Chapter 94: Not When The First Snow Is Falling Right Now.

BANG!

Xiao Zhan didn't hesitate to slam the heavy, wooden door and broke the ancient doorknob that has been there for a century of Xiao's family existence. 

"Grandpa, I told you, we can't rely upon Xiao Zhan." Xiao Yu's frosty glance stays on the cold doorknob at the well-polished marble floor. 

Grandfather Xiao took another sip of his coffee and cleared his throat. 

"Are you the one to talk? I told you to pursue Guan Xiao Ni. You didn't dare," Grandfather Xiao said plainly, didn't bother to look at Xiao Yu. 

Xiao Yu's face darkened. He averted his gaze away from the floor to the rows of books on his grandfather's shelves. 

Right from the start, they both knew Xiao Zhan is the hardest to control among the Xiao family. Xiao Zhan is the free-spirited bird that does and goes as what his heart told. 

He always does the opposite of what the family needs and wants. 

They told him to continue his study abroad. He enrolls in a private university after failing the entrance test to the same university as Xia Sha.

They wanted him to starts working in the company. He opens a chain of bar and nightclub, just because he like drinking and partying. 

Before Xia Sha contacted him to meet, he hires himself as a photographer and underground bike racer. God knows how tortured his soul was while working at the Xia Corporation right now. 

He is the source of headache for the family, yet he is the most adored for having extra bravery. That's why when he said he still wants to be with Xia Sha, Everyone is so worked up to help him. 

"Grandpa, we missed our chance because we keep prolong it for Xiao Zhan. Guan Xian has either chase or fired everyone our people in the government now. Even if Xiao Zhan marries Xia Sha, our way wouldn't be as smooth as before." 

Xiao Yu finally shows some surge of anger after staying stoic for a long time. They planned this for a long time, yet just because his spoiled younger brother wanted to be with this girl, everything fell apart. 

"Xiao Yu, I can understand you felt insecure since Guan Xian and our family eyeing at the same prey. See the bigger picture. Schism is the start of a dynasty's destruction. We set our eyes on the prize, but keep our family united."

"Schism? We won't be arguing like this if one person felt obligated to contributed something to this family." 

Xiao Yu scowled, walking away from his grandfather's working room with burning flames on his heart.

"Have some little faith for your brother, won't you?" his grandfather rebuked, looking at Xiao Yu's cold shoulder intently. 

"Faith? He doesn't even believe in himself, how funny."

Xiao Yu's cold mumbles vibrate on the empty room as he walked away with gloom on his face. He didn't frown or smile, but it's clear his mood to go on a date with Zheng Shuang is ruined now. 

But it's not like Zheng Shuang cares about him when she is in the middle of a conversation with her poor best friend. 

"How can your grandfather threatened you like that?!"

Zheng Shuang sound so pissed, which make Xia Sha felt a lot better in many ways. A low 'hmm' comes as her response since she didn't know what to say to her best friend. 

"I don't understand why your family didn't like my family? No offense, but my brother is way better than Xiao Zhan in every way." 

Xiao Ni said. Don't even ask why Xiao Ni end up in their group call. Naturally, after colluding with Zheng Shuang, Zheng Shuang found the big potential inside Xiao Ni and decided to add her to their gossip group. 

Although Xiao Ni sounds like she is bragging, everyone could hear the hidden distress in her voice. 

Xia Sha's felt slightly suffocate when she heard Xiao Ni's complaint. First of all, it's not that her family won't like Guan Xian courting her. But she didn't want her family to know about it.

Well, maybe for her mother, who had known about Guan Xian's interest before the whole flash mob things.

"Your grandfather is still in the hospital?" Kai Xin asked this time. 

"Hmm." 

"Will you visit him, or not?" Zheng Shuang high pitched voice rang out this time. 

"Of course, she needs to visit her grandfather. It's still his grandfather after all," Xiao Ni answered before Xia Sha. 

"But coming without an answer is like coming to the devil liar without preparation," Kai Xin said. 

"Well, Xia Sha could ask Guan Xian's a company," Zheng Shuang voicing her brilliant idea. Xiao Ni claps her hand from her place, while excitedly remarked. 

"Brother, Mother, Father, even my grandfather will go along with you. Xia Sha, don't worry, the Guan family got your back!"

"That's more like it. By the way, why can't I find news about Guan Xian's flashmob in the mall? Did my phone broke?" Kai Xin mumbles to herself but loud enough for everyone to hear. 

Zheng Shuang and Xiao Ni pursed their mouth and went silent. They also questioned why it hadn't reached the news yet. Instead, the article about Xiao and Xia's family entanglement rose to the third top rank. 

They are talking really fast that Xia Sha almost fails to cope with them. Finally, after a moment of silence, she got her chance to speak.

"I asked it to be removed," Xia Sha notified, getting up from her leathered seat and walk to the big glass behind her desk. 

"Why?!" Thay gasped and asked in unison. 

"Oh well, I do know it's embarrassing, but it could help to stop the news about you and Xiao Zhan," Xiao Ni added afterward. 

Xia Sha lowered her gaze to the busy street. Her fingertips trail the street lamps from one to another, a boring game she invented for herself. 

"Well, I don't want my name to be entangled by him. Yet. Not before I'm sure..." She is hesitating to give out her honest answer since Xiao Ni is listening. 

"I do understand that feeling," Xiao Ni imparted with a low voice. 

A faint smile appeared on Xia Sha's face when she heard Xiao Ni's answer. 

The other two girls are quiet since it might be offensive to say something about Guan Xian in front of her sister. But who would've expected Xiao Ni could be so warm and understanding.

"Must be suck, huh, being an heiress. People keep underestimating us, women. When you succeed, they would say it's because of your family. When you fail, they will say you are a disappointment." Xia Sha joked, the confidence in herself slowly debilitating. 

"At the end of the day, they will insist on giving up the throne for a man. Am I the weird one for having an obsession to seat on my father's seat one day?" Xia Sha mused out her thought. 

"Absolutely no! This is the twenty-one century!" Kai Xin seethed. 

"Agree to that! Why do we need a man? Especially the one who dumped you on national television." Xiao Ni voice out her stressful mind. Xia Sha and the other laughed at her. 

"At least you don't have to ever worry about money."

"Yeah, the only thing I have and would never betray me," Xiao Ni rolls her eyes.

"Well, better than have nothing at all, trust me," Zheng Shuang said.

A smile cracked on Xia Sha's face finally. 

"I told you, I trust nothing and no one but trust fund."

"You and Wang Kai can be a really great friend," Xiao Ni hissed, and Xia Sha laughed at that, glancing at the workload she needs to finish. 

She sighed lowly and painfully mocked herself. 

Look at you, you knew they would never appreciate your work, yet you still hanging to that thin string of hope that they would. You are so pathetic. She tells herself when she bid goodbye to the group. 

She is about to turn her body back to her desk when she notices a white particle starts falling from the sky. 

A wondrous excitement slowly crept into her heart as she watches people cheering downstairs and outside her office. 

"Look! It's the first snow!"

"The first snow is falling!" 

The joyful voice could move the muscle around her lips to move into a beautiful smile. She watched people starts to hug, kissed, or pull out their phone one by one. 

As a winter child, she always felt happy to see snow. It's probably her favorite weather since she could choose her favorite things. But the first snow always makes her felt peaceful somehow. 

It's a shame she couldn't touch the real snow since she is inside the building. Her envious gaze falls on the people downstairs for a few seconds until someone knocked on her door from outside. 

"What is it?" Xia Sha answered, walking back to her seat without looking up to the door. She is expecting Fu Qun behind the closed door. 

The door is being pushed by Fu Qun, wearing the tailored suit in Italy, made only for him under his grey coat. With his ever-charming smiles and shiny black, leathered shoes, he approached Xia Sha's desk with a gentle smile. 

"I knew we only met, but I can't let you stay in this pathetic place. Not when the first snow is falling right now." 

That voice...

Xia Sha is so surprised when she looked up and find Fu Qun has been replaced by the man wearing a grey coat.. He has a kind smile and some snowmelt on his board shoulder, and neat hair.
