Chapitre 9: Xia Yiwei vs Xu Anyi

The girl named Yi Tingting jumped up from the couch when she saw her and smiled, "Yiwei, you're here!"

Xia Yiwei walked over to the middle of the couch and sat down in the center, and Yi Tingting squeezed in next to her, wrapping her hand around Xia Yiwei's arm, "Yiwei, guess what just happened?"

Everyone in the room stopped talking again as they turned to look at Xia Yiwei. Most of the people knew that there was some drama between Xia Yiwei and Xu Anyi, but so many years had passed and no one knew the details.

Xia Yiwei raised one eyebrow, looking over at her best friend, "What?"

Yi Tingting pressed her lips together to hide her excitement as she lowered her voice and whispered, "Xu Anyi. She is back."

For a split second, Xia Yiwei's expression stiffened as a spark of shock flashed past her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal as she tilted her head to the side, "Really? How do you know?"

"We saw her," Yi Tingting exclaimed, and everyone nodded their heads in agreement, "She's working here."

Then, Yi Tingting went on to describe everything that had happened in detail, making sure to purposefully add more drama into her account of the story, making Xu Anyi seem like the one completely at fault.

"So, she apologized to Lin Bao and us. Oh, I have a video!" Yi Tingting picked up her phone and opened up to the video she had taken of when Xu Anyi was forced to apologize. She laughed as she turned the volume up all the way, so Xu Anyi's voice could be heard loud and clear in the room.

Xia Yiwei pretended to look uninterested, but her eyes traveled over to the screen as she watched it closely, her expression changing from shock and disgust from seeing that face again to a hint of delight as she watched the video.

However, on the outside, she frowned as she paused the video, looking at Yi Tingting with a concerned expression, "You should delete the video. Even if what she did was wrong, she was still our. . . friend before. We should still treat her nicely."

Yi Tingting closed her phone and sighed, "Yiwei, you are just too nice."

The other people in the room nodded their heads in agreement, looking at Xia Yiwei with admiration.

"Why should we treat a disgusting rate who killed her parents nicely? She doesn't deserve any of our respect or kindness!" Yi Tingting scanned the room, "Am I right?"

"Exactly!" The other people voiced in agreement.

Xia Yiwei sighed but did not say anything more as she picked up a glass of orange juice with both hands and took a small sip.

Yes, it has been five years already. . . A small smirk crept up her face as she tapped one finger against the glass.

She could not wait to see how hideous and lowly Xu Anyi is now.

In the past, Xu Anyi always stole the spotlight as the daughter of the Xu family, and she was only the daughter of the Lu family's butler, "the girl that is always next to Xu Anyi".

Now, it has all changed.

Xu Anyi is not even worthy to wipe her shoes for her now!

Xu Anyi was a criminal, an orphan that killed her own parents, and on the other hand, she was now a famous model and actress, the certified girlfriend of Lu Yuzhe, and the future young lady of the Lu family.

Xu Anyi couldn't even compare to her at all!

Xia Yiwei smiled at the thought as she twirled the glass around in her hand, taking another sip.

"Yiwei, where is your Yuzhe?" Yi Tingting asked, seeing that Xia Yiwei did not want to talk about Xu Anyi anymore. However, Yi Tingting did know that if there was one thing that Xia Yiwei always liked to talk about with others, it was her boyfriend. . . or possibly, fiance.

"Oh. . . He is busy," she replied with a shy and innocent smile.

The other girls in the room all stared at Xia Yiwei with envy and admiration. Lu Yuzhe was one of the most eligible bachelors in all of Country Z, even though he had married before. . . But no one mentioned that anymore.

He came from a good family, was smart in business, was tall and handsome, and was the dream of many girls in the country. However, everyone knew that he had the same girlfriend for the past five years, and that was Xia Yiwei, who was now a famous model and actress.

"Yiwei, when are you two going to get married? I am still waiting to receive your wedding invitation," another girl said loudly, and Xia Yiwei blushed immediately.

"I-" However, before she could respond, her phone started ringing, and the name: Yuzhe flashed brightly in the dim lighting.

"Ooh," everyone in the room exclaimed when they saw the name on the screen, and Xia Yiwei quickly picked up her phone as she glared at them with a pout.

"Hello. . ." she said softly. Everyone in the room quieted down as they listened closely to try and hear the person on the other end of the phone.

"I'm at Yihua. Yes. Room 703. Okay. Goodbye." Then, Xia Yiwei hung up and scanned the room, looking even more embarrassed as she stood up from the couch, her face still a shade of red.

"Yuzhe is here to pick me up so I won't stay for long. You guys have fun."

"I see, I see, the married woman needs to go home early to hang out with her husband," another girl teased from the other end of the couch.

"Stop making fun of me!" Xia Yiwei exclaimed, her face as red as a tomato, which made her look more innocent and cute. She quickly grabbed onto her bag and left the room, waving goodbye to them.

—

Outside, in the dark night, Xu Anyi stood in the cold wind in a corner to the side of the front door of the building, where people wouldn't notice her.

She had stood there for a while now, and the cold did not bother her as the anger was still burning inside of her. It was only her first day out of jail, yet she was already tired of everything that had happened.

How could she be so "lucky"? The first day, and she had already run into some people she did not want to run into.

She closed her eyes, listening to the quiet noises of the city at night, until the silence was suddenly disturbed by the sound of a sports car pulling up in front of the building.

She opened her eyes and saw a shining sports car stop right in front of the building a few feet in front of her, and a man stepped out from the driver's seat, wearing a black suit.

It was not an uncommon sight for there to be an expensive car or a well-dressed man at Yihua, so Xu Anyi did not pay much attention to him.

She was just about to close her eyes again when the building door was pushed open and she heard a voice call, "Yuzhe!"
