Chapter 140 - Reminds Me Of Master Xiao's face

Xiao Shen jerked in panic and swallowed the next word that was at the tip of her tongue. She glared viciously at Yue Wan: 'It all this b*tch fault.'

Those gossiping fellows had their mouth closed in an instant.

Elder Xiao moved near the gauze and caressed it slowly...

The entire weaving work was increasingly smooth and the tiniest of details were embroidered perfectly.

When Elder Xiao touched the embroidery, it felt like silk satin.

"Incredible!!" Elder Xiao's loud shrill voice burst out in astonishment.

"Little Wan! Where did you find it?" Xiao Ran's hushed voice sounded near Yue Wan and she grasped her hand affectionately.

Being called out so affectionately by Xiao Ran made Yue Wan stagger for a second. However, she quickly composed herself and calmly replied: "I found it accidentally."

With a raised and curved brow, Elder Xiao, who was standing before Yue Wan, asked in a firm tone: "You know what this is!"

In a delicate voice, like silver bells, Yue Wan replied: "Yes. It's the lost treasure of the Xiao family, or to be more precise, this was embroidered by one of your ancestors."

Elder Xiao was flabbergasted by the young woman's reply. How could a mere sixteen-year girl know this secret?

With a proud glint in his eyes, Yue Xiang patted his sister's head and looked at the others with cold eyes. "This my sister, Yue Wan, the princess of our Yue family."

Xiao Ran pinched Yue Wan's tender cheek which was soft and fluffy.

Yue Wan gave a dimpled smile and said without formality: "Also, the tapestry reminds me of Master Xiao's face."

Elder Xiao could not help but to make a strange sound in his throat before bursting out, coughing violently! He coughed so hard that his entire body shook and his face turned red as he nearly fainted.

This brat mocking me that my face looks withered. Damn it!

Xiao Ran sweatdropped, Little Wan was getting even with her grandpa.

Elder Xiao's heart pinned with numerous questions but before he could inquire, Su Dingfeng stood before him with questions regarding the painting. The Xiao family members quickly started to praise and appreciate it so Elder Xiao missed his opportunity to interrogate Yue Wan any more.

--------With Xiao Shen-------

Xiao Shen flew into a jealous rage as she muttered: "This must be a fake one! She must be tricking us." 

Jing Zhe grabbed her mother's elbow and whispered: "Mom, we've already created enough problems to make grandpa detest us. Please stop!!"

Jing Zhe knew that her mother sometimes acts proud and arrogant with no brain.

Xiao Shen glared at Xiao Ran coldly and gritted her teeth, 'Need to eliminate her, soon.'

And then she looked at Yue Wan with jealousy and hatred in her eyes: "Find a way to get acquaintance with that little b*tch. She might come in handy. As for her brother, I have a plan."

Thinking about her man, Jing Zhe blushed. She bit her teeth and looked toward Yue Xiang: "Mom! He is a good person." 

Seeing her daughter's bashfulness, Xiao Shen smiled and said: "Let go home for now."

----------With Yue Wan-------

Yue Xiang and Ye Xian returned to the control room to check out something. As for Yue Yeager and Xiao Ran, they talked about the Xiao Entertainment project and its investments.

Seeing Yue Wan standing alone, a figure moved towards her.

"Young Miss Yue?" a voice like melting honey sounded before her.

Hearing that voice, Yue Wan's grasp tightened on Little Bao unknowingly. She tried to control her inner murderous rage as she lisped: "Yue Xue."

Standing before her was a small and delicate-featured, lemon-haired lady. She was strikingly attractive in that evening dress she wore.

In a low and chilling monotone voice, Yue Xue queried with a shock: "I am surprised that you remembered me."

Controlling her deep hatred inside, Yue Wan smoothly responded: "How could I forget you when you have created such an unforgettable memory in my life?"

Yue Xue's eyebrows wrinkled: "Unforgettable memory?"

With her lips curved into a grin, Yue Wan's gravelly voice insisted: "Yes, but don't worry I will make you remember it,"

Yue Wan narrowed her gaze, took a step closer to her and grasped her elbow tightly: "And then I will tear that mask off."

Yue Xue was stunned for a moment before giving a quizzical smile: "I don't know what you mean! I am just surprised that you found Xiao's lost treasure."

Yue Xue felt pain were Yue Wan touched, so she took a step back from her.

Yue Wan was not anxious and calmly stroked Little Bao: "It precisely because I know how to differentiate things and people."

Yue Xue smiled fakely as she said: "Will you tell me the dealer's name? I would like to see his collection for myself. Is he your acquaintance?" There was a little eagerness in her voice.

With a raised eyebrow, Yue Wan inquired: "When did I say that dealer was male." Her silvery voice drenched in uncertainty.

Yue Xue's eye widens for a fraction of a second before giving a forced smile: "Grandpa must be waiting. I will take my leave."

Looking at Yue Xue's retreating figure, Yue Wan recalled that in the past, the person who stole that ring and took credit for it from The Black Market was Yue Xue.

After her father's death, the First Elder took control of the Yue Family, so Yue Xue came to dwell in Yue Villa. What Yue Wan didn't expect was for her to steal that ring and use it to bring the tapestry to Elder Xiao to get on his good side. However, in this life, Yue Wan made the first step, preventing Yue Xue from benefiting from the Xiao family.

Yue Wan thought about the current situation. "So she knew about Xie Lingyun beforehand and found the ring accidentally which helped her to get in contact with him in the past."

The reason Yue Wan knew about the tapestry was due to Xiao Hua. After her marriage with him, she learned everything about the illegal businesses in City A and how to take over them. As the Mistress of the Xiao family, she learned a lot of tricks under Xiao Hua. 'As part of my past debt, I've presented this gift. After this, we are not bound together with anything, Xiao Hua.'

--------With First Elder Yue------

After returning from the Xiao party in the car, the First Elder ended his call with prominent lines between his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Mr. Shen would interfere with his plan. Those officers he organized to invade the party to arrest Yue Xiang was being detained by Mr.Shen.

"S**t, We lost the opportunity to strike him."

Yue Xue shook her head in disagreement. "Lu Meili simply wrecked my plan."

Yue Xue was hoping to use Lu Jia's death to oppose Yue Xiang while at the same time, using the Xiao family to utterly crush the Yue siblings.

The First Elder's face was serious as he asked: "Xue Xue! Didn't Lu Meili arrive under your orders?"

Gazing outside, Yue Xue's cold voice answered: "No!....."
