Chapter 37 Yousre the Woman in the Video (1/2)
When A Miao woke up, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar room. Her first reaction was to lift open the quilt. She saw that she was now wearing pajamas and they were not even hers.
In a moment of panic, she jumped off from the bed but a sudden stabbing pain in her head caused her to sit back down on the bed. She then felt herself all over.
”Phew! Looks like nothing happened.”
”What do you think could have happened?” The voice came from the door. A Miao turned her head to look. ”Why is it you?”
Dissatisfaction crossed Shen Xinglan's pupils. ”Is this woman trying to abandon her benefactor after being rescued?”
”Who did you hope it would be?” He slowly walked in. ”Xia Fan?”
A Miao's expression fell drastically as her memories returned to her.
”You got a doctor to examine me?” She felt the eye of the needle embedded in her hand. ”Thank you.”
No matter what, this man had been her savior every time she was in danger even if he would be a real annoyance and bully her afterward. A Miao touched her nose, suddenly feeling something in her heart.
She felt as if Shen Xinglan would never truly harm her no matter what she did.
”You're welcome.” Shen Xinglan smirked. ”Yesterday you said you want compensation from me for causing you to fall ill. Tell me, how do you plan on doing that?”
A Miao scratched her face. ”Didn't you get me a doctor? Forget it. I won't blame you anymore!”
”Oh.” Shen Xinglan settled down on the sofa in a bold manner. ”Then it's my turn to seek compensation from you.”
”What?” A Miao's mouth fell open. She watched as the man turned on his phone and placed it on the table.
”Take a look.”
He was showing her a video of two lumps of snow-white flesh hugging each other. A Miao took only one glance of it before turning her head away.
”Why are you showing me this?”
Shen Xinglan retrieved his phone. ”The man in this video is Xia Fan. The woman…” He stared attentively at A Miao. Without makeup, her eyes caused his heart to jump a little.
”What does it have to do with me?” A Miao glared hatefully at him.
”Of course it has something to do with you. That's because this woman is you.”
At the same time, chaos gripped the Xia family.
”How did you manage to lose a living person?”
Xia Yongqiang sat in the living room with a straight face. A Miao had gone missing from the banquet last night and to make things worse. Bai Youran actually concealed this from them and only told them earlier.
”You didn't even know that she didn't come back?” Xia Yongqiang asked Xia Wan unhappily.
Xia Wan was full of grievances as she replied, ”I… I thought she returned home long ago.” She herself was full of anger as well! Shen Xinglan did not say much to her last night and even disappeared shortly after.
”Grandfather, don't be so quick to panic. I think A Miao probably went back to her old home.” Xia Wan glanced at Bai Youran. ”I'll go take a look with Youran.”
Xia Haixin also tried to persuade Xia Yongqiang. ”That's right, Dad. She won't dare to run around.”
Just as they were speaking, Bai Youran's phone rang. He had received a video file.
”What is it?” After clicking open the video, his expression changed.
Xia Wan immediately went up to take a look after seeing the shock on his face but Bai Youran immediately clicked away from the video.
”It's nothing important, nothing at all. Don't look.”
”What is it?” Xia Yongqiang knew something was wrong the moment he saw this exchange. He pointed at Bai Youran and said, ”Bring it to me.”
Bai Youran hemmed and hawed for some time before handing Xia Yongqiang his phone. ”Grandfather Xia, you better not look.”
”Open it.” Xia Yongqiang was firm.
”Okay. It's just a vulgar video.” Bai Youran turned on his phone.
Xia Wan did not dare to go up to them anymore after hearing the words ”vulgar”. She saw Xia Haixin also lowering his head and frantically asking, ”Dad, what exactly is it?”
”Preposterous!” Xia Yongqiang suddenly slammed his hand on the table. ”Where's Xia Fan? Tell him to come home this instant!”
Xia Haixin shook his head at Xia Wan and took out his phone to call Xia Fan.
”Why is it so noisy here?” Over at the entrance, Xia Fan pushed the door open and entered.
”You still dare to come back!” Xia Yongqiang lifted his crutch. ”Come over now.”
Xia Fan's gaze swept his surroundings. He finally grinned and said, ”Grandfather, what's wrong? I don't think I did anything that can make you this mad!”
”Then what is this?” Xia Yongqiang threw the phone in front of Xia Fan. ”Don't tell me that the man in the video isn't you!”
”Video?” Xia Fan's face swiftly changed and he frantically picked up the phone. His face immediately paled after watching several seconds of the video. ”Grand… Grandfather, listen to me. I didn't do this on purpose.”
His face was full of panic. ”Someone entrapped me. I didn't know that woman was A Miao at all.”
”What did you say?!”
Several of them spoke at the same time and among them, Xia Wan was the one most worried. She walked toward Xia Fan and looked at him with a face full of disbelief. ”Who did you say the woman in the video is?”
