He had played his part as instructed, but why were they going back on their word?

“Mrs . Sheng, are you not satisfied with the contract? Well, we can always talk about it . How about we give you a premium of an extra 5%?” He raised a hand reluctantly .
Seeing his reaction, An Xiaxia forced a smile .
There was nothing unwilling in his tone at all and he was only too eager to jump on board with the Song Group .
Her reaction only made Mr . Xu even more flustered . Rubbing his hands together, he said, “Mrs . Sheng, how about this? We don’t have to make any profit! All we ask for is an opportunity to work with you…”
“I was only joking,” said An Xiaxia indifferently . Only then did Mr . Xu let out a breath of relief .
He left with a hand to his chest . An Xiaxia’s eyelashes quivered when she turned to Sheng Yize . “Sheng Yize… you must find it so easy to deceive me . ”
Sheng Yize’s face darkened . Of course he could tell that An Xiaxia had done it on purpose!
“Xiaxia…”

“What?” An Xiaxia struggled to keep the smile on her face . “Are you having fun? Playing me like a fool?”
His temples throbbed . Sheng Yize sighed . “I can explain . ”
“Fine . Explain away . ” An Xiaxia stared at him with unblinking eyes .
Sheng Yize clutched his phone in his pocket .
On it was the latest update from Grandma Sheng .
Pepsi had been crying in pain for two hours .
He was her father . Of course it was torture for him to know that she was suffering .
It was also because he knew how painful this experience was that he didn’t want An Xiaxia to go through it .

But the dummy simply had to get to the bottom of everything!
“You said you’re foolish and I’m not going to deny it . ” Sheng Yize kept his face impassive . “There’s nothing to say . Xiaxia, I’m sending you abroad . ”
An Xiaxia opened her eyes in shock . “What did you just say?”
“I’m sending you abroad,” Sheng Yize repeated . “Kill time, go shopping, meet new friends — do whatever you want . ”
An Xiaxia clenched her fists . Was he getting rid of her now?
“Why…” she couldn’t help but ask .
“Can’t you tell?” Sheng Yize couldn’t even be bothered to lift his eyelids . “We’re quarreling . Since our disagreement can’t be resolved, it’s better that we separate for a few days to cool our heads . ”
An Xiaxia thought her head was going to explode .

That was outrageous!
“You bastard! Sweet talking me when you’re happy and sending me away when you’re pissed? What am I to you? A pet? Sheng Yize, I’m telling you: send me away and I’m never coming back!” Vexed, An Xiaxia blurted out the harshest words she could think of .
Sheng Yize regretted it immediately and almost wanted to tell her the truth . However, An Xiaxia had thrown off his hand and charged out of the banquet .
Fearing that she might run into an accident in that state, Sheng Yize followed her out in a hurry .
An Xiaxia walked out of the entrance when a car stopped in front of her . The window was rolled down and she saw that the person behind the wheel was Meng Xingzhou .
“Xiaxia?” He arched his eyebrows, looking surprised . “What’s wrong?”
An Xiaxia opened the back door . “Please give me a ride!”
She regretted it the moment she got in .
Lan Yu was in the backseat .
However, she was so angry that she didn’t want to speak to Sheng Yize at all .
Meng Xingzhou hesitated a little when he saw Sheng Yize running out after An Xiaxia .
Lan Yu spoke at that moment . “I think they’ve had a quarrel . It’s better to keep them apart for a while to let them cool their heads . ”
Meng Xingzhou found that reasonable . He hit the gas pedal and the car bolted out .
Sheng Yize was speechless . I’m your own nephew, ok?!
In the backseat, Lan Yu lowered her voice, her tone bewitching . “Do you think… he’s deliberately keeping the kids away from you?”
