Hu Chuxi sat there with Mei Xia, who lay on the couch sleeping. Chuxi was arranging some files.
Because of you!!" Your sister was kicked out!!!.... Pants!...
'. It wasn't me!'. She mumbled in her sleep.
'. Miss Xia?'. Chuxi placed her hand on her forehead.
'. It's cold, why are you sweating?'.
'. [Pants]'.
'. Miss Xia, please wake up!'. She woke her.
'. No!!'. She got up from her sleep, panting with sweat all over her.
'. Miss Xia, were you having a bad dream again?'.
'. [Sighs]'.
'. I will go get you some water!'. She walks to get the water.
'. [Because of you!!!]'.
'. Miss Xia!'. Chuxi handed the cup of water to her.
'. Miss Xia, you should take a day off, you have been walking late!'. She said as she drank the cup of water.
'. I am fine!'. She places the cup on the table.
'. You worked overnight yesterday, you were extremely tired!'.
'. I see!... what's the time?'.
'. It's almost 11 am!'.
'. What?... what about the foreigners?'.
'. Just as you instructed, Mulang went to pick them up, they should be on their way to the Villa by now!'.
'. I need to supervise them!'.
'. Miss Xia, everything has been taken care of.
'. [Sighs]...come with me!'.
'. Oh!'. They rushed out of the office.
At about 30 minutes past noon, the foreigners arrived at the Villa's.
'. I have never seen such a beauty before!'. The man said in English.
'. This is one of the best!'. Mulang said in English.
'. That's good!'.
'. This way, please!'. He stretches his hand out.
'. Thank you!'.
Getting to the Villa's, Miss Xia had a second look at the Villa.
'. Good!'. She sighed calmly.
'. Miss Xia, how do you like my work?'.
'. Good!'. She smiled.
'. All thanks to Mr Lu!'.
'. Mr Lu?'.
'. Mm!....he offered to help!'.
'. Where's he?'.
'. He should be on his way....he left early!'.
'. Oh!....where are the guests?'.
'. They should be in the room by now!'.
'. Let's meet them later then!'.
'. Oh!'.
In the room of the foreigners, a man sat there with a woman who you could tell was also a foreigner.
'. So far, so good!.... I would say this is a good Villa!'. The man said in English to the lady.
'. It's really beautiful and the texture is really good!'.
'. I'm proud we chose this one!'.
'. Me too!'.
'. I haven't seen the person in charge!'.
'. About that, I will inform them!'. She walks to the telephone.
Miss Xia!! Hu Chuxi ran to Miss Xia, who sat in her office.
'. What's it?'. She asked as Chuxi panted.
'. The foreigners wish to see you!'.
'. Oh!'. She rushed out.
Sitting there in the large room which I would compare to a conference room wasn't one. The man kept smiling at Mei Xia.
'. Mr Daniel, I am sorry that I couldn't welcome you at the entrance, please forgive me!'. She spoke in English, smiling.
'. That's okay!'.
'. I am also sorry, Mrs Stacy!'. She turned to the lady.
'. It's okay, Miss Chloe!'.
'. You know me?'.
'. You must have forgotten I once taught business administration in college, you were one of my students!'.
'. Business administration? College?'.
'. It's okay if you can't recall!'.
'. Mrs Stacy!!'. She gently walked to her and hugged her.
'. I recognized you at first glance!'.
'. How could I have forgotten you!'. She smiled at her.
'. I guess we are fated!'.
'. Of course, we are!'. They hugged once more, and Miss Xia walked back to her seat.
'. I didn't know you both knew each other?'. Mr Daniel said.
'. Miss Xia here was one of my best students!'.
'. I'm happy to hear that!'.
'. Thank you, Mr Daniel!'.
'. Mind if I ask for your Chinese name?'.
'. I am Mei Xia!'.
'.....Xia?'. He couldn't get the pronunciation right.
'. Just call me Miss Chloe!'.
'. That's a good one, Chloe?'.
'. Um!'.
'. A good name!'.
'. Permit me to ask, how is your staying here?'.
'. I didn't expect you to have such achievement so fast!'.
'. Mrs Stacy, you flatter me!'.
'. I guess Miss Chloe must be a brave lady.
'. You are right, Mr Daniel!'.
'. Well, as an investor, I decided to come to China, to see how I could help, it would be good to invest in some top companies here in Beijing city!'.
'. You are right, Mr. Daniel!... our Beijing city has a lot of top companies, am sure you came to the right place!'.
'. Of course, I did!'.
'. [Smiling]'.
'. And I already found one!'.
'. One?...so fast!....you just arrived a few hours ago!'.
'. Miss Chloe you don't mind me investing in your hotels and villas, do you?'.
'. Mr Daniel?'. She stared at them.
'. Don't be surprised, my uncle is a generous man!'.
'. Uncle?'.
'. I forgot to introduce myself, this is my uncle!'.
'. Am I dreaming?....or hallucinating?'.
'. No, you are not!'.
'. Mr Daniel!....this is too much!'.
'. This is too little for a beauty like you.
'. Thank you so much, Mr Daniel!'.
'. You are welcome!'.
'. We might be staying for a week extra!'.
'. Not to worry, Mr Daniel!'.
'. The contract can be discussed with My niece!'.
'. Okay!'.
'. Have a good time, ladies!'. He walked away.
'. The contract will be sent to your office!'.
'. Thank you so much, Mrs Stacy!'.
'. You are welcome!'.
Mrs Veronica sat there in the living room. She was having steamed buns.
'. Mother!'. Miss Xin walked to her mother-in-law.
'. Xin, you are back!'. Mrs Xin sat down.
'. Maids!!, come give Mrs Xin a massage!'. She said.
'. Mother, you don't have to worry about me!'.
'. It's been a few weeks since you returned, you already got bundled with work!'.
'. Si Cheng has been busy lately, I wonder if he stays at the office!'.
'. He can take care of himself!'.
'. He gets busier and busier!....what to do!'.
'. Si Cheng can always take care of himself!'.
'. If he had a lover, she would have been with him at the office!'. Mrs Xin Sighed.
'. A lover?'.
'. [Sighs]'.
'. Si Cheng came home with a lady the other day!'.
'. A lady?!'. She got up.
'. He said she was a business friend!'.
'. This son of a bitch!'. She ran upstairs.
'. [Sighs]...another bomb got exploded!'. She smiled.
Mei Xia had left the villa. She went to the Su company, one of the top 5 architect companies, it comes after Future Group company. Miss Xia sat there with Mrs Qian.
'. What have I done to honor these visits?'.
'. You might be wondering, who I am?'.
'. Not!'.
'. [Smiles], well I am here for business, Mrs Qian!'.
'. Seems like you do know me!'.
'. I am Ài Mei Xia, the granddaughter of Mr Ài'.
'. I see!...the illegitimate daughter!'.
'. Yes!, the illegitimate daughter!'. She smiled at her.
'. What?...you want to form some kind of ally with me?'.
'. You think too much, Mrs Qian!.. I'm here to save you!'.
'. Save me?....and then gain my trust!'.
'. You are smart!'.
'. In this business world, there are neither friends nor foes, just shadows!'.
'. I see!'.
'. So why are you here?'.
'. Like I said earlier I am here to save you! I just need you to play along!'.
'. You are just a little teenager who made it! you have got no right to speak to me!'.
'. [Smiles].....when I finally attend your funeral, I will say to your grave I told you!'. She smiled and got up.
'. Wait!'. She got up.
'. What's it?'. She turned to her.
'. As long as it is worth the time, I will sure play along!'.
'. Thanks for reconsidering!'. They sat down back.
Lei Wuije returned home really late. He seemed happy.
'. You bastard!!'. She slapped him.
'. Xiabo!'.
'. You liar and cheat!!'.
'. What's wrong with you?.'
'. You said you love me!'.
'. I love you!'.
'. You!'. She slapped him.
'. Xiabo!!'. He held her hand.
'. Let go!'.
'. What's wrong with you?!'.
'. You cheated!!...you said you had no feelings for Mei Lien, but you got out of a hotel room with her!!'.
'. How many times have I told you....she isn't Mei Lien!!.... Mei Lien isn't as beautiful as she!!'.
'. You bastard!!'. She was going to hit him, but he held her.
'. You are jealous?.....we just had business!'.
'. Business in a hotel room!!!'.
'. Why are you picking on me?...you even followed me?..... I am disappointed in you!'.
'. I hate you!!'. He slapped her.
'. You are no match for me!'. He walked away.
'. Ahhhhh!!'. She yelled.
'. [Mei Xia or whatever!!..... I do not care if you are the last soul of Mei Lien, I Xiabo will wipe you out of this world once again!!]'. She threw a pot of flowers at the wall.
What a poor pot of flowers.
