The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 597: A meeting of six families.

When she was going to respond, Mantis pulled the phone away from her and ended the call.

"Sister, a few hours away from your husband will not kill you. This whole day is for you to relax, not think about children and your man or what they are up to. After you give birth, he will sometimes have to babysit on his own. Will you require him to give you a minute by minute update on what they are doing?"

A masseuse put two cool cucumbers over Alix’s eyes and facial mask. When she was finished, Alix responded to her friend’s question.

"It’s hard for me to relax when they are alone all day and i don’t know what they are up to. Last time it was a fight with monkeys, Xiaobo came home with a rash and...."

Mantis half groaned and half moaned, from the frustration of her friends very not so relaxed manner and the enjoyment of the deep tissue oil massage.

Alix removed the cucumber slices on her eyes and peeked at her friend.

"Hey, tell me the truth, you and Zhang Bo. What’s the situation there? Is there a thing or are you guys frenemies?"

"No thing." Mantis denied strongly.

"Mmm, i don’t believe you." frёewebnoѵēl.com

"He doesn’t like you know what. I don’t need to spell it out for you because you know what it is Alix. He is handsome, wealthy, sophisticated, smells good...."

Alix chuckled and wiggled her feet around, making the dance.

Mantis shrugged, not caring why Alix was chuckling. "My sense of smell is really strong so i prefer men that smell good."

"Okay, what else do you like about him?"

Alix was no Jin Kang but she really wanted to know about the affairs of Mantis and Zhang Bo.

"I..."

The door was opened and Zhang An walked in. Behind her, another massage table was moved in and it was placed in the space between Mantis and Alix.

"How could you guys leave me by myself? Alix, in this friendship i came before Mantis."

"I just followed directions, i didn’t choose my roommate," Alix replied.

Zhang An had moved when her massage was half-way done, so she laid done and it was restarted. "What are you guys talking about?"

"Nothing.." Mantis blurted out quickly.

"Zhang Bo." Alix answered.

Both answers came out at the same time and Zhang Am knew that Alix’s was the correct one. Mantis’s reply had come out a little too strong.

"Ouuh, what have i missed? Are you guys dating? If yes, i support you one hundred percent because you are pretty, educated, rich and tough. You are not one of us but you jumped into the family drama to rebuke Lexian without hesitation. I think you will be great as the next Zhang family matriarch, better than softie Alix or cold Yi Sao."

She turned her head Alix’s way. "No offense on the softie comment Alix."

"None taken." Alix raised her hands and shrugged. "I would not want to be the next Zhang matriarch, one it’s a position for the wife of the first son Two, disciplining people is not my strongest suit. I would end up breaking a lot more jaws than banishing people to temples. Besides, i have to continue growing my career, there is no time to learn the family laws."

Zhang An winced loudly. "I learned the family laws when i was five, those lessons sucked."

"Does that mean my babies will have to learn the family laws too?" Alix asked.

"Why do you guys even have family laws?" Mantis raised her own question.

"Forget the family law, tell me about my brother Bo. The last time is saw you together at the Alix’s concert, he was taking you home. My grandfather is already looking for an opportunity to meet your father, as far as he is concerned the relationship has been cemented. The elders are really eager to marry my brother off."

Mantis sighed, she was not ready for marriage but she had a spark for Zhang Bo. What was she going to do? She didn’t want to think about it at all.

"Let’s change the subject, Alix where are you going for a honeymoon?"

"Somewhere." Alix responded mysteriously.

"They are being so cagey about it." Zhang An laughed. "I think they are going somewhere in Europe, i know Caishen has always wanted to go there. Alix has never mentioned wanting to travel so....sister, is there somewhere you want to go?"

Alix considered for a few seconds but no one place came to mind. "Everywhere, the world is big. Maybe we will go to Egypt and look at the pyramids. Perhaps we could go to Florida__, hmm, what’s in Florida?"

"You mentioned it and you are asking us?" Mantis laughed.

"Because i like the name Florida." she replied. "Anyway, you will find out soon when we send you pictures from our honeymoon. For now, it’s a secret between me and my husband."

As the conversation continued and they discussed more random things, Alix found herself drifting off to sleep.

"Alix...Alix..." Zhang An called out twice.

When she didn’t get an answer, she lifted her head a little and noticed that Alix was sleeping.

"She is sleeping." she muttered.

Neither she nor Mantis wanted to ask her so they kept their voices down while continuing with their conversation.

*******************

Around the world at the same time, an online meeting was being held by eight people. Six of them were from the six families and their content of discussion was none other than Alix.

Current system bureau president Bishop was the one chairing the meeting. They had been discussing what to do about Alix’s continued growing popularity and what to do about it.

So far, they had all denied their families being involved in the botched poor excuse of an assassination attempt at her excuse.

It was useless to deny however because all of them had people that had been captured and they had admitted to their crimes.

Those people had been sacrificed of course, thrown away like useless chess pieces.

"Look, we are not going to make it far by denying and throwing accusations back and forth. The question we should be asking ourselves now is what next? Are we just going to step aside and give up the authority our families have held for years because one system hosts has decided she wants to change the way our world works? She is just another Genesis, she could be working for him and she must be stopped." President Bishop emphasized.

"So what do you suggest?" Anton Yeltsin, the representative of Antarctica asked.

"If we provoke the dark side into killing her it will save us all time and energy." Juan Soliz from the South American family suggested.

"The wedding is a perfect place to end her, it is also a firm way for us to make a statement." Obi James from the African branch laughed.

"Are you crazy? The security there will be tight." Someone rebuked him.

More suggestions were made and then accusations returned, making it impossible for them to come to an agreement.

The meeting came to an end, with no consensus reached by the families. They could not agree because with the seventh family gone, they were all looking for a way to benefit from the loss. If all others fell, only one could stand. One king was better than six kings and this was a chance for one family to gobble up everything.
