“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” She Qi quite liked Ruan Xiaoxiao. He patted her little face and took a cigarette from the bedside table. He lit one and put it in his mouth.
“My birthday is in five days.” Ruan Xiaoxiao laid in She Qi’s arms and smiled. “Do you want to give me a gift?”
“What do you want?” She Qi asked. “As long as I can afford it, I will give you anything.”
“Seriously?”
“Why would I lie to you?” She Qi looked down at her. “Just tell me what you want.”
Ruan Xiaoxiao’s eyes darted around. She looked at him and said, “Chi Jiao and I have the same birthday. I don’t want Chi Jiao to overshadow me.”
She had been humiliated at Chi Jiao’s art exhibition.
She had to win this time and humiliate her.
“Why must you fight with Chi Jiao? You’re not her match,” She Qi said with a faint smile.
His last sentence was a direct strike to her heart.
The smile on Ruan Xiaoxiao’s face stiffened for a moment. She reached out her small fists and gently hammered his chest. “She and I are born enemies. We have to fight.”
She and Chi Jiao were destined to fight to the death.
“Tell me, are you going to help me?” Ruan Xiaoxiao looked at him coquettishly.
She Qi took a deep drag of his cigarette before blowing smoke out of his mouth.
“I’ll bring you to meet someone tomorrow. You have to fight for the opportunity yourself,” She Qi said slowly.
Ruan Xiaoxiao knew that She Qi knew many important people. Her eyes lit up and she asked impatiently, “Who is it?”
“You’ll know when we meet.” She Qi reached out and pinched her butt. “This person will be very useful to my future plans. When the time comes, you have to establish a good relationship with him in any way you can. Do you understand?”
Ruan Xiaoxiao understood She Qi’s hint and her heart sank. Nevertheless, she nodded obediently.
As long as she could climb up and step on Chi Jiao.
If that could happen, she was willing to sacrifice her body and her so-called dignity.
She only hoped that in this life, she would be the one to win.
…
Two days later, in White City.
Chi Jiao and Quan Jue arrived home at night.
Auntie Zhou didn’t know what Chi Jiao and Quan Jue were doing and thought that they went on a holiday.
Seeing that they had lost weight, Auntie Zhou’s heart ached.
“Didn’t you two go on a holiday? Why do you look so thin now?” Auntie Zhou couldn’t help asking.
Chi Jiao and Quan Jue looked at each other. Quan Jue smiled and said to Auntie Zhou, “Maybe it’s because we exercised so much this time.”
Auntie Zhou felt that his words made sense, but she also felt that something was amiss.
“Auntie Zhou, where’s my father?” Chi Jiao hung her jacket on the clothes rack as she asked.
During those few days in Feng Tong Village, there was no signal on her phone. She didn’t know how worried her father would be.
“He’s handling some matters in the study upstairs. Miss, shall I call him for you?” Auntie Zhou asked.
“No need. Brother Quan and I will go upstairs to find him,” Chi Jiao said with a smile.
“Alright, you guys go ahead then. I’ll make supper for you all..” Auntie Zhou said with a gentle smile.
