Since Master Xia had wanted her to go, A Miao had to go shopping with the sisters.
Every time Xia Mei bought a new dress, she would give A Miao a triumphant look. A Miao only saw the clothes she tried on in magazines or on TV, but these were meaningless to her. Only Xia Wan passed her a dress when she found that A Miao had not spoken a word.
"Come on, try this on!"
A Miao didn't take it. She said, "No, I don't buy it."
"It's OK, it's my treat." Xia Wan smiled and said, "We are sisters. Don't stand on ceremony."
Xia Mei grabbed it from her, "Sister, why are you paying for her? I will take this one."
"Xia Mei..." Xia Wan wanted to take it back but A Miao stopped her. "You can take your time and I will wait for you over there." Seeing her pointing at the rest area, Xia Wan thought for a while and said, "Well, you can go to the hotel upstairs. There is a very good dessert shop there. We will find you there later!"
A Miao nodded and turned to take the elevator. At the moment the elevator door closed, she saw a man running toward the Xia sisters.
"Bai Youran?" A Miao shrugged. "What a coincidence..."
As expected, when Xia Wan and Xia Mei came to the dessert shop, Bai Yuran was following behind them. When he saw A Miao, his face darkened.
"Wanwan, why did she come with you?"
A Miao ignored him. She stood up and sat down at another table, but Xia Wan dragged her back. "Youran, don't be childish like Xia Mei. A Miao is not only my sister... she is your fiancee..."
When Xia Wan talked about this, her voice was obviously lower, which sounded like she was suffering some grievances. Bai Youran immediately stared at A Miao and said, "Wanwan, don't worry. I won't marry her!"
"Brother Bai is right. She is too ugly to match Brother Youran." Xia Mei said and gloated.
Xia Wan embarrassedly looked at A Miao, "A Miao, don't mind. They will understand, you..."
"Do you say enough?" A Miao pushed her hand. "Can I go now?"
"Go back yourself!" Xia Mei waved to the waiter, "I want to eat something."
A Miao turned around and was about to leave until Xia Wan stopped her, "You can't go back alone. Grandpa will be upset. Come on, sit and have a cake!"
"She sits there!" Xia Mei pointed at the table next to her.
Bai Youran reached out and wanted to stop Xia Wan when a waiter came with a bottle of drink. Xia Wan raised her hand from nowhere and spilt it all over on A Miao.
"Ah!" The ice fell on A Miao and made her scream and tremble.
Xia Wan was panicked and helped her up, "I'm sorry! A Miao, I didn't mean it. You are... all wet."
A Miao was wearing a white dress today which was tightly attached to her body after being wet, and even her underwear was clearly revealed.
"Well..." Taking a deep breath, she squatted on the floor and looked at Xia Wan, "Can you buy me a dress?"
Xia Wan quickly flipped over in the bag, "Well, you can wear this. I will accompany you to the bathroom!"
"She can go on her own." Bai Yuran quickly said. Xia Mei was going to heel until a waiter next to them apologized and said, "I'm sorry. The water pipes are broken, and now the bathroom is in maintenance."
A Miao asked him with her hands covering on her chest, "What about the men's bathroom?"
"The whole pipe system is cracked and none can be entered."
Xia Wan took a piece of clothes and covered her, "It's OK. Let's go and get a room. You can take a shower."
After seeing Xia Wan help A Miao to leave, Xia Mei pouted and said, "Brother Youran, do you really want to marry that ugly girl?"
"Of course not!" Bai Youran was very nice to Xia Mei, who he knew since she was a child. He stroked her head and said, "You know that I like your sister."
Xia Mei's eyes darkened, "Grandpa wants to marry her to others!"
Bai Youran didn't notice the expression in her eyes because he was excited. He snorted, "No, I will never marry the illegitimate girl."
"Well! Don't marry her."
At this time, A Miao had entered the room with Xia Wan. Xia Wan handed the clothes to her and said, "Have a shower and change your clothes!"
"You can wait downstairs. I will go to find you when I am ready." A Miao would not keep her here in case of exposing her disguise.
Xia Wan nodded, "OK, don't worry. You can take your time until you are done."
Seeing her leave, A Miao turned to the bathroom. As soon as she opened the door, a pungent smell rushed over. Her first reaction was to run, but her body became soft and she fell to the ground.
"It's hot!" A Miao lay on the ground and her face was ruddy. She resisted the urge to touch her body. She had never had this kind of feeling, but she knew that it must be due to the pungent smell in the air. "Are you alright?" A man's voice suddenly sounded out of the door. "Who are you?" A Miao wanted to lock the door, but she was so weak that she couldn't stand up. "Don't come in." As her voice died away, the door was pushed open. Shen I quickly dragged her out with his hand covering his face. "Have you died?" A Miao felt that someone was kicking her. When she opened her eyes, she saw Shen Xinglan looking at her with a sneer on the sofa. "Boss, shall I give her an injection?" A man squatted down beside her, holding a needle in his hand who A Miao had never seen before. She struggled to stand up. "You... what are you doing?" "What's that look on your fa
The moment the doors to the elevator opened, Xia Wan walked out of it. "A Miao? Why are you… Why are you here?" A Miao's mood brightened considerably after seeing the shock on Xia Wan's face. "Why wouldn't I be here? I have cleaned up. Did you come here to look for me?" "I… Haha! That's right!" Xia Wan put on an unnatural smile. "Oh, this reminds me. Did you see Youran?" "Nope!" A Miao feigned astonishment. "Did he come here as well?" Xia Wan did not bother replying and walked quickly toward the room. She pushed the door open and what greeted her was the sight of a naked Youran laying over Xia Mei and trying to pull her skirt. Panicked, Xia Wan rushed over to them. "Youran, wake up. She is Xia Mei. You can't touch her! Stop!" "Xia… Xia Mei…" Bai Youran's eyes were blazing red but when he heard Xia Wan's voice, he appeared to have become a little sober. Xia
In the end, Xia Wan failed to keep A Miao from leaving. When Xia Mei suddenly awakened, A Miao took advantage of Xia Wan's frustration. She shook off Xia Wan and escaped. The moment she walked out of the hotel entrance, she saw Shen I standing next to a car. "Boss wants to see you." He opened the car door. A Miao glanced at the car emblem and found that she did not recognize this one either. She curled her lip and entered the car. When she discovered it to be empty, she asked, "Where is he?" "Don't tell me you think that Boss would stay here and wait for you." Shen I looked at her through the rearview mirror. A Miao chuckled and lowered her head. "Just pretend that I didn't say that." The car journey appeared to stretch on. Only when the sky seemed to have completely darkened, did the car stop in front of the entrance into an appealing antique courtyard. She followed the man in black passing through the long
Dumbfounded, Shen I watched as A Miao walked over to him. "Chop off her hands and feed them to the dogs!" Shen Xinglan's bellow came drifting from inside. A Miao unabashedly shouted, "If you chop off my hands, you won't have anyone doing the stealing for you!" Moments later, it sounded as if something was being thrown to the floor. When Shen I heard nothing else with his perked ears, he looked at A Miao with a complicated expression. "Come with me." "What do you want to eat?" he asked when they entered another house. "Meat!" A Miao answered without hesitation. Shen I left without saying anything. A Miao looked around the room and realized that it was yet another attic. There was a pond outside and the water appeared hazy in the dark of the night and underneath the serene moonlight. "Wicked capitalist!" She felt a deep sense of envy and once again cursed out Shen Xinglan's eight gene
Bai Youran itched to throttle A Miao to death at this moment. With a face full of tears, Xia Wan had told him about the circumstances back then. She said that she had no idea what happened to him and Xia Mei until A Miao showed up saying that both of them were drugged. It was also A Miao who came up with the antidote. "Mom, I don't agree with the change in my fiancee. Get Grandma to tell the Xia family that we'll cancel the marriage alliance if I can't marry Xia Wan!" That wretched woman had schemed against him. Had Xia Mei not gone with him, he would have slept with that woman and he would have been forced to marry her. He would not have let A Miao off if not for the fact that Xia Wan worried about the impact on Xia Mei if this incident became public. Yan Huihong looked at her son and sighed. "Do you really like Xia Wan that much?" "This isn't about whether I like her or not." Bai Youran resolutely exhaled a breath of
At the end of May, the notable young lady of the Xia family, Xia Wan, held her 24th birthday banquet in their family villa. Every notable young ladies and young masters in their network were invited. Those in the older generation were well aware of how much Xia Yongqiang's greed had expanded over the years. They knew he was planning to pull two families, the Bai and Ji families, to his side. However, he would still have to get both families to agree. The Xia and Bai families had great relations over the course of three generations and the marriage agreement decided back then never specified names. Thus, the Xia family intended to marry off a girl who had come out of nowhere to Bai Youran. If the Bai family was to agree, it would be a loud slap across their faces. "Mom, I heard that the Xia family invited Shen Xinglan today." Yan Huihong appeared to be in a good mood on the outside but there was a hint of mockery in her smile. "The Xia famil
A Miao placed herself in front of Zhou Xiao. "This is my friend. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't show up in front of us." "What gives you the right to dictate that?" Xia Mei sneered. "This is my home! Do you trust that I'll go and get someone to throw her out?" "Very well. Go ahead and do it!" A Miao looked in the direction of the second floor. "Ruin Xia Wan's banquet and let's see who'll be the disgraced one in the end!" Xia Mei's expression changed. Truly, she had no courage to do so. She clenched her teeth. "Hey! You’d better be honest! If I catch you stealing things, I'll send you to the police station!" After threatening Zhou Xiao, she shot A Miao a glare before turning around to leave. Downstairs, Xia Wan appeared in the crowd with people surrounding her. Xia Yongqiang was currently introducing her to everyone. A Miao quietly brought Zhou Xiao to a corner of the hall. They sat
"Damn it!" A Miao cursed. She estimated that no more than two minutes had passed since the blackout. She could not make any more delay. However... The direction was headed toward the garden. She remembered that there was a large fountain there. She closed her eyes and in the next second, she turned around without hesitation. "Let her go!" The scene in the garden caused A Miao's anger to erupt. Xia Mei was suppressing Zhao Xiao at the fountain, forcing the latter's head into the water. A Miao ran to them and shoved Xia Mei aside. With a turn of her body, Xia Mei plunged into the water. "Zhou Xiao, are you okay?" A Miao helped Zhou Xiao sit down, frantically patting her back. "Ha... A Miao... Ha..." Zhou Xiao was gasping for breath. She then burst into tears and threw herself into A Miao's embrace. "A Miao! I thought I'm going to die! I nearly died earlier." Xia Mei pathetically c
