Xia Sha guessed that Meng Ran would report everything to Ling Guang just as Xia Xiang tell her mischievousness to Pang Ze Tian. And probably Xia Qi Feng later on.
But watching two grey women with red and blue bikinis perspectively crying while brushing the pool was worth it. Every time Xia Xiang threw a fit at the servant, none of them would say a word but replied-
"I'm sorry, miss. Miss Xia Sha ordered that no one can help you clean the mess."
Then Xia Xiang would throw a dirty glare toward Xia Sha's balcony. Xia Sha hides behind the curtains for the first ten minutes, then finally stepped up and replied to Xia Xiang's glare with a smug face.
She deliberately leaned on the balcony and took a picture of them.
"Make sure it's clean! My pool is expensive. Even if you two sold all of your branded goods, you still could not afford it," Xia Sha yelled from the balcony.
Meng Ran felt very wronged. She hasn't stopped crying since she almost drowned. Now that she had to brush a pool of 25 meters long while watching her grey skin, she started to feel depressed.
Xia Xiang felt so stressed out as she needs to clean the pool and heard Meng Ran's cry at the same time.
"Ah! Don't worry about your skin. It will go after one week!" Xia Sha laughed from the balcony. She enjoys the fun entertainment show until her phone rang.
Ling Guang is calling.
Sure enough, happiness won't stay long.
Xia Sha's expression turned cold in a split second. She put on a fake smile and answered the call.
"Hello dear," Xia Sha talked in her usual voice. Trying to surpass her urges to puke upon hearing his voice.
"Xia Sha, where are you? Why didn't you come to the office?"
Xia Sha was stunned and almost fooled. If she hadn't known the truth, she would have felt touched by Ling Guang's fake concerns.
"I'm sick," Xia Sha made an excuse, her sight falling on Meng Ran's body in a red bikini.
"What happened to you? Are you okay? Have you seen the doctor? That can't do. I will pick you up, and we will go to the hospital now," Ling Guang sounded worried and in distress.
Xia Sha lowered her head, her lips turning into a mocking smile.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you at my house," Xia Sha replied in a low tone.
'I'll let you see what I can do to save your new lover', she thought.
After several wishy-washy chats, Ling Guang ended the call, claiming that he will immediately go to fetch her. Xia Sha looked at the clock on the wall.
'Just right in the time, she thought. Father Xia would come home soon. She once again looked at Xia Xiang and Meng Ran and continue her fun,
"Stop brushing! I'm not content with your work. I'm afraid that the pool will be dirtier if you keep brushing like that."
***
Xia Xiang and Meng Ran took a long time to wash their body clean, but the grey color stubbornly stuck on their fair skin. Meng Ran wanted to kill Xia Sha when she saw her reflection in the mirror.
Biting her lips hard, Meng Ran swore that she would have revenge on Xia Sha. However, right when she stepped out of the door, she was greeted by Xia Xiang's worried grey face before anything else.
"Meng Ran! Quick! Brother Ling Guang is downstairs!"
Meng Ran turned into stone after listening to the information from Xia Xiang.
She looked at her grey skin, and suddenly her eyes were filled with water again. However, her tears dry as she looks at the bright side.
Just right, she could complain to Ling Guang. Ling Guang would bring justice to her. Moreover, now that Xia Sha had known their unspoken relationship, there was no reason for her to hide anymore.
Without thinking any further, she stepped out of the room to find Ling Guang sitting proudly in the living room. Her eyes light up when she sees Ling Guang. She is so happy that she did not notice other people in the living room.
"Brother Ling Guang!" she called out for help rushing from the stairs to the living room.
Ling Guang looked at her and got surprised when he saw her grey skin. He frowned and wanted to ask what happened to her, but when he felt the cold gaze from Xia Sha, he held his tongue.
Ling Guang asked nothing, even acting like a stranger toward Meng Ran. Tears started to well up in her eyes. Meng Ran was about to say something when Xia Qi Feng's stern gaze met her eyes. Shut stunned, she looks aggrieved. The urge to complain grew. Meng Rang almost screws everyone over when she catches Pang Ze Tian and gives her a hint.
That's when Meng Ran realized that Xia Qi Feng was also present in the room.
Meng Ran felt even more wronged by Xia Sha. But she knew she could not do anything when Xia Qi Feng is sitting like a big boss on the couch while Pang Ze Tian sat obediently beside him.
Xia Xiang, who run behind Meng Ran, stopped her step when she realized that father Xia had come back from his gold session. Realizing that this is her stage to star, Xia Xiang starts her sad face as she weakly sat on the couch near Xia Qi Feng.
Xia Qi Feng was clueless about Xia Xiang, but Pang Ze Tian was her biological mother. Pang Ze Tian notices everything wrong with her daughter the moment she enter her sight.
"Xiang Xiang, what happened to your skin?" Pang Ze Tian almost shouted as she approach Xia Xiang with terror in her eyes.
Xia Qi Feng only realized his daughter had pulled another teenager's prank when Pang Ze Tian pointed it out loudly. He looked at Xia Sha with a stern look, prepared to scold her.
"You are a grown-up. Stop playing those teenage pranks!" Xia Qi Feng's frowned at Xia Sha. But his scolding does not affect Xia Sha even a bit. She grinned at her father and looked at Pang Ze Tian.
"Aunty, your daughter, and her friend were sunbathing. They could not afford any sunblock, so as a loving big sister, I let them wear mind. Who would know they choose the expired one?" Xia Sha replied casually.
Everyone is not stupid. Of course, the expired product might harm the skin, but turning skin grey wasn't one of the side effects. Everything was purely Xia Sha's doing to scare Meng Ran and Xia Xiang.
Hearing his daughter's ridiculous explanation, Xia Qi Feng wants to scold Xia Sha again. But before he had the chance, Xia Sha quickly diverted the topic.
"Ah, father, do you remember Meng Ran? She is Xia Xiang's best friend. She is also the secretary of Ling Guang," She dropped a clue for Xia Qi Feng with a smile.
Ling Guang, who was silently lowering his head, received a sharp glance from father Xia and sweat started to form on his body.
Damn it! Don't tell me Xia Qi Feng has known about Meng Ran.
Xia Qi Feng said nothing but turned his sharp glance towards Meng Ran instead. Obviously, he is not too blind to see the way Meng Ran ran to Ling Guang just now. He was looking at her as if examining a good. He furrowed his eyebrows, looking at Meng Rang, then at his daughter.
Xia Sha, who received such a look from her father chuckled. He must be comparing her to Meng Ran.
Xia Sha guessed it right.
Father Xia was complaining that Xia Sha was better in any aspect than that grey girl! Ling Guang is blind!
