Xia Sha did not know what happens when she passed out. When she woke up, she found herself lying in her old bedroom. Her room is clean, but she could not spot a slight change in her room.
It put her in a slightly better mood.
The first thing she did when she woke up is searching for her phone in her skirt pocket. She opens Guan Xian's contact and sends him a message.
XS: Situation clear.
XS: Come in five minutes.
Only when she locks her phone and sees her reflection through the black screen, she remember what Xia Xiang has done.
"That crazy bitch," she mumbles while running to the mirror and check her wound. She looked at the poor pretty face in the mirror and sighed.
Her left cheek has a print of a hand. There are stretches all over her neck and hand. Below her red sweater, Xia Xiang left a red patch on her stomach. And more importantly, her lips somehow bleed.
"She is surely an elephant," she gritted her teeth while holding the pain.
No matter how good the outcome, hurting herself like this is not worth the gain. Xia Sha takes some notes to bring a bodyguard next time she wanted to irritate Xia Xiang.
After cursing Xia Xiang for a while, she got tired and return to her bed. She checks for the second time and finds Guan Xian has answered her message. A wicked smile appears on her face.
Daredevil: Report to 1004. Copy that *wink*
Daredevil: Driveway away.
XS: Wait, let me spice things up downstairs.
With a message from Guan Xian, she jumped out of her bed. Groan when she felt the pain in her stomach and practically run to downstairs.
Only when Xia Qi Feng glace at her on the stairway, she slowed her pace.
"I put you to rest. Why did you go downstairs?" Xia Qi Feng sounds worried. It's also shown through his action where he picked up Xia Sha and helped her sit on the sofa.
"I come to spend time with you. I could sleep all day in Shen's residence," she sounds nonchalant, but her sentence has softened Xia Qi Feng's heart.
Xia Qi Feng looks at Xia Sha's usually impeccable face and got stressed when he a big handprint on her cheek. Once again, his anger rose.
Pang Ze Tian has lowered her face the whole time. She dare not even to sit on the couch. Next to her is Xia Xiang, who is biting her lips not to let her sob escape from her mouth.
When Xia Qi Feng turned her body toward them, their body jolted. Xia Sha raised her eyebrow then quickly relaxed her muscle. Damn, it's hurt. She can't even show a sarcastic smile.
It's a loss! Truly a loss. Guan Xiao Ni would joke out of her if she saw her beaten to blue by Xia Xiang like this.
Sigh- what a shame she needs to stack her beautiful face like this. She did not felt happy even when she sees pair of shameless mother and daughter in this state.
But thinking of what she planned with her Clyde, she needs to endure. She needs to be patient~
"Xia Xiang, look at what you've done to your sister!" Xia Qi Feng said coldly, glaring at Xia Xiang with an unfriendly gaze.
"Not my sister," Xia Sha answered almost instantly.
She keep telling her mind to endure, but when Xia Qi Feng wanted to associate Xia Xiang as her step-sister, she could not help herself. Perhaps because she is too engrossed, or it's always been that way on her mind, those words come out naturally.
Because of that, she also received a glare from Xia Qi Feng. She pouted, and Xia Qi Feng sighed.
"Xia Xiang, do you have anything to say to Xia Sha?" Xia Qi Feng calmed himself and tried to be a good father for both of her daughters.
Xia Sha raised her head to checked the clock. She passed out for three hours. Xia Qi Feng must be tired of shouting for hours that he appears calmer now.
Hmm, Xia Qi Feng has turned old. He has lost his vigor. His anger usually lasted for five hours. Well, it might be because he does have some father affection for Xia Xiang, or these two green tea b*tch had twisted some facts when she passed out.
Xia Xiang wipe her tears away. Her legs are trembling as she rubs her foot together, creating nervous and pitiful images. Xia Sha rolled her eyes and waited for her to open her mouth.
"Sis- Xia Sha, I'm sorry for losing my temper. It's because I cannot stand you keep degrading my mother. Yesterday you ripped her shirt and pushed her to the ground. She got injured. Before she healed, you've come and humiliated her again. I- I- hisk," She began to sobbed and covered her face with her hand.
Pang Ze Tian went along with her acting, pulling her into a hug and patted her back.
"It's okay. Mommy is okay. However, You shouldn't do that to Xia Sha. She is your father's daughter. Even though she did not want to acknowledges us, it doesn't mean you can hurt her like that."
"..."
Well played these two idiots. Xia Qi Feng began to look at Xia Sha with cryptic helplessness. Inside her imagination, she has mouthed b*tch to their back.
Endure, Endure. Xia Sha told herself that she needs to endure to see a better ending.
"Well, of course, I accepted your apologies, although you've almost disfigured me. Harm me. Kill me even,"
Xia Sha did not hesitate to remind Xia Qi Feng that she almost got killed. She deliberately stretched her neck to show the stretches all over her neck as evidence.
"Your mother knew I don't like her but still coming to my birthday. No one invites her, so I don't think I need to welcome her into my private party with my BIOLOGICAL mother and father. But she persisted, so I chased her away."
Pang Ze Tian gnashed her teeth. When did she ever persist? She clearly only said two words that night. She only said 'You' and "Xia Sha!'
She humiliated and chased her away before she even does anything!
The little monster -as known as Xia Sha- is faking her sadness right now. She looks at her father sorrowly.
"I apologize to aunty and Xia Xiang for not wanting an outsider on my private birthday party. But what can I do? It's private," She pouted her lips to Xia Qi Feng.
Xia Qi Feng's heart got tender all over again. He hoped for Xia Sha to be tough and accepted the situation. But he always gets guilty when it comes to celebrating Xia Sha's birthday.
He threw a lavish party and bought everything Xia Sha wanted on her special day. But he never granted her the biggest wish since he divorces Shen Xia Fei.
He could not bring himself to face the pain and loss every time he sees Shen Xia Fei. Thus he turns deaf and blind to Xia Sha's request to invite Shen Xia Fei. Even over a simple dinner.
This year, however, a young fellow has convinced his heart to prepared his precious daughter's birthday with Shen Xia Fei. His words, although he knew it's filled with sweet nothing, but have deeply changed his mind.
But he can imagine the chaos if Pang Ze Tian comes that night. Shen Xia Fei will leave, and Xia Sha will be angry at him again. He would also felt unhappy.
It's been a long time since he could be civil with Xia Sha again. He has come to the point where she visits him on Christmas. He did not want his daughter to hate him again.
Clearing his throat, he decided to make this matter clear for everyone.
"Pang Ze Tian, if Xia Sha should apologize, then maybe I should also apologize. I initiated the dinner, and it's really private to celebrate Xia Sha's dinner. I think it's only fair since she also never attended your or Xia Xiang's birthday."
"..."
Pang Ze Tian could not say anything to reply. So she could only play the considerate wife and nod her head weakly. Xia Sha secretly scoffed and changed the point.
"Anyway, I did not come here to humiliate your mother. I come here in peace to have spent Christmas day with my father. But considering I'm the one with a bigger heart and forgive you,"
Xia Xiang and Pang Ze Tian, even Xia Qi Feng could not believe their ears. What did she just say? forgive?
Starring at Xia Sha's smile and grin, the three of them, and all the maid that know Xia Sha before losing their words.
Forgive? Xia Sha never forgives, for the fact that she accepted to forgives means she NEED to forgive because she has something planned.
Xia Xiang's heart raced as she observed Xia Sha's every micro expression. She needs to be prepared before this b*tch attack her again. This time she has made big mistakes and lose her innocent reputation in Xia Qi Feng's eyes.
She did not want to make another mistake and got threw out of this amazing manor. At least, not until she finds a better one.

Flash stories
Xia Qi Feng is surprised when Guan Xian secretly comes to his office and ask for his time. What makes him went speechless is he suddenly beg him to prepare for Xia Sha's birthday.
"Uncle, you don't have to do anything. I've reserved the place and everything. You only need to attend. Please."
"But, me and Xia Sha's mother is not in a good place. She won't agree to this."
"Don't worry. I will also beg Aunty to come."
"Sigh. Guan Xian, I don't think this is possible. I-"
"Uncle, Even though you've lost your most precious, but there is one left on your side. Please, love and take care of her like you will do if you could rewind the time. That's a way you won't have regrets in your old days. After all, Xia Sha is the living evidence of your love for her..."
Xia Qi Feng ponders for a long time before,
"Okay, Let me make the restaurant reservation."
