âYoung miss, Miss Shu Xue is here. She said that she has something important to tell you.â
Ming Shu looked up from a pile of snacks. âWho?â
âMiss Shu Xue,â the servant repeated.
Shu Xue?
âI donât want to see her.â Ming Shu continued eating her snacks. She didnât have the time to see Shu Xue.
The servant left. After some time, he came in again.
âYoung miss, Miss Shu Xue says that youâll regret it if you donât see her.â
âItâs fine. I like regretting.â
â...â
The servant walked out again. Shu Xue waited outside and didnât want to leave.
When Yi Qiao came back, Shu Xue pulled him down and told him to relay her words to Ming Shu.
âYoung miss, Shu Xue...â
âOne never visits unless they need something. She must be up to no good.â
Yi Qiao was slightly serious. âMiss Shu Xue says that she knows the real cause of your parentâs death.â
Ming Shu looked up.
After some time, she said, âSee, I knew she was up to no good.â
â...â
This wasnât how a person normally reacted.
...
When Ming Shu walked out of the villa, it was sunset.
Shu Xue stood outside the villa. Her skinny frame made her seem lonely.
She didnât seem excited when she saw Ming Shu.
However, it was hard for her to change her personality in a short period of time. No matter how she tried to hide, she couldnât do it perfectly.
If you looked closely, you could still see the hatred in her eyes.
âShu Ran, I thought that you wouldnât come out.â
âThis proves that your thinking is not accurate.â Ming Shu smiled as she spoke.
She walked out of the metal gates and raised her eyebrows. âYou know how my parents died?â
Ming Shu went straight to the point.
Shu Xue almost didnât catch up with her.
She straightened her back. âIf you want to know, follow me.â
âAm I stupid?â Ming Shu stared at Shu Xue as though she was an idiot. âYou dug a hole for me. Why will I jump inside?â
âYou donât want to know?â Shu Xue sneered. Those were her parents.
So what if she knew it was a trap?
Ming Shu shrugged. She waved her hands.
Bodyguards appeared out of nowhere and surrounded Shu Xue.
â...â Shu Xue couldnât control her expression anymore. âWhat are you doing?â
Ming Shu smiled gently. âLittle cutie, Iâm bullying you because I have more people.â
Shu Xue: â...â
Shu Xue was just a young lady. She was no match for the tall, muscular bodyguards.
Ming Shu didnât need to lift a hand. Shu Xue was held up by the bodyguards.
Shu Xue was stunned.
This wasnât what she expected.
She thought that Ming Shu might be angry or suspicious, but she didnât know that she would capture her instantly.
This was different from the television shows!
âLittle cutie, you should watch fewer television shows,â Ming Shu said. âDo you think Iâm really rich and useless?â
Shu Xueâs eyes turned red.
Ming Shu continued, âNow, you should be willing to tell me how my parents died.â
âLet me go!â Shu Xue shouted.
âThatâs not possible. You need to tell me how my parents died.â
Shu Xue was restrained by two bodyguards. They gripped her tightly so she couldnât move.
Shu Xue answered, â...I donât know.â
Ming Shu clicked her tongue. âYou donât know? Why did you want to lure me out then?â
Shu Xueâs gaze was poisonous. She glared at Ming Shu and shouted, âHurry up and let me go!â
What a bitch!
I must destroy her!
All this belonged to me!
Ming Shu smiled before replying, âHow can I bear to let you go? Youâre so cute.â
Shu Xue was frightened. Goosebumps appeared on her body.
She didnât feel happy that Ming Shu said she was cute.
This was a crazy woman!
Shu Xue forced herself to calm down. âIf you dare to do anything to me, Mister Guan wonât forgive you.â
âMister Guan... is he the person supporting you?â Ming Shu thought for a moment. âIs he the man that fetched you from school last time?â
Shu Xue: â...â
Her expression exposed everything.
âHe is the one gunning for me.â Ming Shu took two bites of her snack to calm down. âHow scary.â
âLet me go!â
Ming Shu looked at her. âMister Guan asked you to lure me out?â
Shu Xue stopped talking.
Ming Shu had her ways to make Shu Xue talk.
However, Shu Xue didnât seem to know much.
Guan Shaoyu only asked her to bring Ming Shu somewhere.
Ming Shu thought for a moment and decided to go on this date.
If she didnât deal with him, he would scheme against her all the time.
She was irritated.
...
Hualalaâ
It started raining suddenly.
Water splattered down from the dark sky. The heavy rain blocked the view and people couldnât see too far ahead.
Ming Shu took an umbrella with her to an old factory in the suburbs.
She looked at the quiet building and walked inside.
The people hidden in the dark were confused for a moment. They didnât dare to reveal themselves as they were afraid of an ambush.
However, after looking around for a long time, they only saw Ming Shu.
Someone emerged from the shadows.
âStop!â
Light shone on the place she was standing.
âYou are the ones who invited me. Why did you ask me to stop?â
The other party walked toward her carefully. They checked if she had any weapons.
Then, they brought Ming Shu inside.
The sound of the rain was blocked by the walls.
Ming Shu followed the person. Occasionally, she saw muscular men guarding various doors.
She didnât understand why they preferred this kind of place.
Couldnât they find somewhere more comfortable?
How could a boss come to such a place? Wasnât he putting himself down?
It didnât suit his status.
âBoss, the person is here.â
The person in front stopped and bowed in a certain direction.
Ming Shu looked over.
There was a leather sofa in the factory. A man sat on the sofa.
This was Guan Shaoyu.
Ming Shu walked over. Someone stopped her.
Guan Shaoyu raised his hand slightly.
The person who stopped her backed away.
Ming Shu came to a stop in front of Guan Shaoyu.
Guan Shaoyu seemed extremely confident. âItâs hard to meet Miss Shu Ran.â
Ming Shu was calmer than Guan Shaoyu. âWell, Iâm not someone you can meet easily.â
Guan Shaoyu: ...
Any normal person wouldnât know how to reply.
Guan Shaoyu was stunned for a moment. He regained his senses quickly and laughed. âMiss Shu Ran is so humorous. If your parents were still around, theyâd be proud of you.â
Guan Shaoyu went directly to the topic.
He didnât hide his gaze, either. He stared intently at Ming Shu and watched her reaction.
Ming Shu smiled.
Guan Shaoyu saw her smile brightening. It was like a rainbow after a storm. It was enchanting.
Guan Shaoyu narrowed his eyes.
This wasnât what he expected.
Or rather, he never thought that this would be her reaction.
She didnât care about her parents?
