Li Yu Yan: "Fei Hong, will you be free this weekend?"

Tseng Fei Hong: "I'm free Saturday afternoon." She had plans with Li Na to go to the spa on Sunday. She had noticed that lately, Li Na would go out more and more without Li Yu Yan. Li Na would now even mingle with those not necessarily within the same social circles.

Li Na glanced at Tseng Fei Hong before looking down at her drink. 

Li Yu Yan: "Xiao Na we'll be meeting on Saturday at 2 pm at Shen Mo Chou's house."

Li Na: "Okay Jie." 

2 waitresses came over and put their mains on the table. 

...

Lai Shi-on: "My Oracle vibes are tingling."

Yao Changying: "You should probably have that checked out."

Lai Shi-on smirked he looked at the piece of steak that was perfectly marbled and glistening with juices. He proceeded to take a bite and reveled in the savory taste of the meat and the creamy mushroom sauce. 

Lai Shi-on: "I bet that blue and purple will confront Sister Xiuying one more time."

Yao Changying: "You don't need to be a fortune teller to work that one out. They'll ditch the people they're with and wait until they can get YingYing on her own before threatening her and tell her to watch her back or sleep with one eye open. The typical script for any villain."

Ren Daiyu: "Hmph. They won't get the chance to get YingYing on her own."

Li Xiuying shook her head: "Bait."

Yao Changying: "You want to use yourself as bait? I don't know if that's wise."

Li Xiuying: "Only way to find out their intentions."

They continued eating their meals. When Li Xiuying was done she leaned over to Ren Daiyu and whispered: "Look around and then point to the right-hand area for the ladies room."

Ren Daiyu followed the instructions and pointed to the right. Li Xiuying stood up and grabbed her purse: "Powder room."

Yao Changying was too enthralled in her dish that she completely forgot about putting the bait out. She reflexively asked: "Do you want me to come with you?"

Li Xiuying shook her head and then glided to the ladies' room. 

Lai Shi-on: "I bet that guy in the black suit will follow in about a minute."

Ren Daiyu curiously asked: "Not one of her cousins?"

Lai Shi-on: "No, they are probably still feeling the effects of their earlier humiliation. The guy in the black suit has been trying to subtly look over here without anyone noticing."

Yao Changying: "How did you manage to see what he was doing?"

Lai Shi-on: "From where I'm sitting I can see him from the corner of my eye."

Yao Changying and Ren Daiyu then realized that Lai Shi-on had moved his chair to a different position from before. 

Lai Yongliang: "Shi-on has always been adept at reading people."

Qilin: "Be it in the business world or in the fighting world."

Yao Changying: "Fighting?"

Lai Shi-on: "I do MMA."

Yao Changying: "Professional?"

Lai Shi-on: "Semi-professional. I just fight whenever I feel like it." His words had a deeper meaning that probably only he and his brother understood.
