Chapter 29: 29

“Darling, you can’t put it that way. How is Ms Jiang not considered lucky? If she wasn’t adopted by such a good family like the Jiang family, she probably wouldn’t even have heard of ‘international brands’ in her life.”

Bai Zhen Zhen turned the topic around with the same the words that Jiang Mu Yu had used against her earlier.

Pausing for a moment, she turned to Jiang Mu Yu: “However, Ms Jiang, you shouldn’t look down on yourself so much. Although you were born a sparrow, but ultimately, you were raised as a phoenix. You can still pose as such in front of outsiders!”

Bai Zhen Zhen used her own words against her, leaving Jiang Mu Yu momentarily speechless. In addition, the secret of her origins had been exposed, leaving her at a further loss of what to do.

Jiang Mu Yang felt distressed for his younger sister, so he said to Bai Zhen Zhen: “Zhen Zhen, I know that there are some misunderstandings between Mu Yu and you, but she doesn’t mean any harm. She’s just very childish, and likes to be mischievous. Please don’t speak of her in that manner.”

Jiang Mu Yu listened as Jiang Mu Yang defended her, then recalled how her origins had been humiliated by others. Tears began rolling down her face immediately.

“Brother…” Jiang Mu Yu plunged into Jiang Mu Yang’s arms.

Jiang Mu Yang hurriedly patted her back in comfort.

Hearing Jiang Mu Yang’s words, Huo Xiang reached out and hugged Bai Zhen Zhen’s shoulders, addressing him: “Mr Jiang, I’m also aware of the misunderstandings between your sister and my darling. However, my darling has never taken the initiative to make trouble. It’s your childish adult sister who’s going around provoking others, so please don’t speak of my darling in that manner either.”

Huo Xiang’s words left no room for rebuttal. Embarrassment tinged Jiang Mu Yang’s face, and he could only continue to softly comfort Jiang Mu Yu.

At this moment, another familiar voice sounded.

“Zhen Zhen, it’s really you?” Song Ling held onto Ling Hao Chen’s arm and walked out of the hotel’s elevator. The moment she saw Bai Zhen Zhen, she let go of Ling Hao Chen’s arm, quickly striding over to Bai Zhen Zhen, “So the place that you mentioned previously where you were going to handle some things turned out to be here!”

After speaking, she realised that the Jiang siblings were there too, and was taken aback for a short while: “Ah, Young Master Jiang and Ms Jiang were here too?”

Ling Hao Chen followed her over and glanced at Bai Zhen Zhen, but didn’t greet her.

Bai Zhen Zhen’s face turned completely black. She shot Song Ling the exact same question she had asked the Jiang siblings when she saw them earlier.

“Why are you here?!”

Song Ling wasn’t awkward at all. Instead, she smiled and replied: “Ling Hao Chen came here to discuss a business deal. Just nice, I was on vacation, so I accompanied him. On the way, I also wanted to relax and enjoy the beach and the sea view.

Bai Zhen Zhen was in utter despair.

— Wasn’t Jiang Mu Yu’s best friend’s wedding date too much of a coincidence?!

— Why must Ling Hao Chen’s business deal have to take place here?!

Also, there were so many places that they could go to relax, why did they have to choose this place?! Did the world famous Juldives not live up to its name?! She came from a poor family, thus she didn’t have a passport. Don’t tell her that these wealthy people also didn’t have passports?!

“Ms Jiang, are you feeling unwell? The colour of your face doesn’t look too good.” Song Ling glanced at Jiang Mu Yu and asked.

Jiang Mu Yu had already wiped away the tear marks on her face, but she was unable to regulate her mood quickly enough, thus her whole aura was slightly gloomy.

“She’s alright. Maybe the weather changes caused her to contract a slight cold.” Jiang Mu Yang answered on her behalf.

Huo Xiang laughed from the side: “If you’re physically sick, you still can be cured. If you’re mentally sick, then it’s not something that can be cured in a few days.”

Jiang Mu Yu knew that she was no match for Huo Xiang and Bai Zhen Zhen, thus she decided to continue acting pitiful. She tugged Jiang Mu Yang’s hand and whispered: “Brother, why must they put us in a spot like this…”

Jiang Mu Yang saw how aggrieved his sister was, and couldn’t help but say to Huo Xiang: “Young Master Huo, Mu Yu is still just a child. If you have any grievances, we can speak about it privately. There’s no need to ridicule her in front of so many people.”

Huo Xiang remarked: “Hearing your earlier talk about watching over your younger sister, I thought that you were a sensible person. Unexpectedly, the moment your sister cried, you immediately became blind to reason.”

“Young Master Huo, please speak with decorum.” Jiang Mu Yang was beginning to get annoyed.

Bai Zhen Zhen grabbed Huo Xiang’s hand, saying: “Darling, Young Master Jiang is right. Even if Ms Jiang publicly ridiculed us previously, we must take into consideration Ms Jiang’s self-image and reason privately with her. Even if she doesn’t accept our words, we must not put her in a spot. After all, her background is so pitiful; if we can bear it, then let’s just bear it. Treat it as charity.”

“Darling, well said!” Huo Xiang held Bai Zhen Zhen’s hand back, putting on a moved expression, “With a wife like you, there’s nothing more I could ask for in life!”

It was the first time that Jiang Mu Yang heard Bai Zhen Zhen call him “Young Master Jiang”. It seemed that Bai Zhen Zhen was no longer going to acknowledge their previous relationship.

“Oh, Zhen Zhen, have you eaten lunch yet?” Song Ling inserted in a timely manner, “Why don’t we find a nice restaurant to have a meal together?”

Ling Hao Chen, who had remained silent the entire time, opened his mouth: “I still have some business to handle. You can go ahead without me.”

“Don’t be like this, Hao Chen…” Song Ling hugged Hao Chen’s arm, coaxing him cutely, “You’ll have to eat at some point of time. Since it was fate that led us to meet Ms Bai and Young Master Huo here, it’s a good opportunity to catch up with each other.”

Bai Zhen Zhen and Huo Xiang exchanged looks. Both of them had no idea what Song Ling was planning.

However, before Bai Zhen Zhen could think deeper into Song Ling’s intentions, the automatic door in the hotel lobby opened again. As soon as she turned her head to look, her whole body petrified.

If she didn’t see wrongly…

Xi Xixi was here too?!

****

Xi Xixi had walked into the hotel from outside. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses and pulling a large black suitcase. An hour ago, he had just got off the plane. After that, he took a cab over and was preparing to check in.

He didn’t expect to meet Huo Xiang the moment he stepped into the hotel lobby.

“Brother Huo Xiang, what a coincidence! You’re here too!” Xi Xixi greeted Huo Xiang enthusiastically.

After a short moment, he finally saw Bai Zhen Zhen: “That… hello…”

He didn’t know whether to call her “Zhen Zhen” or “Jia Jia”.

“Xixi, weren’t you busy dealing with the contract termination with your company?” Huo Xiang hesitated, before helping Bai Zhen Zhen voice out those familiar words, “Why are you here?”

A wry smile appeared on Xi Xixi’s face as he replied: “I’m still in the middle of terminating the contract with my company; it’ll probably still take a while. But I thought about it. There’s no money to be earned even if I continued working during this period, so I’d rather take the opportunity to relax and go on vacation.”

To relax…

Bai Zhen Zhen was about to go insane.

How many more people needed to relax?!!

— System: “Host, I’ve reminded you previously. Because you have the female lead halo, the lead characters in the novel will revolve around you to continue the plot.”

— Bai Zhen Zhen: “Oh.”

There was nothing left to look forward in life.

There were so many lead characters. They gathered together just like that?! Even staying in the same hotel?! She had enjoyed her freedom for only a single day before these people came to ruin her plans!!

Bai Zhen Zhen held her forehead in dismay.

When she returned to reality, she would seek out the author and have a long chat about life.

“Since it’s such a coincidence… Then, let’s have lunch together!” Huo Xiang asked Xi Xixi.

“Okay!” Xi Xixi readily agreed.

It seemed that their relationship had improved significantly after the heart-to-heart talk that night.

“Xiang Xiang!”

Another familiar yet unfamiliar voice rang out.

Bai Zhen Zhen’s eyes widened.

— Wasn’t this that cool beauty that they met at the airport yesterday afternoon?!

Oh right, she did mention that she was on a business trip to Haicheng — But for her to also coincidentally bump into them?! What was so special about today, for both their old and new acquaintances to rush over and join in the fun?!

“Xiang Xiang, it’s really you! You’ve completely changed your look; I almost couldn’t recognise you.” Su Meng walked up, eyeing Huo Xiang with surprise.

“Can you not call me ‘Xiang Xiang’? Huo Xiang asked helplessly.

He even specially directed a look to Bai Zhen Zhen.

“Then I’ll call you ‘Ah Xiang’!”

“‘Ah Xiang’ won’t work either.” Huo Xiang replied firmly.

Su Meng was amazed: “‘Ah Xiang’ has also been used by your wife? Unexpectedly, there are quite a few endearments between the two of you…”

Bai Zhen Zhen forced out a smile, asking Su Meng: “Ms Su is also staying at this hotel?”

“Yes, I checked in yesterday! You probably hadn’t arrived yet!” Su Meng turned back to Huo Xiang, “It looks like we are fated to meet! Did you come here for your honeymoon?”

Without waiting for Bai Zhen Zhen or Huo Xiang to answer, Su Meng took a step forward and stared at Huo Xiang’s face carefully.

“Hey, why do you look… a little familiar?”

Xi Xixi had similar sentiments: “Brother Huo Xiang, I also feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before… Other than that time in the mall and in the alleyway…”

“What? You called him ‘Brother Huo Xiang’?!” Su Meng was shocked.

“Yes,” Xi Xixi said, “Do you have a problem with that?!”

“Huo Xiang — Isn’t that the grandson of the world’s richest man, Elder Huo Zheng Yi!!” Su Meng exclaimed, “This name is so unique, it’s impossible for me to remember it wrongly!”

Su Meng and Xi Xixi’s eyes focused on Huo Xiang’s face at the same time.

Huo Xiang sighed: “Yeah, that’s me.”

“No wonder your aesthetic sense is so spectacularly unique! It turns out you’re someone with such a noble status!” Su Meng had practically become Huo Xiang’s number one braindead (female) fan.

Listening to her words by the side, Bai Zhen Zhen almost doubted herself.

What did this girl experience, to think that Huo Xiang’s dressing that day was spectacular?!

On the other hand, Huo Xiang’s number one braindead (male) fan felt slightly desolate.

“Brother Huo Xiang, it turns out that your family background was so extraordinary…” Xi Xixi’s voice was a little sad, “We are worlds apart from each other. I’m utterly unqualified to be friends with you…”

“How could that be! You’re only temporarily in a difficult situation! When these tough days are over, you will definitely become a popular celebrity that people fall over for!” Huo Xiang encouraged.

Xi Xixi scratched his head in embarrassment: “Really? Even I don’t have that much confidence in myself…”

“Of course it’s real! Zhen Zhen holds you in very high regards!” Huo Xiang replied without thinking.

Xi Xixi was startled.

Bai Zhen Zhen was also startled.

Then, Xi Xixi smiled shyly at Bai Zhen Zhen: “Thank you… Sister Zhen Zhen…”

Bai Zhen Zhen: “You’re welcome.”

— System: “Ding~ Female lead happiness points -10.”

— Huo Xiang: “??? Why???”
