? That?”
“She must be some young lady from a prominent family. Hey, Bei Ming Hao Chen, you’ve been staring at other girls the entire time we’ve been together, I’m going to be upset.”
Gu Siyu pretended to be unhappy, trying to divert Bei Ming Hao Chen’s attention.
“Where did I?”
“My attention has been on you the whole time.”
“It’s just that person is very familiar, have we met before?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen frowned. He had a strong feeling that he should know that person; a sense of inexplicable familiarity washed over him.
“See, your network is quite extensive. You even know the noble young ladies from my Spanish Royal Family.”
“I wouldn’t have guessed.”
Gu Siyu let go of his arm, which she had been holding, and said with a hint of jealousy.
