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 down and began enjoying the light refreshments. Zhou Xiao saw how A Miao was focusing her attention on the dance floor and pondered over it before finally speaking.
"A Miao, you don't have to accompany me. You're also one of the hosts today. Go and speak to your guests!"
"This family has nothing to do with me." A Miao's mouth twitched.
"I'll excuse myself for just a short while. Be careful." She really must go over but it was not to entertain the guests.
Zhou Xiao nodded. "Don't worry. I'll stay here and won't go anywhere!"
Seeing that Zhou Xiao did not seem afraid, A Miao left with a peaceful mind. She slowly made her way near Xia Yongqiang.
"Mr. Shen, I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time. I'm very glad that you're able to attend my birthday banquet!" Xia Wan revealed a clean smile at Shen Xinglan. Inside, she quietly sighed over how good looking he was.
Bai Youran and the other young masters were no match for him at all. She was determined to marry Shen Xinglan!
"You're welcome." Shen Xinglan was still wearing a neutral expression. Seeing that his expression did not change, Xia Wan felt somewhat clueless.
The starlet next to Shen Xinglan smiled at her. "Happy birthday, Ms. Xia!"
"Thank you!" Xia Wan returned a courteous smile all while carefully observing the woman. Besides her pair of beautiful eyes, there was no part of her that could rival Xia Wan.
This boosted her confidence a little. Just as she was about to invite Shen Xinglan for a dance, everything before her eyes suddenly darkened.
"Ah!"
"What happened?"
"A blackout?"
Chaos immediately erupted inside the hall. The sound of women's screeches and chinaware falling to the ground resounded here and there.
Xia Haixin quickly turned on his phone to placate everyone. "I'm very sorry! We have neglected it. Please be patient. The servants have already gone to fix the fuse wire!" He stood atop a chair and shouted. Xia Yongqiang darkened his face, sitting aside. It was a great embarrassment to have a blackout on such an important occasion.
The guests gradually calmed down. The men all turned on their lights on their phones.
"Grandfather, did you see Mr. Shen?" Xia Wan noticed that Shen Xinglan had disappeared.
Xia Yongqiang said in a displeased tone, "Where do I find him in such darkness? Once the light comes on again, you must find an opportunity to talk to him."
Behind him, A Miao was slowly creeping over. She was so close to coming into contact with Xia Yongqiang.
"What are you doing? Let me go!" The sound of Zhou Xiao's voice drifted from the corner of the hall. Even though it was so noisy inside the hall, A Miao still heard her friend's voice because she had been keeping her eye on the corner all along. She whipped her head around.
Under the dim light, she saw Xia Mei clasping her hand over Zhou Xiao's mouth and dragged her out...
"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
"What's wrong with your car?" "The engine burnt out. I'm calling for a repairman." Bai Youran glanced at A Miao who was seated in the backseat without concealing his loathing at all. "Where are you going?" Xia Wan chuckled. "I'm treating A Miao to dinner today. Why don't... Why don't you come with us?" Thinking that he was being humorous, Bai Youran replied, "I'm coming along even if you don't ask me! I'll drive, so ask your driver to drive my car to your home." If it was Xia Wan who planned for their meeting with Bai Youran, then A Miao had become thoroughly stupefied after seeing Shen Xinglan in the restaurant... "Mr. Shen!" Xia Wan cried in surprise. "So you're also here for dinner!" Shen Xinglan was not alone and his female companion was a familiar face. A Miao felt like it was a face that she frequently saw on television. However, it was not the same one she met in Xi
A Miao was walking downstairs for her meal when she heard Xia Mei's voice. She then turned around to go upstairs. "Stop right there!" Xia Mei threw the photo at her. "It's fine if you embarrass yourself, don't get us involved!" The photo depicted A Miao, dressed in a chick costume, delivering condoms. She picked up the photo but before she could take a clearer look, Yao Lili's voice resounded. "What is this?" Yao Lili snatched the photo out of A Miao's hands. Before long, she began screeching. "Disgusting! How can you do something like this?" Seeing the development of events, A Miao thought she might as well sit down. "It's just a job. You all don't have to make a fuss about it." "Job?" Xia Mei grabbed the photo and waved it in front of A Miao's face. "This photo is pinned up in our school board. Now everyone knows that there's someone in Xia family that does this sort of shady busine
"Is this stinky tofu?" Shen I pinched a block of the tofu with his fingers and gave it a sniff. He nearly vomited. He rushed to the door, about to open it. "Don't open the door." Shen II stopped him while he opened the windows. "The smell will get out." Shen I was dumbstruck as he imagined the entire office floor being filled with the smell of stinky tofu. He could not help but wanting to retch. "Boss, why don't you take a shower and change your clothes?" Shen II did not dare to look directly at Shen Xinglan. Shen Xinglan, who had not spoken all this while, slowly raised his head. The first thing he did was loosening his necktie. Then he took off his suit and shirt and walked into the bathroom. While walking in, he began to slowly turn around. "Hehehehehe..." Shen I swallowed uneasily. "Boss..." "Oh no. Did he get so mad that he lost his mind?" "Go.&quo
A ripping sound resounded as the man tore A Miao's shirt and began touching her all over. She felt something rising from her stomach and then vomited all over herself and Xia Mingde. "Let me go… You bastard, let me go!" Without even bothering to wipe her mouth, she felt around for the table lamp on the floor and swiped Xia Mingde with it. "F*ck!" Xia Mingde blocked her attack with his arm and snatched it out of her hands. With a turn of his hand, he landed a hard slap on her face. "You bitch." A Miao fell on the floor. Xia Mingde once again grabbed her thighs and ripped her skirt with one smooth movement. "No! Let me go… Mom… Help!" A Miao stared at the ceiling with tears streaming down her face. The only thing she could think of was her mother's final words. Thud! Just as she was about to close her eyes and waited in despair for Xia Mingde to climb over her, the door abruptly opened. "Boss, how s
Shen I held onto A Miao's arm and took no more than a few steps before turning his head to ask, "Boss, where should we…" "Just find a random dark room." Shen Xinglan waved impatiently. "Not the underground." "Understood." Noticing that A Miao was faintly trembling, Shen I comforted her while dragging her. "Don't worry. I'll be locking you in the storeroom. When boss' mood improves the next morning, I'll let you out." Worrying that she would catch a cold at night, Shen I kindly found a particularly small storeroom and even placed a quilt inside. When he saw how A Miao lied on the quilt without moving, he said nothing and locked the door. It was pitch-black inside the storeroom without even a hint of the moonlight. In the darkness, A Miao began to quiver. She could not stand staying in a cramped space like this. To a claustrophobic person, this was life-threatening torture. "Let me out! Let me ou
Shen Xinglan ordered the hospital to inform the Xia family that A Miao was involved in a car accident. "How did you end up getting involved in a car accident? What about Shen Xinglan?" Xia Wan questioned her as soon as she entered the room. Yao Lili and Xia Mei carefully observed A Miao. "Where are you injured?" A Miao raised both of her hands. "If that guy didn't dump me on the roadside, I wouldn't have been hit by a car." It was Le Yi who told her that Xia Wan might get suspicious if A Miao said that Shen Xinglan dragged her home. "Don't tell me you've gone blind!" Xia Mei said, evidently happy over A Miao's misery. That was because the bedridden A Miao was wearing a pair of shades. Beside her, a nurse who was preparing to leave immediately replied, "Her eyes were injured. She can't see light for the time being." "What sort of injuries are these? You're even staying in such an expensive ward
A Miao's smile instantly disappeared. Le Yi got up while shaking his head. "Have you been here for long?" Le Yi meant that he must have heard most of their conversation. "I just got here," Shen Xinglan shamelessly lied. He then looked coldly at A Miao. "You better recover as soon as possible. Otherwise, don't dream of going to classes in the second half of the year." A Miao stared at him and suddenly smiled. "I'm not in a hurry then. Worse comes to worst, I'll just attend next year." What she did not know was that her smile earlier had stupefied Shen Xinglan. It was as if the soft and gentle little girl in his memories was lying on his body, saying, "Brother Lan, it'll stop hurting after I blow on it…" Le Yi called him. "Shen?" "I'm fine." Shen Xinglan sat down on the sofa. "How soon can her hands recover?" "One and a half month if she obedient
After Yaya and Yu Sihan were married for three years, she was already twenty-three years old. As for Yu Sihan... it was better to ignore his age... "My dear sister!" At dawn, Chu Bai ran to Yu Sihan's villa, taking advantage of the absence of the great devil. Yaya was embroidering mandarin ducks on a piece of brocade, probably because she was influenced by Yu Sihan. She had been very interested in the traditional crafts of Country Hua in the past two years, and she also went to the old workshop to learn the skills. "What do you want to do?" Yaya glanced at him. Nowadays, Chu Bai was a very popular young actor. He caused traffic jams whenever he went out. "Oh! The ducks Yaya embroidered are so beautiful." Chu Bai came over to flatter her. "They are mandarin ducks." Yaya was expressionless. Chu Bai opened his eyes wide. "Oh, they're all birds anyway!" "What are you doing her
Yaya, who had been worrying about him for a month, was finally relieved. She decided to travel, because of anger. She also felt strange. Why she did not feel angry and sad, after being deceived. Later on, she thought that maybe it was the effect of the vermin... "Miss, shall we go?" Zhu Yan reminded her. "Considering the ability of Young Master, he will find us soon." Chu Bai sat up abruptly. "Then we must go! We can go to the Caribbean by boat, and see how he can find us in the vast sea." "Young Master has fleets in more than 20 countries. No matter what cruise you take, he will find you." Zhu Yan looked at Chu Bai, seemingly thinking that he was an idiot. Chu Bai was used to the expression in her eyes, every day. He had no way to deal with it. He could not scold her, and as for fighting with her... he was a man, so he could not do that. "Find a car. Let's drive ourselves." Yaya put on her sunglasse
"Young Master! He's been cloned!" "How dare you!" The two voices sounded at the same time, and Green turned around in panic. Yu Sihan rushed toward her, his face extremely cold. Green instinctively raised her hand to stab Yaya with the knife, but she was too slow. Bang! Shen Xinglan pulled the trigger. "Young... Young master..." Green looked at the bloody hole in her chest, and even smiled and hugged the stone platform. Then she reached out her hand to try and catch Yu Sihan. Yu Sihan ignored her, anxiously untied the ropes on Yaya, and held her tightly in his arms. "Sorry, I was late." The man's tight hug made Yaya feel a little sore. But she could feel Yu Sihan shivering all over, so she let him hold her. "I'm fine..." A Miao came to her and looked at her, with tears in her eyes, and tried to pull her out of Yu Sihan's arms, but Yu Sihan seemed not to care
Yaya did not move and looked at him, her face expressionless. "Did you set up a tent?" Shen Xinglan saw the roof in the distance. "Go and have a rest first. A Miao is a little seasick." Meanwhile, the family of three passed by him, and Yu Sihan lowered his head and followed behind them. "Where is Green?" Yu Sihan's bodyguard asked Zhu Yan discreetly. "She's locked up in the cabin." Zhu Yan looked at the several people who had entered the tent. "I'll go and ask the Young Master for my punishment." The bodyguard stopped her. "Don't be stupid! Young Master did not say that he will punish you. Besides, given the current situation, you'd better not go and create more problems." The tent was big and comfortable. Yu Sihan never did stint on himself. His quality of life was always extravagant. "I know all about the matter of the vermin." Yaya deliberately sat far away from Yu Sihan. "It turns o
Zhu Yan kicked in the door without saying anything, and then she felt cold from head to foot. "Young Master... Miss is gone." Yu Sihan fell silent for such a long time on the other side that Zhu Yan almost could not keep her footing. Then she heard Yu Sihan sigh. "Go to the Shen villa and bring them to the island." "But Miss..." "Tell Shen Xinglan, if he wants to see Yaya, he has to come over immediately." He did not discover that the one who had been sleeping in the cabin was not Green, until he reached the island. She must have planned to escape before she got on the ship, and she had stashed away many drugs during her numerous years in the institute. "She drugged the bodyguard with some ecstasy, and hired a person to stay in the cabin instead of her..." The bodyguard said in a low voice, "Until we landed on the island." When Yu Sihan learned that Green had behaved well and stayed in
Yaya was about to say something, when she saw the girl being slapped hard by Zhu Yan, and she fainted instantly. So ferocious! "Miss, please get into the car." Zhu Yan pulled the girl up with one hand, and threw her to the two male bodyguards, who had rushed over. Yaya pointed at the girl and said, "She..." "We will interrogate her and report to Young Master, if there is any danger." Yaya said "fine", and got into the car. However, she was still curious about it, so she planned to ask Yu Sihan about it, in the evening. "Young Master, we have brought her back." A Bodyguard rushed into the house and said, "She tried to talk to Miss, but she was stunned by Zhu Yan before she could say anything." Yu Sihan was lying sideways on a couch, his Buddha beads swinging in one hand. "Take her on board directly. If you fail, all of you need not come back." "I will keep it in mind!" The
After that night, Yaya was never worried again, about why Yu Sihan did not want to be intimate with her. "I'm afraid that I cannot resist having sex with you. Then what will I do on our wedding night?" Yu Sihan insisted that women should not lose their virginity until the wedding night. Yaya did not mind it, because she was not the one who had a strong sexual desire. A Miao was worried that Yaya might suffer, so she repeatedly asked about it in a tactful way, so Yaya just told her Yu Sihan's thoughts directly. "Sure enough, he is older than you…" Unexpectedly, A Miao was still unsatisfied. "Mom!" Yaya did not know what to do. Her mom would still criticize him, no matter what he did… Time flew and the muggy summer would soon be over. After the first rains in autumn, the engagement party was approaching. All Yaya's dresses and accessories had been delivered to the Shen family house, a week ago.
Chu Bai called the police, but his agent blamed him for doing so. "There are security cameras in the house. If I ran away, others might trace it back to me. How would I explain it?" Of course the agent knew Chu Bai was right, he was just too anxious. "You could have just left it to us. Our company will deal with it. Since you have finished filming, you can rest at home for a few days." If someone else was stuck in the same situation, the agent did not know how their company would have dug him out of this hole. However, it was Chu Bai, who was stuck in the situation, so he did not need to worry about him. Thus he was assured, and went back to the company, after sending Chu Bai home. Chu Bai could not bear to stay home, so he went to the villa of the Shen family to have dinner. "What happened?" Yaya had read the news, and asked when she saw him. A Miao asked the auntie to bring another pa
Chu Bai called Yaya. He dared not go to the Shen house, for fear of being caught by Yu Sihan. "Don't let him know that I want you to be an assistant, just say that you have to go, OK?" Yaya did not know whether to cry or to laugh. "Why are you so afraid of him? You are an adult now" "You don't understand." Of course, Chu Bai could not tell her how many times Yu Sihan had secretly tossed him about, when he was a child. Those terrible memories were too many to count... "In short, just don't let him know!" "All right!" Yaya did not want to remind him that Yu Sihan clearly knew that she would not go to such a crowded place on her own accord, especially the movie set with such complicated interpersonal relationships. "One more thing," Chu Bai said mysteriously, "guess who I saw on the set today!" Yaya thought for a moment and said, "The new female supporting role?" "No, it's Zh
