Because of Ji Cun Xi's sudden invasion when they are about to kiss, Xia Sha doesn't dare to look at the others. Her cheek almost had the same color as the monkey butt.
Even though Ji Cun Xi had apologized and mentioned that he is only joking around, Xia Sha was still embarrassed.
In contrast, Guan Xian acted like he had no shame at all.
"What's wrong with kissing my girlfriend? It's not a sin! It is not my fault no girl wanted to be your girlfriend, don't blame me for your lacking!'
He wears that kind of attitude that makes Ji Cun Xi sick- Ji Cun Xi said it himself. Guan Xian's ability to make other people anger was amusing. Xia Sha gelt her thorny attitude could not compare to him.
In the end, Guan Xian and Ji Cun Xi taunted each other like a kid. Xia Sha felt confused in the beginning. But then Jian Jun and Wang Kai calmly showed her how to deal with them.
"Ignore them," Jian Jun's insight had helped Xia Sha went through her day.
It was until the 'fake' Zheng Shuang appear everyone turned to their normal states. Xia Sha forget her embarassement. Ji Cun Xi and Guan Xian stop bickering. Wang Kai and Jiang Jun put aside all of their feuds.
Ren Wu escorted the young woman to the other room. She looks furious and keeps trying to break loose from Ren Wu.
"Can I go?" Xia Sha looked at Guan Xian quietly, breaking the silence among them.
Guan Xian raised his eyebrow but nodded his head lightly. Xia Sha smiled at him and stood up from her seat. Guan Xian and the rest watched her walked inside the room where the young woman confidently.
A thick two-way mirror becomes their separator. Xia Sha looked at her reflection in the mirror and clenched her hand. She moves the frowning young woman. Her hearts boil.
She remembers the first words Ruan Jing Tian said when he picked her up from the prison. The reason why she got wary for Zheng Shuang and anxiously wanted to move out from her place.
"They erased all the CCTV recording outside your grandfather's ward that day, but Xiao Zhan managed to hack into the internal storage. As you expected, grandfather Xiao won't directly be involved in the scheme, but there is some possibility. We found out Zheng Shuang has come to the hospital the first day your grandfather got admitted to the hospital. She talked to the nursed for five minutes before leaving. That nurse is a friend of your grandfather's nurse. Everything correlates with each other."
Xia Sha felt someone threw a big stone on her heart when she heard Ruan Jing Tian's remark. She froze to Ruan Jing Tian's apartment, unable to accept the fact that her best friend, Zheng Shuang, might have harmed her grandfather.
But then she watched the snow falling outside Ruan Jing Tian's mustang. She remembers the first snow with Guan Xian. Those sweet memories with him slowly calmed her heart and somehow become a consolation to her bitter soul.
That is when she remembers that her grandfather got admitted to the hospital on the very same day. That day she went to the GW mall with Zheng Shuang. Zheng Shuang was with her around the time when the other Zheng Shuang went to the hospital.
It doesn't make any sense for her at that time. But she immediately finds the answer when she saw this impersonator outside Zheng Shuang's apartment.
"You can leave us alone now," Xia Sha said to Ren Wu as she keeps her eye on Zheng Shuang's copy.
Guan Xian and the other wear the same cold-blooded killer face when Ren Wu pulls the blindfold around the impersonator's eyes across the mirror. They watched intensely, waiting to get impressed by Xia Sha.
The young woman sat straight. She showed no fear in her eyes when it meets Xia Sha's icy eyes.
"Open her duct tape," Guan Xian ordered Ren Wu, who enter the room. Ren Wu turned back without hesitation. However, the five of them hear a piercing sound of something ripe.
The man in the observing room was surprised. Xia Sha has pulled the duck tape that covers the impersonator's lips in one swift movement.
"Rough and decisive, that is so my girl," Guan Xian's chest expands. He looked like a proud rooster. The rest instantly give him a dirty glace.
"Puah!" The young woman made a little shriek when the duct tape tore some of the dead skin on her lips. She let out her tongue and wipe her lower lips. Her lips slowly stretched into a wide smile despite the pain she felt.
"Well, Well, Well, Isn't this the great queen bee of Imperial High School? I finally met you again. What an honor," She titled her head and looked at Xia Sha with a mockery on her eyes.
"Sorry, you changed your face too much. I could not recognize you," Xia Sha answered flatly.
The young woman's smile froze. Her hand subconsciously wanted to touch her cheek, but the tight handcuff prevented her move. Restricted, the young woman could only look up to Xia Sha slowly.
"What a shame. I've been waiting to meet you since the day we parted. I should have known a highly Queen Bee like you would not remember a pleasant like me. It's a harsh world," she faked a sad face and sighed deeply.
It doesn't take a genius now to guess that this girl might be one of the girls Xia Sha offended in the past. Xia Sha almost raised her eyebrow and narrowed her gaze. But they quickly recover and put back her calm facade.
"It's a harsh world indeed. I had lots of important matters to take care of, but I'm stuck in this room with you. As you said, it's your honor this time."
Xia Sha admitted, she isn't bright and charming socially. Some had thought she bullied other peer. While the other thought, she had a princess syndrome.
People had already mistaken her for her cold and arrogant face. But when Shen Xia Fei and Xia Qi Feng got a divorce, she might have taken things to an extreme level. Or not.
She is not proud of her past. She also knew -now- that she should make her parent divorce as excused to permit her bad behavior in the past. She is up to apologize to the people she hurt. But she could not stay still watching her grandfather and friends get hurt because of her.
Anyway, if this girl is one of her victims, she should show some reaction to Xia Sha's rude and arrogant manners. Just like trauma, Xia Sha thinks it's the best way to provoke this young woman.
And she was right. The smile on the young woman's face froze the moment she heard her answer. Her eyebrow slowly furrowed as her jaw clenched.
"You are still as arrogant as ever. Don't you learn something from your messy life?"
"Messy? I don't think my life is a mess. I think it's kind of wonderful now," Xia Sha answer lightly, walking to the corner where the chair was stacked. She pulled one, dragging it on the white, reflecting ground.
"Hah, Imagine having the face of saying this after you almost killed your grandfather. I wonder, does your parent ever regretted giving birth to a brat like you?"
Xia Sha stops her heels when the young woman sneers at her. She placed the chair a leg distance from the impersonator and sat there calmly. Unaffected by her provocation.
"No, I don't think so," she smiled at the young woman.
She made the young woman speechless and threw the observer in the other room under the bus.
"Hah, you don't think so, but I think so! You lose your virginity at eighteen. Then you run away from the house with your college boyfriend afterward. Humiliated your father by establishing a rivalry company. Got played and run back to your dear father like a brat you are. After accepting and tolerate you, you could not even return the favor for your family."
The young woman clicked her tongue as if Xia Sha is an impossible case. She stares at Xia Sha wickedly as she brings her body inwardly toward her direction.
"Your grandfather wanted you to marry Xiao Zhan, but you once again disappointed them by putting your ego first. Ckckck, what a pitiful old man, the grief and disappointment his granddaughter made almost sent him to heaven."
The young woman raised her right eyebrow at Xia Sha, waiting for her response. This time Xia Sha did not hold her hand back. She calmly stood up and caused a clear slap sound to echo throughout the empty room.
"Don't worry. I'll send you to heaven next."

"Hah, Imagine having the face of saying this after you almost killed your grandfather. I wonder, does your parent ever regretted giving birth to a brat like you?"
"No, I don't think so."
"!!!"
"..."
"asdfghjkl!"
"Guan Xian! Look at what you've done to Xia Sha!" Ji Cun Xi shook his head in disbelief.
"She is a fast learner," Wang Kai nodded his head in approval.
"Hm, Guan Xian's shamelessness could infect other human beings.. I shall prevent Guan Xian from meeting people when I become the mayor," Jian Jun take a mental note.
