Chapter 617: Chapter 614: He hugged her tightly into his arms

Ming Yao was wearing a red chiffon shirt today, with black capri pants, the shirt tucked neatly into the waist of her pants, highlighting her slender waist that was barely a handful, and high heels on her feet, which made her look capable and neat.

She shook hands with the Vineyard owner, "President Ling, rest assured, I will take good care of this place from now on."

"President Ling, why did you sell the vineyard to her?" Gong Yue asked with a frown, her elegantly made-up face full of displeasure.

Luminous Pearl looked at Ming Yao’s sly little face, barely able to contain her anger, "Mom, she couldn’t have sold herself short to get this place, could she?"

Hearing what Luminous Pearl said, President Ling’s face changed dramatically.

He had sold the vineyard to Ming Yao because Mr. President had personally called him.

From what Mr. President said, he could tell that Miss Ming was his woman.

Where could he dare to covet Mr. President’s woman?

"Miss Ye, you can eat messy, but you can’t speak recklessly!"

Luminous Pearl gritted her teeth, "It was all agreed that you would sell the vineyard to us, but you signed a contract with Ming Yao ahead of time. If it wasn’t because she seduced you, then maybe..."

Suddenly, Luminous Pearl thought of Gu Siting. Could it be that he was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes?

Was he now helping Ming Yao and opposing them?

After all, her mother was also from the Gong Family; how could he keep helping an outsider?

Luminous Pearl was so angry she could grit her teeth.

President Ling didn’t dare to stay there any longer; the looks in Gong Yue and Luminous Pearl’s eyes were as if they were about to devour him.

After President Ling made an excuse to leave, only Ming Yao, Gong Yue, and Luminous Pearl were left in the office.

Luminous Pearl said with a pale face, "Ming Yao, you’ve bought this vineyard, but do you understand how to run a winery? Do you know that I’m an internationally renowned sommelier, and you don’t have any qualifications. You bought this place just to annoy us, right?"

Ming Yao curved her red lips slightly, "Tasting wine, do you think you’re the only one who can do it?"

Luminous Pearl’s eyes showed a mocking look, "Oh, you can too? I’ve never seen you at the wine tasting competition that’s held every two years."

Ming Yao raised her eyebrows slightly, "I remember that the new wine tasting competition is about to be held soon, isn’t it? I heard that last time, Miss Ye was very disappointed not to have won the championship. You’d better work hard this time!"

At the last wine tasting competition, Luminous Pearl was all but guaranteed to win the championship, but an anonymous contestant came out of nowhere to become the dark horse, taking the championship that was rightfully hers.

This time, Luminous Pearl had registered again. After two years of rest and improvement, she was absolutely confident that she could win the championship.

"Ming Yao, from the sound of it, it seems like you know a thing or two about wine tasting. How about we make a bet? If you join this competition and beat me, I won’t fight with you for the vineyard," she proposed.

"If you can’t beat me, you should gracefully give up this vineyard!"

The corners of Ming Yao’s lips lifted in an almost imperceptible smirk, "Miss Ye, this vineyard is already mine. If I beat you, are you saying you’ll just let me have the vineyard that’s already mine? Do you think that’s fair?"

Luminous Pearl gritted her teeth, "If you win, how about I give you my largest estate in France?"

Ming Yao smiled lazily, "Fine by me."

Gong Yue, hearing the conversation between Luminous Pearl and Ming Yao, pulled Gong Yue aside, "How can you give her the estate in France?"

"Mom, I just can’t stand her arrogant attitude. She clearly knows nothing about wine tasting, but she dares to pick at my scars. This wine tasting competition, I’m a hundred percent sure I can beat her. Just wait and watch!"

Gong Yue knew that Luminous Pearl had a certain talent and ability for wine tasting, so she wasn’t too worried.

What worried her more was Gu Siting’s attitude towards Ming Yao.

She couldn’t believe that Gu Siting didn’t know that she had her eyes on this vineyard, yet he didn’t inform her at all and directly contacted President Ling to give the vineyard to Ming Yao.

If one day Ming Yao wanted her life, would he really send someone to take her down?

Gong Yue was heavily preoccupied, so she didn’t stay at the vineyard much longer and left with Luminous Pearl.

Luminous Pearl looked at her mother, weighed down with heavy thoughts at not getting the vineyard, and couldn’t help but feel a surge of compassion in her eyes.

"Mom, at the wine-tasting conference, I will definitely avenge you!"

Gong Yue had a vague premonition that something wasn’t quite right.

Did Ming Yao suddenly target her because she had discovered something?

"Zhuzhu, Ming Yao is not a simple person; she now holds the greatest weapon, which is Gong Siting. If she makes good use of him, Gong Siting could become the spear in her hand that will viciously wound our Gong Family!"

Luminous Pearl was deeply shocked.

However, she didn’t believe Ming Yao had that much ability.

"Mom, cousin is not a fool; he won’t willingly become a weapon for Ming Yao to attack us."

As Luminous Pearl spoke, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Ming Yao’s figure out of the corner of her eye.

She stood at the entrance of the Vineyard, on the phone with someone, her beautiful and cold face breaking into a seductive and charming smile.

When she smiled, she was as enchanting as one could be, making men’s hearts itch and women envious.

"Little vixen!"

Luminous Pearl gritted her teeth, gripping the steering wheel tighter.

She suddenly made a bold move.

The accelerator was stamped on fiercely, and she drove toward where Ming Yao was standing.

While on the phone, Ming Yao noticed Luminous Pearl’s approaching sports car from the corner of her eye.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

In broad daylight, what did Luminous Pearl intend to do?

Ming Yao stood in place, not moving an inch.

Gong Yue sat in the passenger seat, immersed in thought when she suddenly realized the car was accelerating, headed straight for Ming Yao. A hint of surprise appeared in her eyes, "Zhuzhu, what are you doing?"

Just as the sports car was about to hit Ming Yao, suddenly, a black Bentley came from behind.

The Bentley collided with the rear of the sports car with lightning speed, forcefully and aggressively.

Luminous Pearl wrestled with the steering wheel several times; finally, the front of the sports car hit a tree off to the side and came to a stop.

Luminous Pearl’s forehead hit the windshield, causing a cut from which warm sticky liquid began to flow down her forehead.

Gong Yue was also jolted but wasn’t hurt.

Seeing blood flowing from Luminous Pearl’s forehead, Gong Yue’s pupils contracted slightly, "Zhuzhu, are you all right?"

"Mom, my head hurts so much. I won’t be disfigured, will I?"

Gong Yue hugged Luminous Pearl, "No, you won’t be."

"Mom, who was tailgating me?" It was obvious that the car had done it on purpose.

Luminous Pearl rolled down the window and, along with Gong Yue, looked out.

They saw a tall and imposing figure step out of the Bentley behind them.

The man getting out was Gu Siting.

Seeing him, both Gong Yue and Luminous Pearl’s pupils shrank.

After getting out of the car, Gu Siting strode over to Ming Yao, who was still standing in place.

With a long arm, he forcefully pulled Ming Yao into his embrace.
