章節 14: History with Celeste
Meng Xingran was a middle aged woman who had a beauty that screamed seduction. She was not the gorgeous type of beauty which could make men go week on their knees. But she was attractive with her black hair and dark brown eyes. But age was already playing his work with her and thick layer of makeup could be easily seen as she applied it for gaining her father's attention and to appear as a elegant, rich lady. But no matter what, a raven can never be a swan.
Meng Xiuran, on the other hand, had a gentle type of beauty. She was also not the gorgeous, peerless type of beauty like Celeste D'Evereux or Xia Liena. But her beauty and her practised expressions screamed innocence and naivety and it could evoke the men's desire to possess her and protect her. At the same time, she had a hint of maturity in her face as she was two years older than Xia Liena.
Xia Liena looked at them with a cold expression and then she averted her eyes from them to avoid herself from bursting in fury.
She then looked at her parents who were still opening their mouths as if they had seen a ghost. The only normal reaction she saw till now was Lian's. But Xia Liena doubted that it was because Xion already told about everything when they were getting ready.
Seeing her parents reaction, Xia Liena was attempting to stop her laughter. Afterall who would believe this kind of silly reaction from the Commander-in-chief of the country who is one of the three highest authorities of the country. And her mother who is a internationally renowned fashion designer.
"Hello Dad...Mom..." Xia Liena softly told her parents, hoping to soothe their horrified expression with her gentle tone.
The couple snapped back into reality as they heard the melodious voice of their only daughter. Yet, they still couldn't get over the shock as their daughter who always talk with a robotic, cold tone seemed to have a slight warmth in them.
"When are you going back?" Again with this question. Liena sent an exasperated look to her Father as he asked this question. But her father did not seem to notice her look but instead he looked at her with innocence as if this question is the most obvious one in the whole wide world and there's nothing she could do to blame him for asking. Liena knew he was correct so she did not comment on it but ignored him and went to sit on her place.
"When there's an emergency." After settling down comfortably at the pace she used to sit, she answered her father with a lazy tone.
"What do you mean by it?" Her mother asked her this time, hoping to confirm that this was not a prank played by her daughter, but is the truth. She also loved her daughter very much, but she was never able to show it as her daughter became too estranged from her.
"I have a family and a business to lead. Some people did not do their works properly at my absence." Xia Liena answered as she eyed her father who was looking down guiltily as he was supposed to take care of Xia corporation but did not go to office half of the days as he was busy spending time with his wife. Xia Liena obviously knew that her mother would never allow him to stay at home but her father was such a good liar. He can lie through his teeth but still maintain a face full of innocence. Her mother's intelligence was no where near her father's cunningness.
"Oh." Her mother was successfully tongue tied, now understanding what her father did after looking at his reaction.
"Now, can I get everyone's attention?" Xia Liena waited for everyone to focus on her so that she can start talking as a clan leader. Everyone focused on her except her grandparents who were still busy flirting with each. Xia Liena interrupted the blooming spring there before she starting taking, "Can I get the lovebirds' attention? Old man, you are this old but you are still shamelessly flirting with your wife?"
"Hey, even if I am old, I still can make your grandmother stay in bed for 3 days." He proudly declared as her grandmother went red on her face and coldly glared at him, successfully shutting him up.
"I want to tell few things before we start the dinner. First of all, I am sorry. I apologise for being a coward and running away from my problems. I knew that I have to face them one day, but I guess I was just too unwilling to sell my freedom by accepting my responsibilities. I can do nothing but blame it on some pests and my age. I can not change the past but I promise my family and clan a better future and the best clan leader.
Second, I apologise for the estranged relationship between us. It was my fault for believing the deception but now I have a better judgement, so I promise you that I will fix this mess within the family. I would love to form a close bond with my family and I will work hard on that. Third, I will continue to lead the family business. I will return to Xia Corporation and fix all the mess that my father has created. And last but not least, I will solve every problems my family is/will be facing." Xia Liena finished this in one breath.
By the time she finished talking, she did not miss the looks of admiration that her brothers always give her. It was finally back. Her brothers are her best fans. They loved her yet at the same time, they respected, admired and feared her. Xia Jinsheng is normally the scary sibling. Even though he was otherworldly handsome, he was cold to anyone other than his family which gave him an impression of being scary. But apart from this, Liena is the most dangerous and coldest one on the family. She was the youngest general in history, which made her tough and cruel as she had seen many battlefields. She also has the highest IQ among the Xia family generation. People from Xia Family usually have an IQ above 200 but Xia Liena's IQ is even higher than anyone. So, she can easily analyse her opponent's move and act before them. This made her even more dangerous.
Xia Liena also received looks of appreciation and admiration from her parents and grandparents. Yet, she did feel negative looks. It was obviously from the new comers in the house.
Meng Xingran was boiling in fury as she watched Xia Liena talking to her family. She still did not know who she was, but judging by the conversation, she understood that the beautiful girl in front of her is the only daughter of the Xia family and also the clan leader. Meng Xingran knew that the whole of Xia family's power is on Xia Liena's hands and she could not help but grit her teeth in fury. She was angry that Xia Liena stole the rights which was hers.
Celeste D'Evereux and Meng Xingran studied in the same college for few months. Celeste came to Country X as a transfer student from France. And before Celeste's arrival. Meng Xingran was known as the college beauty and she had many men after her. But the moment Celeste arrived, the school beauty title was robbed away from her and she also started getting less attention from the people around her. Also, Meng Xingran was born in the Meng family.
Meng family was a nouveau rich family at that time, and Meng Xingran used to flaunt her wealth and status by wearing expensive dresses, accessories and also by acting very gentle and elegant. So she also got attention from people because she seemed rich. But Celeste's arrival shattered her reputation completely. Celeste was from the Royal family of France. She was one of the only living descendants of the D'Evereux royal family. Even the head teacher was very polite towards her. As the true royalty came to the college, Meng Xingran was seen as a wall flower and ignored completely.
Meng Xingran liked her senior, Xia Jingren and she tried every possible means to get his attention. But Xia Jingren and Celeste quickly became the ideal couple in the college. Meng Xingran went so far as drugging Xia Jingren but unfortunately, he maintained his sanity and did not touch her. Instead, he ran away from her like he had seen a ghost. That day. she drank so much in fury and slept with someone, resulting in Meng Xiuran.
Now seeing Xia Liena, the daughter of Celeste, once again standing like a block in her way of being the mistress of Xia family, infuriated her to her core.
Meng Xiuran was no better. She was insanely jealous as she saw Xia Liena being pampered and having the absolute rights to sit together with the Xia brothers. But what made her mad with jealous was not this fact but Xia Liena's looks. Unlike her completely Asian looks, Xia Liena was blessed with striking blue green, phoenix eyes, porcelain white skin, pair of red lips and a tall, high nose. Her features were sharp like the western people and was extremely attractive. Her mixed features made her peerlessly beautiful. She looked just as beautiful, or maybe more, as the four Xia brothers.
It has been her dream to be the pampered princess of the Xia family. She wanted to be also pampered by the brothers as she liked everyone of them. Everyone of her 'brothers' looked so perfectly handsome that she wanted the world to have a picture of being pampered by these four. Meng Xiuran did notice the fact that she had no resemblance with any of the Xia family but she ignored it as she thought that her 'brothers' were different because they were born to a western woman. She also though that her 'father', Alexander's green blue green eyes can not be inherited. But seeing Xia Liena made her realise how wrong she was.
While these two were boiling in fury with ugly expressions, Xia Liena and her brothers observed them with subtle, hawk eyes and glanced at each other with looks of mischief. These two are going to have a hard time as the siblings started their mischief.
