Chapter 249: Isn't That Xia Sha Over There?

The perk of being an overthinker is that Xia Sha had almost thought of every possibility of how her life would turn upside down. 

Now, she has always known that a heartbreak caused by Guan Xian had a big chance to crash her world down, but she never thought about leaked sex tapes before.

Why?

Because as long as she remembers, she never allows any short of camera activities or accident occurs. Not when she does not wear her decent power outfits and high heels.

However, Xia Sha still felt blood pressure on her neck after she heard Xiao Zhan's question. There's an intriguing fusion of rage and headache as the word haunted her mind, causing her to raise her tone when she probes a question to Xiao Zhan, "Who the hell is that girl? Are you sure she is talking about me?" 

"I did not see her face, but I'm sure she is talking to Mr.Liem that recently bought a start-up company," Xiao Zhan answers in a careful tone, realizing that Xia Sha and her fury could be unpredictable sometimes. 

"Are you sure there is not the slightest chance it could happen? I want to be sure. Don't get me wrong. I'm only telling you this because it could affect futuria's grand opening at the end of the month," Xiao Zhan added when Xia Sha suddenly went quiet. 

"I'm sure," Xia Sha answered instantly. 

Other than the embarrassing ballet video where she falls and cries, Xia Sha is pretty sure she had no skeleton hidden in the closet. 

"Then, I'll try to get my hand and find the woman. You should get rest. I'll contact you as soon as I find something," Xiao Zhan said before he ended the call. He sounds so determined that Xia Sha didn't have time to thank him in advance.

In normal circumstances, Xia Sha would not bother about the gossip until it caused any damage. But when Xia Sha witnessed the quick response Xiao Zhan had to the rumors, she suddenly felt she should not ignore this case. 

That irresponsible person that spread those life-ruining rumors might not be as influential as Xia Sha right now. But a weak with a dagger could still take a life.

Ignoring the blasting headache she had, Xia Sha got her phone and dialed someone from her contact book. Within a count of seconds, the call got connected to Mr.Liem, the so-called key witness. 

"Good Afternoon, Mr. Liem. It's Xia Sha from Xia Corporation."

"Xia Sha? I'm delighted to hear from you," The man sounds excited from the other side. 

A crooked smile appears on Xia Sha's face as she imagines Mr.Liem's face. Mr. Liem had a unique signature of smiling wide like a Cheshire cat minus the big eyes. He is notorious for his 'exciting' night adventure as and a lawsuit from his former secretary. 

"I heard you acquired a start-up company recently. I coincidentally had taken some interest in the same technology they had. Is there's a chance for future collaboration between our company?" Xia Sha added some fake, polite laugh at the end of her sentence, hiding the disgust she felt toward the man. 

"The lucky star finally decided to side with me. I'm honored for the opportunity you provided. But this tempting offer does not come free, does it?" 

"Well, if I could be direct with you-" Xia Sha hung her sentence.

"Of course, I would rather have a clean business transaction," he answered calmly. 

"I won't be courteous then. I might need a name from you, Mr.Liem."

Mr.Liem goes silent for a moment. He must've complemented the matters carefully. Xia Sha is the bride of Guan Xian and as well as COO from Xia Corporation. Since Mr.Liem got the upper hand, he carefully used his opportunity to the fullest. 

"Well, I'm surprised you need the name from me, Ms. Xia. But well, I'll see you this Tuesday with a contract. I hope we will have good cooperation." 

Mr. Liem ended the conversation sounding satisfied.

There's no way Guan Xian would let her work on Tuesday, and Fu Qun, the traitor, had sided with Guan Xian. Xia Sha feels she had no choice but to hide these matters for a while from Guan Xian. In the end, she took a deep breath before she texted the place and time to Mr. Liem's number.

Lunch meeting with Brian Lemiere.

Spend time with Xia Sha. 

Tang Yu Bin's frown is visible when Guan Xian tells him to press his workload into a half-day schedule. Less work for Guan Xian means more work to him. He has to reschedule the whole month and work overtime. 

Sure, it won't be easy for Guan Xian either. He is not working for half-day, but rather, he only pauses his work and continues working at night. However, when Tang Yu Bin sees the bright, foolish smile on Guan Xian's face once he signs the reviewed report, the sympathy he had for him vapored. 

Serve him right for being a love slave. 

"Tang Yu Bin, do I have another schedule after this?" Guan Xian probed as he closed a blue cased file. 

"After a lunch meeting with Mr. Lemiere, you are free until eight p.m, Boss," Tang Yu Bin said in his monotonous tone with a tight smile. 

Guan Xian stood from his high chair and corrected his neat ties. He turned to Tang Yu Bin with a smile as he decided, "Then you are dismissed for today, just make sure you check patent for our new products." 

Tang Yu Bin looks surprised as Guan Xian wears his overcoat and walks through the glass door. He followed his step shortly, asking with a confused face. 

"You don't need my assistance for this lunch meeting, boss?" 

Guan Xian waves his hand without turning to Tang Yu Bin. Never mind an explanation, Tang Yu Bin could not even see his shiny shoes after he passed the corner. Facing the empty, spacious office, Tang Yu Bin could only let out a sigh before he tied his tie the way Guan Xian did before. 

"Very well, might as well use this for time for something useful," he murmured to himself. 

Either way, it's better to have the love slave Guan Xian than the grumpy-mood version of him. Brian Lemiere must have the same thought as Tang Yu Bin. The big smile across Guan Xian's face means he probably would have a great deal today. 

"Here comes the soon-to-be groom! Look at those faces, man. Damn, marry did you well," Brian praised Guan Xian as they did their bump fist rituals. 

Guan Xian could not disagree with Brian. He does feel fantastic as his wedding day approaches. It's his own opinion, but Guan Xian feels he's getting sharper and more efficient in his works. 

"Honestly, I agree with you," Guan Xian chuckled as he took a seat opposite Brian.

Brian shook his head as he watched his friend get whipped, "I can't wait to meet your bride. Xia Sha, isn't it? Her name," Brian confirmed. 

"Yes-" Guan Xian is about to answer when he got paused by a familiar voice near his table. 

"In many cases, most people would still blame the victims of sexual something. A leaked private video, for example. I think those involved parties have the right to record everything that they want. And I believe none of the party, generally, the woman is willing to share the video with the public. But once it does, who gets the hate and the stares?" 

"That sounds phenomenal. Thank You for your time, Ms.Ye Zhen Zhen." 

"Likewise, I had a great time," Ye Zhen Zhen replied with a sweet smile. But instead of looking at her interviewer, she turns to Guan Xian. 

A quirky smirk on her face is enchanting, but what's surprising is when she points at a feminine back. Guan Xian looks at her coldly. He ignores Ye Zhen Zhen's presence and turns to Brian with a wry smile. 

"What happens?" Brian asked with an intrigued face. 

Guan Xian shook his head, indicating he did not want to talk about things that bothered him right now. Brian raised his eyebrow and took a glance at Ye Zhen Zhen across the table. The eye contact between Guan Xian and the woman shows that they had a conflict between them. The woman smile and nods at Brian, suddenly making his feet uncomfortable.

"Your ex-girlfriend? No offense, but that's some heavy vibes coming from her," Brian murmured as he sipped his wine. 

"Don't mind her. You will meet my future wife soon. You are going to stay until my wedding, right?" Guan Xian changes the topic to lift his mood that goes rock bottom upon the sight of Ye Zhen Zhen. 

"Yup, I will stay until your wedding. However, it seems to me that I will meet your fiancee sooner than I imagine," Brian exclaims, raising both of his eyebrows upon sight of a familiar face. 

"Isn't that Xia Sha over there?"
