The door to of the elevator slide open and them came a slender, elegant beauty. She was like an Nobel consort of a great prince. The elegant beauty showed up inside the elevator accompanied by three other persons. One of them seemed to be the head maid while the other two were like serving maids, always ready to serve their "Her Highness".
The elegant beauty stepped out of the elevator with a straight and elegant poise. The person was none other than, 'Xia Xiang'.
The other three people also followed her.
The person looking like a head maid was actually Manager Cheng, one of the golden star managers of 'Splendid Star Entertainment'. The other two people are two exclusive assistants of rising star Xia Xiang.
Xia Yao Xing saw the person coming out of the elevator and all the blood in her body rushed up to her brain. She felt deep hatred for this sister of hers. Who was one of the reasons for her miserable life. She lost everything in her life to this women in front of her. If not for this women, if not for this women's family, she should have leading a flaw less happy life right now. With her parents, her brother and her friends. But, now? She lost her family, her parents.
Yes... When Xia Yao Xing was abroad and her Godfather was trying to connect her with her own people, she found out about her parents death. She was mindless after learning about this hateful truth. She wanted to kill herself and end this whole thing. Before even she could think about anything, She already attempted a suicide at the age of only 15.
She was on lying bed in the hospital when she opened her eyes. She felt pain in her left wrist. She slowly peeked at her left wrist and then sighed. She felt someone's presence and turned her face towards the couch present inside the room.
She knew he would not let her die so easily and stretched her hand. She held the IV drip that was connected to the back of her palm. She extorted a little force to take it off.
"Xiao Xing, your elder brother is still alive." Her Godfather said suddenly, making her stop what she was doing. The man was standing against the light. His silhouette... It's Godly. The man was not looking much old. He must have been in his early twenties. She couldn't see his face clearly hence couldn't understand if he is saying the truth. But, she trusted him. If not for him she was nothing.
Xia Yao Xing retreated her hand back tried getting up. She sat on the bed and again looked at that man.
"B-Bring him h-here." These were the first words that came out of her mouth after regaining her consciousness. Her voice was inaudible.
"Heh..." a low chuckle left that man's mouth and confused Xia Yao Xing.
"You are waking up after 3 days and 2 nights of unconsciousness and here you are..." He paused for a moment. "Heh... Don't you think I need an explanation?"
Xia Yao Xing felt guilt taking over her mind.
Yes! he did deserve an explanation. After all he is the one whom she owes her life to. He was the one who saved her. He was the one who is taking care of her. He treated her and helped her recover from those nightmares. How can she end her life and leave this world before repaying him.
This life... is not hers right now. She can't give up this life without replaying her.
"Even if you don't think about me. You are not allowed to die." The Godfather said.
"You are my girl now. Don't do this again OK?" His tone was a little fierce at the beginning but became more gentle at the end of his sentence.
"I-I... I'm s-sorry." Xia Yao Xing said. Her voice was coarse, low and incoherent. It clenched his heart and he felt pain hearing her. It reminded him of the initial days when he reduced her from that place.
"I-I won't d-do it a-again." She said again with that same coarse and low incoherent voice. She paused for a moment before starting again. "I promise..." She knew he cared for her. Although he was hard on her it was clear from his actions that he clearly cared for her.
Xia Yao Xing felt more guilty thinking about it.
"It's OK. I believe you." He said.
There was silence all over the room once these words left his mouth. Xia Yao Xing waited for him to say something but he didn't.
She contemplated for some time before saying. "W-Where is he... Is-is he alright?" She asked.
The man didn't say anything for a while and looked like he was observing her.
"He..." He paused again. "He escaped. When that Xia family was trying to execute your family." He said.
"He was the only one left but..." He didn't say further when he observed that she was looking frantic hearing about her family's execution.
"But what?" She asked looking at his direction. There was anxiousness in her eyes.
He looked at her for a while from the darkness and said. "He is missing. I guess he is in hiding."
The anxiousness in her eyes faded and a slight hope took its place.
"You can find him right?" Xia Yao Xing asked with her same coarse and low voice. She trusts him and she knew he could do this.
The man got up from his seat and turned towards the door.
"Mmm... Now rest well. Sister 4 will come to take care of you." He said this and walked out of the room. Even before Xia Yao Xing could voice out anything.
Now - - - - -
Xia Yao Xing used all her tolerance to maintain a normal face and not show any hints of hate on her face.
On the other hand Xia Xiang was about to walk past her when suddenly Xia Yao Xing bowed and greeted her.
"Good morning... Sist-" She was about to say sister when Xia Xiang paused and interrupted her with a low sound.
Xia Yao Xing sneered inside her heart. 'Still afraid? Heh...' she thought inside her mind.
"Sist-sister Xia." Xia Yao Xing completed her sentence.
Actually, Xia Yao Xing remembered Xia Xiang's words from the day when she was put under Manager Cheng. Xia Xiang asked her to keep her identity hidden.
She really played innocence well and made Xia Yao Xing go along with her plan.
Xia Xiang was sitting on her chair looking at Xia Yao Xing. "Xiao Xing, I am very happy to see you again."
She paused for a moment got up from the chair and went to Xia Yao Xing. "But, you know what? Father is looking everywhere for you." She feigned grievance on her face.
"I'm afraid you'll have to face those things again." She is really a great actress. Xia Yao Xing thought.
"Sister, then what should I do?" Xia Yao Xing thought it wouldn't harm to play along and sneered inside. "that's why I was hiding till now. But I really missed you and grandfather. So I came back." Xia Yao Xing said
"Xiao Xing. You don't have to hide it from me." Xia Xiang said.
Xia Yao Xing got suspicious and asked. "What sister?" She is no less than Xia Xiang in acting. If it were to be valued then Xia Yao Xing was second to none when it came to acting.
"Xiao Xing, I know you also want to live luxuriously too. That's why you are here in 'Splendid Star Entertainment'. Right?" Xia Xiang asked.
Xia Yao Xing felt like hitting her head hard on a wall. 'What? Of all the things in this world you think, I want luxury. HA HA HA...' Xia Yao Xing thought to herself and laughed loud internally.
"What? Sister, No! It's all because ManWol was nervous that I choose acting..." Xia Yao Xing didn't show her intentions out and told Xia Xiang the whole story about her becoming a trainee in an entertainment company.
Xia Xiang sighed in relief. "Whatever Xiao Xing. You can't be found by dad!" Xia Xiang said with a little loud volume.
She then calmed herself down and said again. "It's not that I don't want you to become an actress... It's just that I don't want you to be hurt again." Xia Xiang showed a really concerned face.
"OK sister." Xia Yao Xing said.
Like this... It was decided that, Xia Xiang would conceal Xia Yao Xing's return to Country C from her parents and Xia Yao Xing would conceal her identity as the Xia family daughter.
NOW - - - - - -
Xia Xiang nodded Xia Yao Xing and walked past her toward the exit. The two exclusive assistants followed her while Manager Cheng stopped behind to talk to Xia Yao Xing.
Manager Cheng looked at Xia Yao Xing.
"Xia Yao Xing, come here." Manger Cheng commanded.
