Qin Rong had just finished his Kung Fu workout when his brother arrived.
"So, how's your date with your wife?" Qin Sho asked as he put his hands inside his pants' pocket.
Qin Rong was about to answer but Chairman Qin interrupted him.
"W-what wife? Qin Rong! What's the meaning of this? Care to explain?"
Qin Rong rolled his eyes at his older brother.
"My dear father, I think you should ask that question to your eldest son instead. Brother Sho, when will you give our dear father his long-awaited grandchildren?"
Qin Rong asked as he and chairman Qin stared at Qin Sho.
Qin Sho's eyes widened upon hearing his younger brother's question. What the heck? Why was his younger brother so good in dodging this kind of situation? Why was he under hot water now?
"Woi, Qin Rong. Don't just change the topic!" Qin Sho said as he threw Qin Rong a death stare.
"Then stop asking nonsense questions." Qin Rong said with a smirk.
"Stop that, both of you. You're already grown-ups now. Act your age." Chairman Qin said in a serious voice.
"Rong, you're too young to talk about having a wife. Finish school first and help manage our business after. Sho, when will you start dating? I'm not getting younger I would like to experience the joy of having a daughter before I die." Chairman Qin added.
"It seems like you need to extend your stay father, looks like it's a mission impossible for your eldest son." Qin Rong said with a smirk.
"Say another word, Qin Rong and I'll cut your allowance." Qin Sho said with a grin.
"B-bro, I was just kidding! Please don't cut my allowance. I'll behave now." Qin Rong said as he put on his best puppy face.
Qin Sho's smile widened as he pinched his younger brother's cheeks.
"My baby brother's so cute! So how's your date again?" Qin Sho asked.
"What date? That wasn't a date. I just had lunch with Yuvin and Europa." Qin Rong answered.
"Oh, when did they arrive?" Chairman Qin asked.
"They arrived yesterday night, father." Qin Rong answered.
"Shall we invite them over?" He added.
Qin Sho's eyes sparkled as he remembered the rescheduled boat ride.
"I think that's a good idea. Let's also prepare a party for them. Especially for Europa, it's her first time here in Beijing." Qin Sho said.
"Good idea, I think she'll like the boat ride too. First thing tomorrow morning, I'll ask some of our people to construct another boat." Chairman Qin said.
The three men of Qin family continued to talk about the preparations but was abruptly interrupted by butler Quan when he informed them about dinner. Chairman Qin directed himself to their dining hall while his sons went to their rooms to freshen up before joining their father for dinner.

Wang Yuvin just arrived at their Villa and quickly walked toward the dining hall where his sister and niece were already eating dinner.
"What's for dinner?" Wang Yuvin asked as he gave each of the girls a kiss on the head.
"Uncle Yuvin, it's my favorite dish! Pork in mushroom sauce." Europa answered before shoving another spoonful of food in her mouth.
"We also have homemade pizza. Come join us for dinner, bro." Wang Reiji said in between bites of pizza.
"So, did you manage to get your shoe back?" Wang Reiji asked.
A while ago, Europa told her mother about the incident at the Golden Scale and how her Uncle Yuvin saved the lady.
"About that, I was able to get my shoe back with the help of brother Li." Wang Yuvin answered as he sat himself down.
"B-brother Li? As in Ming Li? He's also here? I thought he planned to settle in Japan." Wang Reiji asked.
"He's here, sis. And you know what, he's the chief investigator of the city's Security Bureau." Wang Yuvin said as he took a slice of pizza and placed it on his plate.
"Hmmm, I see." Wang Reiji briefly answered as an idea suddenly flashed inside her head.
"Actually, Europa and I were planning to visit the Qin family this coming Saturday. How about we invite brother Li to join us as well?" Wang Reiji said as she turned her gaze to Wang Yuvin.
"That's a good idea. I'll inform brother Li right away." Wang Yuvin answered.

Inside a mansion that stood proudly behind tall gates like a fortress with many guards walking back and forth, an old man in a tailored suit got off from a black maybach and went inside the house.
"Good evening Mr. Liu. Lady Xur is waiting for you in the living room."
A woman in a maid's uniform said as she bowed down her head.
"Thank you. You may take your leave now. I can go there by myself." The old man replied.
"As you wish." The servant quickly answered as she walked away from the receiving area.
Right after the servant disappeared from his sight, the old man strode his way to the living room.
As soon as he reached the area, he immediately spoke.
"How's my Lingli?"
Upon hearing the name that the old man had called her, the lady's face turned sour.
"Mr. Liu, how many times did I tell you that my name is Xur now." The woman replied.
"But you are still my eldest daughter Lingli, right?" The old man protested as he sat himself down the modern L-shaped suede velvet platinum sofa.
"That I can't deny, but inside this mansion, I'm Lady Xur. Not Liu Lingli."
"Besides, uncle Ming gets mad when someone calls me Lingli instead of Xur." The woman answered in a tone full of arrogance.
However, instead of being intimated, the old man chuckled and talked back.
"Lingli, are you taking acting workshops? When did you become so good in acting?" The old man said as his icy stare pierced the woman in front of him.
The woman's face paled upon hearing the word acting. The arrogance that was surrounding her a while ago disappeared all of a sudden.
"We both know the truth. In this ambitious scheme of ours, aren't you the one who enjoys all the benefits, Lady Xur?"
"I'm still your real father, so please Lady Xur, know your place and stop projecting that arrogance to me. Remember, Huang Mingsi's vast wealth is not under your name yet.And once he finds out that you are not his real---" The old man said in a serious tone but was interrupted by the woman.
"Enough! Okay dad, I'm sorry. Please refrain from talking about that! You're ruining our plans!" The woman answered.
"Hush now my dear, lower down your voice or our plans will indeed be ruined. Father was just reminding you of the important things you forgot when you started living as Chairman Huang's precious niece." The old man said in a calm voice.
"Anyway, I'm just here to tell you that I'm still looking for that man." He added.
"Mmm there's no need dad, uncle Ming's also looking for him." The woman said.
"Just focus in making sure that everything related in what happened five years ago are well hidden. Looks like Zhang Chenric's trying to uncover the past. Makes me wonder why."
"His father's alive."
The woman's eyes bulged-out as horror crept into her face.
"G-general prosecutor Zhang's alive?" She stammered as she asked a question to certain what she heard.
"Yes, that damn traitor's alive. So if I were you, you better make your move on Chairman Huang's wealth as well. Persuade him about transferring all his fortune to you before matters got out of our hands." The old man said with a sense of urgency in his voice.
"Don't worry dad, I'll make sure that all the Huang's wealth will be put under my name. And about Chenric, don't do anything bad to him. I have a plan that would make him side with us." The woman said with a sinister smile on her face.
