Meeting Xiao Ni before starting the big battle really boosts Xia Sha's confidence. That is right, she didn't even listen to Guan Xiao Ni.
Who is Ling Guang and Meng Ran?
Merely bug in this world. She raised the grey card Guan Xian's has given for her on her left hand and flash disk on her right hand.
Talking about him, Xia Sha actually felt a little scared of him. She didn't understand how Guan Xian found out about her plan today.
But his gift really helps her a lot.
Slowly her smile raised as her heels brings her to the multimedia room.
In the hotel ballroom, Meng Ran clung herself to Ling Guang's sturdy arm. She looks like pure beauty every time she shows her smiles.
"Mr.Sun, let me introduce you to Mr.Ling Guang and his secretary. He is the founder and owner of Bright Electronic Company." Director Qi, one of their client happily introduce Ling Guang to other business personnel.
"Mr.Ling, I've heard a lot about you." Mr.Sun raises his glass of wine and smiles at Ling Guang.
"Mr.Sun, it's my honor." Ling Guang answer confidently and they cling their glass.
"Your new proposal about Hotel serviced by a robot is very futuristic, it left a deep impression for me." Mr.Sun praised make Ling Guang's expression froze.
Sensing how stiff Ling Guang's face become, Meng Ran took her chance to speak. "Mr.Sun speaks too highly of us. It's still a long way to go for our IT to reach the standard we want. But we are working hard to achieve it."
The modern hotel is a proposal idea from Xia Sha. Meng Ran wants to erase every trace of Xia Sha in Bright Electronic Company.
Mr.Sun merely nods his head and smiles at Meng Ran. He can't understand what Ling Guang secretary is doing.
He is interested in the project, shouldn't she talk about their development so he will invest?
Wasn't this secretary supposed to be bright?
"Where is Ms.Xia? Her presentation is very persuasive. Indeed a rare gem." Mr.Sun shows a cryptic smile, he glances at Meng Ran with a hint of ridicule.
Meng Ran stupefied, did she make a bad impression to Mr.Sun?
The news travel really fast. Mr.Sun probably has heard about it too.
Ever since the Bring Electronic proceeds Xia Sha registration officially, Xia Qi Feng has informed his close friend that her daughter has decided to work for him again.
Nonetheless, to say, Ling Guang's company starts to face serious problems.
Many investor want to withdraw their funds. This is why today's event is very important to him.
"Ah, Ms.Xia has decided to help his father company." Ling Guang tapped gently at the glass holder and smiles meaningfully.
Mr.Sun did not look surprised but choose to silent. "Ms.Sha comes from a wealthy family, moreover Xia family has only her as heir. This is also expected from her." Meng Ran tried to salvage her mistakes.
Mr.Sun gives a knowing look and excuse himself. Ling Guang did not look too happy at Meng Ran.
"You make us lose such a good opportunity." Ling Guang looms irritated but conceals it with a thin smile.
Meng Ran opens her mouth, wanted to defend herself. But she closes it right away. "I'm sorry, I just don't like people praising Xia Sha's work. It's like we can't do anything without her."
She reminds him of his sore spot.
One of the biggest reasons why Ling Guang despite Xia Sha is because people see her as the brain of Bring Electronic. Even if he is the CEO, people have been praising her and her work more than him.
Ling Guang look at Meng Ran suddenly felt more hostile towards Xia Sha and pity her. That is right, only Meng Ran gives him enough recognition.
"It's okay, the night still young." He patted her shoulder. They could approach other investors tonight. It's best if they could approach someone from the ring one.
Mr.Sun's company although big is still on ring two levels. Ling Guang believes they could find a bigger investor.
Just when they want to mingle, the room went dark once again.
A video play in the middle of the busy ballroom. Ling Guang and Meng Ran froze when they see the familiar figures on the big screen.
"Ah... Mr.Ling, you are so strong...." The girl's body shudder and trembles. She closes her eyes, enjoying the man on top of her.
"Really? I think your body is too fragile. So soft, so delicate." The man spoke as the camera shot the woman face.
"Mr.Ling I don't think we should be doing this. You have a fiancee." The girl said but biting her lower lips. Making the man more eager to bully her.
"You seduce me first then still worrying about my fiancee. You are too pretentious." Ling Guang on the video brushes her flawless cheeks.
Ling Guang's face was grim, his ears turn red. Either because he is angry or embarrassed. One could not tell.
But he is not happy, it was clear on his face.
Meng Ran, on the other hand, wanted to kill herself. There are so many important people right here and she clearly has no reputation left.
She doesn't even know where to put her face anymore.
"Not me... Not me..." Her face pale to the point is almost as white as paper.
There is silence in the room for a second. People start to look at Ling Guang and Meng Ran in disgust.
Xia Sha looks at them from the corner of the dark before they slowly turn on the light.
She slowly walks to the entrance of the room. Gaining attention from everyone. There is no doubt in her visual attractiveness, she was shining in the middle of the room.
"Ah, so this his how it feels to attend the business party. It's been so long that I forget the feeling." She smiles, enough to make a few men bobbed their throat.
The one who knew Xia Sha smiles, expecting a nice show.
Ling Guang narrowed his eyes unhappy. He steps forward, gritting his teeth he says. "Xia Sha! You crossed the line!"
How she expects him and Meng Ran walk in society after receiving such humiliation.
Xia Sha who did not look at her the whole time finally look at him. Her corner of lips quirks up, revealing a cruel smile.
"Yo, the adulters couple is here. Mr.Ling that kind of video is personal, even though you were crazy in love with Ms.Meng's body you should not let everyone see it." She said it bluntly, without a trace of shame.
"Aiya, Xia big missy, that is people's personal taste. Some like to keep their business private some likes to share happiness with others." Ruan Jing Tian especially on fire today.
It's been a long time since Xia Sha hides her ruthless side to the world. Now the empress dowager is back, her supporter slowly gathers in the little crowd.
Since the older generation has gone home first, there only younger on stay.
Xia Sha's eyes lifted up, she gives a glance at Ruan Jing Tian and chuckles. Ling Guang becomes more agitated at her ridicule.
"Hah, you are so pathetic. Just for revenge, you choose to put a green hat on your own head." Ling Guang smirk, his eyes were sharp looking at Xia Sha.
Xia Sha touches the top of her head. "Green hat? Where?" She frowns then she looks at someone she knew from the crowd. Luckily she sees Kai Xin.
"Kai Xin, do you ever saw me wearing a green hat?" She raised her both eyebrow in a fake surprised face.
Kai Xin looms dumbfounded for a second when Xia Sha calls her name. But when their eyes meet she curled up a smile.
Kai Xin folds her arm in her chest. "Xia Sha is the queen of our Imperial High School, she only wears a crown on her head."
Xia Sha gives her a thank you glance at Kai Xin. Kai Xin avoids her stare, looking shy at the moment.
Xia Sha understands they've fought for a long period. It's normal to felt a little strange when she suddenly asks for moral support.
Luckily she still wants to help her.
Xia Sha shifts her eyes at Ling Guang again. "Even if you wanted to put something green on my head, it's better a green emerald crown." She smirks then turns her focus to Meng Ran.
"The one beside you is clearly not an Emerald." Meng Ran look down the whole time, dare not to look at others.
"Ridiculous." She added.
She felt every eye is looking at her, judging and ridiculing her. She felt so naked in the crowd.
Her eyes filled with grief and humiliation.
Ling Guang clenches his fist, he looks at Meng Ran's state and felt sorry for her.
"Xia Sha stop this madness. This is why I rather choose Meng Ran than you. Even if she did not fave a powerful family but she has a kind and good heart. Not like yours." He did not raise his tone, but every word piercing Xia Sha's heart.
"Your heart is rotten! You look down on others. Do you really think you are better than other humans, just because what? Because you are rich?" Ling Guang let out a low chuckle.
"The point you show everyone that video is to show that I cheated on. Yes, I admit, I did cheat on you. But have you ever think why?" Ling Guang raised his eyebrow as he questioning her.
Xia Sha hold her breathe, she felt suffocated the more he speaks.
"Must be wondering. You felt you are prettier than her, you have a better family background, you are smarter. But I chose her over you. I hurt your pride doesn't I?" Ling Guang said with his arrogant face.
Even if she is the queen in everybody's eyes, so what? For him, Meng Ran is hundreds of times better than her.
"You should reflect, she is nothing but I choose her. There is something wrong with your personality."
The water on Xia Sha's eyes almost drop. But she holds it with all her strength. Instead, she laughs.
She looks at Ling Guang and Meng Ran with her icy glance. "Mr.Ling Guang, are you done? Your mouth is stinky."
She smirks. "There is nothing wrong with my personality. Instead, you are the sick one."
"You know me and all my merits when you choose to date me. 5 years, we've been together for so many years do you know how much I hold myself not to hurt your pride?"
"None of my parents like you. You have an ordinary family background and relying on a woman for success." She smiles.
She takes a step closer to Ling Guang, intimidating him in several ways with her heigh and coldness.
In the past, she rarely uses high heels more than 3 cm because Ling Guang is only 175 cm. While she is 170 cm heigh.
She sacrifices so many things to protect his pride. So much that she broke her own wing.
Stupid.
Staring straight at Ling Guang she unfolds the truth he has been hiding deep down in his heart. "Admit it, you felt inferior because you won't be this successful without me."
Ling Guang jaw tighten. He felt all his blood boils and his mind almost explode.
"You cheat with this slut because she completes your ego. A useless and weak woman who can't do anything without you. Ling Guang, I've seen through you."
Xia Sha stops and calmly stare at Ling Guang grim face. "You are a man who can't see a woman more capable of you. I'm sorry you can't accept that I, Xia Sha, is better than you."
Xia Sha has touched his most sour spot. The next thing he remembers is how big his hand made when he slaps Xia Sha's delicate face.
Xia Sha face sting and she is stunned. It's not the first time he attacks her physically. She isn't surprised anymore.
Her eyes wet because it's really hurt. Damn this bastard.
"F*ck you dare to hit a woman!" Her ears buzzed but she can hear Ruan Jing Tian scream from afar.
Ruan Jing Tian is ready to punch him when another voice silence everyone.
"Big brother, why did you hit my sister…" Xia Xiang cried out from the crowd. Then she walks to Xia Sha with her big grey ball gown.
"Big sister, are you okay?" she tried to touch Xia Sha cheeks. Xia Sha push her hand away, unwilling to be touch by Xia Xiang.
What a fake woman, she wants to gather attention from people.
However, that elephant is acting like an ant, stumbling to the floor just because of a small push. Xia Sha was dumbfounded.
Hah, this girl uses the same trick over and over again.
"Xia Sha you are too much!" Ling Guang said and help Xia Xiang to stand up.
"Aw… sister why did you hate me so much?" Xia Xiang said with a grievance, she drops tears on her face.
People start to murmured how vengeful Xia Sha is. Ling Guang and Meng Ran are the ones who provoke her, but Xia Xiang is her sister after all. Does she need to be that harsh?
Meng Ran learn the situation quickly. Since people start blaming Xia Sha, she understands the trick she needs to use. "Xia Xiang, are you okay?"
She approaches Xia Xiang too.
"I'm okay Ran-Jie, it only hurt a little." Xia Xiang answer with a weak voice as the dog and bitch help her to stand up.
"Miss. Xia, it's okay if you several times plan to harm me. However, this is your own little sister!" Meng Ran scold her.
"Xia Sha's little sister? Xia Sha is the only child of the Xia family, never heard she had a little sister now. Aunty Xia is such a beauty, how could she give birth to an elephant?"
This time Xia Sha did not answer, she still amused by the drama three people play for the crowd. But another woman's voice stands up for her.
It's Guan Xiao Ni.
No one dares to talk when NiNi opens her mouth. But all of them are dying inside because NiNi just calls Xia Xiang an elephant.
Take a step closer to the main stage, NiNi folds her hand. She comes with a noble aura that screams superiority. Even Xia Sha aura covered by her's.
Xia Xiang's face turns red, NiNi had humiliated her twice in just 2 hours. Now she can't even talk back since there are many people watching them.
"Oh by the way you don't have to worry, this elephant likes to fall by herself. She also falls when she tried to push me earlier at the toilets." NiNi said nonchalantly, ignoring Meng Ran and walk to Xia Sha side.
NiNi deliberately mentions the toilet's accidents to hint that this elephant is not that good.
She dares to push the young mistress of Guan, however to her shame she fell instead. Now she dares to act so fragile fall again just because of a little push from a girl whose body smaller than her.
Frowning, NiNi turns her head to Xia Sha. "Wei, I am very disappointed with you. Crying because this type of people…" shaking her head.
"I don't need your sympathy." Xia Sha stubbornly said, wiping tears from her soft cheeks. NiNi frowns even became deeper as if she is saying, 'who sympathize you?'
"Heh, did you even worthy of my sympathy? Even if you are Xia and Shen family 'only heir' I am still Guan Xiao Ni." NiNi said like she was mocking Xia Sha, but the smart people can see what the real meaning of her sentence is.
She was saying that Xia Sha is the legitimate heir of Xia and Shen family, who are them to bully her, even dare to slap her.
"Ms.Guan just ignore her, she was always this rude and mean." Ling Guang thinks that because this Ms.Guan look like she hates Xia Sha, she will take their side.
NiNi throw a 'You-like-this-stupid-man-? Seriously-?' Looks at Xia Sha.
Xia Sha ignores her eyes. She also ashamed of herself, okay!
Xia Sha rolls her eyes and Xiao Ni looks at Ling Guang again.
"You shut up, I don't even know your name." NiNi snapped, she was irritated enough tonight.
She already tired that she needs to talk with a bunch of animals in the toilet. Then she needs to take care of her fiancee's ex. Then she still needs to protect her enemy.
This party suck, I'm sorry Grandpa Wang.
"Ms. Guan this is Mr.Ling Guang, the owner of the Bright electronic company." Xia Sha smiles at Meng Ran, does she really think this is a good opportunity to find an investor?
So stupid.
Both Ling Guang and Meng Ran is stupid. Now she is sure why Ling Guang very insecure and felt inferior towards her.
She can proudly admit the Bright Electronic won't stand without her.
"…"
NiNi was speechless, she doesn't know what to say or do anymore. She can't believe that Ling Guang actually cheats on Xia Sha with this kind of woman. Shrugging her shoulder, NiNi decides to ignore the dumb secretary.
Meng Ran let an awkward smile as she tucks her right hair, appearing like an innocent girl.
In front of her are many girl's idols. The infamous Guan Xiao Ni. She looked up to her every day. She just leaves a good impression on Xiao Ni.
"Miss Xia, I am so sorry if my relationship with Ling Guang hurts your feeling. But our love is genuine, I wish you could give us your blessing."
Xiao Ni puffed her cheek, looks very annoyed. People think she will scold Menu Ran, but she turns her body to Xia Sha instead.
"Wei, what's wrong with your brain? you let this kind of people bully you, while you always counter my bully. Xia Sha let me warn you if you let these people bully you it means they can bully me too! As you mortal enemies at least you have to give me some face!"
NiNi glare at Xia Sha then let out a frustrated groan. "I hate you even more now!"
Xia Sha want to cry after she heard NiNi speech. She wanted to tell her she did not cry because her heart hurt.
But the ungrateful dog uses too much force she is not prepared yet.
When NiNi first stands up for her, she was already surprised. After all, they had a long history of being a rival. But today none of her friends stand up for her.
The girl who had no friends, her enemies since elementary is the one who helps her.
She finds the confidence she lost. She must admit that after she found out that her fiancee would rather be with his secretary than her, her self-esteem broke.
She lost her confidence. But facing Xiao Ni with all her mockery, she felt touched and warm inside.
