The next day arrived. Xia Sha was still recuperating from the harsh world outside. It had been two days since she went to work or talked to Ling Guang. Xia Sha did not cry because she refused to think about them. But she wasn't feeling happy either. Her heart was just like an empty box right now. Useless.
Xia Sha was sipping her bubble tea when she spots a car stop in front of Xia's residence. Thanks to her sharp eyesight, she could see two figures of pretty women coming down from the car.
'It's about time,' Xia Sha chuckled as she blew her tea gently.
That pair of mother and daughter must have spent a lot of effort and coaxes to stay inside the house. Her father had been in a bad mood these few days and refused to talk with Pang Ze Tian and her beloved daughter.
The house finally felt like a breeze of heaven for Xia Sha.
Sure enough, they would plan something to come back to her. Xia Qi Feng had gone to the company while Pang Ze Tian could go to hell for all she cares.
Since Xia Sha decided not to do anything, her life was very peaceful that morning. She did not even bother checking the news and emails. Let alone pick up phone calls from Ling Guang.
She wanted to show Ling Guang that the company needed her to survive. No matter how good that secretary of himself was, he still needed her. But look like the dumb secretary was too idle, coming to her house in the middle of the day.
"Oh, You are here, Xia Sha-Jie."
Meng Ran wore that flawless smile and greeted Xia Sha like they were close friends. Xia Sha put down the bubble teacup with a big 'Bang' and looked at them arrogantly.
"Of course, this is my house. Where else I should be?" Xia Sha answered indifferently.
Xia Sha deliberately looked down at Xia Xiang with a proud smile. Meng Ran spared a secret glance at Xia Xiang awkwardly. Xia Xiang looked grim, and her beautiful hand turned into a fist.
Meng Ran wanted to deliver a message from Ling Guang but get cut by Xia Sha's sharp mouth.
"Ah! And don't call me Ms. Xia. I am not even your friend, let alone your sister."
Xia Sha looked annoyed as she sipped her bubble tea. Meng Ran smiled awkwardly, hiding her fist behind her back.
"Ms. Xia, Director Ling has been asking for your absence from work. He said that even though you have shares in the company, as long as you are an employee under Bright Electronic, you must follow the rules."
Xia Sha's lips curled up cruelly. She stood up and walked towards the stairs casually.
"I thought he was my fiancee? Why did he need another person as a messenger between us, director of Bring electronic didn't have his phone to call his fiancee?"
Meng Ran gasped like she accidentally has done something horrible. She looked at Xia Sha, who had gone upstairs. She turned her head towards Xia Xiang and asked, "What to do? Your sister must be mad at me."
Xia Xiang patted Meng Ran's shoulder, encouraging her.
"It's okay. She was just being sarcastic. Don't worry, you have Ling Guang to protect you. She can't do anything to you."
Meng Ran bite her lips and stares at Xia Xiang hiding her happiness inside. "She knows?" she acted surprised and upset.
"Xia Xiang, your sister must be sad. I knew I shouldn't have done this but I love Ling Guang too much to the point that I am willing to die for him," Meng Ran lowered her head.
Meng Ran was bewitching. Even Xia Xiang's heart ached for her when she saw Meng Ran's upset face.
"It's okay, it's okay. In the end, Ling Guang chose you, doesn't matter if you came later than her. Ling Guang loves you more than he loves her. She is the wrecker in your relationship."
Meng Ran nodded her head gently before she looked up to the second floor of the house. Her sight stayed on the place where Xia Sha stood earlier.
'The first step is done.', Meng Ran thought. 'Xia Sha has confirmed that she has an affair with Ling Guang. The second trap is ready. She just needs a few more moves to make Xia Sha react and do something to break them apart.'
After Xia Sha's action, she would react and ask for a breakup from Ling Guang. This way, she can reach for Guan Xian without offending Ling Guang and ruining Xia Sha's reputation on the way.
***
Xia Sha held her phone in her hand and scolded someone on the other line. That crazy monkey sure has the guts to ignore her request. It's been two days, and Meng Ran was still lingering freely in this world.
"Wait for the right moment, you said? She came to my house today!" Xia Sha made a big movement, standing up and opening the door to the balcony in her bedroom.
"Calm down my ass. I don't care, do it today!"
Her sight caught two women wearing bikinis near her pool. 'Such an eyesore! What is wrong with these two girls, the winter is near, and they choose to sunbathe.', she thought.
"Crazy Monkey!"
Xia Sha warned him once again before she finally heard the answer she wanted.
A beautiful smile decorates her face as she closed her phone. She walked away from the balcony, afraid that she would injure her eyes if she kept looking at the two dumb girls.
As she make her way to her bed, she passed through a few photos on the frame decorating her wall. It brings back the sweet memories of her past, pouring sour feelings into her heart.
When she decided to be with Ling Guang, she sacrificed a lot of things; family, friends, and money, she gave it up all for a man.
Xia Sha used to be at the top of society.
Now the Queen Bee has lost her bees.
Suddenly she felt jealous of Xia Xiang and Meng Ran. Two women become friends because they had the same purpose, that is to crush her down.
Xia Sha racked her brains. She didn't have a friend but she got plenty of enemies. What the hell has she done in this life?
Very well, enough of the pity party.
Since the sight of them made her sick and ruined her day, she decided to ruin their days too. She thought of something and then called aunty Bai.
...
Xia Xiang and Meng Ran were faking their endurance.
Today was such a cold day yet Meng Ran suggested for they sunbathe. Meng Ran always wanted to try how it felt to sunbathe near the pool as actresses did in the movie.
But she forgot that it was almost winter. She silently blamed Xia Xiang for being too stupid and not warning her when she suggested sunbathing.
Xia Xiang, on the other hand, was calling Meng Ran country bumpkin for insisting on sunbathing near the pool. She even went as far as buying a bikini and looking super excited.
No one spoke a word as they were busy standing in the cold and scolding each other for being stupid inside their heart. The maidservant, who watched them sunbathing on a cold day, silently laughed inside.
Someone said the truth, money can't buy class.
One of the maidservants walked down the stairs and whispered something to 3 maidservants who were in charge of serving Xia Xiang. After hearing the orders from their superiors, they had quite shocked faces but nodded their head obediently.
With a bottle in her hand, the maidservant swallowed hard before taking a step toward Xia Xiang and Meng Ran.
"Miss, do you want to apply sunblock? Miss Xia Sha usually applies these sunblocks when she goes sunbathing."
Xia Sha was observing them from her balcony and couldn't stop her giggling anymore.
"So stupid," she commented when she saw Xia Xiang nodding her head and turning her body around.
Her eyes turned cold when she saw how excited Meng Ran looked when she heard that it was the sunblock Xia Sha liked to use when she went sunbathing.
She observed the sunblock before turning her body around. Sure enough, the mistress always wanted to surpass the legal wife. It looks like there is no exception for Meng Ran too.
