"Older Sis! My mother only had one child. Miss, why would you call anyone you meet 'older sister'?"Ye Qian's arm was around Miao Xiaobei, and she was leaning against him. She had a look of disgust in her eyes and a hint of mockery in the corner of her lips.Miao Wanwan's face suddenly darkened. She could only force herself to remain calm with so many people around.Murong Ling stared at her leaning flirtatiously in the man's arms with intense eyes.He stood where he was for a long time before he came back to his senses. He walked up to Miao Wanwan and took her into his arms."She just looks like your older sister. Your older sister is dead."As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Miao Xiaobei's face.When he saw her reaction, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Then, he brushed past her and walked into the hotel.Miao Xiaobei clasped her hands tightly together.His voice was as ruthless and harsh as ever.She had always warned herself that she must remain steady. He
"Explanation?" Miao Xiaobei turned and looked at him. She had a derisive smile on her face."You should ask your wife what she did."She did not give him a chance to respond. She strode straight out of the stairwell and went to the elevator.It was not until the elevator began to move up that she slid down against the wall, sat on the floor, and cried out loud.She was so hopeless.That night, Murong Ling did not return home. He went straight to a bar.He was half-convinced of what she had said, including her words in the past.Suddenly, he had no idea who he should believe.When he had learned that she had passed away, he realized belatedly that he had feelings for her.Today, he saw her right in front of him, with another man standing beside her.At that moment, he had been completely overwhelmed by jealousy.He wanted so much to drag her back home and teach her a lesson, so that she would know who her man really was.After the function, he had gone to the hotel in a hurr
Miao Xiaobei sat down with a chuckle, and she played along with her obvious lie."Maybe I made a mistake then. Sorry, ever since I fell off a cliff three years ago, my eyesight hasn't been so good. Just the day before yesterday, I saw your sister in the afternoon with a man," she said, as she massaged the corner of her eyes gently."Oh, is that so," Li Xin said.Miao Wanwan looked at her smiling face from her seat across the table. She understood what her sister was trying to imply.She should have made sure that she was dead before she pushed her off the cliff. Then she would not be sitting here now."Older Sis, I hear that you have been spending time with a man since you returned. Does Ling know?"She redirected the topic of their conversation back to Xiaobei. She also wanted to find out who the man was.Li Xin glanced at her in mild surprise. Miao Xiaobei had been alone when she saw her that night.Miao Xiaobei gave them both a bland stare."It seems that my younger sister
Li Xin felt her entire body shudder. She had never seen this side of her before."Miao Wanwan, I wanted to play along with you. But your words are too repulsive."Miao Xiaobei stood up, pulled her chair back, and rolled up her sleeves. A chill was rising in her eyes.Miao Wanwan thought that she was leaving, so she got ready to stand, too. Just as she was about to, she felt a stinging slap.Another slap followed closely on her other cheek, before she had even recovered from the shock of the first.She dropped down on the floor in complete astonishment.Li Xin squatted down and shouted, "Miao Xiaobei, you are crazy!""Oh, I forgot about you."She shook out her arms, walked around the table, and kicked Li Xin into a sprawl on the restaurant floor.A long thin stiletto heel pressed down on Li Xin's head, preventing her from making the slightest move.Li Xin cried out in great pain.Miao Xiaobei crouched down and grasped Miao Wanwan's chin tightly with milky-white fingers. Two m
"Any later and you'd have not only gotten disfigured. You might also have broken an arm or leg," Xiaobei piped in.Miao Wanwan shook all over at her words. She wept for a bit more, and then she withdrew from Murong Ling's arms.She stood with one arm still firmly locked around Murong Ling's waist, tears glistening prettily on her face. She said, "Older Sis, I came here to apologize to you. I didn't think that you had so much hatred towards me. I promise you, from now on, I will no longer see Ling again. Can you not be angry anymore, Older Sis?""Promise that she won't see Murong Ling anymore?""Apologize?""It's f*cking ridiculous."Murong Ling drew Miao Wanwan securely back into his arms.He stared intensely at Miao Xiaobei with narrowed eyes. His entire demeanor was frosty."I'm not interested in your man, and it's not hatred I feel towards you.""It's disgust."She gave the pair of them a cold, sweeping look, grabbed her phone from the table, and marched off."Stop. Who s
"Ouch... It hurts." Her face scrunched up in pain."Now you know the pain. What have you done? Miao Xiaobei, you're dumb enough to choose the stupidest way to deal with your enemy. Attacking the enemy and sacrificing yourself in the process is the best way to describe your current situation." Ye Qian grumbled, but his movements were very gentle.Enduring the pain, Miao Xiaobei gingerly touched her forehead."He was right, but should she really be friendly to someone who had tried to kill her?""Ye Qian, can you be gentler?" she complained."If you want to be able to eat tonight, shut up."Sometimes, Ye Qian felt that he owed her, when the reality was the other way around.She was probably the only person in this world with the guts to act like this in his presence.However, he was content to be on the receiving end of her attitude, and simultaneously, he fancied more of her attention....Murong Ling and Miao Wanwan headed for the hospital. On their way there, her sobbing nev
The words were foreign to him as he had never enjoyed the warmth of a family.Murong Ling's heart clenched tightly, and he did not dare to look his son in the eye.He had neither showed affection nor fulfilled his responsibilities as a father since his son's birth.He had dumped all of his hatred for the little fellow's mother on him. The agony in his heart became too unbearable, and he fled."Dad... Is he really my dad?" muttered the little fellow to himself as he watched the disappearing figure.The servant finished washing the fruit and left the house. The Little Master was alone, staring longingly at the door with reddened eyes.The car outside the door had vanished as well."Ah." She sighed softly and brought the fruits over."Little Master, let's go back and eat some fruit. We'll read your storybook again tonight, alright?" She half knelt on the ground, coaxing him gently.She felt sorry for this sensible child. She could not comprehend why Master Murong had not brought
Upon hearing the news about the three of them, a few workers gathered in excitement and discussed their speculations.In just an hour or so, the rumors had spread like wildfire all over the company, and they came in different versions.Miao Xiaobei was completely unaware of the situation.For three consecutive days, she had descended into serious work mode and had busied herself with the Fengteng Company collaboration project.She had been working overtime almost every night, even on Sunday, thus losing track of time completely.She only paused and shifted her attention away from her work when the secretary knocked on the door. Leaning back on her office chair, she massaged her brow.The intensity of her workload had worn her out."Come in.""President, Fengteng Group has announced to the media that Murong Group won the bid. A contract has already been signed."The secretary was caught off guard by Murong Group's haste."What?" Miao Xiaobei was appalled. Her fingers tapped aw
