" Still no news from them?" Xue Ning put down the teacup on the table. Her face was so calm, but Xue Yang knows her better than anyone else. This was a calm before the storm.
Today, he decides to pay a visit to Platinum Garden. Their private investigators failed to locate Xue Ming's whereabouts. It's already a month, but no news from their search. As if the person vanished from the world. No traces or clues at all.
" No, sis. It's like that old woman keeps it a secret. I tried to bribe her personal maid but failed." Xue Yang sighed, rubbing his hair with great distress. That b*tch like a loach!
" No rush. Keep an eye at the main house, try to get information as many as you can while visiting there. Check the CCTV records for sometimes, and don't make it too obvious." Xue Ning leans on the sofa, tapping her polished nails on the armchair.
Hiding, eh...good! Very good indeed. Xue Ming, don't let me caught you alive. Don't force my hands on your beloved family, or else...
Xue Ning looks at the nearest photo frames at the cabinet and saw a family photo at the front row. She saw herself, Xue Yang and their mother. Pain struck her hurt, hate overcomes her consciousness. So much pain their family of three faces these years. No one understands how it felt to be abandoned by your own father and his family. Her mother is the second wife, but that man never steps into the house even for once.
So what if he never acknowledges the three of them? So what if he never comes to visit? In the end, all his fortune will fall into their hands.
You force me to do this, father. So, don't blame me for getting revenge!

Xue Ming looks at the crowd absentmindedly. She felt something bad would happen, but no clues at all as for what kind of bad things will come. As a practitioner, her instinct far more accurate than some divination. Hell, she never believes in one.
At her previous life, her Sage Master always do divination every month. As mischievous as ever, she would disturb the old man at his humble mansion, or do some prank by using Star Stone to create a false read. However, her Sage Master always caught her red-handed when doing the bad deeds.
Absorbed in recalling the past memory, she stopped being aware of her surroundings until a big, rough hand grabbed her shoulder harshly from behind. She stiffened, and do a quick leap off from the bench. Her summersault can be said as exaggerating, but she landed beautifully while standing straight with martial art posture ready to fight.
She looked solemn after finding the person who dares to molest her actually a stranger. The man wearing a dark blue business suit. Handsome with glasses adorning his face, his surprised and happiness looks didn't escape her fierce gaze. She frowned and tried to ask but the man beat her for asking first.
" Xue...Ming? Are you Xue Ming'er?" The man's trembling voice shown how excited he was. The lost feeling from two years ago rushes into his empty heart like a raging tide.
Xue Ming stunned. An acquaintance? She ransacks her memory to find this man information, but to no avail. No memory of this person? Then, how he knows her?
She asked cautiously, " You are..." Xue Ming stays in her ready to attack stance, but her earlier performance already attracting some onlookers that come to the mall. Some of them stunned by her quick movement, some of them records the scenes, and some of them waiting for the next scene to happens. That is human nature as a curious creature.
" Hey, hey, are they shooting a martial art movie?" the onlookers asking around them.
" What shooting? This is a real scene. No cameras around us, duh!" another man answered. They stunned. Seriously?!
Now, its the man turns to be stunned. She didn't remember him? Then, it is possible after that incident back then. He sighed and smiled. His eyes soften at the cautious girl. She looks so beautifully stunning with her lady-like dressing. This is not her first time to dress like this, but every time she does, she never failed to make him impressed and lucky at the same time.
This is his girl.
" I'm Xia Naihe."

Hello readers...
I'm back. Honestly, I'm not so sure about this chapter and the previous chapters back then. When I read back all the chapters, I cringed.
So many loopholes in the story! Bah, I can't believe this is my major mistakes after reediting many times over. Aihh, should I buy the premium Grammarly to help me?
*That expensive, though...* (T^T)o
