647 I Stole I (2/2)

”Huh?”

Nora shook her a little, ”I'm asking whether are those girls our friends or foes?”

”The hostility in their eyes said otherwise,” retorted Nora plainly. ”Anyways, if you say so, I'll believe it. But... if any of them do or say anything, you come to me. I'll deal with them.”

Xiu shook her head saying, ”Nora, my dear Dora, I can handle on my own. You focus on making your relationship better with your future sister-in-law.”

Nora smirked slyly, ”Hon, don't you think I can deal with a couple of Qiu Meihui's easily? I'm Nora Cartwright. I don't need to flatter anyone just to make my life easier.”

”Why are you getting so worked up even before trying to make peace?”

”Because she seemed to not like you. And whoever doesn't like my sister doesn't deserve my good side.”

Xiu smacked her head and walked away. She didn't have a way to explain to Nora that even though she didn't know anyone as Bai Xiu, she indeed was acquainted with those girls. However, she was confused about what she did to cause displeasure to Qiu Meihui?

She could understand why both Zhou Liqiu or Liu Nuan would not like her. After all, her name was enough to bring some hostility. But what did she do to Qiu Meihui? She hardly even knows her personally.

But then she mentally shrugged, reminding herself that she couldn't please everyone. Even if she did something to cause trouble to Qiu Meihui, she wasn't gonna go back to apologize. If you have a problem, keep it. It can't possibly hurt her in any way.

Xiu came back and sat down beside Darren at their table. ”Why did you come back so early?” he asked. When Xiu didn't reply, he placed his hand on her shoulder. Xiu looked at him inquisitively. ”Where are you lost?”

”I was just wondering... Dylan is so cute, why is his sister so not cute?”

Darren frowned at her words, ”Did Sister Meihui say anything to you?”

Xiu shook her head saying, ”No, she didn't. I'm just questioning her choice of friends but then again, I have no right to do so. I'll just shut up and sit back now.”

Darren could tell that she wasn't saying what really was in her heart. Probably because she didn't think it was the occasion for that. But it was obvious that she wasn't looking very happy right now.

Suddenly a chocolate bar dangled before her eyes and she looked up to see Nora grinning at her. ”I got this especially for you. It is the perfect cure for bitterness.”

Xiu chuckled at her and took the chocolate bar asking, ”Where did you get it?”

Nora looked around before replying in a low voice, ”I stole it from Jackie.”

Xiu hit her arm with the same chocolate bar but had no plans of giving it back to her. She really felt like eating something and this chocolate bar was really the perfect remedy for her.
