93: Chapter 93 The Show Begins

The plane took off smoothly. There were only sixteen seats in the first-class cabin of this flight, and Cao Xiao's group occupied six of them. It was nearly ten o'clock at night, and everyone was feeling a bit tired. He Yueyou also took out her eye mask, preparing to sleep.

"Sir, could I switch seats with you?" Just then, a voice sounded in Cao Xiao's ear.

Cao Xiao looked up and saw a balding, middle-aged man looking at him with a smile. Why would he switch seats when he was perfectly comfortable? Without a second thought, he said, "No!"

After speaking, Cao Xiao ignored him and adjusted his seat to sleep. Unexpectedly, the voice spoke again: "Sir, I serve as the General Manager of Junhua Trading Company. Could you give me some face?"

"Face? Do I know you? Please do not disturb my rest!" Cao Xiao turned to look at the balding man, frowning in annoyance.

He Yueyou, disturbed by the commotion, lost her sleepiness and looked up to size up the middle-aged man.

"Beautiful lady, I am Xu Junhua, the General Manager of Junhua Trading Company. It's a pleasure to meet you. Can we be friends?" Seeing Cao Xiao's reaction, a flash of anger crossed the balding man's face, but as he was about to speak, he saw He Yueyou look back at him. He immediately switched to a smiling face and spoke to her politely.

Cao Xiao finally understood; this man was after He Yueyou. Veins popped on his forehead. This grandson had the nerve to target his fiancée right in front of him and even asked him to give up his seat! Just as he was about to stand up, He Yueyou grabbed his arm and whispered in his ear, "Don't be impulsive. I know about Junhua Company. This company is obscure domestically, with branches only in a few large cities, but it has a lot of trade business with Africa. Its headquarters is also in Cape Town, with a market value of several billion. My father told me this company isn't very clean and trades with many local forces in Africa. Don't get excited yet; just send him away. We'll deal with him once you've established a foothold there."

Cao Xiao didn't care how much power Junhua Company had in Africa; if he could tolerate this, he wouldn't be a man. However, since Yueyou had spoken and it wasn't appropriate to make a scene on a plane, he noted it for later. He would find a way to deal with him once they reached Cape Town. Suppressing his anger, he looked at the balding man and said coldly, "My fiancée and I are going to rest. Please do not disturb us further."

Xu Junhua didn't leave after hearing Cao Xiao's words. Instead, he kept a smile on his face and said as if realizing something, "Oh, so she's your fiancée. You're quite lucky, sir, to have such a beautiful fiancée. Are you two heading to Cape Town? My company's headquarters is right there. South Africa is a beautiful country. If you don't mind, allow me to play the host once we arrive in Cape Town. It'll be my treat to take you two out for some fun."

"Oh, so Mr. Xu's company is in Cape Town. As it happens, we're going to South Africa for a vacation this time, and we're not very familiar with it. It would be great if Mr. Xu could show us around." Cao Xiao laughed, but it was a laugh of anger. He secretly signaled the bodyguards behind him who were about to stand up, telling them to sit back down. They understood and remained in their seats, silently watching the situation with seemingly casual glances. This Xu Junhua was incredibly thick-skinned; even after being told off, he wouldn't give up and even invited them for a tour. A normal person might actually be tempted, but a trip with Xu Dahua would definitely end badly. On his home turf, they would be at his mercy. But he was no ordinary person. Since Xu Junhua was so intent on seeking death, he would oblige him. Dealing with someone didn't necessarily require violence. Since Xu Junhua took them for tourists, he would make sure Xu Junhua lost both his lady and his soldiers this time.

"That's a small matter. I'll make sure you two have a great time in Cape Town. Here is my business card; please keep it safe. We'll get in touch after we get off the plane. I won't disturb your rest then. Once we reach Dubai, I'll take you two out for some fun." Seeing Cao Xiao agree, Xu Junhua said no more and returned to his seat, satisfied.

"Cao Xiao, what are you planning? You're not actually going to sell me out, are you?" He Yueyou whispered in Cao Xiao's ear.

"What are you thinking? Who in this world could afford you? Just wait for the show to begin and see how I deal with him. But you'll need to cooperate with me. In a bit, we'll do this..." Cao Xiao shared his plan with He Yueyou.

After hearing it, He Yueyou was eager to try. She had been a good girl since childhood and had never played pranks on anyone, so she found it quite interesting.

Cao Xiao glanced at Xu Dahua and saw he had already put on his headphones and eye mask to sleep. He leaned back and whispered to the bodyguards behind him, "From now on, pretend you don't know us. Just follow from a distance and don't let anyone notice."

The men nodded in agreement. Tracking and covert surveillance were their specialties. Since the boss wanted to play a prank, they would naturally cooperate.

After giving the instructions, Cao Xiao prepared to rest. He put on his headphones and calmly took He Yueyou's small hand. He Yueyou glared at him but didn't object, instead squeezing his hand slightly. Only then did Cao Xiao lower his eye mask and drift into a sweet sleep.

"Attention, passengers. The plane will land at Dubai International Airport in five minutes. Please fasten your seatbelts..."

"Ah! I'm so sleepy! Cao Xiao, wake up! Let go first, my hand is numb!" He Yueyou woke up and took off her eye mask. One of her hands was still being held tightly by Cao Xiao, and she couldn't pull it out.

"Uh, sorry, my hand is numb too, haha!" Cao Xiao didn't linger and moved his aching arm awkwardly.

"Hmph! You just wouldn't let go. You're not allowed to grab me next time," He Yueyou said, rubbing her arm and glaring at Cao Xiao.

"Haha, I want to hold it for a lifetime! Once isn't nearly enough," Cao Xiao said playfully.

"Stop it! Wipe your own face." He Yueyou handed him a wet wipe with a reproachful look.

As they flirted, Xu Junhua, sitting behind them, was staring at them with a dark face. However, Xu Junhua didn't notice at all that his current expression had already been caught by Li Quanshuo.

The plane landed smoothly. Cao Xiao and He Yueyou collected their luggage. At some point, Xu Junhua appeared behind them with three people: an enchantingly dressed woman carrying a briefcase, who looked like Xu Junhua's secretary, and two burly men in black trousers and white shirts wearing sunglasses, who looked like bodyguards. Cao Xiao had seen these three before; they were on the same flight but in business class, showing that their treatment was completely different from Duan Hong and the others.

"You two, I've already had someone book rooms at the airport hotel. Do me the honor of joining me for a late-night snack!" Xu Junhua approached and invited them with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, thank you for your kind invitation. My fiancée and I have finally made it abroad, and since we have time in Dubai, we want to go see the Burj Al Arab. Otherwise, it would be a regret," Cao Xiao said, pretending to be tempted but a bit hesitant.

"Brother Cao, don't be troubled. Since you want to see the Burj Al Arab, I'll cancel the rooms at the airport hotel. We'll stay at the Burj Al Arab tonight. Xiao Yun, call and book the rooms."

"Mr. Xu, you're so rich. Do you usually stay in presidential suites? I heard the Royal Suite at the Burj Al Arab even has toilets made of gold. Could you take us to see it?" He Yueyou stepped in at the right time, looking at Xu Junhua with longing eyes.

"That's a small matter. We'll stay in the Royal Suite tonight, and you can look all you want later. Xiao Yun, go book the best Royal Suite at the Burj Al Arab." Seeing the longing in He Yueyou's eyes, Xu Junhua didn't care about the room fee of tens of thousands of us dollars. Instead, he was even happier; He Yueyou's performance gave him hope. He tilted his head toward the enchanting woman who was making a call.

"Mr. Xu, you're really rich! A Royal Suite! Gold everywhere! Let's go quickly! I can't wait." Cao Xiao offered some flattery and spoke urgently. In his heart, however, he thought: The show has just begun. Keep being happy for now. You'll be crying later!
