A Miao had no idea that she was being shadowed. The experience tonight made her heart and soul tired. The next morning, when the alarm clock rang, she was still dreamy. She cleaned up causally and rushed to the cafe on the corner of the street. Every day from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, she had to work there as a waitress. If she were late for one second, the fat landlady would deduct her salary of that day.
The salary would be her living expenses and related to her food and clothing at school, so she must treat this job seriously.
When it was time to get off work, A Miao started to worry again. She had to go to the company to receive the Dur*x that she was going to give out this evening, but yesterday she lost the box that was used to pack Dur*x. Moreover, the key was that the chicken costume had been broken.
"It's all his fault—the man who was not in his right mind. It must be him who has broken it!" A Miao cursed indignantly and then nerved herself to enter the company.
Half an hour later, she walked out with a dejected look.
"Our costumes are customized from abroad. Since you broke it, the previous deposit of 500 yuan will be the compensation you shall pay us. Also, a salesman said yesterday that you didn't distribute our products well and threw them on the ground. I don't think you are suitable for this job."
A Miao felt like weeping but had no tears. Now that was it. She had lost money and her job at the same time.
"Fu*k, damn psycho!" She began to curse the man she encountered last night.
What should she do now? She had to find a job again, otherwise, there would be no tuition fees for school.
Just as she was wandering on the road, the copycat mobile phone that cost her 200 yuan rang.
"Hey, A Miao, where are you?" Zhou Xiao shouted over the phone.
Only she would call A Miao because A Miao only had this friend.
"What happened?"
"Come back quickly, your family is here!" Zhou Xiao hung up the phone after finishing speaking.
A Miao stood in the same place for a long time. Her family came? How could someone come to see her from her family...
At the same time, Shen I was putting A Miao's information on Shen Xinglan's table.
"The granddaughter of the Xia's consortium..." Shen Xinglan looked at the woman in the photo, who was very delicate, but her triangular dull eyes had destroyed her entire facial features. He should be glad that he had been so strict to himself last night.
Shen I saw the disgusted expression on his face and quickly said, "This woman is called A Miao. She is 21 years old this year."
"No surname..." Shen Xinglan meditated.
Shen I continued, "She is an illegitimate daughter and her father's whereabouts are unknown."
This incident was very well-known in City S in those days.
A Miao's mother, Xia He, was the only daughter of the Xia family. Because of her beauty, she was very famous in the circle. People had speculated that the Xia family was going to be connected through marriage to the Bai family, who was a real estate tycoon at the time until the news that Xia He had had a child before marriage was exposed.
"Xia Yongqiang is really hard-hearted." Shen Xinglan looked at the report while listening to Shen I, "He drove his only daughter out and disowned her."
"Yes. Xia He died of illness when A Miao was twelve years old. Since then, she lived in an orphanage for three years until she was adopted by her mother's friend. But, because she had no money and her life was tough, she was just admitted to a college this year."
In a few minutes, Shen Xinglan had finished reading the information on the 20 years of life about A Miao and threw it into the trash can with dislike.
"Are you sure there is nothing else?"
Shen I felt that his words sounded cold. He didn't know why his boss wanted to bring this girl back. At first, he thought his boss must like her. But when he saw her photo, he thought it was impossible.
"Nothing... left!" His eyes wandered around. The woman's experience was simple, and there was nothing suspicious.
Shen Xinglan sneered and said, "Are you sure? Then tell me, how did a very simple woman steal my jade pendant from my neck...?"
When he ran out that night, the jade pendant was still with him. Later, the only one who had touched him was this woman named A Miao.
"I'll check it right away!!" Shen I was in a cold sweat. The jade pendant was the thing that the boss's mother left him. If it were really lost, the woman would die.
Behind the glitz of every city, there were dirty and dark corners. Even if there were villas and luxury cars everywhere, there would always be a group of people working hard for three meals.
A Miao's home was in Eastern City, where the people from the bottom of society lived. Zhou Xiao, who called her, was her neighbor. Since A Miao knew things, she had been living in the block housing until her mother died. Later, she was taken to the welfare home and did not go back until she is fifteen.
"A Miao!" Zhou Xiao stood at the black door of the building, "Look, those people came here by car."
She noticed that a black car was parked not far away, and she did not know the logo on it. In her cognition, there were two kinds of most expensive and best cars; the one with four circles and the other with a blue and white circle as their logos.
"This car must be very expensive!" Zhou Xiao enviously reached out her hand but withdrew it immediately.
A Miao shook her head and asked, "How many people have you seen? Male or female?"
"Three, two men and one woman." Zhou Xiao was excited again. "The woman is so beautiful. The pearl necklace on her neck is so big!" She gestured. "A Miao, is it possible that your dad comes back to you?"
A Miao said that it was impossible, but she felt excited in her heart. Her mother told her before her death that her dad didn't abandon them. He couldn't come back because he had difficulties. After so many years, did he really return?
"Zhou Xiao, I'll go home and have a look." She waved her hand nervously and went upstairs against the wall.
Her home was on the third floor and there was no light in the corridor, but A Miao was too familiar with it. She went faster and faster and finally, she began to run. When she got close to her home, she suddenly stopped and slowly moved toward her door.
"Why hasn't she come back? It's dirty here." A woman's voice came out of the house.
A-Miao's heart pounded, and her hand that just reached out stopped in midair. "I told you not to come here but you didn't listen to me. You insisted on coming." Another voice sounded. It was a man. "Mr. and Mrs! Would you like me to check outside?" As soon as his voice died away, the door was suddenly opened. Not only A-Miao, but the people inside the room were stunned. "Ah! Miss Second is back." The young man in a suit shouted. A-Miao saw a man and a woman standing inside, and the woman actually was stepping on her towel. "You are back!" The man smiled and greeted her. "Come in." The woman was wearing a cheongsam, with exquisite makeup on her face. Although she was laughing at her, A-Miao could tell that she did not like her. "Who are you?" She was afraid to go in and asked at the door. The man seemed to be trying to make himself look gentle, "We are your
A-Miao looked back and saw Zhou Xiao staring at her with tears in her eyes. "My mom told me that you are going to live in a rich family. Can't we see each other in the future, can we?" A-Miao smiled, "Yes, I will come back for you!" "Really?" Zhou Xiao asked, "You will be pampered in the future. Will you still be my friend?” "Don't talk nonsense. I will always be me." A-Miao hugged her. "Take care of my house. I will come back!" Zhou Xiao nodded hard and guaranteed, "Hmm! I will. I promise you that the house will be clean when you come back." The car slowly drove out of the dirty and narrow street. A-Miao looked back at the small building which looked farther and farther and suddenly became scared. "Don't worry. We will take good care of you." Xia Haixin looked at her and said to the driver, "Go to the mall." When Yao Lili understood what he me
Yao Lili muttered and shouted, "Come on, we are waiting for you for dinner!" Hearing no sound outside the door, A-Miao began to smear her face until it turned dull yellow and her eyes became lifeless. Then she took a deep breath and said, "Mom, look. They found me even I have disfigured myself." "Don't worry!" She clenched her fists and cheered herself. "No matter what they want, I won't let them succeed!" Going downstairs into the dining room, she found a few more people. One of the girls, who was at the same age as she, shouted with anger as soon as she saw her. "She is so ugly. How can she marry Brother Bai!?" "Marry?" A-Miao caught the point. No wonder they had to take her back. They wanted to sell her! Xia Yongqiang pounded the table, "Sit down and eat." A-Miao did not listen to him. She asked, "I still want to make it clear. Since you didn't recognize me
"Are you familiar with that Bai XX?" Xia Wan bit her lip, "We just have known each other since we were young." "So because you don't want to marry him, they have to take me back to be a substitute!" A Miao quietly questioned, "Then you don't like him?" "Of course not, I have always regarded him as my brother." Xia Wan looked embarrassed, "But..." A Miao didn't wait for her to finish speaking. She stood up and stretched herself, "Let's talk about it later. Anyway, you won't let me go. I am going to sleep!" Xia Wan did not expect that A Miao just left like this, and when she reacted, A Miao had already gone upstairs. "Is she really so stupid?" Xia Wan frowned. "Or she really needs money?" Thinking of the information that the Xia family had obtained through the investigation, she guessed that A Miao was really willing to get married because she didn
In an instant, the room fell silent. Shen Xinglan looked at her fiercely, "Say it again." A Miao suddenly realized that she was a hostage at this moment, so she huddled. She felt that the man in front of her was exuding an aura that he was going to eat her, so she took a few steps back and hid behind those who caught her. "Cough-cough, lady..." Shen I asked nosily, "Did our Boss use your Dur*x?" As soon as his voice fell, he felt that his boss's sinister gaze swept over. Everyone quietly retreated, leaving only Shen I, who was digging his own gave, and A Miao, who was unclear about the situation. "Shen II, call Shen III to come back." Shen Xinglan smirked and said, "Shen I will replace his position." A bunch of people dragged the struggling Shen I to leave, and A Miao would like to go with them very much. "Did I allow you to go?" The door in front of her closed. A Miao thought for a
When Yao Lili found A Miao, she was playing with a treadmill in the gym. "Who allowed you to run around?" Yao Lili dragged her off. "Do you know that I have been looking for you for an hour?" When she finished doing her body care, she could not find A Miao. She thought that the girl had run away until the waiter at the door told her that no one was out. Then she began looking for A Miao. "I'm lost." Before Yao Lili got angry, A Miao looked at her pitifully and said, "I thought you abandoned me!" "I will leave you alone if you run around next time." Yao Lili also felt relieved. "Come on, let's cut your hair." A Miao peacefully followed Yao Lili. After returning to the villa, Xia Yongqiang checked her for a long time as if she was a commodity. "She finally looks white, and her eyes should be done as well." Xia Haixin added. Yao Lili pouted, "She cannot be
Wearing a pained look, Xia Wan was about to speak when she spotted A Miao. She immediately plastered a smile on her face and said, "Hurry over, A Miao!" A Miao walked over and stopped in front of them. She stared fixedly at Bai Youran. "Who is she?" Bai Youran was unhappy that someone was disturbing them. "I'm your future fiancee," A Miao said, beaming. "Please take good care of me." Bai Youran was momentarily stupefied before turning to look at his beloved woman. "Wanwan! Is your grandfather really breaking off our engagement?" "No, Youran... Please don't be like this..." Xia Wan's eyes were glistening. "No name is ever specified in the engagement. This is my cousin who has just recently returned. Grandfather said... Grandfather said that she will marry you." Bai Youran enveloped her in a tight hug. "I won't agree to this! Rest assured that I'll go home and talk to m
"Go, Boss is inside." After A Miao hung up the phone, she found an excuse to go to the supermarket to walk out. The man waiting for her was the former driver. He took her to a restaurant that looked very luxurious. "No one is here?" A Miao entered an antique room and looked around. Shen Xinglan sat on a sofa. He was more interested in making tea than A Miao. "I can't steal it." A Miao sat opposite him. For the first time, she was so close to Shen Xinglan. She found out that this guy looked so pretty... like a Chinese painting. He had perfect eyes and eyebrows which were so exquisite as if they were painted and his face was amazing and stunning. Especially at this moment, his hands were in the water vapor and looked like they were carved. He was so vivid like a perfect gentleman. "Pfft!" A Miao secretly rolled her eyes. "A perfect face could not turn a psycho into a better man."
