Even though Wang Hong Wei had a farewell party for Gu Minlan at the time of her leave, he didn't forget to take money from Gu Minlan.
As the saying went, money is one matter and relationship is another and you couldn't mix-up both!
Therefore, Wang Hong Wei went as per the above saying and took every single penny from Gu Minlan.
Side by side, Gu Minlan was also wondering who this girl was and why Wang Hong Wei gave her such special treatment where not only, she gets the best manager of this company, Yue Wanwan at the earlier stage of her career but also Sky Imperial would pay her fifty million dollars to abandon her?
However, no one from Wang Family would tell anyone what Lee Xuiye's relationship with them was!
Therefore, Lee Xuiye also was not worried about dealing with them.
"Since you can't control me so you better not try it!" Lee Xuiye said and then she turned around and went inside the party.
"Lee Xuiye, I am sorry! Wanwan told me to take care of you, but...I…" Xia Xiulan didn't know what to say as it was the first time she had shown weakness in front of anyone. Luckily, that anyone was Lee Xuiye of whom, Xia Xiulan had trusted that the latter wouldn't take advantage of her.
"No! You don't have to say sorry because Yue Wanwan had reversed our duty!"
"What do you mean?"
"It means now I have to take care of you!" Lee Xuiye proudly said as she was seemingly happy to receive the role of being a mother to take care of her child and what was more, the child was her goddess, Xia Xiulan. How could Lee Xuiye not fulfill her duty?
Xia Xiulan saw that Yue Wanwan had said something to Lee Xuiye before leaving. So it must be what Lee Xuiye was saying. There was nothing hidden from Yue Wanwan, she knew that Xia Xiulan would feel vulnerable after seeing Mo Qiwn.
Xia Xiulan had a bitter smile on her face as if she was mocking herself.
"Sister Xiulan, are you alright?"
"Huh?"
Xia Xiulan was in her thoughts that she didn't notice what Lee Xuiye was saying.
"Sister Xiulan, are you alright?" Lee Xuiye asked again concernedly "If not, we can leave now!"
"Hmm...I am alright. Let's just stay for a few more minutes and then leave!" Xia Xiulan said as she was feeling exhausted in just a matter of a few minutes.
"Okay! Let's go and sit there!" Lee Xuiye was feeling strange about Xia Xiulan's reaction just now, but she didn't ask any questions because she understood that it must be related to Gu Minlan and her husband. Moreover, she didn't want to interfere in someone else's life when the latter was feeling uneasy about it and she had no intention to make Xia Xiulan feel uneasy.
----
While outside, Huan Ding's blood was boiling in a wave of anger and she wanted to lash out, but at that instant, Wang Yeyi stopped her!
"Mom...Don't…"
"Mom...you will create more problems then!"Wang Yeyi said and looked around, some artists were still looking at them strangely even Gu Minlan was staring at them. "Mom… don't worry! I will teach her a good lesson so that she won't be able to step in our company ever again and let's not talk out the fifty million…" Wang Yeyi said with a sinister smile on her face.
Wang Yeyi knew about what deed Wang Hui had done. Moreover, because of this, Wang Hui and Huan Ding were constantly fighting. Sometimes, she felt ashamed of her father who couldn't keep his pants on properly.
Huan Ding took a deep breath and decided to let her daughter handle this. "Okay then. I will count on you."
"Don't worry! You will get good morning news tomorrow!" Wang Yeyi said with a malicious look in her eyes.
Afterward, Wang Family went inside with Gu Minlan and her husband. Wang Family held a look that nothing had happened outside.
Everything went back to normal except for Xia Xiulan, who was sitting in the corner as if she wasn't herself despite the fact that she could have been the charming lady of this party, no matter if Gu Minlan was present or not.
Unfortunately, Xia Xiulan wasn't prepared to see Mo Qiwn and that it would be so soon after what had happened. All her memories were flashing back into her mind as if it had happened yesterday.
Xia Xiulan was not herself today!
Lee Xuiye was sitting beside her and now she couldn't take it anymore and moreover, everyone was looking at Xia Xiulan with their strange looks. Lee Xuiye was in a dilemma as she didn't know what to do to cheer up Xia Xiulan and chase away those strange looks.
At that time a waiter came with the glasses of red wine towards her. Lee Xuiye had read somewhere that Xia Xiulan liked red wine, so she took it and passed one glass to Xia Xiulan and one for her.
"Sister Xiulan, how was my performance today? Did you think I was able to give a hard time to the Wang Family?" Lee Xuiye decided to talk about other topics rather than staying depressed and the best way to cheer up someone was to talk badly about your enemy.
Sure enough, Xia Xiulan replied to her. "Yes, You did well. You shouldn't treat them nicely!"
"Yes, I will. In fact, I have to decide to be a pain in Huan Ding's ass! What do you say?"
"Good Idea, Lee Xuiye!"
"So come on! Let's cheer up to be a pain in the ass!" Lee Xuiye handed her a glass of wine.
Xia Xiulan took it and drank it in one go to ease the pain in her heart.
After seeing Xia Xiulan, Lee Xuiye completed her glass.
The waiter was satisfied and left when he saw that Lee Xuiye had completed the glass which he made for her.
Whereas Lee Xuiye didn't know that to make Xia Xiulan cheer-up, she had created a big problem for herself.
