After hearing this, Xia Yongqiang’s face turned ugly indeed. Xia Wan hid her sarcastic eyes and said regretfully, “Grandpa, I’ll talk to A Miao later when I have the chance. Now I have to go and accompany Youran.”

“Don’t worry about it. Go to the Bai family.” Xia Yongqiang quickly regained his mood. On today’s occasion, he could not lose face in front of outsiders.

A Miao pushed Shen Xinglan toward the rest area. Originally, she wanted to stand at the side, but Shen Xinglan could not bear to let her get tired. Anyway, he was unable to move today and did not have to deal with those people.

“Is it really not necessary to push you around to say hello?” A Miao asked him uncertainly.

Shen Xinglan looked around at the venue coldly. “No, they will come naturally later.”

Indeed as expected, someone came up to talk after a short time. With the first, there would then be the second. These people were all old foxes in the business circles. They knew that Shen Xinglan was not feeling well. No one stayed to show off in an ostentatious manner, and they all left after being seen.

“See the woman next to Director Shen? She’s beautiful.”

“I don’t know whether she had the cosmetic surgery or it was like the newspaper said…”

“Tut! Don’t be silly, she must have the cosmetic surgery.”

Many people in the meeting room were secretly discussing A Miao. The more one woman listened, the uglier her face became. Finally, she took a glass of champagne from the waiter and walked toward Shen Xinglan.

“Long time no see. You have completely changed.”

A Miao had already caught sight of Ji Xue. She looked at her resentful face with indifference while tilting her head. “It wasn’t long. It was only two months.”

Ji Xue snorted coldly and looked at Shen Xinglan. “Do you really like her? Or it is just for those eyes?”

“None of your business.” Shen Xinglan looked at her with a straight face. “Last time I warned you not to provoke A Miao or you will not be sent abroad next time.”

“It was you!” Ji Xue stared at Shen Xinglan with a face full of resentment. “You hurt me.”

A Miao suddenly began to accuse her. “If you didn’t hurt someone first, why would someone hurt you?”

“Shut up!” Ji Xue took two steps forward. It looked like she wanted to hit them.

Shen Xinglan stared at her. “If you want me to kick you to death, come here.”

“You…” Ji Xue bit her lips and ground her teeth and unwillingly asked, “Why? For this woman?”

“She is my fiancee and my woman.” Shen Xinglan raised his eyebrows. “Besides, my A Miao said correctly, did I make you come to the party? Did I make you undress?”

Ji Xue covered her ears and shook her head. “Stop talking!”

“If you don’t want to hear it, you shouldn’t appear in front of us.” Shen Xinglan said coldly, “Remember what I said: next time, it will not be as simple as going abroad.”

Looking at Ji Xue’s stumbling departure, A Miao always felt something was wrong.

“What do you think?” Shen Xinglan thought she was scared when she suddenly became expressionless. “Don’t worry, I’ll send someone to keep an eye on her when she returns home. Even if she really wants to do something, she won’t be able to hide it from me.”

A Miao scowled. “Don’t you think her attitude is a little strange?”

“Who cares what her attitude is?” Shen Xinglan said with a face of coldness and did not look carefully at Ji Xue.

“By the way, not only her, but also Bai Lu has returned.”

A Miao opened her mouth. Shen Xinglan knew what she wanted to ask and then explained, “Ji Xue has been with Bai Lu since she went abroad.”

“Is this a collusion…” A Miao sighed in some distress and glared at Shen Xinglan again. “It’s all your fault!”

Shen Xinglan took her hand. “I know that these things have wronged you. Give me some time to solve them. But you need to promise not to contact these people in private and not to give them a chance to hurt you.”

A Miao curled her lip, wanting to say that if somebody else really wanted to do something, you also could not prevent it, then she heard Shen Xinglan say a sentence.

“Don’t let yourself have an accident, because I will feel distressed if you have any accident.”

“I know…” A Miao tilted her head, embarrassed to look at him.

Shen Xinglan tugged at her hand. “Go and get something to eat.”

A Miao turned to see another person coming. Presumably, there was something important to talk about, so she nodded and went to the table next to her to eat.

“Don’t go too far.” Shen Xinglan immediately said, “Just right by my side, where I can see you.”

The words were very loud, and all the people around heard them. Several men who came to visit Shen Xinglan teased him with a smile. “Director Shen is always so considerate. I don’t know when you can invite us to drink the wedding wine!”

“No hurry, it will be soon.”

A Miao stood a few steps away from them and could not help laughing at their occasional jokes. She felt that this guy Shen Xinglan had no shame and could say anything.

“Do you think he really likes you?” Suddenly, someone reached out hands and took the cake she wanted to eat.

A Miao raised her head and, not surprisingly, saw Bai Lu.

“As long as my aunt is alive, you don’t want to marry into the Ji family.” Bai Lu was much calmer than Ji Xue, with vicious words in her mouth and a smile on her face.

Today, she was wearing a white, cut-out evening dress. With such a beautiful smile, the eyes of many men nearby her were swirling around.

Bai Lu obviously knew her charm and she smiled more and more charmingly. “You said, between the Ji Corp and yourself, which one would he choose?”

“No matter what he chooses, it won’t be you.” For those who had done harm to her, A Miao was never a soft persimmon. She immediately pricked the thorns up.

“Hmph, don’t think that I dare not touch you because of the Xia family!” Bai Lu scoffed. “I heard Xia Mei say you are not a member of the Xia family at all.”

A Miao smiled. “If you heard that from Xia Wan, I still think it’s quite like that. But you have fallen to deal with Xia Mei, tsk…”

Bai Lu looked pale. This entire circle knew that Xia Mei was all impulse and no brains; the common notable young ladies seldom associated with her. If it weren’t for Xia Wan’s sake, the girl could not even enter the circle.

“You don’t have to change the subject, I see how long you can be proud!” Bai Lu held up the cake, her eyes flashing, and flipped the plate toward A Miao over there.

However, before she could react, she saw the cake flying toward her and it smacked onto her chest.

“Ah!” Bai Lu screamed.

Shen Xinglan had arrived at A Miao’s side and she winked at him.

“Lulu, what’s wrong with you?” Bai Youran and Xia Wan came and said.

The chocolate cake on Bai Lu’s chest looked like an unknown object. The chocolate sauce on the surface flowed down her cleavage. It was especially conspicuous and disgusting on the white skirt.

“Who did this?” Bai Youran obviously had seen A Miao and deliberately shot her a glare and asked.

Xia Wan covered her smile and said with a worried face. “A Miao certainly didn’t mean it. Relax, don’t worry, let me ask about it!”

“A Miao, speak quickly! What the hell is going on?”

A Miao looked in amusement at Xia Wan. “That is strange. What do you mean that I didn’t mean it, what do you want me to say?”

“Wait for me!” Bai Lu mercilessly shot her a glare, turned around, and went to the bathroom first.

She would have liked to stay and challenge her, but the cake had quickly melted…

“Director Shen, even though we shouldn’t get involved in the girls’ affairs, A Miao bullied Lulu in public. You must give us an explanation, right?”

Bai Youran’s eyes stopped for a few seconds on A Miao’s face, only to find out that she had really become beautiful.

“With which eye did you see A Miao bully her?” Shen Xinglan was sitting in the wheelchair with his chin slightly lifted and an imposing manner directed at Bai Youran.

“Isn’t it… just clearly enough?” Bai Youran, frightened by Shen Xinglan, reacted after angrily staring at him.

Xia Wan scolded Bai Youran in her heart that this man was no match for Shen Xinglan. At the thought of this, she resented A Miao again. “How could she become a woman with Shen Xinglan, but she must be with a loser?”

“A Miao, Lulu is my sister-in-law, and we are a family by any means.” Xia Wan pulled Bai Youran and opened her mouth to exhort her. “It doesn’t matter if your little girls have a contradictory. Just apologize and it will be over, ok?”

All the people present nodded in succession. As a result, A Miao said without hesitation, “No!”

The people around them started whispering. Some said that A Miao was unappreciative; others said that she ignored the face of the Xia family. Most people said that she was so arrogant because of Shen Xinglan. In short, everyone was waiting to see the drama.

“I don’t know what’s going on at all, why should I apologize?” A Miao was still smiling. “What does her knocking over the cake have to do with me?”

Xia Wan was anxious on the surface, but she laughed in her heart. “Haha, you’d better not admit it, I’ll see how you end up making things bigger, then Shen Xinglan will think you lose face, hmph!”

“What nonsense are you talking with your eyes open?” Bai Lu, who had changed her clothes, came in a hurry, pointing at A Miao’s nose and cursing. “Just when I didn’t hold the plate firmly, you took the opportunity to raise your hand and flip the plate upside down, and the cake fell on me!”

Shen Xinglan, who had not spoken the entire time, said flatly, “Are you sure? Let’s see the monitoring.”

“Good!” Bai Lu nodded with confidence. “Let everyone see what qualities your woman has.”

Xia Wan put on an affectation of persuasion. “Oh, it’s not a big thing, do we have to make it so ugly?”

“Don’t try to persuade her, Wanwan. She wouldn’t appreciate your kindness.” Bai Youran pulled Xia Wan’s hand and turned to the waiter.

He whispered a few words in the waiter’s ear, then looked at Shen Xinglan and A Miao and asked, “Does Director Shen mind playing the video on the big screen?”

“It doesn’t matter.” Shen Xinglan did not look at that proud face of Bai Youran, but twisted his head to make someone move a chair for A Miao.

So, when the big screen began to play, all the people around were standing while Shen Xinglan and A Miao sat in the middle. The two also looked at each other and smiled at each other from time to time.

This made many women present unable to help from being jealous, and at the same time, they were all gloating and waiting to see A Miao make a fool of herself.

“Director Shen should concentrate on it in case you can’t see it clearly.” Bai Youran was not in a good mood, but unfortunately, everyone ignored him.

On the big screen in the middle of the banquet hall, A Miao was sitting alone at the table. Then Bai Lu came along. After the two of them spoke a few words, they saw that the plate in Bai Lu’s hand suddenly flipped over.

“Hmph!” Seeing this, the brother and sister of the Bai family both showed smug smiles, but the next second they could not laugh.
