Chapter 20-You Only Have Five Minutes (1/2)

A Miao placed herself in front of Zhou Xiao. ”This is my friend. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't show up in front of us.”

”What gives you the right to dictate that?” Xia Mei sneered. ”This is my home! Do you trust that I'll go and get someone to throw her out?”

”Very well. Go ahead and do it!” A Miao looked in the direction of the second floor. ”Ruin Xia Wan's banquet and let's see who'll be the disgraced one in the end!”

Xia Mei's expression changed. Truly, she had no courage to do so. She clenched her teeth. ”Hey! You’d better be honest! If I catch you stealing things, I'll send you to the police station!” After threatening Zhou Xiao, she shot A Miao a glare before turning around to leave.

Downstairs, Xia Wan appeared in the crowd with people surrounding her. Xia Yongqiang was currently introducing her to everyone. A Miao quietly brought Zhou Xiao to a corner of the hall. They sat down and began enjoying the light refreshments. Zhou Xiao saw how A Miao was focusing her attention on the dance floor and pondered over it before finally speaking.

”A Miao, you don't have to accompany me. You're also one of the hosts today. Go and speak to your guests!”

”This family has nothing to do with me.” A Miao's mouth twitched.

”I'll excuse myself for just a short while. Be careful.” She really must go over but it was not to entertain the guests.

Zhou Xiao nodded. ”Don't worry. I'll stay here and won't go anywhere!”

Seeing that Zhou Xiao did not seem afraid, A Miao left with a peaceful mind. She slowly made her way near Xia Yongqiang.

”Mr. Shen, I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time. I'm very glad that you're able to attend my birthday banquet!” Xia Wan revealed a clean smile at Shen Xinglan. Inside, she quietly sighed over how good looking he was.

Bai Youran and the other young masters were no match for him at all. She was determined to marry Shen Xinglan!

”You're welcome.” Shen Xinglan was still wearing a neutral expression. Seeing that his expression did not change, Xia Wan felt somewhat clueless.

The starlet next to Shen Xinglan smiled at her. ”Happy birthday, Ms. Xia!”
