Secret Marriage:The Wolf And The Sheep

The ball room at the Yu Ting hotel flowed with guests as a soft orchestra played on the side.Professionals and businessmen from many walks mingled together.Tonight was the announcement of the next heir to the Lu Industries and most people looked forward to it.The old businessmen who particularly sat around a small table on the side..These businessmen who were placed on the side were actually the main people one needed to be concerned about when joining the board of directors.The old fogeys were like tigers protecting the throne...

Si Jing observed these people from the corner of his eyes as he was flocked around by people who wanted to hug his thigh.Thes old fogeys were also the reason why Xie Eun would have to suffer the humiliation tonight..So that these people would look down on her and support Yeona wholeheartedly.Si Jing looked at the time and wondered for the hundredth time where Xie Eun was..He had bribed the security to let him know of her arrival immediately. She had left before he could reach her and all his cals had gone unanswered.He had even left her a voicemail asking her to not come to the ball tonight. He crossed his fingers and hoped against hope that she had heard his message and was not going to come.A sneer graced his face when he saw Lu Yeona come to sit on a table near the men with her thron gof friends.It was time for Yeona to put up a show.

The old businessmen had all been friends since the start of Lu Enterprises.They had been the first investors for Old man Lu when he had said that he wanted to establish his own business by making higher quality shows for their sportsmen and their army officers..the two categories that greatly benefitted the country at their own cost...They had witnessed the immense success of Lu enterprises under the guidance of their friend..But they were also witnessing the slow downfall of the company under the leadership of the Old Lady Lu. Her arrogance and refusal to change with the changing times had offended many potential business partners and clients.

They too would have left the Lu Enterprises to hang in the sun if it had not been for the memory of their old friend.They were even skeptical anout the new heir.

Lu Yeona had already made a name for herself in the modelling world.It was also known that she had been groomed to take over the industries but she had been under the tutelage of her grandmother and some industry insiders had told them about how the girl was even more arrogant than Old lady Lu.

Just then, a few fawning voices fell in their ears.The we're a few simpering misses who were congratulating Lu Yeona.The old men almost snorted at that but their expressions changed when they heard the girl's reply,"There is no need to pass wishes so early in the evening when the heir has not even been declared."

Each of them nodded in approval at the girl's modesty and thought maybe with the new blood entering the company,the Lu Enterprises would shine bright again..It was an open secret among the high society that Old Man Lu had left everything to his granddaughter in his will but the child still showed humility and not arrogance was something noteworthy..

Yeona noticed their expressions from the corner of her eye and was satisfied that her little drama had worked...Now the only thing left was to make Xie Eun show her true face..that of a silly village girl..

Si Jing felt a chilling focused gaze on his back making him wonder who was staring at him..but on turning around he could not see anyone..Just then Old Lady Lu walked upto him and though her face was smiling,her cold eyes seemed to ask one question,"Where is Xie Eun?"

Steeling himself to ignore the woman,he pretended to not notice her and looked towards a group of approaching businessmen..However a little commotion at the door caused everyone to turn towards the ornate door...that were closed a moment ago..

An older man walked in with a young and beautiful woman..The woman was temptation incarnate and everyone could feelt their breath catch.Women felt a sear of jealousy course through them at the red jewels that glittered at the woman's ears and the wayer beauty allured not just the attention of the men but even the women..Every man could only stare at the woman and wonder if their teenage dream girl had come to life...

Only Si Jing and and the membered of the Lu family recognized the woman and wore a confused expression.But apart from confusion,there was another emotion coursing through him...jealousy..Why was his girl on the arm of another man?And her eyes had swept over him but not stopped for even a split second..Why?The girl whose eyes used to light up when he entered the room had ignored him like he was non existent..He wanted to march forward and questionn her but only then noticed the identity of the old man..Stopping in shock, he turned his gaze to Old Lady Lu and saw the glowering face staring at the two people.The trance that the entire ballroom had abruplty fallen into broke when the two people started to walk in..
