The following week went by quickly. Everyone was praising her for putting Tu Ming in his place, but were secretly feeling sympathy for her knowing she would soon face the true wrath of Tu Ming and his gang of followers. However, the whole week had already passed by and no one sensed any movement from the tyrant. Some said that Tu Ming was planning something big to ruin her life. Tyrants would always stay tyrants. Others were fantasizing about a romance between the two, otherwise why would Tu Ming be so lenient towards her?
Mei Ling was also quizzical about this but decided not to delve into it any further once she realized she had another issue she had was facing. She couldn't decide what she wanted to do in her new life! She vowed to become a great goddess...but how?
The first choice she thought of was to become an actor. However she herself knew that although she was great at acting, that was for scheming! She couldn't possibly act long term right? She was also inexperienced and would need many long years to get used to the acting industry. Perhaps acting could be a side job.
Her second choice was to become a model. Her proportions and curves were even better than most models, but she knew of the difficulties that models actually faced. They didn't merely walk on a stage strutting with nice outfits on, they took special care of their body and went through torturous training to get through on how to walk, pose, and pull in the audience. Mei Ling didn't mind the torture, but the torture would lead to nothing. Unless she became a world-wide famed model, she would have little income and wouldn't have much fame. Perhaps modelling could also be just a side job.
Mei Ling didn't merely want to become well known but wanted large cash, large income, large money bills, large bucks. No one else except her knew how much she loved food. For food, she needed money so how would she be able to earn money fast? Business, of course! She needed to start a company, invest in other projects, and create her own brands! She would get to every single industry she could swallow up. Ambitious, but plausible for someone who transmigrated. This was the only way she also wouldn't get looked down on by those at the highest plane.
Only, even when her student card was constantly filled up to the maximum capacity from Lu Jiang daily, she wouldn't have enough money to start a company. She also didn't want to mix her personal school life with her business life, so she wouldn't be able to use the money in her student card without school authorities seeing its uses.
Deciding it was time to visit her brother to address this issue, she walked out of her dorm building and signaled for a taxi. Getting in, she gave the taxi driver the address and saw him look at her carefully. Obviously knowing what he was thinking about she added in: "Not the wrong address."
The driver nodding, they were able to reach Lu Jiang's mansion quickly. Seeing the large mansion in the distance across the large botanical garden, his eyes widened and treated Mei Ling as if an important person acting similar to the Lamborghini driver. Hurrying out, he was just about to pull the door for the the girl when a shrill voice rang out, " Who are you? Do you know that this place is not for you commoners?"
Through the tiny crack of the door, Mei Ling was able to hear every word clearly. Opening the door herself, she stepped out elegantly and looked towards the owner with the shrill voice. Both beauties assessing each other, it was clear that Mei Ling was still a few notches higher than her in countenance. Mei Ling had dark raven-like hair that seemed to shine in the basking sunlight, with dainty and delicate features that highlighted her clear, sharp and dark but translucent eyes. Her skin was fair and glowing white that seemed flawlessly perfect. The girl in front of her had curled, bleached blonde hair and tan skin but had the natural beauty where similar to Mei Ling, also didn't put on any makeup. But that was only that, and her Asian eyes were boring and plain, her features couldn't match up to the raven-like hair beauty at all. If not standing next to Mei Ling, her natural beauty would certainly stand out, but now that they were together it seemed as though she blended into the background instead.
What got to Mei Ling however was that the bleached blonde girl in front of her seemed familiar and she couldn't remember encountering her in the past. Hearing foot steps, the two maidens and the innocent driver looked over and saw a man dressed in a uniform come out. It seemed that he was a butler that worked in Lu Jiang's mansion.
"Miss Bai, you're here!" He exclaimed.
Surname Bai? Memories pierced into her skull, she realized that when she was looking into the portfolios of Jin Long Academy's students, there was a student named Bai LianHua and they both had curly, bleached-blonde hair. Bai LianHua used to be Jin Long Academy's campus beauty, and it seemed now that Mei Ling had replaced her. But what was she doing here...in front of her older brother's home?
"Head Butler Zhou, I'm sure you realize that commoners aren't supposed to be even near this area?"
Turning a bit the butler realized that there was an extraordinary beauty! Rushing to get to Miss Bai, he hadn't seen them and now that he had he scorned. Beauty or not, she was still a commoner!
This butler should be new, as he hadn't recognized Mei Ling. "Have you not heard Miss Bai? You both don't realize that your existence is lower here, hurry and go away before anything happens to you!"
With tranquil eyes, Mei Ling replied: "I'm here for Lu Jiang."
Both Bai LianHua and the butler turned red. While Bai LianHua was angry that the commoner was pretending to know her Lu Jiang, the butler was angry that the little pest called his boss by his full name!
Furious, Bai LianHua was the first one to talk and with her once again shrill voice, "How dare you! Do you understand the difference between you and me or Lu Jiang? It's comparing heaven and earth! You are just the little weed striving to survive every day, while we are the gods that you normally never get to see!"
Leisurely as if she didn't hear a single word, she turned to the butler and announced, "You're fired."
Clenching his hands into fists, the butler then pointed a finger to Mei Ling and shouted, "Who are you to tell me that I'm fired? As a butler of this mansion, I have even more power than you do! You should realize the severity of provoking anyone from this house you see in front of you! The owner is not someone you should randomly talk about!"
Scoffing, she took out the phone from her tiny handbag and clicked on a few buttons before putting it near her ear.
"Lu Jiang, come to entrance at your mansion's gate." Her voice was soft and almost like a murmur but it was still clear as day to the three people near her, the two furious red tomatoes and the driver.
Thinking that she was just tricking them, the butler went forward and grabbed her phone.
"Little girl, you are just trying to intimidate us! These petty tricks won't fool-"
Feeling a large hand holding onto the phone in his hand, the butler's voice was cut off and he looked behind him. Seeing a face he would regularly see in the house he worked at everyday, he stiffened. Could it be the little girl really knew his boss?
"B-boss."
Even Bai LianHua stiffened, not daring to think that it was just a coincidence that Lu Jiang arrived in front of his mansion's gate in a hurried manner.
Returning Mei Ling her phone, the man suddenly hugged her and exclaimed happily, "Ling Ling!"
He had a large goofy smile and his eyes twinkled brightly.
Not hugging back, she responded "Look behind you."
Turning back to look behind him, he saw the head butler he recently promoted from elsewhere and the girl Bai LianHua. Gone was his silly smile, and his expression darkened.
Almost an angry shout, "Head Butler Zhou! How do you explain this? Not even realizing that someone important had come and still troubled her!"
How would he know that the little girl was someone important to his boss? If he knew, he wouldn't have been so rude and would have fawned over her instead! Now that he's fired, it's all Bai LianHua's fault! Turning his gaze towards Bai LianHua whom he always flattered over, his eyes turned gloomy.
After firing his new head butler, Lu Jiang walked towards the bleached-blonde beauty that was now pale and shaking.
"Lu..Lu Jiang..."
Lu Jiang declared with finality, "I was lenient enough to give face to your father and gave in to his suggestion for having a dinner with you after we closed our business deal. Now I see it was a mistake!"
Not bearing being yelled at as she was spoiled since young, she bursted with watery eyes and tried to gain pity from the man she was always chasing towards. Sensing his cold, hard stare not changing a bit, she ran and stomped at the same time in the other direction, not forgetting to give a murderous stare towards Mei Ling.
The driver that wasn't supposed to witness this at all, fled off happily as for the first time he had watched a real life drama scene happen before his eyes.
"Big brother..."
Once the cold man heard the sweet sound of his little sister, he was drowned into joy again and lifted Mei Ling into the air with a bright smile, "Ling Ling! You are here to visit big brother!"
If he had known his innocent Ling Ling came today with a motive, how would he respond? He would start sobbing!
But indeed...there were a few times...Mei Ling had missed him...And that would be able to lift him into joy again!
