After Xiao Ai and Lifen got to Stars company. Xiao AI stared at the building from but up to down.
"This place probably has more than 40 floors right?" She asked thinking about how she made herself suffer for no reason.
"Of course. A particular stupid friend of mine has a mom who's No.1 on top businesswomen in China but she was stupid enough and chose to be poor.' Lifen turned to Xiao Ai weighing her up and down. " Don't you think that friend of mine is actually quite foolish? "
She turned around and walked into the building."Are you coming or not. This quack shameless doctor has little time to spare." Lifen said loud enough for people to hear.
Xiao Ai looked around and saw that other people were staring at Lifen. She felt that it was better to die than to be associated with such a person. So she turned and acted like she was just looking around awkwardly smiling.
"I don't know her...I don't. She's unrelated." she told no one in particular.
"Did you hear that. That woman is a quack. Isn't she from Care Medical Centre?" a woman in pink told her colleagues. Currently Lifen was wearing her doctors coat and that made it easier to recognize her.
"I know right. I didn't know they had started to hire quacks. Seems like she came with that lady in blue over there. They both look weird."
Zhao Ai was no better. She was wearing a big blue dress that reached her ankle . The dress was too big for her as she had changed clothes in the hospital earlier. This was the type of clothes xiao AI often wore. Clothes that concealed her figure and beauty making her looking older than she was.
"No no its a misunderstanding I actually don't know her. I certainly have never met her before." Xiao AI denied not daring to look at Lifen.
Sorry friend but at times like this it's better to be safe.
Lifen strolled over to the two ladies. Sized them up and down before turning to Xiao Ai.
"And you Xiao Ai you don't know me? You certainly don't know me? Do you dare to say that again? "
Xiao immediately acted like she was in a difficult position. She turned to the other two ladies. "I don't know you miss. Looks like you are from the department of Psychiatry in Care Medical Centre. You must be a patient, did you mistakenly take a doctor's coat?"
"D*** she's actually a psychiatrist patient. Shouldn't we call the ambulance?"
"Seems like this lady here is also a victim. Let's hurry and leave before she starts to act mad. " The two women immediately scurried away afraid that Lifen the patient will act mad and try to fight with them. And Lifen who looked like she would puke out blood soon stared at Xiao AI, thinking why she had a friend like this. Lifen turned around and walked further into the building. When she got to the reception Xiao Ai tapped her shoulder.
"Lifen...dear..are you angry?"
Lifen turned to look at her and with an indifferent look she asked "Sorry do I know you?"
"Heehe..." Xiao AI laughed awkwardly "you know how things are these days if I am associated with a quack like you where is my dignity as a doctor? "
"You are a quack too! We are both quacks!" she shouted, clearly upset.
"How may we help you miss?"
"We are here to see the Chairwoman."
The two receptionist stared at each other. Quacks were here to see their biggest boss. Is this proper?
A receptionist who taught they were just fooling around prepared to send them off." sorry but quacks aren't allowed to see the Chairwoman. If you have an appointment I could make a call for you." she said arrogantly and clearly irritated.
"What did you just say? Do you dare to repeat it?" Xiao Ai Asked.
"Who are you calling quacks? You can eat shamelessly but you can't talk shamelessly. The Chairwoman is our mother!" Lifen stated proudly.
"Emmm....Lifen say is that the correct thing. Isn't it carelessly instead of shamelessly?" Xiao Ai asked scratching her head.
"Is it..? Whatever."
"Yes whatever. So please use the door before I call the security on you. " The other receptionist said but the first one who didn't like the two women who had suddenly come to cause trouble had already called the security. Soon two stern looking women came and was dragging Lifen and Xiao AI out. At that time, Chairwoman Mo had just walked into the building followed by an entourage of directors and security.
Mother and daughter made eye contact with each other and it almost felt like time had froze. Although they lived in the same city. Although it wasn't difficult to meet each other Xiao had clearly stated that she didn't want to meet her. Chairwoman Mo knew her daughter had been brainwashed and so she could only wait for the day when Xiao Ai would come to her senses.
"Mom...." Xiao AI called tears dropping from her eyes. "Mom..." she ran and gave her mother a tight hug crying loudly into her clothes. "Mom am sorry. I did wrong. Am sorry."
"Little AI, let's go up." Her mom said knowing there were countless eyes on them.
After they got to her office. Chairwoman Mo asked Xiao Ai what had happened. As she listened to Xiao Ai talk about things they had done to her. Her heart ached for her daughter. No matter what a child could have done she couldn't leave her be.
"Little Ai take this card and go to Stars shopping mall. Mrs Zhang will help you find a new dress."
"Mom..."
"It's fine. Little Ai whatever you want to do mother will support you. Don't cry. My little Ai."
After Xiao Ai and Lifen had gotten a dress for the banquet that evening, Xiao Ai got a call from Baozhai.
"Sister you didn't forget about the banquet did you?"
"Of course....not. Why would I forget my sisters engagement banquet with my fiancé I will definitely come."
"En. Sister do you want me to accompany you to look for dresses? Chun-ge gave me some money. I will pay for your clothes."
Xiao Ai was suddenly reminded of the time when she would take Baozhai to shop with her money. In her past life there was nothing Baozhai wanted that she didn't give to her.
"Never mind. I already have something to wear."
After Baozhai hung up, her eyes were deep and full of scorn but she didn't know why she still felt a bit scared. Zhao Ais tone of speaking had changed. Her voice was clear and she sounded very courageous over the phone unlike her normal shy and dejected voice.
Xiao Ai sent Lifen back to the hospital and went to a restaurant. It was noon already and she had yet to eat breakfast. She rushed out of the house in the morning because she was afraid something would happen between her and her new husband. Xiao Ai had never met someone who made her self restraint seem as shameless and little as she was.
As soon as she booked a private a room, she dialed the unfamiliar number on her phone.
"Yes." came the cold and husky voice.
"Am at sunshine Restaurant room 26 come meet me. I want to talk to you."
"Ok."
That easy? Xiao Ai thought. Wasn't a husband supposed to be warm. What's with his cold voice?
Barely few minutes had passed when the door was pushed open. The man walked lightly with his heels making a soft soothing sound on the floor. He was tall and perfectly sculpted. There was not a single flaw on him. It looked like he had walked straight out of a men's magazine.
"D*** if he Ventures into the entertainment industry he would cause chaos everywhere." Xiao Ai thought.
The two were like a pair of contrasting characters. While the man looked noble and dignified in his neat suit, the woman looked rough and flirty. Although her clothes were baggy enough to conceal any feature she had, she looked like some random street trouble maker and the air around her was heavy and smelt of trouble. The man had a warm aura, one glance and he would make you feel safe but upon close looking one would realize he had very dangerous vibes. His eyes were cold and emotionless and his lips pursed and unwilling to move.
To Xiao Ai he was like the evil Emperor from the yuan dynasty and she was the little consort who just got into trouble.
"You parents didn't teach you manners? You don't know to knock before entering a place? What if I was busy with a boy toy?" She scolded.
"You said?" he asked his voice dangerous and low. Xiao AI could feel the threat from his looks. And she felt a shiver down her spines. He was staring very intently at her and looked like he could devour her any minute.
"Em....cough cough. Evil devil Emperor sorry. I meant your parents taught you well..indeed you are such a good son to them. An the one that wasn't taught well." she immediately tried to please the man who looked like he could freeze her any minute.
"No the other one."
"En...which one. Biggest boss...." she noticed that the more she spoke the more annoyed and angry he looked. "No greatest boss..its my fault this subordinate will now take her leave." Xiao AI had planned to run from the situation. With the look of things, if she stayed here any longer she might not be able to breath properly. The air was too heavy. Too cold.
As she took a step towards the door, she was suddenly drawn back into warm and strong hands. "Ahhh..biggest boss I said am sorry. Let bygones be bygones en?"
Gu Bojing looked like he didn't hear what she had said and steadied her on his legs making her sit comfortably. He held her palms in between his. Her hands were noticeably small.
Suddenly, Xiao AI felt warm lips on her. It was so faint, so quick she almost felt she was imagining it.
"Was I not satisfying enough this morning?" The words rang to her ears, his lips grazing her ear lobes softly. It felt tingly so she couldn't help but wriggle a bit, but the man held her in place. "Is that why you would want to find a boy toy?" He asked his husky voice making her shiver a bit.
Before things went future, Xiao Ai immediately buried her head in his shoulder, preventing him from going further. But this little action had caused his chest to warm up and his heart fluttered strongly.
This little one. She still has this habit. Did she do this to other men as well.
"I know we are married as I saw my certificate myself and I even called the civil bureau to check but I don't know who my husband is or what job he does. You don't me as well. I might be an assassin or a spy worst I could be a prostitute but you still married me. Say handsome do you marry anyone who drunkenly asks you to marry? "
"No."
"Then why did you marry me? Wasn't your decision last night a bit foolish?"
"Because it had to be you. Just you and no one else." he answered as a matter of fact.
Xiao Ai felt something was strange. This man why did he feel familiar?
"Handsome have we met before?"
"Why do you ask?"
"No never mind. You can't be."
"Ok." After few minutes of silence he suddenly spoke again. "I am Gu Bojing, president of Emperor group of industries. Nice to meet you Zhao Ai doctor of psychology at Care Medical Centre."
"You know what I do?" She asked clearly surprised. "Well that seems normal considering am very popular."
"En popular for being the shameless psychologist with the least number of patients."
"You...am not a quack though. I was just being silly in the past." she countered trying to save her awful reputation. "I have to go now. I have a lot to do. Don't wait for me tonight I will be a bit late. " she had already spoken when she felt this was awkward. She had never had to tell anyone to wait for her. Now, her marriage did seem real but she just wasn't taking it seriously yet.
"I will drop you off."
"No need no need. The place am going is just adjacent here. I have a banquet in two hours so I have to prepare."
At the Zhao residence.
Reporters filled the surroundings, if not for the security keeping them in check, some might have barged in to the event to sneak some pictures.
Tonight was a gossip they couldn't ignore. The medical industry was involved and all big shots from there will be here. The most interesting was how the fiancé of the 1st daughter of the house ended up becoming the fiancé of the 2nd daughter instead.
"I haven't seen the first miss or the second miss. Aren't they attending?"
"Attending my ass. The 1st dared not show her face. Her ex fiancé is getting engaged to her sister. How humiliating is that." a reporter from daily news added.
"I heard the 1st miss is quite the character."
"Are you kidding? She's the most shameless person in Care Medical Centre. I even heard that she is a quack and only got her license because of her background." The reporter from daily news added.
Of course this type of thing was only something someone had paid him to say. It seemed like Baozhai had already set a trap for Xiao Ai.
"The 2nd miss is the best psychologist in Care Medical Centre it's only natural that Young Master Li would go for her instead. A man isn't foolish you know."
"Yes yes..after all they own the best Pharmaceutical company in the country. Zhao Ai should consider herself lucky enough to be in laws with such person."
The other reporters agreed with him.
"Quick look it's young master Li. He's escorting Miss Baozhai. Shit this couple is a match made in heaven."
The other reporters furiously clicked their cameras taking shots of the couple from different angle.
Baozhai wore a white off the shoulder long gown it had gold embroidery of flowers on it at the edge and it was overflowing with beauty. One glance and she looked like a princess who is attending an event for the first time. With her arm linked in Li Chunhua's arm, she had a warm smile on her face. Her shy expression made everyone want to go easy on her. Chunhua wore a black limited design tuxedo with a white bow.
"That dress isn't that clues limited dress?" A female reporter who was a crazy fan of clue said.
"That's true I heard there's just one of it. Shit isn't this slapping us in the face with money."
"As expected of young miss Zhao."
"Miss Zhao do you two have plans on getting married? When do you plan to marry?"
Baozai smiled shyly. "This matter I will leave it to chu-ge."
Madam Dong Lin immediately came forward urging her daughter to step inside.
An hour had passed and Baozai was almost fed of greeting guests. Seeing that Zhao Ai was nowhere to be seen, she guessed that she must not have wanted to come. She quickly sent a message to a reporter she planted at the event.
"First miss Zhao isn't here yet, does she not want to wish her sister a happy life."
"True no matter what it could be, isn't she still her sister. Its not like she can choose who will fall for her."
Other reporters immediately started criticizing Zhao AI.
Baozhai had a sad expression on her face and looked like she was being wronged.
"Chu-ge do you think sister is angry with me so she wont give me her blessings? I called her earlier and she had said she would come I even told her to let's go shopping together .I wanted to get her new clothes. But it seems...it seems.." She sucked in a deep breath, her eyes was red and watery "it seems sister is avoiding me."
"Silly child. Why do you still care for her when she doesn't care for you. Everyone knows Xiao Ais reputation. Things like she doesn't care about. Child don't be sad just take it that she isn't coming today." Madam Dong turned to the reporters. "This child has dolled up specially for her sister. Baozai is used to having Xiao AI around but it seemed that girl doesn't think the same."
Everyone could already grab a hold of what was happening. It turned out Zhao Ai gave false hopes to Baozhai but wasn't planning to attend. She must have wanted to make Baozhai feel bad for getting together with a man that once was her fiancé.
"This first miss isn't she being too much. After all Second miss is still her sister."
"Need to say more. Her reputation is bad as it is. She's lucky to have a sister like Baozai."
Zhao AI you see how everyone is slandering you. I will push you to the pit of hell soon. Just you wait.
"Shit who owns that car. That's the limited edition Rolls Royce. There's just 5 of it in the whole world. Wait...isn't that first Miss Zhao."
"Fist miss Zhao your ass. That looks like a pair of mother and daughter. Besides First miss isn't pretty like that okay."
Zhao AI alighted from the car with her mother and some workers quickly lay a red carpet for them.
"Seriously these ones brought their personal red carpet. They must be rich."
"Rich my foot? Isn't that Chairwoman Mo?"
Hmm..Chairwoman Mo. Who didn't know chairwoman Mo. She was a legend of all business women. More beautiful than some models. although she was nearing her fifties she still looked 30.
"Then that dazzling beauty beside her is..."
Zhao AI walked forward with her mom a faint mesmerizing smile on her well sculpted face. She looked around before her gaze landed on her sister whose face looked pale like she had just seen a ghost.
In a smooth loving voice she spoke" Hello everyone. I am Zhao AI."
Bang! A Young master from a rich household dropped his glass of champagne.
Everyone looked dumb struck. Zhao AI.
Zhao AI was this beautiful. Isn't this an angel that descended from the sky?.
