Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

These few years, the Xiao family had not been as wealthy as before. It had already annoyed her enough. Her parents still did not think about how to spend their time on the company and kept pinning their hopes on these illusory things. They were really stupid.

The amulet remained quietly in the trash can, waiting for the nanny to dispose of it as rubbish tomorrow.

The next day, Xiao Ruoxuan woke up early. She had agreed to play golf with the Wang family’s young master, Wang Boran.

After dressing up carefully, she walked downstairs and saw her parents at the dining table. Xiao Lingbo knew about her plans and said with a smile, “Are you going out to play with Young Master Wang?”

Xiao Ruoxuan smiled shyly and said, “I’m just going to play golf.”

Xiao Lingbo was even more satisfied. Looking at his slender daughter, he said with pride, “Child, you should spend more time with your friends.”

Xiao Ruoxuan felt disdain for someone like her father who relied on his daughter, but she also enjoyed the feeling of those young masters sucking up to her. Over the past few years, it was because of them that the Xiao family had survived.

Xiao Ruoxuan pretended to be casual and said, “Young Master Wang said last time that he would leave the western suburbs case to our Xiao family.”

Xiao Lingbo’s face lit up as he said, “Really?”

Xiao Ruoxuan nodded arrogantly and said, “Someone should be going to our company to handle this in the next two days.”

Xiao Lingbo had already gone to the office excitedly to prepare for this.

Xiao Ruoxuan went out to meet Young Master Wang.

The chauffeur sent her to her destination and left. Young Master Wang would send her back anyway.

When Xiao Ruoxuan arrived, a group of people had already gathered at the golf course. They were all the top young masters and ladies of upper-class society. A few years ago, the Xiao family had also been a first-rate family. Unfortunately, the Xiao family had already declined to a third-rate family now.

Xiao Ruoxuan was stunned when she saw the people in the distance. Wang Boran had not told her that there would be so many people around.

When Wang Boran saw her, his eyes lit up. “Ruoxuan, over here.”

A warm smile appeared on Xiao Ruoxuan’s face. She was wearing a white dress as she walked towards them under the sun. This beautiful scene stunned all the young masters present.

Wang Jiaolan was displeased to see her brother’s infatuated look. She sneered, “So, it’s you who made us wait so long? How can someone who my brother is just playing with be so arrogant?”

Xiao Ruoxuan was still feeling smug that she had attracted the attention of these men. When she heard this, she felt a sense of humiliation in her heart. Were they comparing her to those prostitutes who played with them?

Xiao Ruoxuan did not retort directly. Instead, she smiled gently and said, “I’m sorry for making you guys wait.”

Then, she looked at Wang Boran with an aggrieved expression.

This gaze instantly made him want to protect her. He immediately pulled Wang Jiaolan and said, “Little Sister, you’re going overboard with your words.”

Wang Jiaolan was indignant. She wanted to say something but saw her brother’s gaze and shut her mouth.

Xiao Ruoxuan smiled and said, “It’s alright. I’ve indeed made you guys wait long. It’s all my fault today.”

These words made the young masters around her have a better impression of her.

After all, it was rare to see beautiful women with good tempers. Furthermore, although the Xiao family had fallen to a third-rate family, they were still a first-rate family in the past and were different from ordinary third-rate families.

Throughout the day, Xiao Ruoxuan blocked Wang Jiaolan’s repeated attempts to find trouble with her. Not only did Wang Jiaolan not gain any benefits, but she even made everyone think of her as a bossy person. Even her own brother did not help her.

Wang Jiaolan left with reddened eyes.

Xiao Ruoxuan said worriedly, “Boran, go and take a look. Don’t worry about me.”

Initially, Wang Boran was a little hesitant. However, when he heard this, he saw that she had her head lowered and was clearly disappointed. He immediately said, “It’s fine. Don’t worry about her. I’ll send you home.”

Xiao Ruoxuan smiled and nodded..
