Chapter 68 - Fight For The Position

It wasn't an hour yet and social media has gone crazy with the arrived of Europe most power family. Plus, the affection between husband and wife were all over the net and the biggest topic of them all was the fact that their daughter was in the country as well, yet no one knew.

"My eyes are about to go blind seeing the love between Goddess Zhao and Lord Knightley. Can he not get any more romantic than this?"

"Biggest tycoon in Europe, listed amongst the top 10 richest in the world, sweet and romantic. You seriously must have lived a good life in the past to be blessed with such a husband. Why didn't I do well in the past #jealous."

"All of you guys are all over the net about the Goddess and her husband. Didn't you hear that their daughter could possibly be here as well. How come we all didn't know about her arrival, has the media lost their ability?"

Media outlets and entertainment companies are all busy as they try to get the news about the whereabouts of the Zhao and Knightley princess. The fact she is the heiress of the Knightley and Zhao fortune since she is favored and adored by the family.

...

In a high-end coffee shop, a group of elite wives gathered together as they gossip about the latest news.

"How I wish my son could marry the princess of the Zhao and Knightley. Wouldn't it be such a privilege?"

"Dream on, no one even knows what she looks like. All I know is she actually quite educated. She has won Nobel prizes for her advocacy and is very talented when it comes to arts and music."

"How I wish my daughter could be like her or at least be like her. Not just shop around all day, her father has spoiled her too much nowadays."

At that very moment, a young man walked in on them. One of the ladies looked proud as the other wives were impressed with his sudden appearance.

"Yun Bai, you're here." The woman got up her seat and approached the young man.

"Mother, Aunties... I was just passing by." Yun Bai greeted them, as he gave his mother a hug. "Aunties, let me pay for your meal."

"Thank you..."

"Mother, I'll see you at home then." Yun Bai then excused himself as he went ahead and paid for their meal at the same time went on his business.

As the young man left the group of ladies, they could not help it, but praise the woman for raising such a well-mannered son.

"Jingyi, your son is amazing. Why not set him up with my daughter?"

"You know, my sister-in-law actually has a daughter, she a few years younger than Yun Bai but she is quite talented."

Kong Jingyi was pleased to hear the noble wives fight over her son. Of course, they would fight over her son since he is talented and smart who wouldn't wish to have him as their son-in-law. If his son was not dating the daughter of the Long, she would prefer him to end up with the princess of the Zhao and Knightley family. Despite his son is only an illegitimate son no one would even dare look at him that way if he gets married to her.

"Lady now, my son is madly in love with the eldest daughter of the Long family. Like you, if he was single, I too hope for him to marry the Young Princess too, but my son's happiness is much more important than anything else."

"Your son is lucky then, isn't the eldest daughter of the Long an actress."

"I heard, she was doing well in her career, however... A few days ago, there were rumors about her almost causing someone's life."

The woman felt defeated after recalling the incident that happened. Since then she has been thinking if whether his son should continue dating the daughter of the Longs. The fact the girl actually tried to embarrass herself in front of Lady Zhao was an embarrassment.

"From what I heard it was all a misinformation of the media. I heard she actually friends with the young girl who was injured." She tried to cover with a little white lie.

"Media now a day, you can never really trust them."

"Apart from the new about the Zhao and Knightley, the rest is all rubbish and disgusting."

"Of course, all information about them are all true, who would dare slander them."

"Now Ladies, let not talk about that anymore. We are here to enjoy our time..."

...

Later that evening, Kong Jingyi returned to the main Yun's Residence.

"Miss Kong, welcome home."

The woman was furious in how the servants were treating her, but she has no choice but to live with it since she isn't the lady of the house.

"Jingyi, your here...."

The woman smiled seeing the man walking down the stairs, "President Yun, Bai told me to return home for the family gathering."

"Ah, come..." President Yun replied, showing no interest towards the woman.

Kong Jingyi clenched her fist frustrated that all these years the man has not shown any affection towards her.

At the same time, someone else has arrived...

"Young Master, Young Miss welcome home."

Kong Jingyi turned around surprised to see the young man and little girl again, "Shen, Little Yan it's good to see you..."

As usual, Yun Shen gave the woman a distant greeting whilst Little Yan completely ignored her and buried her head in her father's chest.

Kong Jingyi was in rage inside annoyed how the two treated her as if she was someone so inferior amongst them.

'One day, all of you will regret how you treated me. Just you wait, you'll all be begging and kneeling before me. Just you wait...'

Yun Bai walked out looking for the woman who seems to be in a daze, all alone by the foyer. "Mother, is something wrong?"

The woman snaps back to her senses after hearing the young man's voice, "Bai, I'm fine..."

They headed together to the dining hall to be with everyone else.

Yun Lingxin (Second Master) looked at the man seated in the center and said. "Brother, I heard father will be returning to the country soon?"

"I didn't know father is coming back..." Yun Zexian (Eldest Master) added.

President Yun (or Yun Shizhen) paused from what he was doing and looked at his two brothers, "He called last time saying he might be coming back soon, but he didn't specifically say when..."

Yun Zexian, who is the eldest looked at the man annoyed that he's not telling them the truth. Despite the fact that he was the eldest, their father left the company under their youngest brother Yun Shizhen.

"Shen, Little Yan sure has grown..."

Yun Shen ignored the man and continued eating his meal, he knew his uncle's true intention as to why he suddenly became concerned about Little Yan.

"By the way, Shizhen... Have you submitted the proposal to Lord Knightley?" Yun Lingxin (Second Master) asked, curious for he too was planning to submit a different proposal to the European King for investment.

"I dare not bother the man since he just returns, I'm sure he wishes to spend time with his daughter and wife first," Yun Shizhen (President Yun) replied.

"So it's true that the Young Princess is indeed in the country?" The young man (Yun Lin) stated whilst swirling his wine glass as he drank it.

The young lady (Yun Lei) chuckled hearing the man remarks, "Bro Lin, don't tell me you are interested in the Young Princess as well?"

"Well... maybe, as long as she not stupid and cause an embarrassment, I won't mind having her as my woman." Yun Lin (Yun Lingxin's son) smiled at Yun Bai with such mean intention.

Yun Bai clenched his fist as he slams it slightly on his leg, he was furious that Yun Lin dares to mention what happened to Long Yiyi.

Seeing the situation has become silent and awkward, Yun Shen stood up and grab Little Yan, "If you excuse us, it's best if we head home..."

"Shen... wait..." Zho Xinya (or Madam Yun) got up and chased after her son, leaving everyone in the table not surprised by the young man's attitude.

"And to think he's your heir..." Yun Zexian (Eldest Master) chip off his shoulder displeased of the situation.

Yun Shizhen (President Yun) was burning furious of what everyone was saying, he felt like chasing the young boy and casting him out.

'What will I do with that boy? To think he is my heir yet he cares nothing about the family or the business. Everyone is fighting for the position, yet he doesn't bother at all. Luckily Yun Bai is here… but… father won't be pleased if he takes over the company after me.'
