"That makes sense. So we just wait to collect money?"
"Not so easy either. Choosing people is important. But in that regard, Laurel is better than both of us."
"Say, who do you think is behind Brother Yan? Why do I feel so out of my league?"
"Who knows? We had better not ask too much. Besides, this is a big fish. Laurel didn't really mind at the start, but now even she has thrown herself into it." Jasper smiled.
He was fond of Laurel. Really fond. Sometimes just meeting alone made one understand what was necessary in life. In many ways, Laurel was his cup of tea, but materially he was not her match. Men and women did not just roll out of bed and into the matrimonial hall. He was not that naive, and that was why he was working hard, in hopes of being worthy of her. These two days, he had clearly felt the change in Laurel. Although things were the same on the surface, he had felt a tinge of respect. This was very satisfying to his ego, especially since it came from Laurel.
The two men suddenly felt very content. This was the life that they wanted.
"Oh, Pila seems to be quite wretched."
"That guy brought it upon himself. Count himself lucky we didn't go hunt him down and make trouble."
"Haha, that's true. But what's going to become of that Aslan company?"
"Leave it for now. It's not smart to reject them outright, but there are choices. Perhaps it's better to avoid them. Those guys are hungry. Once they latch on, they might cut us out of it. Laurel handles these things well."
"Dong Er, is anything wrong? Feels like you're so far away." In the Aslan royal music hall, a few fairy-like girls had just finished their harp lesson and were enjoying afternoon tea."
"Oh, nothing, I'm fine." Yuan Dong Er started, and smiled.
"There must be something. Our Dong Er is growing up. Look, everyone, her face is red!" Lin Huiyin said.
"Huiyin, stop talking nonsense. No such thing." Dong Er rubbed her own face. The other two girls crowded over.
Dong Er, 18 years old, and the heir to the Galaxy HU Group. Anyone who could be Huiyin's playmate was no commoner.
She had short hair and wore a red frock. She had a competent look to her. Ouyang Ruoliu, and also the oldest among the four, at 19 years old.
Another wearing a jade-green top and white hot shorts. She was Huiyin's age. Qian Xuedie, with a resplendent butterfly knot in her hair.
Huiyin naturally needed playmates, and they had to be suitable. But with a mother like Kashawen, she did not lack for them on Aslan. Although these four girls were not royalty, their influence was tremendous, and they were also in the elite. The families they belonged to had similar worries, and such an arrangement by Prime Minister Kashawen was undoubtedly an excellent arrangement for them.
"Dong Er, you better tell us honestly. Otherwise, we'll engage in a large-scale intelligence operation." The four girls were of the same character, and extremely interested in such things. At this pubescent period in their lives, their houses were guarded so tightly, it was as though thieves were expected. It left them distanced from normal interactions.
All four girls had sneaked out for a romp. They smelled fresh, and their faces were flushed. This was an alluring sight.
In the end, Dong Er surrendered. The tickle hell was too much to bear.
Matchmaking!!!
The other three girls were stunned."Damn, what an interesting turn. Why couldn't it happen to me?" Ouyang Ruoliu said."If big sister here doesn't meet a boyfriend soon, I'll be ancient."
The other three girls looked at the self-conscious Ouyang Ruoliu, who was fresh as a flower."Don't the three of you have a conscience? I'm suffering over this!"
Dong Er said, "I don't want to go. I know the guy."
"Don't say it!" Qian Xuedie hollered, then vanished in a flash, reappearing with popcorn and juice. She dragged a sofa over."Alright, you can say it now."
"Qian! Xue! Die!" Dong Er screeched.
"Sis Dong Er, spit it out. What does the guy do? How old is he? 30? 40? He wouldn't be 50, would he? That would be crazy!" Qian Xuedie excitedly pressed.
If any of the palace teachers had seen this scene, they would definitely vomit blood all over the ceiling. Where had all their palace education gone?
All four were young and beautiful, and at what was considered the liveliest period of their lives. How could they bear such dreary lives? If it was not the harp, it was the piano, or something of some such. Luckily, they all liked music, or they would have been driven out of their minds.
Before, while Huiyin was absent, the remaining three girls had been bored. At least while Huiyin was around, she could write songs, and that was something fresh. How could they not be excited?
"Come on. I'm not looking for a father. 20 I think. A military student."
"Tch, that's nothing. I thought it was someone interesting. Which family's he from? Big sister here might know him. Relax, I have tabs on all the playboys. If this guy is aiming above his standard, sister here will teach him a lesson!" Ouyang Ruoliu said.
This was without doubt. The Ouyang family was in the intelligence business.
Dong Er shook her head."Not an Aslan person."
Immediately, all three young beauties were in an outcry."Really? Why would your family matchmake you with a non-Aslan person?" Huiyin asked curiously.
"My God, when did your family become so reasonable? I can't stand Aslan guys. They're all of the same mold." If Ouyang Ruoliu's words were leaked, all the guys in Aslan would vomit blood.
"Very good. Continue!" Qian Xuedie needed a conclusion. She ate two kernels of popcorn at once. Her popcorn was fairly famous. Each popcorn piece was of a uniform size, and coated with Aslan's Horntail Honey. Inside the popcorn, each was different, added with some fruit from various countries.
"An introduction from my dad's friend. Says he's extremely outstanding, " Dong Er said listlessly. She was not opposed to the conditions, but matchmaking with someone she had never met? That was impossible.
Huiyin and the rest were beginning to understand. Dong Er's father joined the family, and was a famous scientist. He was not involved in politics, and her family head was Dong Er's mother. Word was that she had been the one to chase him all those years ago, against her family's wishes. In the end, all had agreed, and it had been a blissful matrimony. At the same time, the bloodline of the family had been extended. Time had proven that their family's marriage affairs were the most blessed.
Dong Er's father was a member of Genesis Coffee Club, and was not a nobody.
A man could be without power, but not talent.
"Such an exciting thing. How about this?" Ouyang Ruoliu's eyes were as round as pearls."Dong Er, we'll go and test this guy in your stead. We'll see how awesome he is, that he dares to pluck a rare flower like our Dong Er."
"Sister Ruoliu, what's all this plucking? How vulgar."
"Oh, have you already been plucked? That won't do, let sister check."
All four girls flew into a mock fight. Evidently, within the four, Ouyang Ruoliu was the most rebellious one.
"Stop fooling around. You know my father. Normally, he's a nice guy, but if he loses his temper, even my mother trembles, " Dong Er said.
"Forget your mother - the last time he left, my mom fit to burst too, " Lin Huiyin said. Dong Er's father was the head staff in Aslan's Science College, and he had dared to chastise the terror-inducing existence that was Kashawen. Of course, it had been an extreme situation. Wang Lengzi's name was well known.
"Can the two of you not be so chicken? Besides, we're not out to cause trouble. We just want to see who it is, and how awesome he is!" Ouyang Ruoliu said.
"I support Sister Ruoliu. If you want to marry our Dong Er, you have to get our approval first!"
"What are you going on about? Who's going to marry who? Nothing's been decided, I'm just considering whether to meet him tomorrow." Dong Er had been teased out of her mind by these bad influences.
"Meet. Why not? Huiyin, Dong Er, the two of you can't lag behind. You have to stand bravely and hold the line, " Ouyang Ruoliu said."Dong Er, what's he called? What does he do?"
"Hang on, I have data here." Dong Er opened her Skylink."Here. Wang Zheng, an Earthling..."
What followed was a long list of Wang Zheng's history, including IG, his exchange stint at the Royal College, Elite Academy X, Genesis Coffee Club, etc. There was even an introduction to the KO Group.
Lin Huiyin had completely tuned out after hearing Wang Zheng's name.
Ever since that burst of courage, Huiyin had retreated into her shell like a snail, and had done everything listlessly.
"Huiyin, Huiyin?" Ouyang Ruoliu's hand was waving in front of Huiyin's face."Oh no, our princess is thinking of guys!"
"Sister Ruoliu, can you go three sentences without mentioning guys? Seeing how ** you are, I'll be magnanimous and leave this guy to you!" Dong Er said.
"You can't!" Lin Huiyin suddenly shouted.
"Can't?" All three girls looked at each other.
"Keke, what I meant was, you can't miss out on such an exciting thing." Huiyin covered or herself.
"Student Huiyin, you better speak honestly, and tell us everything. Resistance is futile!" None of them were so easily deceived.
"Alright, alright. I know the guy you're talking about!" Huiyin said. For some reason, just knowing Wang Zheng was in Aslan had put life into Huiyin, as though she had been energized.
"Ah! Go on! How is this guy?" All three girls immediately perked up.
"Hard to say."
"Student Lin Huiyin, do you want to go through tickle hell as well!"
"I give, I give, stop it." Before long, Lin Huiyin had been teased by all three until her face was red.
After Lin Huiyin had finished her introduction, Dong Er and the rest were feeling curious. Huiyin had been "accurate". His looks were average, and they were, unless you looked at him with eyes of love. He was talented, and that was the truth as well. His specialization was in mecha, and he was the Greatest King winner in Elite Academy X. He had to be talented.
He was a little arrogant, and that was the truth as well. Even though she had been dismissed, that had to be pride.
"Hmph, hmph. An Earthling actually dares to come to Aslan. Dong Er, we must test his strength!"
"Sister Ruoliu, how about I just not meet him? After all, he's a member of Genesis Coffee Club, and it won't be good if things get out of hand, " Dong Er said.
"I agree, " Lin Huiyin said."He's a guest from afar after all. Just dissuading him from a distance will be sufficient."
After all, it was not her business, and Ouyang Ruoliu could not press the issue. But she did feel like it was an opportunity wasted.
Qian Xuedie, munching on her popcorn, suddenly said, "Huiyin, you seem to be keeping something from us." Her big, shining eyes were filled with an interrogative light.
