Lei Xiqi's phone rang as a car stopped in front of them and Feng Nanxin got in before she could pick her phone.
"Hello, Lei Ming, are you there?" The car took off after that with the thought in Feng Nanxin's head of hearing a familiar name.
"Sister, its good to finally hear your voice. Since I've been transferred to Beijing, you can now have the chance to settle things for me right?" She laughs then looks at the city in front of her.
"If it weren't for the dignity of our family, I wouldn't have come here. And also, I must find out who this Song Mimi is since I never saw her. It's a shame I was busy but now, I'll make her come to me if she has the guts." She hangs up as her ride arrives and gets in.
Days pass by and both Xiao Juhan and Song Mimi have least time since Xiao Juhan is busy with a new song and Song Mimi still has a lot to take care of setting up the headquarters and its all hitting of well except for a problem out of nowhere she has to solve now.
"Zhong Hu, how many models do we have now?" She asks as she keeps her eyes fixed on the screen for models who all seem to reject her proposal.
"Mrs Song.... we're still on two." She shuts the laptop pissed as she's holding an opening ceremony very soon but still can't find her models.
"Mrs Song, something is up..." Zhong Hu hands his phone over to her as the video is already playing.
"Song Mimi right? I admire all your jewelry but it's a shame because of personal grudges I can't use your brand. If you're wondering how we got personal, then it's because you put Lei Ming in jail. I'm Lei Xiqi by the way and I hope we can be frenemies cause we're only enemies because I have to clean Lei Ming's mess. Sorry about your models by the way."
The video ends and Song Mimi looks at the screen for a while before throwing it against a wall smashing it to pieces. Zhong Hu looks at the broken pieces of his phone and is surprised.
"It...it shouldn't have....smashed...pieces like... that..." Song Mimi looks at him before sighing.
"Get yourself a new one and find me anyone who is right for this job, model or not, just find someone." She goes up to her room and then later comes back down with a coat on goes out as Zhong Hu still stares at the phone pieces in shock.
She wonders off into the streets anywhere until she comes up in a neighbourhood which seems to be very crooked then realizes she's gone very far. She looks at the roads very well then spots a pole and then it all comes back to her. She found herself in the crooked neighbourhood she used to live in back in high school. The neighbourhood were no one cared if one was being killed, beaten or robbed.
She found herself somehow unconsciously at the apartment where she lived then a loud noise snapped her out of her daze. She entered right away seeing three girls cower in fear in the corner while one was held tightly with her hands on the table about to be smashed.
"Stop it!" She goes over and pulls her away from them as the goons look at her pissed. The cowering girl on the other hand held the other girls securing them safely.
"Who do you think you are? Do you have any idea where you are? How dare you inter..."
A loud slap cuts him off as his face smashes into the table making a tooth fall off. She turns to the girls looking at the fear clear in their eyes.
"You bitch....I want her alive even if she's disfigured!" He yells and one goes over right away and she turns swiftly landing a punch on his face sending him towards the wall. The other two then held her hand but where flipped over right away.
"I've gone as soft as I can, now scram!" They take to their heels as she turns to the girls looking at them still a bit scared. She walked over to them crouching beside them.
"It's okay, give me your hand." The girl looks at her for a while before giving her hand. She looks at the worn out knitted gloves and takes them off. She stares at the delicate and beautiful hands for a while before looking at the others. They all had extreme beauty and just the right standards she needed for her models.
"How would you like to work for me?" They look at her stunned by her question before looking at each other.
"We owe you our lives but I don't think there's something we are good at. Our only gift is our hands and our faces. But living in this neighbourhood, there's no escape." She gets up looking around at the walls as they were still the same as usual.
"I used to live in this very neighbourhood and this apartment right here. My parents asked me to take my sister here if anything were to ever happen to them and I still don't know why." Just as her hands explore the wall, it somehow enters a void and she takes it out right away looking at her hand as a golden line marked on her hand.
"We have to leave from here." She turns back at the girls and takes their hand before leaving right away. Just as they walk down the path, a mob of men gather right in front of them.
"You're the trespasser? You seem to know how to protect yourself. But can you protect yourself against all of us and protect them as well?" She sighs and takes off her coat and hand it over to them then takes her phone and then sends a message before giving it to them.
"Head in that direction until you see the next street name. If anyone asks for Song Mimi, get in the car and tell him to wait for ten minutes. If I'm not back, leave. And don't look back." They look at her for a while before walking away. She turns to them as one of them approaches her.
"You think they'll get far? No one leaves from here alive."
She sneers then tears the sleeves of her shirt and wraps them around her hands.
"We'll have to see about that."
