Avenge For Love novel Chapter 5

He was only 20 years old, yet he looked much more older and mature. The man had black hair which was tied up neatly into a bun. His eyes were black and focused on his work of art. The sun shone on him, making his already handsome face even more brighter.

"The Wu family is holding a banquet in a few days. It seems like the banquet is for the Eldest Di, Wu Xingxie." The masked man told the man sitting before him.

At the mention of Wu Xingxie, his superior released an aura so strong, the masked man fell to his knees.

"Forgive this servant!" He begged, fearing for his life. His whole body was sweating and if this continued, he would surely pass out.

"Wu Xingxie?" His master asked in his deep, rich voice. Hearing his question, the masked man nodded quickly. Why would his master ask about Wu Xingxie?

He wondered, but then recalled how she was the capital's most beautiful woman.

Could he be interested in her?

No way, the master hated woman!

Or maybe Wu Xingxie offended his master?

Yes, that has to be the reason!

The masked man prayed for Wu Xingxie in his heart. Although he didn't know her, anyone who earned the master's wrath would not live to see the sun again.

"Since this is an invitation, we'll have to go." He heard his master say.

Oh no!

He was really going to hurt Wu Xingxie.

Even though he was worried, the masked man also wanted to see how she looked like.

"Does this painting look nice?" His master asked and the man looked up.

He wasn't paying attention to the picture but now that he saw it finished, his jaws nearly dropped. Everyone knew how the master loved to paint as a hobby but this picture seemed too real!

Not only that, the master painted a picture of a woman! It was a woman!

The woman in the painting was truly alluring. The masked man had seen many beautiful women in real life, but this woman in the painting captivated him.

"Master, who is this woman? She's so charm-"

Before the man could finish his sentence, a blade was thrown at him.

He almost didn't dodge it, as it left a cut on his left cheek.

"Who threw that!" The masked man yelled looking around.

"You should train your servants better." A man's voice said in a teasing tone.

"Leave." The master ordered and the masked man reluctantly complied.

"Bao Ling, Bao Ling, I haven't seen you in a while." The voice of the man spoke again.

The master called Bao Ling remained silent as he admired his own artwork.

Being ignored, the other person finally revealed himself.

"Don't ignore me!" He whined walking up to the man sitting down.

"Slow down." She warned him even though she was glad he was eating. He could choke if he ate too fast.

"Eldest Miss, are you not going to eat?" Yuyan asked seeing as her miss had a face veil on and had not touched the food yet.

Xingxie smiled under her veil.

"I will, but I want Xuan'er to eat his share first."

"Eldest Miss is so kind. Taking care of the Seventh Young Master."

"I am his jie, so it's my duty to protect him."

If not, those evil people will take his life before I can do anything.

Wu Xingxie kept the last part in her heart.

The servants of the Wu manor finished the preparations in just three days. After all, the Master Wu was going to use this chance to reveal his eldest daughter although they knew the Madam wasn't quite fond of her.

The banquet hall was prepared with seats for the designated guests and in the middle was a platform for the performers. Master Wu instructed everything himself because everything had to be perfect. He even warned the servants that if one thing is messed up, the one responsible would be beaten and then sold off. He told them they better act right which the servants understood right away.

He was warning them to treat the Eldest Miss properly and not give her the cold shoulder.

The same for his other children because he knew they would try and embarrass Wu Xingxie. In the past, Wu Xingxie tried to befriend them and they would insult her, but the girl would simply smile and take in everything.

This time however, Wu Xingxie wasn't going to let them be satisfied.

At around noon was when the guests started to arrive, each from other noble families. They weren't here for the food or entertainment. They were really attending to see how much of the rumors surrounding the Eldest Di was actually true. Inside their hearts, many were hoping for it to false because the girl seemed to not only be beautiful but also a genius as it was claimed.
