So it had been decided, her plan of money making was perfect in her mind. But she still needed some props.
Who could she call for a cheap well designed invitation?
Xiao Ai thought for a while before her mind clicked to Gu Bojing. He was good with the computer, so her brother In law had blabbed some time ago.
Xiao Ai weighed the option in her mind for some time. She would give it a bit of time. Currently Gu Bojing too had his business to deal with.
After she was satisfied enough with her money grabbing plan, she called Lifen and told her about the plan. Lifen too was excited as she too was a money minded person.
During their lunch break, all they did was plan out the steps well. They made a list of names and after they were satisfied with it they parted ways.
Yusheng had noted that his two best friends were acting all cunning so he was a bit wary.
He and Lifen still had a long way to go. Everyone knew he liked her. Except the one he liked. How was he not obvious enough in his feelings.
He had once thought of telling her directly, but Lifen was the type of person that would stay away from him if she didn't have mutual feelings towards him. He didn't want to risk her not being in his life.
Xiao Ai wasn't helping in any way too. She was either busy swindling people or she was thinking about him to swindle people. He wondered how a person like her from a prestigious background could be that shameless.
It was her fault after all few years back out of pride she had boasted to her sister that she could live independently.
Before Xiao Ai knew it, it was already night. As she packed her things and was about to leave, Baozhai came in.
Xiao Ai grunted inside. She was sure Baozhai would try to talk to her again. Probably to get her angry.
"I heard that big sis is coming back."
Ahhh! She knew it. This Baozhai can't go a day without trying to poke her with words.
"En. My biological big sister is coming back. How did you hear? I thought only family members knew about this." she poked her back with her words.
Baozhai gritted her teeth as she looked at Xiao Ais indifferent actions.
What's so great about the witch?
"I was just wondering how much of a good relationship you still have with her. Didn't you two have a cat and dog fight few years back. Come to think of it, Miss Mo your twin brother hasn't returned in years. Is everything fine..?" She asked in fake worried tone as she gave Xiao Ai a wicked smile.
Xiao Ai had to refrain herself from tearing Baozhais face there and be done with it, but she suppressed her emotions and maintained her indifferent and arrogant look.
"Thank you for your concern though, but we both know my brother is in the military. These kind of thing is normal. Why don't you focus on your filthy engagement with your fiancé. If I were you, I would be trying to secure my place after all its only a matter of time before your fiancé family finds out they have the illegitimate so called princess." she finished adding an imaginary quote mark and walked out of the room.
Baozhai slammed her fists on the table causing some objects to fall.
She just couldn't get to her right.
Even after stealing her fiancé. Even when she took her place in the Zhao family.
The truth was that she would always remain the illegitimate daughter. There was one thing she couldn't win against Xiao Ai for.
And it was blood. She couldn't change the blood that flowed through her.
Xiao Ai was just as arrogant as her mom. Back then, when her mom had taken her place, Chairwoman Mo had an indifferent expression on her face. Although she was the one being kicked out, she still looked quite arrogant. She could still remember how angry her mom had been after seeing her expression.
Never would she have thought that she would have to face the same with Xiao Ai.
Before Xiao Ai was bad tempered and she was not usually able to conceal her emotions. Until she left for Russia.
If she were related to the Mo family, would their grand aunt have chosen her instead of Xiao Ai.
She had to admit that she did lose to Xiao Ai in a lot of aspects but she wasn't ready to face the truth yet.
Xiao Ai was nothing without the Mo family, but she still had father's protection. She won against Xiao Ai in that phase.
Baozhai sat as her eyes contained complex emotions. Lately she had been feeling complex when it came to Xiao Ai. She hated her but she also hated the fact that a part of her was always entranced by her beauty.
Even she couldn't help but for fall for her.
Xiao Ai was about to get into the car she had swindled from her brother In law, when Jenny and Lifen stopped her.
"Hey, Xiao Ai gave us a ride home will you? Where did you get this chick from? Is it a stolen car?" Lifen greedily asked scanning the exquisite insides of the car while Jenny just sat at the back staring her phone.
On her screen was a picture of Xiao Ai from the press conference she had done at Stars corporation.
She was smiling warmly at the camera as she folded her arms behind her. She looked so beautiful and innocent, Jenny couldn't help her fluttering heart. She stole a glance at Xiao Ai in front who was adjusting herself as she drove the car.
"You can't go a day without bothering me can you? Long Lifen are you so poor that you can't even afford transport back to your place?"
Lifen wanted to curse at her but refrained herself seeing that Jenny too was in the car. Lately Jenny had been a bit strange. She was worried she wouldn't be able to handle being abducted by the same group of people but weirdly she said nothing about it and only asked her questions about Xiao Ai.
Lifen already had a wild guess but she didn't want to think that far.
Xiao Ais beauty trap could trap anyone but she dared not think Xiao Ai had used it on Jenny. Or had she unintentionally used it and Jenny had fallen for it. Lifen looked back at Jenny again and saw that the little one was concentrated on her phone.
Lifen brought out her hand mirror and pretended to look at herself as she sneakily used the mirror to check what Jenny was staring at with so much love.
Alas, it was Xiao Ais picture.
Lifen frowned. This kid. She too had fallen for Xiao Ai? She sighed as she returned the mirror to her bag glancing at Xiao Ai and then the phone.
Xiao Ai and Jenny hadn't spoken for long except for the greeting looks they gave each other. Jenny wanted to talk to her but she didn't know what to say.
"Lifen, it's fine. Did you just realize that you are ugly. I saw you looking into the mirror with a frown. I say not everyone can be as good looking as this young Miss. Right Jenny?" Xiao Ai asked glancing at Jenny though the rear view mirror.
Jenny who didn't expect that Xiao Ai would talk to her was a bit taken aback as she saw Xiao Ais shining eyes through the mirror.
She blushed a bit as she replied. " Yes.." her voice was soft and carried a trace of shyness as she looked back at her phone.
Lifen didn't know what to do as she felt helpless.
"Back in university in Russia, Xiao Ai was number one campus beauty while I was second. Xiao Ai has a charm to her. A charm that can pull anyone in." Lifen started while Xiao Ai was grinning hearing Lifen praise her.
" Back then, she was bisexual. Her number of boyfriends and girlfriends were unlimited. Jenny I tell you, Xiao Ai would change girlfriends and boyfriends even single day. She used her charm in any way possible she didn't even spare our female professor back then. Am warning you not to fall for her. Even I was once a victim. Though I have to say I was her only girlfriend that lasted for a month." Lifen finished looking out the window as if she had not just tarnished Xiao Ais perfect sister reputation.
Xiao Ai glared at Lifen before giving Jenny a smile.
"Hehe..don't mind Lifen. She likes to exaggerate matters. Who wasn't once wild. This Lifen also had countless flings back then. Why aren't you talking about yourself.?" Xiao Ai barked suddenly feeling exhausted.
Jenny was a bit shocked. Sure the media had said that Xiao Ais list of boyfriends were uncountable. They could even amass to a whole country if added up but she never expected that Xiao Ai used to like girls. A part of her was excited and happy.
Did she still like girls? Did she stand a chance ?
But never had she imagined Xiao Ai and Lifen together.
Soon Xiai Ai dropped Lifen and Jenny home and turned around to go to her hubby. While she was waiting for the green light, she caught sight of the news. The tax force had just revealed that Gu Bojing, president of Gu Corporation had evaded a lot of tax in the past and had embezzled company funds too. Some employees gave testimonies and presented papers to back their claim.
Xiao Ai sighed as she stepped on the accelerator.
Just what was he planning.?
Was he in a bad mood currently?
