Xia Sha has a pleasant journey, although she felt used by Ruan Jing Tian. She has sacrificed her energy to drive for him, but he keeps accidentally move or torture his hand. If he is not stupid, then he mostly faked the injury!
"Things that I did for you, girls. Three of you must have accumulated a thousand of good karma to have a good friend like me in your past life," Ruan Jing Tian's self promotes his kindness for a dozen times.
Xia Sha rolled her eyes. She wanted to oppose his proclaims. However, the more Xia Sha tried to find an example to deny him, the more stunned Xia Sha became.
As far as her memories recall about Ruan Jing Tian, he offers more help than she could remember. Every time she need help with something, Ruan Jing Tian's name probably popped up first in her mind.
Swallowing her means words, she glances at Ruan Jing Tian with a curious gaze.
"Ruan Jing Tian, tracing back to our school days. I don't remember how you join our group. Why did you cling yourself to us?"
"Because I like you," Ruan Jing Tian answer almost instantly with an indifferent tone. Xia Sha's heart stops pumping for a second. Her lips flenched as she steals a glance at Ruan Jing Tian from the rearview mirror.
"Do you believe that I will kill you right now? Answer me properly!" Xia Sha scold the man in the backseat. A mischievous smiles bloom on his face.
"I'm not kidding. Back then, you are beautiful and smart. Along with Guan Xiao Ni, you have always been a goddess in every man's heart."
"What do you mean back then? I'm still beautiful and smart!" Xia Sha said in a disbelief tone. A frown appears on her delicate face.
Ruan Jing Tian moved his upper body forward to the little gap on the front seat. He rubbed his chin with his left hand and thoughtfully observed Xia Sha's face.
"Hmm, you look fine. From a distance."
"..."
God, she forgot why he always fought with Zheng Shuang :)
"I'm going to kill you once we arrived. You, get well prepared," Xia Sha warned Ruan Jing Tian with her cold voice.
But he is not Ruan Jing Tian if he gave up to provoke Xia Sha for a mere little threat. Defying the death, he mischievously poked on Xia Sha's cheek and said, "Back then, you have beautiful skin, now you look like an old aunty. Sigh, Who told you to frown and got angry so easily?"
"RUAN JING TIAN!" Xia Sha shouted his name and tried to smack his injured hand.
Ruan Jing Tian dodges her attack in a swift motion. A burst of satisfied, loud laughter filled the car.
"See! You were angry almost all the time~ No wonder you got more wrinkle than you should have!"
"RUAN JING TIANNNNNN!" Xia Sha screams. She is so annoyed that she couldn't hit Ruan Jing Tian, this irritating man in the backseat! She regrets offering help!
"BAHAHAHA, Xia Sha, did you also acted like this with Guan Xian?" Ruan Jing Tian suddenly asked after wiping the hot tears in the corner of his eyes.
Xia Sha snorted and scoffed.
"You two have the same tendencies of irritating me! I could die of anger with people like you two!"
"Oh, but he makes you happy, didn't he?" Ruan Jing Tian tried to grin widely, but his face turn paralyzed when he imagines Guan Xian and Xia Sha laughing together.
Xia Sha pressed her lips and went silent for a moment before she smiles, "He did."
"I'm glad you were," Ruan Jing Tian's soft replies turn into a song in Xia Sha's ear.
"Just pray he wouldn't cheat," he suddenly put on a stoic face, hidden flames ignite behind his eyes. Xia Sha sees Ruan Jing Tian getting all protective, she laughed.
"Don't worry. As long as Guan Xian still wished for a descendant, he won't dare to cheat."
"???"
This time Ruan Jing Tian couldn't help but feel fear and pain in his little buddy. Uncle Ben is right. With great power comes great responsibility.
Xia Sha: "?"

Lives after revenge haven't been well for Meng Ran.
Because she broke her limb, she has to stay in the hospital for several days. Because she has no money or connection, she has to settle for an ordinary ward.
She gritted her teeth every day because she needs to shares a room with five other people.
She tried to call Ling Guang for help. After all, she becomes like this to help him and aunty Ling. But Ling Guang disappears like thin an air, no news, no voice.
After wasting a lot of time in bed doing nothing, she finally realizes that she has run out of luck. Ling Guang has abandoned her, and she has failed to climb into Guan Xian's branch.
The only card left in her hand is Xia Xiang, her dearest friend.
It's a relief that she has planned to use this girl for a long time ago. She introduces and provides her with an addictive drug. Xia Xiang has no other choice but to depend on her.
Finally, after waiting for quite some time, Xia Xiang has appeared before her eyes.
Look how obedient a creation she has made!
"Xia Xiang! You finally come. I'm so lonely here. I think Ling Guang has abandoned me," Meng Ran said with her delicate voice. Everyone that hears her complaints felt a slight heartache for her.
"He abandoned you? I thought you abandoned him first for young master Guan. Are you sure you want to use abandoned?" Xia Xiang raised her eyebrow.
Meng Ran secretly rolled her eyes when Xia Xiang isn't looking. She felt nausea watching her hypocritical face.
"What do you mean? I approached Young Master Guan to help you. Have you misunderstood me for something?" Meng Ran pouted.
"Ho! Cut it already. I don't come here to hear your pretentious words. I heard it all from Xiao Xing," Xia Xiang smirked, looking at Meng Ran as if she is a joke.
"You tried to outdo Xia Sha, but what a pity, Guan Xian has chosen his beauty," Xia Xiang jeered.
Xia Xiang never denied that she wanted to have a man like Guan Xian. That is why she become super jealous and attacked Xia Sha the other day. He is the prince charming that comes straight out from a fairy-tale book. Who can't resist him?
But she also grateful that Guan Xian didn't fall for this pretentious b*tch. It's so satisfying to watch Meng Ran lose the color on her face.
"Xia Xiang did you just-" Meng Ran still smiles, but not like any other day. It was a confused smile she showed to Xia Xiang. She failed to hide her cold glance.
"You always call her a b*tch," Meng Ran added.
"Xia Sha is a b*tch, but at least, she wasn't pretentious. Meanwhile you! I've given you Brother Ling, a way out from your old pitiful, shabby life, and you still thinking of betraying me."
Xia Xiang let out a cold laugh and looked at Meng Ran as if she is a fool.
"How shameless can you be? Everybody now knew you are a green tea b*tch, how is that?"
Meng Ran's fist now clenched, her knuckle went white to surpass the anger on her system. Her face started to change. The previous panicked expression has changed into a gentle smile.
"Xia Xiang, what do you mean? I don't understand any of your words. Even though we are best friends, my heart will still hurt if you spat out a joke like that. What will you do if I become your enemy? Your privilege as Xia Qi Feng's adoptive daughter will- puff. Disappear," Meng Ran titled her face, glancing at Xia Xiang coldly.
"Hah, even though I'm not Xia Qi Feng's real daughter, my mother is his wife. I have a secure seat in society. I'm not you. You are nothing in this world."
Xia Xiang has attacked back, but it didn't change Meng Ran's calm face at all. Instead, Meng Ran chuckled and looked at her as if Xia Xiang is a poor case.
"Might be true, I don't have a wicked mother like you. You can have that little seat in the corner. I wouldn't mind," Meng Ran smirked.
"That is not up to you to decided," Xia Xiang furrowed her eyebrow. Meng Ran word has agitated her. Clearly, her position is higher than Meng Ran's. How dare is Meng Ran acting all high in front of her?
"Oh, you got it wrong. It's up to me to decide your seat in the future," Meng Ran didn't hide her arrogance as she looked at Xia Xiang from her hospital bed.
Xia Xiang opens her mouth. Her eyes filled with anger and hatred for Meng Ran. But Meng Ran cut her off before she could say a word.
"If people find out that the adoptive daughter of Xia Qi Feng has consumed drugs for more than three years, can you save that pitiful seat of yours?"
Xia Xiang's mouth shut completely. Her arrogance evaporated, leaving a pale, helpless young lady who ruined her life because she finds the wrong friend.
Do not be misled.. Bad company corrupts good character.
