Later in the afternoon, the clear pleasant sky suddenly turned grey and the pitter patter of rain started to dissipate the heat.

At first, it was just a gentle shower of numerous droplets. But as time passed by, the pellets of water began to create scattered paddles on the garden pavement.

"Looks like it will take some time for the rain to stop." Butler Quan said as he looked up to the sky.

"Are you sure, sir?" Europa looked at him with eyes full of disappointment.

"Yes, Miss Europa. Look at the clouds above. They are still dark and heavy."

The little girl then turned her gaze to the sky. Seeing that the clouds were indeed dark, she frowned. How can they go on a boat ride?

"Don't be sad, little Miss. You can always go on a boat ride on your next visit here." Butler Quan said, trying to cheer Europa up.

However, it seemed like Butler Quan's words failed to reach Europa as the little girl continued frowning.

"Don't you believe me, Miss Europa? Well, you can confirm it with your mother. Look, she is heading this way together with your uncle." Butler Quan tried his best to divert Europa's attention.

With a disappointed look on her face, Europa turned her head and saw her favorite persons walking towards them. Wang Yuvin was carrying the umbrella that shielded them from the rain while Wang Reiji's arms held a pink unicorn print raincoat.

Soon as they set foot inside the pagoda-style pavilion, Europa rushed to her mother and firmly held her hand.

Wang Reiji squeezed her daughter's soft palms before lowering her head down to meet the little girl's sad gaze.

"Hmmm what's the matter, dear? You seem upset."

Instead of answering her mother's query, Europa gently pulled her mother's hand to show her the man-made lake.

"I see. Did you want to try the boat ride? Sadly, we can't stay here for long my dear. We need to set out before the rain gets stronger, am I right bro?" Wang Reiji said as she threw a 'convince your niece look' at Wang Yuvin.

"Yes, your mother is correct. Also, we have to prepare Misha's things to make sure she will be living comfortably with us."

The little girl then turned her attention to her cat. She patted its head before giving the lake one last look and suppressing all her wish to get on the unicorn boat.

"We will just try it next time. Let's bid Grandpa Luo goodbye then."

"Allow me to inform the chairman first about your departure." Butler Quan interrupted.

Europa slightly nodded her head in agreement.

Wang Reiji can't help but feel proud of her daughter. Europa wasn't just a smart kid, she was obedient too. Unconsciously, Wang Reiji started smiling warmly, bringing much delight to the owner of a pair of Phoenix eyes staring at her from a distance.

"What are you doing here, bro? You seem like a creepy stalker. Why don't you just ask sister Reiji out?"


Qin Rong's sudden appearance annoyed Qin Sho, especially when he recalled the little accident that took place on the hallway.

"You!" Qin Sho threw daggers at his younger brother.

"If it weren't for you running like you're some kind of a ninja, I wouldn't have to stop on my tracks and Reiji wouldn't bumped her nose on my back!"

"Tsk! But you were able to touch her face, didn't you? You should be thankful to me bro and increase my allowance next month!"

"You should be thankful that Reiji wasn't badly hurt by my back muscles!"

"Whoa, bro! Are you made of steel? As far as I know you are made of flesh!"

Qin Sho heaved a deep sigh before retaliating.

"Rong, I appreciate all your efforts of bringing me and Reiji closer. But this is already something personal. Besides I..."

"Don't tell me..."

With a puzzled look, Qin Rong lifted his hands up to cover his mouth.

"To be honest, I am not sure myself if the fondness I feel for Reiji is of natural attraction or maybe she just reminds me of that person." Qin Sho explained, his voice was gentle and low.

"Holy smokes! So, you are trying to channel all your attention to sister Reiji because you see her as that person?! And not because you like her?!"

"Watch your tone, Rong! Didn't you hear me? I said I am not sure for now. Like I am a little confused."

Qin Rong frowned as he remembered his deal with the little girl.

"I hope you find out soon bro before it becomes too late."

With a heavy heart, Qin Rong turned his back and walked away. Before reaching the end of the hallway, he paused and gave his older brother something to ponder on.

"I didn't mean to be rude but... sister Reiji doesn't deserve to be compared to that con artist."

After saying those words, Qin Rong continued to stride toward the exit leaving a silent Qin Sho behind.

After the meeting with the Qin family, the Wang siblings decided to commence the first part of their comeback plan the instant they reached the villa.

Wang Reiji discussed her plan on being the actress for Oriental Europa's advertisement. She told her brother that they must use the tv ad to create a hype about the fire five years ago.

"Hmm, do you really need to take on the role sis?" Wang Yuvin asked, his voice hinting worry over his sister's action.

"Of course! Me taking the lead role will make the ad more realistic."

"But wouldn't you be identified as CEO Wang? What if they get interested with the actress' identity?"

"I will disguise myself as somebody else. I'll go under the name Jing Yizhi. Rentao had already prepared the documents to support my pseudo persona." Wang Reiji explained confidently.

"I see. But you still need to be extra careful for we don't know who the opponents are and how strong their influence is."

The siblings were in the middle of finalizing their discussion when Wang Reiji's phone rang. She had no intentions of picking it up until she saw who the caller was.

"Boss, I have already silenced Mr. Alfonsi. Do you have new orders?"

"Thank you, Gianna. Come to Beijing now. You have a special task waiting for you."

"A special task for me?" Gianna's voice sounded really excited.

"Yes, a special task just for you. Send your flight details to Hanzo, he will give you further instructions."

"Right away, boss!"

After the call ended, Gianna immediately threw her phone to the river under the bridge where she was standing. She then hurriedly got on her motorcycle and speed her way home to pack her things up.
