Chapter 909 Their Female Partners (Part Two)


    The Yu family''s customs business, for example, had immensely grown in recent years. Currently, the


    business was almost a monopoly. Besides, there was no corner of the city that the family''s underworld


    As for Amanda, the Wang family''s old money alone would have been enough. But her father''s recent


    rise to the position of chief of the Public Security Bureau had added yet another badge the family''s


    already decorated history.


    On Greg''s part, although born into aristocracy, he put his best in everything he did. Perhaps, the best


    proof of his passion, dedication and hard work was his meticulous academic record, graduating

    valedictorian out of med school. Now, under his leadership, his family-run XS Hospital had expanded


    and bought out all the private hospitals across the city. His power too could never be overlooked.


    However, the indisputable number one aristocrats of the city were the Ouyang family. For generations,


    their deep pockets had held sway not only in the city but countrywide. And today, the beautifuldy by


    Greg''s side was an Ouyang.


    "Just look what beautiful couples they make!" someone from the crowd said.


    "You are absolutely right! They look so perfect together!" agreed a neighbor.


    But the third guy nearby disagreed. "It may not be as easy as you imagine. It''s no secret, for example,


    that the Yu and Wang families don''t get along well. If their history is anything to go by, a marriage


    between the two would be dead on arrival. It would be like trying to mix water with oil, if not worse.


    What''s more, Greg is the son-inw to the Chu family, will he divorce their daughter to marry Miss


    Ouyang?"


    "That is impossible!" He concluded. Everyone knew how Lawrence doted on his younger sister, who


    was Greg''s official wife. If anyone dared?rub her the wrong way, big brother wouldn''t hesitate settling


    the score for Violet.


    As Greg and Mike made their way through the audience, arm in arm with their girls, the conversation in


    this particr corner briefly shifted to Lawrence.


    "True, it''s impossible for Greg to walk out on Lawrence''s sister that easily," added ady, who


    apparently had a crush on Lawrence. "But personally, Lawrence has always been the guy of my


    dreams. I''d do anything just to be with him," she effused.


    ...


    But somewhere in the crowd, Alice had also noticed the four people at the gate.


    Wearing a beautiful smile, she gracefully sauntered towards them, with a ss of wine in her hand.


    "Hi Greg, Mike, anddies!" she greeted them sweetly, walked beside Mike and linked her arm into his


    on the other side to the chagrin of Amanda.


    But Amanda wasn''t jealous of Alice''s intimate gesture. She had heard about Alice as Lawrence and


    Mike''s close friend. It was said that she had a good rtion with Lawrence''s sister, thus the two


    cherished her in return.


    However, Mike''s reaction took Amanda by surprise. "Oh, you''re such a trickster. You made it here


    earlier than me?" he said, almost teasingly. Amanda had never seen him smiling at her like that. For


    the time they were together, Mike had always been polite and distant, or even vignt.


    "Yes. Lawrence is also here and he is at the rest room with Tim," Alice said.


    Amanda and Melisa couldn''t be more familiar with the mentioned names. They even knew that Tim was


    Greg''s best friend, also the man Alice married.


    "Wow, they made it early too?" Mike then turned to look at Greg.


    "How about we go meet them?" Greg proposed.


    The moment Mike put forward the proposal, Melisa was very concerned. "The two of you should go.


    Amanda and I will look around the hotel, and you can go down when the party starts," she said to Greg.


    "Yes, that''s a good idea!" Amanda agreed.


    It was reasonable proposal to Greg and Mike too, so they agreed and turned away, leaving Amanda


    and Melisa behind.


    They thought Alice woulde with them, but strangely she stayed back with thedies.


    Amanda and Melisa knew Alice well. They were aware that Alica had quite a resume. Even the most


    influential men like Greg and Mike respected her. Raking in millions of dors form her internationally


    acimed fashion designs, Alice Lu was a name to reckon with, even among the super-rich. And apart


    from money, she had influence and connections in the elite circle, too, benefited from her designing


    business.


    "Nice to meet you, Miss Lu! I am Amanda Wang!" Amanda broke the ice, extending her hand for


    greetings.


    "Nice to meet you, too!" Alice returned the kind gesture, but immediately continued, "Are you Mike''s


    girlfriend, if I may ask?"


    "Oh, no! I am just his female partner tonight!" Amanda exined.


    "Oh, I see," Alice smiled knowingly but didn''t say a word more. She then turned to Melisa.


    "Hello, Miss Lu!"


    Instead of epting Melisa''s greetings, Alice asked, "Miss Ouyang, are you also here to attend the


    party as Greg''s female partner?"


    "Yes, Miss Lu! I am just his female partner. I know that Greg is married and I also know that his wife is


    your best friend." Alice had all these information at her fingertips, but she still asked so to pick out what


    Melisa and Amanda were thinking.


    "You are right! Violet is indeed my best friend! We are like sisters!" Alice responded and gave her a big


    smile. She then stretched her hand to hold Melisa''s.


    "I understand you guys must be tight," said Melisa Ouyang. "Actually, my dad says the friendship


    between your families goes some generations back. Plus, I also know that Miss Violet, Greg and you


    were ssmates at one point," she added, a smile crossing her face. At this point, Melisa Ouyang was


    no longer uptight. She seemed she''d have talked on were it not for a waiter who came by to serve them


    wine.


    "Miss Ouyang, I think we could be good friends in the future," Alice said, implying that she shouldn''t hit


    on Greg. However, though Melisa had expressed that she had nothing going on with Greg, It couldn''t


    stop her if she really admired Greg.


    "Let''s have cheers for our future friendship!" Melisa Ouyang proposed as she lifted the ss for a toast


    with Alice and Amanda Wang.


    Then they gracefully engaged in some small talk and heartyughter while they sipped their wine.
