He had played his part as instructed, but why were they going back on their word?

“Mrs. Sheng, are you not satisfied with the contract? Well, we can always talk about it. How about we give you a premium of an extra 5%?” He raised a hand reluctantly.

Seeing his reaction, An Xiaxia forced a smile.

There was nothing unwilling in his tone at all and he was only too eager to jump on board with the Song Group.

Her reaction only made Mr. Xu even more flustered. Rubbing his hands together, he said, “Mrs. Sheng, how about this? We don’t have to make any profit! All we ask for is an opportunity to work with you...”

“I was only joking,” said An Xiaxia indifferently. Only then did Mr. Xu let out a breath of relief.

He left with a hand to his chest. An Xiaxia’s eyelashes quivered when she turned to Sheng Yize. “Sheng Yize... you must find it so easy to deceive me.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Sheng Yize’s face darkened. Of course he could tell that An Xiaxia had done it on purpose!

“Xiaxia...”

“What?” An Xiaxia struggled to keep the smile on her face. “Are you having fun? Playing me like a fool?”

His temples throbbed. Sheng Yize sighed. “I can explain.”

“Fine. Explain away.” An Xiaxia stared at him with unblinking eyes.

Sheng Yize clutched his phone in his pocket.

On it was the latest update from Grandma Sheng.

Pepsi had been crying in pain for two hours.

He was her father. Of course it was torture for him to know that she was suffering.

It was also because he knew how painful this experience was that he didn’t want An Xiaxia to go through it.

But the dummy simply had to get to the bottom of everything!

“You said you’re foolish and I’m not going to deny it.” Sheng Yize kept his face impassive. “There’s nothing to say. Xiaxia, I’m sending you abroad.”

An Xiaxia opened her eyes in shock. “What did you just say?”

“I’m sending you abroad,” Sheng Yize repeated. “Kill time, go shopping, meet new friends — do whatever you want.”

An Xiaxia clenched her fists. Was he getting rid of her now?

“Why...” she couldn’t help but ask.

“Can’t you tell?” Sheng Yize couldn’t even be bothered to lift his eyelids. “We’re quarreling. Since our disagreement can’t be resolved, it’s better that we separate for a few days to cool our heads.”

An Xiaxia thought her head was going to explode.

That was outrageous!

“You bastard! Sweet talking me when you’re happy and sending me away when you’re pissed? What am I to you? A pet? Sheng Yize, I’m telling you: send me away and I’m never coming back!” Vexed, An Xiaxia blurted out the harshest words she could think of.

Sheng Yize regretted it immediately and almost wanted to tell her the truth. However, An Xiaxia had thrown off his hand and charged out of the banquet.

Fearing that she might run into an accident in that state, Sheng Yize followed her out in a hurry.

An Xiaxia walked out of the entrance when a car stopped in front of her. The window was rolled down and she saw that the person behind the wheel was Meng Xingzhou.

“Xiaxia?” He arched his eyebrows, looking surprised. “What’s wrong?”

An Xiaxia opened the back door. “Please give me a ride!”

She regretted it the moment she got in.

Lan Yu was in the backseat.

However, she was so angry that she didn’t want to speak to Sheng Yize at all.

Meng Xingzhou hesitated a little when he saw Sheng Yize running out after An Xiaxia.

Lan Yu spoke at that moment. “I think they’ve had a quarrel. It’s better to keep them apart for a while to let them cool their heads.”

Meng Xingzhou found that reasonable. He hit the gas pedal and the car bolted out.

Sheng Yize was speechless. I’m your own nephew, ok?!

In the backseat, Lan Yu lowered her voice, her tone bewitching. “Do you think... he’s deliberately keeping the kids away from you?”
