"Mommy." Looking at his leaving back, Bao asked Xia Xingcheng in a low voice with his arms around her neck, "Where"s Daddy going?"
Xia Xingcheng stroked his head and felt it both funny and annoying at the same time. She didn"t know why but no matter how she explained to Bao and told him don"t call the man Daddy, Bao never listened to her as if he had chosen the man to be his Daddy.
She shook her head slowly with a helpless laugh and was about to remind Bao again that he found a wrong Daddy. However, as soon as she raised her head, she saw Xia Xingyang walking to them slowly.
"Why are you here?" Immediately, her face darkened but she still asked coldly.
Meanwhile, Xia Xingyan a.s.sumed a look of innocence and said, gently holding Xia Xingcheng"s hand, "Take it easy, sister. Thinking of that you may feel it a bit boring, I"m here to company you and have a chat."
For G.o.d"s sake, she would probably be so nice but not to Xia Xingcheng. By saying this, she put herself in a low profile so that no one could judge her even when she said something hurt the other secretly.
"I never told you, sister, that I actually kind of jealous you before."
Xia Xingyan curled her lips and added injuredly though Xia Xingcheng didn"t even give her a glance, "You"ve always been the "beloved daughter" of our father since you were born while I lived in the rental house with my mother with a dark life. I was so jealous that I couldn"t stop thinking of taking my father and Xu Hao away from you. They should belong to me."
Hearing what she said, Xia Xingcheng felt it only ridiculous. It sounded like Xia Xingyan had suffered a lot of unfairness. It might be true, but the one who caused this wasn"t Xia Xingcheng.
"But you know what? Sister..." Xia Xingyan sobbed and her voice sounded more pitiful, "Xu Hao did love you deeply and he even wanted to give you all the best things if he could. Therefore, I planned to draw his attention by provoking you to hurt me so that he would care about me."
"Since you went abroad, he was extremely hurt. And it was me who companied him all the time and helped him to move over the tough days. Meanwhile, he noticed my pays and fell in love with me..."
"Are you enough?"
While Xia Xingyan was going to continue, Xia Xingcheng interrupted her with an expressionless face, "I really don"t have any interest in your love story. Besides, I have no time to watch you show off."
"Hhha!" Facing Xia Xingcheng"s expected reaction, Xia Xingyan took back the sadness on her face immediately and laughed out, "Come on, are you angry so soon?"
"But it"s not a surprise to me. You"re always like this which is also the part of you I enjoy most. Otherwise, you wouldn"t be fooled by me like an idiot five years ago. Don"t you think that you can rise up from the dirt since you hooked up with Mr. Sheng? Let me guess... Hmmm, he may have no idea about the dirty thing you"ve done in the past, right?"
With an odd smile, Xia Xingyan touched her chin and then she picked up a cup of wine from the plate held by the waiter, "What will happen if he is told that you have an unforgettable former affection to the fiancé of your sister? I really worried about it."
She pa.s.sed the wine to Xia Xingcheng while speaking, but her hand with the wine was pushed away by Xia Xingcheng who frowned.
Like the fish was now on the hook, the moment Xia Xingcheng touched her hand, Xia Xingyan snickered strangely and immediately threw the wine to the ground; then she fell to the floor. It happened so quickly that even her hair was quite a mess due to the move. She yelled, "Sister, you already got Mr. Sheng. You should forget Xu Hao."
Her voice deliberately became higher which could draw everyone"s attention in the Lobby.
"Are you still blaming me that I keep a relations.h.i.+p with Xu Hao..." She bit her lip sadly. It seemed that the tears in her eyes would fall down any time, "But it wasn"t my fault. We all knew that it was you who cheated on Xu Hao and our affair was revealed in the hotel. Don"t you remember that? How could you..."
She stopped without finis.h.i.+ng her words but it was already enough to splash dirty water to Xia Xingcheng.
Xia Xingcheng was shocked into the blank by her sudden "performance". Her head was ringing due to the loud noise and her temples were throbbing at this moment. All the people around stared at Xia Xingcheng with the surprised eyes.
"Xia Xingcheng! What have you done?"
Noticing that Xia Xingyan sat on the ground destructively, Xu Hao quickly forced his way through the crowd and held Xia Xingyan into his arms, yelling at Xia Xingcheng ruthlessly.
Of course, Xia Xingyan"s acting also fooled her father who saw what happened. Her father immediately rebuked Xia Xingcheng because he was always partial to his second daughter, "I should never have given you the birth if I had known you owned such an evil heart."
Endless curses and blames made Xia Xingcheng feel dizzy. She put Bao down at once in case of hurting him when she fell.
"You bad woman." Meanwhile, Bao pointed at Xia Xingyan and screamed angrily, "You lied!"
Xia Xingcheng now just felt a chest discomfort. She forced herself to stand up but she suddenly blacked out and finally fell down.
She thought that she would definitely fell on the cold floor like a drowned mouse. However, it never happened because she was held by a warm hug.
Sheng Yeting showed up unexpectedly, and besides, he reached out and put her in his arms tightly. Then he raised his head, coldly staring at Xia Xingyan who already stood up.
Under his chilling sight, Xia Xingyan felt scared. She immediately wore her mask, the poor innocent face, again, and said softly, "Mr. Sheng, please don"t be mad at my sister. She once grew up with Xu Hao, and no matter what happened between them before, it was the past..."
"Grew up together?"
Sheng Yeting laughed and then he turned to look at Xu Hao saying ironically, "Your sister did have a bad taste before, but she won"t be like that anymore. I believe that as long as I"m still alive, she won"t choose another man."
Ignoring Xia Xingyan"s shocked expression, Sheng Yeting picked Bao up with the other hand and held Xia Xingcheng who was still in coma before he turned around walking away.
