Yan Su chuckled. "Don't say that. How are you sure that you won't marry into rich family?"

"I just know. It's not that I don't want to marry into rich family, I just don't want to get married. I have enough now. I don't need more." Xue Lin said. Her interest was still in the piece of cake.

Yan Su laughed and said, "We will see about that."

As those two friends talked about marriage, Mu Lan and Mu Liang entered the ballroom with grandfather Mu Cheng.

Seeing the Elder Mu so healthy, those who were still bad mouthing Mu Lan shut up.

The royals and aristocrats came forward with wide smiles on their faces and greeted the Elder Mu.

"Elder, it's good to see you healthy." One of the royals said.

Mu Cheng smiled at that man and said, " Of course, I'm healthy because certain someone is very strict about my health condition."

The others' smile stiffed. If they knew that the Elder Mu would praise his future granddaughter-in-law so openly, they wouldn't bad-mouth her.

If any way they angered the Elder, the relationship between Mu Family and them would be crashed; and breaking the relationship with Mu Family meant no chance to survive in business world.

Mu Lan already welcomed all the guests who came. So she walked forward to greet the musicians and the waiters, also gave them some instructions.

"Ms. Lan, I have been awaiting to meet you." A voice was heard from behind her.

Mu Lan turned around and saw a tall man with build body. A masculine scent was coming from him.

Mu Lan smiled warmly and said, "Mr. Mohammed Akram, it's an honor to meet you. Thank you very much that you spent your time with us. Also I apologise for my delayed meeting. I was sick for two weeks."

Mohammed Akram's pupils contracted. He looked shock for a second before coming back to normal. It was so quick change that Mu Lan wasn't sure if she saw correctly.

After recovering from the shock, Mohammed Akram said, "I don't mind at all. It's a good news that you have healed. I also appreciate that you instructed the servants to take great care of us. Even though you were sick, you carried out your duty perfectly well. I highly appreciate it."

"It's an honor to have guest like you." Mu Lan said.

"And it's an honor to have a hostess like you. I like this party. It's grand. You have worked hard." Mohammed Akram complimented her.

She said in reply, "I only instructed the servants, they deserve all the credits."

Though Mu Lan wanted to boost, she controlled herself and decided to be modest. She could boost how amazing she was at night in front of Mu Liang. All she cared about his sweet talks. She didn't care about what others say about her.

Someone interrupted their conversation. "Hello Miss Lan."

Mu Lan saw the guest and greeted him, "Hello Mr. Mohammed Alif, I hope you have had some wonderful memories here."

"Yes, I have, thanks to your hospitality and Mu Chen's guide." Alif looked around and continued, "By the way, I don't see My Chen anywhere. Do you have any idea where he is?"

Mu Lan answered, "He has his problems."

Mu Chen swore that he wouldn't go to any party which Mu Lan organized. Everyone agreed to it since no one wanted him to anything bad that would forsake the reputation of Mu Family.

"...I see…." Alif understood something.

"Please enjoy the party. The party has been organized only for you." Mu Lan said before leaving.

Mohammed Akram's eyes were glued on her back for a while. 'Interesting... very interesting…..'

What he saw ten years ago and what he just had seen now we're completely two different Lan. If his memory wasn't sharp, he would have thought that they were different girls.

When he thought of her change of personality, he noticed that she didn't recognize him. The Lan he knew ten years ago would never forget him. That clue only led him to one option.

She lost her memories.

Thinking of this possibility, he came to conclusion.

"Alif, did you prepare the contract which I told you to do?" Mohammed Akram asked his cousin.

Alif replied, "Yes cousin, I prepared it just the way you wanted. Shall I take it to My Liang?"

Mohammed Akram unhurriedly answered, "No, not him. Take it to Mu Feng."

His back had been pierced by a certain someone's glare when he was talking to Mu Lan. He realized that taking the contract to Mu Liang wouldn't be a wise decision. His plan would be in vain if this contract was rejected.

Alif didn't question his cousin's decision. He agreed, "Okay, I will take it to him now."

After Alif left, Mohammed Akram let out a low chuckle. 'Wait for me, Lan, you will soon be mine.'

His eyes were like he was a hunter looking at his prey.

--------

While Mohammed Akram was looking at the stage where his prey was, 'the prey' just announced Qi Ying as the Acting Mistress of the Mu Family.

Mu Lan said, "I hope that everybody will give their blessings to us and I also wish that no one thinks that I'm incapable so I handed my authority to Miss Qi. I'm happy to see everyone's smiley faces and that means my first time organized party made happy. That's my and my servants greatest gift from you."

The whole ballroom became silent until Mu Liang started to clap first, and soon other guests began clapping.

With her sweet voice Mu Lan bashed her narrow minded guests such way that their faces turned red in shame. They felt so humiliated and yet they couldn't say anything since they knew their mistakes.

The male guests laughed and the female guests gritted their teeth. But, all of them clapped.

Mu Liang let out a proud smile showed in his face.

However, the party was yet to over.
