Chapter 559 Intimidating and Terrorizing

"That is amazing." Liu Chin said. "Would you mind… introducing me to the people who made this? I would love to have a custom made artwork like this with my image on it. What do you think mother?"

"Absolutely," Lily said. "However, only people with black diamond cards have the privilege to meet my friend in person. Don't take this personally but… he is very private and secretive. He is very picky when it comes to his friends too."

"You mean… Mr. Fernando from GC Jewels?" Jiang Ruo said. She shifted her gaze back to Lily. "That chandelier… did he made that too?"

Lily nodded in response. She was very proud that she had a very close relationship with that profiteer.

"Magnificent. I have never seen such wonderful artworks!" Jiang Ruo clapped her hands together as she beamed. "You really should introduce us to this friend of yours. He is very talented." She added as if she just miss the fact that Lily said they would have to become a customer before they can meet him.

Of course, they would have to become a customer! They needed to buy something to meet Fernando. Or else how would she profit from all this referral? Lily smiled at the women's excitement. Maybe attending this party would be such a good idea after all.

Their conversation was suddenly interrupted when Zhuo Jingren walked inside with Secretary Go in tow. His face stern face softens when he saw Lily. He walked towards his wife without even glancing at the women that she was talking to.

"Hey, did you forget something?" Lily rose from her seat and kissed him. "This is Madam Jiang and Madam Liu as well as her daughter Miss Liu Chin."

"Hmmm… I will go to the study and will go back to the office." He said before turning his back on the other women in the living room without saying any word of greeting. This action immediately made Jiang Ruo and Madam Liu's face turned sour. The blatant disrespect was very obvious that turned scarlet.

"He is not very comfortable with strangers," Lily said, her tone apologetic but the absence of emotion in her eyes was apparent. She smiled. "But… I already told you that the last time that you were here, yes?"

Madam Liu and her daughter turned to look at Jiang Ruo as if asking for a confirmation. Jiang Ruo never mentioned about this matter and only told them that Zhou Jingren didn't agree to host the party.

"Oh… I— I must have forgotten about it." Jiang Ruo waved her hand. "Don't mind it… he is still young. I am sure he would learn to adapt soon." Who was Lily fooling? Zhou Jingren was a man known in the business world. Talking to other businessmen is a part of his job. How could he act like that in front of them?

She wanted to add something and criticize this behavior, however, she immediately remembered her husband's stern words about Lily. So she chose to swallow her fury and smiled instead.

"Hmm… he is the type of person that would not mind anything other than business." Lily said. "We have so many similarities… it is sometimes very frightening." Her point was simple, just like Zhou Jingren, she too would always prefer to talk about profits and business. "But it's alright… I'm sure you wouldn't understand that." Lily laughed.

Seeing the women's uncomfortable faces seemed to make her giddy. Lily's only goal is to make them uncomfortable as much as possible so they would avoid coming in here again. And by the looks of it, she feels that she is actually about to achieve her goal.

"My mother used to work in my grandfather's company before she got married." Liu Chin's voice was shrill and for some reason, Lily found it very irritating. The younger woman seemed to be in her early twenties too. "Actually, just like my mother, I am working in my grandfather's company right now too. So you saying that we don't understand that… is not true."

"Forgive Liu Chin. She is very impulsive sometimes." Madam Liu held her daughter's hands as she gave an apologetic smile at Lily.

"Is that so…" Lily smiled. "Miss Liu… being impulsive is not very good for business. Did your grandfather tell you about this matter?" Lily asked softly. She eyed Liu Chin's red face then shifted her gaze towards Madam Liu. "Madam Liu seemed to be really calm and collected. You should learn from her."

An awkward silence descended the room after Lily's words. These women were all equipped with years of scheming, how could they miss the poison in her tone? Lily wanted to say that Liu Chin didn't actually learn from her mother's calm character. Isn't that a direct insult to her upbringing?

Liu Chin opened her mouth to rebut, however, her mother was quick to glare at her. She closed her mouth, anger apparent in her eyes. Liu Chin never expected that Lily would be this kind of woman.

"Ah… Lily only means well," Jiang Ruo decided to make the environment lighter. She smiled at Liu Chin. "Please take it as an advice from a very successful businesswoman." She said. At this point, Jiang Ruo finds it hard to analyze Lily.

The woman was very unpredictable that just by thinking about her is making her dizzy. At one point, she already thought that they are already friends, then the next minute, Lily declined her offer and act as if nothing happened. All this… is making Jiang Ruo confuse. Was this because she was looking down on them for being just housewives?

"I guess… we have already accomplished our goal," Jiang Ruo said awkwardly. "It is best that we leave now. We still have some shopping to do." She tried to act excited but it was futile. She was unable to dispense the tense atmosphere with her words.

In the end, the trio bid their goodbyes to Lily. They all left looking more confuse and uncomfortable than before they arrived at Lily's mansion.

One minute she is smiling and welcoming the next she is throwing poisonous words behind her smile. This woman's inconsistency is very hard to analyze. In fact, they found this attitude very intimidating and terrorizing.

It is making them walk on eggshells around Lily!
