Chapter 67 Extremely Greedy Person

The slap was loud and packed with enough force to make Xuan Hui stagger backward. Disbelief was written all over his face.

"You-" 

"That slap was long overdue. It is for trying to kick me out of this place," Lily said coldly.

'Pa'

Lily gave Xuan Hui another slap on the other side of his cheek.

"That one is for the bruise that your grip will cause me," Lily said while straightening her back before giving Xuan Hui a smile as if nothing had happened. "If you still want to talk then feel free to call my lawyer."

Lily then turned around and walked towards her friends who were ahead of her. "Ban them," she said to Fernando. She spoke loud enough for Xuan Hui and his friends to hear her.

"You can't do that! So what if you are a little rich? We are still VIP clients of this club!" Xia Leizhuo was quick to argue. He had been a frequent customer of this club. How could anyone just kick him out? Moreover, that man was a foreigner. 

"VIP?" Fernando smirked. "Your VIP status is nothing because I am the owner of this place!" Fernando immediately signaled his men to escort all of them outside, without giving them another chance to speak.

Highlights was just one of the many clubs that Fernando owned all over the world. The man loved to party and dance and so he started investing in private and high-end clubs.

….

"So you are planning to invest in Xuan Films?" Lily smiled as she took a sip of champagne in her glass. Lily and Mr. Martin were currently having a private discussion in one of the VIP booths. While Li Shanshan and the others were having drinking contests.

"Yes… I was. But I changed my mind after what happened tonight," Mr. Martin said. "I am going to cancel all my meetings with Mr. Xuan first thing tomorrow."

"Don't," Lily said. "Xuan Films is an extremely profitable company. As a businessman you should not miss this opportunity." A cunning glint was apparent in Lily's eyes that Mr. Martin didn't miss. He nodded knowingly. 

He had been in the business industry for years now so he naturally understood the meaning behind Lily's words. Just like him, Lily also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. "What is your proposition?" he bluntly asked.

Mr. Martin had witnessed Lily's displeasure with Xuan Hui earlier and he knew that she could not possibly have any good intentions towards the latter. Mr. Martin was not a fool. He knew that Lily was a level-headed businesswoman who never let her emotions get the better of her. This ability of hers had contributed to her success as a businesswoman. He was confident that Lily already had a plan against the Xuan Films.

"For now…" Lily smiled at the man. "I don't have a plan. Xuan Films is simply not my priority."

"I see…but in the future?" Mr. Martin asked.

"Well… let's just say, I am an extremely greedy person." Lily let out a small chuckle. " I will let you know my plans after I've settled down in this country."

"Settle? You are not coming back to London?" Mr. Martin asked.

"My husband… is from this country," Lily answered.

"Husband?" Mr. Martin raised an eyebrow.

"That would be me." Zhuo Jingren suddenly appeared. He sat down next to Lily and kissed her hand. Then, he turned his attention towards the old man across from Lily and introduced himself, "I am Zhuo Jingren. Lily's husband." His action was so smooth and graceful that Lily was speechless. It was as if he had been introducing himself as her husband for a long time.

Of course, her awe vanished as quickly as it came when she remembered how Zhuo Jingren was already introducing himself as her husband even before she had agreed to marry him.

"Good! Very Good! I did not expect to meet you as well." Mr. Martin let out laugh before he held out his hand to shake Zhuo Jingren's hands. "I am Xander Martin and I am from the film industry in Europe. It is my pleasure to meet you Mr. Zhuo."

"It seems that I missed a good show?" Zhuo Jingren said while smiling sweetly at Lily. But his eyes darkened when he saw a purplish mark on Lily's fair arms. Someone dared to hurt Lily? Were they looking to die?

"Hmmm… you better ask your men to make sure whatever happened tonight does not get leaked out of the news. I don't want too much exposure," Lily said to Zhuo Jingren. Lily had not established herself in Hong Kong yet and too much exposure could cause some complications. 

Mr. Martin was actually right, Lily wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to try and get into Xuan Films but she was planning to do it slowly and meticulously. Now that Xuan Hui was aware her identity, it wouldn't be too long before the Qins would know as well.

This could only mean that trouble would be coming for her in the next few days.

The three of them then continued their conversations that were centered around businesses in Europe. Zhuo Jingren's knowledge about the business climate in Europe surprised Lily. In fact, his analysis was quite on par if not better than Lily.

This only made her smile. She felt like she had made the right decision to marry the man. Be it looks, money or intelligence, he was topnotch ah.
