Chapter 103 Zhou Xiao Didnst Return (1/2)
”Don't look at me like that. I know that Bai Lu is not with you. I'm not a fool!” Zhou Xiao saw A Miao's dark face staring at her, not caring and said.
A Miao endured the urge to throw her out and asked, ”Then you still came?”
”What does this have to do with whether I come or not?” Zhou Xiao gave her a tilted glace. ”She just took me in. Besides, if you didn't take me, why wouldn't you let others take me in?”
She interrupted A Miao, who was about to open her mouth, and then said, ”Look at you. I have only seen this skirt in magazines. And the diamond necklace around your neck, is it worth tens of millions?”
”Do you have to say that?” A Miao looked at her indifferently. ”You can go to my place and take whatever you want.”
Zhou Xiao let out a cold cry. ”Take what I want? Are you giving me charity? That's good. Have your fiancee introduce me to a good man, so I'll mix with you in the future.”
”Xiaoxiao, how did you get like this...” A Miao trembled, thinking of the private text message on her cell phone, and looking at her present attitude, she felt like a hole was being poked inside of her heart, making her feel pained.
”And what about you?” Zhou Xiao said with a straight face. ”Why don't you say what kind of person you've become? You have become a wealthy housewife, but my mother and I work so hard to sell steamed buns every day. You know so many rich people, but you don't introduce any of them to me!”
Zhou Xiao spoke more and more excitedly, waving her hands in midair. ”We are friends who grew up as children; is that how you treat friends? As the saying goes, once a man gets to the top, all his friends and relations get there with him. But what about you? Have you ever helped me?”
”Even to attend this wedding banquet, I have to follow others. Open your eyes and see what you are wearing, and then look at mine!”
Zhou Xiao tugged at her skirt. ”I borrowed all of it! Even the jewelry is fake.”
Her voice was so loud, the people around them had noticed there. And not far away, Shen Xinglan came up frowning.
”Are you all right?” He hugged A Miao while taking a look at her.
A Miao shook her head. ”It's nothing.”
”What can she do?” Zhou Xiao looked at Shen Xinglan with a jealous face. ”Mr. Shen is so kind to A Miao that her friend looks envious.”
Shen Xinglan gave her a cold look. ”Here is five million. Don't say that you are a friend of A Miao. She doesn't have a friend like you.”
”What do you mean?” Quickly, Zhou Xiao's face changed. ”A Miao, will you let him insult me?”
A Miao sighed. ”I'll send someone to take you home.”
”For what?” Zhou Xiao looked at her with hatred. ”Well, from now on, we are not friends. I will treat you as if I never knew you. My mother has raised an ungrateful person.”
She shook off A Miao's hand and looked at Shen Xinglan again. ”Remember to put the money onto my card.”
”Zhou Xiao...” A Miao saw her turn to leave and could not help letting out a cry.
Shen Xinglan looked at her quietly. A Miao raised her head and smiled. ”Is this what people often say about sharing trials and tribulations but not riches and honor...”
”Fool, she didn't share any trials and tribulations with you.” Shen Xinglan took her hand and said, ”Go, go in.”
This was a five-star hotel. The banquet hall was romantic and luxurious. A Miao saw Bai Youran and Xia Wan standing to welcome guests in the distance.
”Don't look at her.” Shen Xinglan helped her pull out a chair. ”You'll look much more beautiful in your wedding dress than she does!”
A Miao was amused by his words. ”As if you have seen it. By the way, should we stay for dinner?”
”Can you eat?” Shen Xinglan lifted his eyebrows. ”We'll leave when the ceremony starts.”
Moreover, Xia Yongqiang was going to put on a play today. How could he not cooperate?
”Old Xia, you have a wonderful granddaughter!” A few people over there kept complimenting Xia Yongqiang. Indeed, soon someone asked, ”I heard that Director Shen is here today. Will we be able to drink at another wedding banquet again soon?”
Xia Yongqiang smiled and pointed to the other side. ”I also want to know. Excuse me for a moment, I'll say hello!”
He walked over to Shen Xinglan and A Miao's table. Just now, those people did not go far and listened behind them secretly.
”Xinglan, why don't you announce it today?” Xia Yongqiang asked in an inquiring tone, but now this occasion was clearly pushing him to make an announcement.
Shen Xinglan stood up slowly. ”I am anxious too, but A Miao has to wait until graduation to answer me.”
”A Miao, be sensible.” Xia Yongqiang looked at A Miao warily. ”It's okay to get married after graduation, but you can do the engagement party first.”
A Miao looked at Shen Xinglan and smiled. ”It depends on his performance. If he performs well, I will agree to get engaged!”
”Nonsense!” Xia Yongqiang just wanted to lift his head and reprimand her, and he immediately heard Shen Xinglan say,
”Well, you can wait.” As he said this, he took A Miao's hand. ”Master Xia, I'm sorry, we have to go a bit early.”
With that, they went out hand in hand. Xia Yongqiang wanted to stop them. He was also prepared to let A Miao go up and interact with Xia Wan, so that everyone outside knew that A Miao had no conflict with the Xia family.
But others began to cause a commotion. ”Oh, unexpectedly, Director Shen always be so considerate to women!”
”Old Xia, you are really blessed. Your granddaughters are marrying so well that the Xias will be great in the future!”
Of course, there were also those who saw and understood, looking from afar with disdain at Xia Yongqiang.
By this time, A Miao had been pulled to the side of the car by Shen Xinglan. And when the car door was opened, there were a bunch of white lilies inside.
”Did you empty the flower shop?” A Miao exclaimed, covering her mouth.
