Chapter 11-The Affectionate Bai Youran
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 my father. I'll ask him to persuade your grandfather."
"It's no use." Xia Wan sounded as if she was about to cry. "My grandfather has made up his mind to marry me off to Shen Xinglan."
It was only now that A Miao heard of a familiar name. "Which Shen Xinglan are you referring to?"
"What does it have to do with you?" Bai Youran shot her a loathsome look. "Don't tell me you're going to go and seduce him. With your looks?"
"That's right!" A Miao said, not paying his words any mind. "That's why I'm just good enough to marry you."
Bai Youran's face darkened. "What did you say?"
Xia Wan immediately held him back. "That's enough! You can't argue with A Miao in my home. You'll anger my grandfather."
"A Miao, this is Shen Xinglan." With a smug look in her eyes, Xia Wan handed A Miao a magazine.
"So it's really this lunatic!" A Miao accepted the magazine. There was an interview in it.
Ji Conglomerate was an ordinary company until the eldest son of the family who had always lived overseas, Shen Xinglan, returned and took the helm. He displayed his great talent and became the great Boss of the City S in just three years.
"So the old man of the Xia family has his eye on Shen Xinglan?" A Miao thought to herself. "What's so good about that guy? He's so sinister!"
"Oh well, he's much more good looking than you." She glanced at Bai Youran. Naturally, she would take the opportunity to smear Bai Youran's name. It would be best if he hated her so much that he rejected their engagement.
Bai Youran sneered. "It has nothing to do with you." He then turned to look at Xia Wan with deep emotion. "This is your grandfather's wish. What about yours? Do you think he's good for you?"
"We... We grew up together! What do you think?" Xia Wan lowered her head and wiped her eyes.
A Miao stood up, having no mood to watch Xia Wan put on a show. "You two take your time. I'm starving."
"Youran, you must come over and fetch A Miao often once classes begin. We're now studying in the same school." Xia Wan's voice was so loud that A Miao could hear every word she spoke. She also heard Youran's reassuring voice saying, "Xia Wan, I'll do anything you want if it makes you happy. Rest assured!"
"Pfft! Is this the quality of kids who were brought up in rich families? How... disgusting."
In order to complete her deal with Shen Xinglan, A Miao had been paying careful attention to Xia Yongqiang each day. Shen Xinglan told her that the bronze mirror was embedded in a pendant that Xia Yongqiang wore at all times. He never once took it off.
A Miao could remember how Shen Xinglan had looked when he told her this. She had never seen someone who deserved a spanking more in her life.
"Are you an idiot? If he's not wearing it at all times, why would I need you? Your skills are just like petty tricks from ancient times. They're just good enough to help you be a thief."
Unfortunately, A Miao would only be able to see Xia Yongqiang during dinner and it took no more than two hours each time, which left her no chance ... Just like that, half a month passed, she decided to meet that psycho.
