Chapter 150 A Good Friend Arrives (1/2)
”What, last night wasn't enough? You still want to have sex with her again?” Xia Wan spoke harshly and her expression showed that she was deeply hurt. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes and gently fell down.
Bai Youran became panic-stricken and hugged her. ”I don't know what's going on, I... I didn't touch her, did I?”
”If I had come a little later, you would be both of us.” Xia Wan cried and pushed him away. ”You can play with women, but you can't touch Xia Mei. If others know, what will they think of both our families?”
”I didn't!” Bai Youran clung to her. ”I hung up the phone, ready to go back, then Xia Mei said we should have a drink, and then...” He stared fiercely with widened eyes. ”Was... was it Xia Mei?”
Xia Mei did not fall asleep until morning, but she was awakened by a slap.
”Youran... elder brother Youran?” She covered her face in disbelief and stared at the face of the ferocious man.
Bai Youran grabbed her hair and dragged her to the ground. ”You bitch! Did you drug me?”
”I... I didn't.” Xia Mei broke free and made a detour behind the sofa.
But she saw Xia Wan with a mocking face looking at her.
”Wanwan, she's lying!” Bai Youran explained hurriedly, ”There must have been something wrong with that glass of wine, otherwise I wouldn't have forgotten.”
Xia Wan stared at him, and her eyes were not fierce at all. ”Of course I know. When I arrived, you were holding her and calling out my name.”
”God!” Bai Youran was relieved. ”I just said, how can I sleep with her?”
He turned to look at Xia Mei and his expression became ferocious. ”I thought you were still a little girl. Who knew you were a slut!”
”I am not!” Xia Mei cried and shouted, ”I just... just like you!”
Bai Youran stared down at her and quickly said in disgust, ”I am your brother-in-law! How could you let Wanwan down like this? Have you considered the consequences of our two families?”
”Xia Mei.” Xia Wan, who had remained silent, gave her a tearful look. ”Who did you offend? Do you know if I didn't come last night, those reporters would have come in?”
”Elder sister, I really don't know, I... I... Boo-hoo...” Xia Mei buried her face crying.
Bai Youran did not want to see her. He hugged Xia Wan close and asked, ”What should we do now?”
”We'll pack up and leave together.” Xia Wan sighed. ”Xia Mei, stop crying, go wash your face.”
In the afternoon, the top story on the Internet was a video recording of Xia Mei abusing A Miao in a hotel. At the same time, a newspaper published photos of Xia Wan, Bai Youran, and Xia Mei coming out of a hotel. The three people in the photo were happy and the following text was also in decent.
”You ran out last night and took Wanwan to accompany you. Fortunately, Youran was there. Otherwise, no one would know what the reporters have written!” Yao Lili glared at Xia Mei and scolded her. ”Behave and I'll send you away tomorrow.”
The Xia family was having dinner, and Bai Youran was also there. He and Xia Wan looked at each other and laughed. ”Mom, don't say that. Xia Mei was feeling bad, and we should have accompanied her.”
”How did those reporters show up near there?” Xia Yongqiang frowned and asked, feeling that things were not so simple.
”We don't know either.” Xia Wan shook her head. ”But it seems that they followed Xia Mei.”
Bai Youran gave Xia Mei a quiet stare. ”I was wondering with Wanwan if she had offended anyone before. Now it seems... I think it might be A Miao.”
”If it was, then Jiang Quanyu must be behind this.” Xia Haixin pondered. ”Dad, should we cooperate with Jiang?”
Xia Yongqiang put down his bowl. ”Of course, you don't know how powerful Jiang is abroad. Since they have returned to China for development, we must seize the opportunity.”
”But this matter...”
Xia Yongqiang raised his hand to interrupt him. ”Don't forget, besides Jiang Quanyu, there is also Shen Xinglan.”
”Does grandpa mean that Shen Xinglan did this?” Xia Wan could not believe it. ”But now everyone is saying that A Miao is Jiang Quanyu's girlfriend.”
”It doesn't matter who did it.” Xia Yongqiang wiped his pipe. ”Shen Xinglan and Jiang Quanyu are just starting out, but with deep pockets. In terms of connections, the Xia family is much stronger than them.”
Xia Haixin smiled. ”I understand what dad means. The current situation is that our cooperation with either of them would be a blow to the other. Therefore, even if neither Shen Xinglan nor Jiang Quanyu were happy about Xia Mei this time around, they would not have a falling-out with us.”
”Haha.” Xia Yongqiang nodded. ”Next week, at Jiang's auction, go to probe Jiang Quanyu, and if he intends to cooperate, hurry to set it up with him.”
He turned his head to look at Xia Wan again and said, ”You should go over there and invite A Miao to come back for dinner tomorrow. You should be polite, but you don't need to be too nice either, understand?”
Xia Wan thought for a while. ”Sure, I understand.”
They needed to let A Miao know that the Xia family had not abandoned her, at the same time, they also would let her understand that the Xia family could abandon her at any time...
”It seems as if I asked for that!” A Miao hung up the phone, feeling that the most dominant trait of the Xia family was self-righteousness.
Ling Lang sat opposite her, cutting up a steak, and said, ”They asked you to go back?”
”Could it be anything else?” A Miao took a sip of juice.
She made an appointment with Ling Lang to eat steak in this steak house, and now she was not in a good mood.
The phone rang again, and A Miao smiled at the number.
”Hey, Shishi!”
In the evening, A Miao paced back and forth inside the villa. As soon as the doorbell rang, she rushed to the door.
”A Miao!”
