Chapter 202—Xiao Mei Debuts (2/2)
Xia Mei became more complacent. She chested up and said, ”Of course, everyone will grow up, but you, my cousin, don't look so well!”
”Yeah, people have to grow up!” Xia Wan didn't mind her and said, ”I didn't expect you to become mistress-like. If you didn't talk to me, I definitely would have thought you were some home-wrecker.”
”How dare you!” Xia Mei's face changed.
Xia Wan pushed her away. ”Piss off. I don't have time for you.”
”Humph!” Xia Mei stamped her feet and sneered at the couple's back. ”I'll see how long you can laugh.”
Before the banquet was over, Xia Hailin invited Xiao Mei to go on the stage.
”I am very pleased to cooperate with President Xia. On behalf of the overseas Xiaos and the Jiang Family, I hope there are more opportunities to cooperate with people of City S.” She showed off openly her background without hiding her arrogant face.
The reporters popped out again and asked, ”Excuse me, Miss Xiao. I heard that your cousin is the wife of President Jiang. Since you are now holding the shares of Xia Group, does it mean that the Jiang and Xia Families will cooperate in the future?”
”Oh, I can't make decisions for my brother-in-law. You should ask him!”
She changed her words and stated that she couldn't decide right after the speech that she could speak for the Xiao and Jiang Families. It made A Miao hate this woman even more, and could not help but pinch the man beside her.
”Hungry?” Shen Xinglan was busy giving her soup.
It was not something from the banquet, but the pigeon matsutake soup that Song Baohua cooked and kept within an insulation pail before they came.
”Do you hear what she said?” A Miao felt guilty and found herself a bit cross the line.
Shen Xinglan pushed the bowl to her side and said, ”No, what do you care about her for?”
”It's not because I want to, but she is coming.” A Miao pointed.
Shen Xinglan turned and saw that the woman was already only five steps away. He turned his head back as if he didn't see her.
”It's not hot anymore. Drink it now in case it turns cold.”
A Miao picked up the spoon with a twist of her mouth. However, before she tasted it, she heard something.
”Xinglan! Long time no see.”
All the noises around suddenly went down, and then there was whispering. Everyone was waiting to see what would happen next.
”Have a piece of meat.” Shen Xinglan put a piece of pigeon meat in her spoon.
A Miao tried not to laugh. ”I don't want to. It's tasteless!”
”Just one piece, sweetie. You haven't had anything this evening.”
The sound of whispering obviously raised.
Xiao Mei's smile went weaker, yet her politeness still remained. She turned to A Miao, restoring relaxation in her eyes before speaking.
”Hello. I am Xinglan's classmate!”
A Miao felt that she was not as shameless as Shen Xinglan. She blinked and said, ”Miss Xiao, right? Who is this Xinglan you are talking about?”
Poof! Shen I standing behind her almost burst out laughing, and Little Demon shot him a glare.
”You are really good at joking, Miss A Miao. What do you think who is Xinglan?” Xiao Mei's smile turned cold. She was nothing but a bastard in the Xia family. How dare her to talk like this!
Shen Xinglan wiped A Miao's mouth and said, ”It is too rough here. Let's go home to have dinner.” He fiercely pushed the chair and stood up.
”Ah!” Too close to him, Xiao Mei didn't stand still and fell backward.
The people on the spot exploded with gasps. Xiao Mei reached out and wanted to catch Shen Xinglan. But he leaned over to pick up A Miao and left.
”Be careful!” Xiao Mei fell into an embrace.
Xia Fan helped her to stand up, and then immediately let go of her.
”Thank you.” Xiao Mei said with a bad tone and a more annoyed look.
”Miss Xiao.” Xia Fan smiled and said, ”I hope that my words will not make you angry. If I were you, I would never do this in public...”
Xiao Mei glanced at him. ”What do you mean?”
”It's not convenient to say here. Let's go to the lounge!” Xia Fan gestured as a gentleman to let her go first, which made Xiao Mei regained a bit of dignity. She nodded slightly, taking Xia Fan's arm and left.
Shen Xinglan carefully held A Miao into the car.
”Will she piss off?” A Miao sighed. ”Why bother?”
There would always be such people like her, who thought everyone should praise her and put her in the first place, like a sun hanging in the sky. Once people stopped turning around her, they became sinister and unreasonable.
”Disgusting.” Shen Xinglan was sullen, and if he didn't leave, he would have kicked that woman out.
A Miao asked, ”Why disgusting?”
Xiao Mei wore some perfume, and A Miao must admit that the perfume smelt very good...
”Weren't you sick at hearing her say my name?” Shen Xinglan blinked. ”Are you happy when someone calls me Xinglan?”
A Miao immediately changed her attitude and said, ”No! I couldn't wait to put the tablecloth into her mouth!”
