Xiao Ni has directly shown her support for Xia Sha. At this rate, if someone is not mentally ill, no matter how thick their face, they would walk away.
But Meng Ran merely stood there. She did not even flinch when Xiao Ni scowls at her.
"This girl is impossible." Xiao Ni murmured lowly that only Xia Sha could hear her.
"Hm, I know," Xia Sha replied curtly, raising her left eyebrow at Meng Ran. If she is not desperate to walk away right now, she would happily help Xiao Ni chasing away this green tea bitch.
"You deal with her," Xiao Ni whisper to her and secretly nudge Xia Sha's elbow.
Xia Sha narrowed her eyes at Xiao Ni and furrowed her eyebrow. "Ask your brother. She is your brother's friend after all."
"Che! Is simply a self-proclaiming! She wishes she could be my brother's friend!" Xiao Ni throws a dirty look at Meng Ran.
Xia Sha shrugs her shoulder lightly. She looks at Guan Xian indifferently as she said, "He did not refute."
"He won't dare to be her friend. I will beat him if he does." Xiao Ni said as she gave her brother a sharp glance.
Everyone: "..."
Ji Cun Xi could not stand these two great women anymore. They make her wanted to clap his hand so badly!
They are whispering at each other about how to chase Meng Ran away. But what kind of whispering could be heard by everyone in their little circle?
He needed to give them an oscar or a noble prize.
Xiao Ni is astounding, but Xia Sha is a little bit more. With a few words, she manages to attack Meng Ran and Guan Xian at the same time. But the most wondrous of them is Meng Ran.
Ji Cun Xi did not watch her face changes at all. She keeps her clean face smiling and did not even move one step from her place. It's like her foot is deeply rooted there, beside Guan Xian, and she couldn't move forever.
"I never saw someone as shameless as this girl. Should we hire her as a salesgirl? I believe she could be an employee of the months with her thick face." Ji Cun Xi whispers this to Jian Jun.
Jian Jun pressed her lips and placed his hand into his pockets. "Insurance sales." He agreed.
Their intense fight is the center of everyone's attention right now. Although it felt a little bit overwhelming for Meng Ran, she did not want to take a defeated move and let Xia Sha win.
She moves her gaze from Xia Sha's smug face to Guan Xian's flat face. With a little blush, she shyly talks to him. With these moves, Meng Ran could easily win, even against Xiao Ni this time.
Judging from their conversation, Guan Xian is not too content with Xia Sha right now. Or else, why would he frown at his little sister when Xiao Ni defended Xia Sha?
"Mr. Guan, I have the file mention last time. Can we talk somewhere private?" Meng Ran slips the little messy hair behind her ears with her beautiful finger. Her soft and harmless appearance like an innocent high school student could move people's hearts with no trouble.
Even a few men in the crowd shifted their gaze from Xiao Ni and Xia Sha to Meng Ran for a moment.
Every eye falls on Guan Xian right now. A few come with warning eyes not to agree with Meng Ran. But mostly, they wanted Guan Xian to nod his head. If he did, the guest might be served by a bigger drama later.
Everyone is dying to know Guan Xian's response, while the man simply sips his wine and look at Meng Ran. There is no trace of expression on his face. It is like he has turned into Jian Jun or Wang Kai 2.0.
"Miss Meng, Mr. Ling is looking at your right now. Please don't cause a misunderstanding," Guan Xian answer nonchalantly, deliberately smiling at Ling Guan in the crowd.
Ling Guang's smile is stiff, but he did not say anything. He did ask Meng Ran to stay close with Xia Sha tonight. He hopes if Xia Sha could do some pitching to future clients tonight, Meng Ran could hear a glimpse of it.
This way, he could accomplish the task from Xiao Yu.
But he did not tell Meng Ran to stick with Guan Xian and eventually cause a big scene like this. Even Xiao Ni and Xia Sha have directly shooed her away, Meng Ran clung to their group like a leech.
Even if she did not has a face to lose, he still has!
Right now, he just hopes Meng Ran could give up and get lost from this party. But that girl did not even turn around and look at him. He watched her shamelessly shook her head and smile.
"This is business stuff. Ling Guan won't misunderstand us."
Her answer is too brave for someone with no name like her. Even Xia Sha felt amused and embarrassed for her at one point. But this girl is so firm in getting what she wants.
Wang Kai tapped Xiao Ni's shoulder, ask her to leave Guan Xian to deal with Meng Ran on his own. He didn't want Xiao Ni to get more agitated when her rivals are so shameless this time.
Xia Sha turns her gaze at Jian Jun and Ji Cun Xi that have disappeared from their standing. She could use this excuse to leave with Xiao Ni too.
So, When Wang Kai pulls Xiao Ni's arm, she wants to trail her from behind. Only to find that someone catches her wrist and pulls her unready body when she takes her first step.
"Ah!" she cried out in panic.
Her body flung in the air, and she predicted herself to fall. She closed her eyes and prepared for the pain. But instead of a dead, cold floor, her body falls on someone's warm and hard chest.
It's not as comfortable as a mattress, but the hard chest is definitely better than the floor.
Her ears fall right on the man's right chest. She could hear his fast, pounding heart with practically no distance between them. She froze under the man's strong arm.
"..."
No one wants to broke the silence between them. In everybody's eyes, Guan Xian and Xia Sha look like they just come out of a romance novel. True, their outstanding look is a big part of making them look so compatible together.
But how can one ignore the eyes they have on each other. Guan Xian looks at Xia Sha in a way every woman wanted to be looked at. It's the eyes filled with passion and love.
Meng Ran's face turns green when she realized this. No! She has set her eyes on Guan Xian. She won't let Xia Sha win this again! She could not let Guan Xian fall in love with Xia Sha. That's the only way for her to win!
She took a step closer to them, stretching her hand to help Xia Sha's stand up on her own. "Miss Xia, Let me help you."
This might sound like a nice offer, but no one in the room is stupid enough to let Meng Ran's pathetic acting fool them this time.
Meng Ran's voice makes Xia Sha gain back her common sense. She places her energy on her foot and tried to escape from Guan Xian's embrace.
She did not know why do these cliche moves could make her turn stupid for a moment again.
Depressed and frustrated, she just wants to walk away and go home right now. Also, where are her other friends in a time like this? where is Zheng Shuang and Kai Xin?
She pushes Guan Xian's hand away, but the man stubbornly keeps her inside his embrace. She looked up and found he was looking down at her.
"Let me go!" she ordered. Her eyes alight with some anger inside. Guan Xian is way more used to her temper and did not felt any rush to grant her wish at all. Instead, she fell he tighten his arm around her wrist.
This b*stard!
"No," He simply said to Xia Sha before ignoring her. Averting his gaze on Meng Ran's direction right now. "Miss Meng, you misunderstood me. Your relationship with Ling Guang did not bother me, however, this stubborn and confusing girl over here might get the wrong idea about us."
Meng Ran's smile looks weird now. She lowered her gaze and hug herself with her own arm. Looking petite and weak.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you two-" She paused to look at Xia Sha's visible eyes filled with hatred.
"Just now she said..." She pretended to look confused and shited their conversation to the time where Xia Sha said he only looks at Guan Xian as her benefactor. They are not even as close to friendly relations.
Guan Xian smile at this, he did not refute Meng Ran's word at all. However, in front of everybody else in the room, he smiles and calmly confesses something that makes the whole room went dumbfounded.
"It's up to her to look at me as her benefactor. But I look at her as a beautiful woman I wanted to pursue."
He then turns to Meng Ran and shows his friendly smiles. "I don't want her to misunderstand this since she hasn't been very happy with me this past day. Miss Meng, you can just give me the file I asked you. No need to discuss, I trust you."
