A Miao knew that she was kidnapped. Her mouth was covered as soon as she walked to the beach. A pungent smell emerged, and she could not even cry for help.
When she woke up, she opened her eyes and began to tremble because she did not know what had happened to her. But when she saw herself naked with Bai Youran lying beside her.
She would rather have never woken up.
"I'm here, it's okay!"
At this time, she saw Shen Xinglan. A Miao thought she had been hallucinating until she was being tightly hugged by him.
"A Miao, I'm here." Shen Xinglan wrapped her in the sheets and picked her up. "I'll take you home."
Because of the drug, A Miao only woke up for a while and then passed out again. Shen Xinglan hugged her into the car, and Shen I looked at him with fist clenched.
"Boss."
Shen Xinglan's index finger pressed against his lips as he whispered, "Go to Shen II. He knows what to do."
"Understood." Shen I commanded his men and then sat down in the driver's seat to drive.
When A Miao woke up again, she was already in her room. Her first reaction was to look at her body, and she saw that she had pajamas on.
"You're awake." Shen Xinglan came in with a glass of milk.
It was unknown if it was just a physiological reaction, as soon as A Miao saw him, she cried.
"Don't... don't cry. You're all right, he didn't touch you," said Shen Xinglan, somewhat flustered.
A Miao cried and nodded. "I... I know." She was clear about her own body and there was no sign of having been violated.
"Thank you." A Miao could not stop her tears while speaking. "At that time... when you appeared, I thought it was a dream."
She did not know how to describe her feelings. Thinking back on it now, whenever Shen Xinglan appeared, he was like her savior. Every time she despaired, he would appear.
"Drink." Shen Xinglan handed a cup to her.
As warm milk ran down her throat, her body instantly became warm, and A Miao sighed in relief.
"Do you want to know what happened?" Shen Xinglan sat down beside her bed, and A Miao stared directly at him. "Was it Bai Lu?"
Shen Xinglan shook his head. "She has already been busy taking care of herself. She has no time to plot against you."
"Who is it then?" If it wasn't her, then who could it be...
"Was it Xia Wan?" She clutched at her chest. "She... How dare..."
Shen Xinglan glanced at her. "Why would she not dare? From the beginning, that woman never intended to marry Bai Youran. If you were caught in bed with him today, she could rightfully dissolve the engagement."
The Xia and Bai families were now in great chaos, just as Shen Xinglan had said.
"Grandpa!"
Xia Mei put on an act and rushed toward him.
"Why are you here?" Xia Wan had a sinister face and really wanted to strangle this damned girl who had repeatedly ruined her plans.
As Bai Youran also woke up, he saw himself and Xia Mei naked and saw Xia Wan standing coldly on the bed, then his heart suddenly sank.
"Damn it! Who's done this? Who has hurt me?"
Xia Yongqiang exchanged glances with the old lady of the Bai family.
"Relative by marriage, this should have never happened today. What do you think?" The old lady of the Bai family was the first to speak.
"I'll send someone to investigate." Xia Yongqiang nodded while fidgeting because he naturally knew that someone had orchestrated this incident, but he did not understand what the purpose of that person was.
If it was to destroy the marriage, why did that person use Xia Mei? Even if Bai Youran really did touch Xia Mei, the marriage would not be canceled, it would just be with a different woman.
"All right, you two get ready and go home." When Xia Haixin saw that neither of the two old men intended to investigate, he took Yao Lili and walked out.
"Wanwan..." They along with Bai Youran were afraid of Xia Wan misunderstanding. "I didn't touch Xia Mei. I was framed."
Xia Wan put on an ugly expression as she raised the corner of her mouth. "Let's go back first."
When the two families left, Shen II took left with the men.
"Did you send Xia Mei in?" Hearing the end of the story, A Miao said with horror, "Wouldn't that be to her liking?"
Shen Xinglan shook his head. "The ecstasy that was given to you was a very heavy dose. Bai Youran could not do anything." Seeing A Miao's vacant face, Shen Xinglan explained it to her.
"If people had really caught them in bed, the Bai family would have definitely pursued the issue to the end." Shen Xinglan lifted his eyebrows. "Xia Wan also called a reporter."
A Miao gave a bitter smile. "She wanted to make some noise, so the marriage between the two families had to be canceled. She really hates me and tries to use me to help herself."
"No." Shen Xinglan shook his head. "She had originally wanted to find a woman in the social circle, but someone sent you up instead."
Holding her fist tightly, A Miao felt cold all over. "Who was it?"
"Ji Xue."
Haha... Guessed at last.
A Miao covered her head with the quilt, curled up her body underneath, and lay down.
"I want to be alone."
Her muffled voice came from under the quilt. Shen Xinglan stopped in midair and paused. He opened his mouth but said nothing.
A Miao listened to his footsteps and waited until he left before revealing her head.
"Why... I didn't do anything. Why does everyone hold on to me..." Tears ran down her cheeks, and A Miao bit her lip to keep from crying out loud.
Shen Xinglan went into the study room, where Shen I and Shen II had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Boss, those reporters were knocked unconscious and thrown into a garbage bin." Shen I squeezed his fist. "No one knows about today except for the two families."
"Go and remind Xia Yongqiang so that his good granddaughter will not destroy the marriage." Shen Xinglan squinted. "As for Ji Xue..."
Shen II was a little worried. "If we make things ugly, I'm afraid Master Ji will know."
"Not yet." There was a look of madness in Shen Xinglan's eyes. "I've been waiting for so many years, and I can wait for some time."
Shen I curled his lips and wanted to say something but was stopped by Shen II. Quiet for a while, Shen Xinglan formed his mouth into a smile.
"But she plotted against my woman, how can this debt be forgiven!"
A Miao did not know that she was already the private property of Shen Xinglan. She slept through the night in a daze. Although she had no spirit, she still propped herself up to go to school.
When Shen Xinglan went to her room to find her, he found that she was not there.
"Where the hell is Shen I?"
"He sent the young lady to school and hasn't come back..." Shen II could not help mourning Shen I.
When A Miao was about to leave, he warned him that he should ask the Boss. As a result, Shen I, that idiot, had said that this little thing was unnecessary.
"Send him to Africa." Shen Xinglan's face was sinister and he went straight to the office without breakfast.
In this way, when Shen I came back, he was packed up and thrown onto a plane before he could even speak.
In school, A Miao had no appetite to eat and met Ji Xue as soon as she left the cafeteria.
"Why are you here?" Ji Xue was taken aback when she saw her.
If she could, A Miao really wanted to slap this woman severely. Unfortunately, she couldn't. She did not have the skill to fight with Ji Xue. She could only let these people shoot her again and again.
"Are you deaf? Can't you hear me asking you?" Ji Xue was standing in front of A Miao.
She had not seen the news in the newspaper this morning and felt that something was wrong. Xia Wan said that when she found reporters, and she would make things worse, but nothing had happened. Had Xia Wan failed after she left last night?
"Get out of the way." A Miao looked at her coldly. "A good dog gets out of the way."
Ji Xue shot her a glare. "What did you say?"
"I said the dog gets out of the way." A Miao said it again. "Why do you care about where I am?"
Ji Xue was frightened by her eyes and stepped back two steps. She also wanted to say something but was interrupted by another voice.
"Classmate A Miao."
Jiang Hua went up to her with a smile. "Are you free? I have something for you."
"Yes, Professor Jiang." A Miao gave a quick glance at Ji Xue, followed Jiang Hua, and left.
Ji Xue cursed secretly and turned to call Xia Wan.
"Hey, what's going on? Why didn't I see anything in the news?"
"What? She ran away?" Ji Xue let out an incredible cry. "How is it possible? Obviously..."
On the other side of the phone, Xia Wan said something, making Ji Xue's expression even uglier.
"Of course I won't say anything. Likewise, you should keep your mouth shut."
"Pah!" She threw her cell phone on the ground and, noticing that some classmates around her had seen it, she stamped her foot and picked it up again, and then left quickly.
In the Xia family, Xia Wan's heart had been hanging. When Xia Yongqiang and Xia Haixin went to the company, Yao Lili finally asked the question she had kept for a whole night.
"Did you do it?"
"Of course not." Xia Wan denied it. "Do you think I would let Xia Mei go to Bai Youran's bed?"
Yao Lili breathed a sigh of relief. "It scared me to death, it's good then."
Although she doubted her, she also felt that her daughter was not so stupid. If Xia Mei had a relationship with Bai Youran, it meant that the Bai family would only support the second child from now on, which would be very unfavorable to her and her daughter.
"If it was not you, then who was it?" Yao Lili could not think of anything.
Xia Wan gave her a look and said impatiently, "How should I know? Grandpa conducted an investigation."
At school, Jiang Hua poured a cup of hot tea in front of A Miao.
"You look so unsightly. What's the matter?"
"Nothing!" A Miao touched her face and squeezed out a smile. "I probably didn't sleep well last night."
Jiang Hua sat down opposite her and said earnestly, "We are friends. I hope you don't bury everything in your heart. Can I help you?"
"I..."
His eyes were sincere. A Miao could feel that Jiang Hua was sincere toward her. But how could she say that she had been drugged, stripped, and taken to a man's bed?
"It's really okay. Don't worry about it. Didn't you say you were looking for me?"
Looking at her hidden smile, Jiang Hua was disappointed, but quickly adjusted his mood and gave her a copy of the data.
"Look at this."
A Miao took it and turned over several pages, which were full of exquisite antiques. When she saw a piece of white jade, her eyes tightened. She did not know why, but she felt that it seemed like the piece that she stole from Xia Yongqiang.
"This is a batch of good things to be auctioned in City S next month." Jiang Hua smiled. "They asked me to be a consultant. Are you interested?"
In the Xia family, Xia Yongqiang with a calm face called Xia Wan into the study.
"Grandpa, what can I do for you? It's time for dinner." Xia Wan walked in uneasily, and as the words resounded, she just received a slap.
Xia Yongqiang glared at her. "I underestimated you. I almost let my granddaughter fu*k me up."
