Liveliness ensued after a brief silence on the bus. It was the first day of school and they were on their way to the military camp, so it was natural for them to be curious if the military base was exactly as shown on TV.
Plugging in her earphones, Shen Xi listened to music and closed her eyes for a rest.
Following a two-hour journey, the vehicle came to a stop at the destination.
Shen Xi, Jiang Xuanxuan, and Ruan Xiaoxiao just hopped out of the bus when Zhang Lan came running their way. She must have been crying since her eyes were swollen.
Quick to approach Shen Xi, Zhang Lan frantically extended her arms to grab ahold of Shen Xi. She was caught between sobs. “Xixi, you have to help me.”
With a frown, Shen Xi laid bare the disgust in her eyes. Looking askance at her, she drew back and took off as if Zhang Lan was invisible.
Zhang Lan was a conniving shrew. She should be thankful that Shen Xi did not finish her off, and yet here Zhang Lan was, refusing to leave Shen Xi alone. What an eyesore.
“Xixi, if you don’t want to help, can you give me your brother’s number? I’ll look for your brother,” Zhang Lan angrily shouted while running over to stop her.
She could not get through to Mom and Dad’s mobile. Their phones seemed to be turned off. The hotel said they checked out of the room, but their flight was at ten o’clock tonight. It was unlikely she could not get in touch with them.
The only thing that came to mind was that something happened to Mom and Dad. Once on the bus, Zhang Lan desperately dialed the numbers and even called the cops. The police mentioned that she could report her parents missing after twenty-four hours.
“My brother has a girlfriend.” Shen Xi coldly swept a glance at Zhang Lan. Abruptly cutting the distance between them, Shen Xi spoke in hushed tones, “I’m warning you. Stay away from my brother or I’ll chop you into pieces and feed you to the sharks.”
Anyone would take it as a joke, but Zhang Lan could feel a chill down her spine. Teary-eyed, she gazed at Shen Xi. “Shen Xi, my mom and your mom are friends from college. Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell your mom?”
As expected, she knew she did not like Shen Xi for a reason. Shen Xi was such a wicked b*tch.
“Don’t give me that classmate bull cr*p. You lot knows well enough if there’s any relationship at all between them. Do you think I’m stupid not to catch on to your family’s true intention? My mom was only being nice not to argue with you. You better pretend not to know us if you have any sense left in you.” Shen Xi scoffed coldly before taking off.
This would be the last warning to Zhang Lan. Shen Xi had no time for this sort of people, but Yu Yuanxi was a different story. He would not stand by and do nothing if Zhang Lan sought his help.
“You…” Zhang Lan was taken back by the threat. With her blood boiling to the max, she yelled, “You’ve gone too far!”
Not only was the b*tch refusing to help, but she was threatening her too.
Just wait. Zhang Lan was going to look for Yu Yuanxi right now. The time would come for Shen Xi when Zhang Lan became Yu Yuanxi’s girlfriend and the lady of the Shen household.
“Good that you know that now.” Shen Xi wickedly curled her lips and took out her phone to call Yu Yuanxi. “Yuanxi, where are you?”
“Behind you.” Yu Yuanxi had been searching for her since getting off the bus. It was easy to spot her good looks and cold presence in the crowd.
Shen Xi turned around and gave him a bright smile. Keeping in mind that she was still engaged in a conversation, she turned up the volume. “Brother, do you know a person named Zhang Lan?”
Yu Yuanxi took notice of Zhang Lan crying her eyes out. With a gentle voice, he kept up with Shen Xi’s act. “No.”
Perhaps because he had seen more ill intent than kindness while growing up, Yu Yuanxi was a good judge of character. Mom’s classmate and her family were not worth his trust.
He had no desire to have any association whatsoever with the likes of her.
Zhang Lan widened her eyes in disbelief at Yu Yuanxi’s reply. “Yuanxi, I’m Zhang Lan. It’s me, Zhang Lan. We had lunch together earlier. Your mom told you to look after me. Did you forget?”
Without casting another glance, Yu Yuanxi carried Shen Xi’s backpack and tenderly uttered, “Let’s go.”
“Yuanxi, I can’t find my parents. I can’t get a hold of them. Can you help me, please?” Having lost it, Zhang Lan chased him and cried.
Her gut feeling was telling her that Yuan Xi was being cold because Shen Xi spoke ill of her to him.
He did not behave like this during lunch. Back at the dormitory, he was gentle and even smiled at her. Surely, he had fallen in love with her at first sight just as she did.
That was right!
Yuanxi was acting this way because of Shen Xi, the b*tch came in between them.
Zhang Lan’s cries drew a lot of attention toward her. They had no idea what was going on.
In fact, Zhang Lan’s looks complemented with makeup made her quite a beauty. A knight in shining armor was bound to follow when there was a damsel in distress, especially boys who wished to win the girl’s heart. A few boys of her class came running her way to ask what the matter was.
The boys in her pathway caused Zhang Lan to lose sight of her pursuing target. Furious, she ripped into the boys in her mind.
Zhang Lan was uncertain whether her parents got into an accident. Still, the emotional unrest within was too hard to ignore. She wanted to use this as an excuse to approach Yu Yuanxi and take their relationship one step further, but things took a wrong turn.
Shen Xi was relieved to shake Zhang Lan off their tail. “Yuanxi, don’t give her the time of day. These kinds of people get in your face and will cling to you. You won’t be able to get rid of them.”
Zhang Lan must think she was all that just because they met once and had lunch together.
“I know.” Yu Yuanxi did not take kindly to Zhang Lan. He asked Shen Xi, “What happened to her parents?”
Shen Xi shrugged. “I don’t know.”
Although she had an inkling, it needed further confirmation.
Yu Yuanxi acknowledged the reply and simply had no interest in the family.
Shen Xi returned to her accommodation after picking up her training uniform and military essentials before sending Kun Lun a text message.
[Shen Xi: What happened to Xiao Ran and her husband?]
[Kun Lun: Pig farm.]
[Shen Xi: Why?]
[Kun Lun: Didn’t they say I didn’t know how to treat customers like a king? So I put them on a pig farm to serve the king. They can eat whatever was fed to the pigs. They can wait on the pig kings on the farm, brushing their fur, bathing them, cleaning up their poop.]
[Shen Xi: Why did you leave Zhang Lan out of it?]
[Kun Lun: Should I ditch her there now? It’s nice that the whole family could be together.]
[Shen Xi: Yes.]
[Kun Lun: No problem, Ms. Shen.]
[Shen Xi: Make it quick.]
She would probably not see the end of Zhang Lan if the latter remained here. Shen Xi’s head was throbbing just thinking about Zhang Lan pestering her and Yuanxi. She might as well leave it to Kun Lun to take care of the issue all at once..
