What does this mean?

"So, what do you think about the place?" as the agent smiles at them. Xia Xi and Zhao Yi look and scan the whole place, and they are satisfied with it. "We like the place a lot. But about the rent, do you think you can lower it a little more?" The agent looks at Mr. Xia who was at the very end of the corner. " The price won't go down. Do you want it? If you don't, then don't waste our time here." As he started exiting out the door, Xia Xi ran up to him. "Mr. Xia, can we talk?" "Talk? I don't think you and I have anything to talk about." The agent and Zhao Yi walk up to Xia Xi. "Ms. Xia, do you still want this?" "WHY NOT!" as she said it looking at the agent.

"Xia Xi, are you really sure you don't know that Mr. Xia?" as they were walking out the building, Zhao Yi asked her again. "Of course I don't. If I knew him, then I would've known right away." As they departed, the agent suddenly ran up to them. "Ms. Xia, Mr. Xia said he wants to see you." ���Me?" "He said he has the contract with him and told you to meet up with him at Zhen Ting Cafe." The agent turned to leave and left Xia Xi and Zhao Yi. "I'm coming with you." Xia Xi shakes her head, "Just go home first, I'll see what he wants. Don't worry." Xia Xi halts a cab and gets in.

In less than 20 minutes, Xia Xi arrived outside of Zhen Ting Cafe. She couldn't see if he's there yet since it's pack by people. She pushes the door open and walks in. Her eyes scan everywhere and checks where he is. But she couldn't find him. She kept walking further in, but didn't see anyone. As she was about to take out her phone to call the agent to confirm, someone forcely grabbed her arm.

It is Mr. Xia that grabbed her and he brought her upstairs of the cafe where there are less people. "Excuse me, let go off me," as Xia Xi stares at him sternly. He let go of her arm and went to sit down. Xia Xi took the seat in front of him and sat down. "So, you said you want to see me. I'm here now, so say it fast please. I'm busy." He slowly sips on his coffee and stares right up at her. "I'm not in a rush though, and plus it's not me who is rushing to rent the studio out." He smiles at her which makes Xia Xi want to roll her eyes. He took out the contract and gave it to Xia Xi. "Handing over the studio to you it's fine for me, but you have to follow the rules that are said in the contract. Xia Xi opened it and carefully read it. Everything seems fine, but except for one rule.

"Have to promise me three things." Xia Xi is so confused by this rule and looks back at Mr. Xia. "May I ask you what this last rule means?" "It means what it means." Xia Xi's eyebrows furrowed. "May I ask who you are? I don't mean just Mr. Xia. Who exactly are you?" Mr. Xia took out his glasses and put them on. "You want to know who I am ? I'll tell you then. I am your older brother, Xia Dong Ming."

"Older brother?" Xia Xi tries to dig back in her memories, but she can't remember that she even has an older brother.

"Well, to be more exact, I'm not really your older brother. Anyway, you don't have to treat me like your brother or even as a family. You are just my client and that's all for now." He picks up his coffee and slowly sips another. Xia Xi stares back at the contract, "What are the things that I have to promise you?" "I don't know yet. But when the time comes, I'll tell you. And don't worry, it's nothing serious like selling you away or killing you."

Everything is making Xia Xi confused, and she isn't sure if she could trust him. "Is he really my brother?" as she thought to herself while giving him a wry look. She took out a pen and flipped to the last page. As she was about to sign it, she suddenly hesitated. "This isn't a trap right?" He looked at her and laughed, "I'm a business person and not a swindler." Xia Xi stares at him for a really long time to make sure this is not a lie, and then finally picks up her pen and signs her name. After signing both, she took one copy and walked out of the cafe.

As she starts walking, the sky starts drizzling rain. "How come these rains never stopped," as she got frustrated at what Xia Dong Ming did to her. She tries to hail a cab, but all of them are occupied. As she quickly walked to the nearest train station, the rain got heavier. She started to run and put her bag over her head. She finally got to the train station, and took out her subway card. "Where's my ring?" as she looks through her bag. She got the card out, but couldn't find her ring. This ring is very important to her, even though she didn't know where she got this ring from, or who gave it to her. All she knows is hers because it has her name written on it, and another signature next to it. The ring was connected with a necklace because she was planning to bring it over to Han Chen to see if he knows anything about it. But she was in a rush in the morning, so she just threw it in her bag. She walks out the exit and walks back out the train station.

The rain is still pouring outside, but Xia Xi didn't care. "I must've dropped it while running," as she thought to herself. She checks every slot, every corner, and sides. But she couldn't see it. Her hair and body is drenched from the rain, but she didn't plan to stop looking. She walked back where she walked before, and kept looking. People who walk by her, stare at her.

It's been 15 minutes already since she was looking for it. The ring could've been picked up by someone or even washed away. That is what Xia Xi inner thought is telling her, but she doesn't want to think it that way and keeps searching for it. She slowly got back to where she started, which was Zhen Ting Cafe. As she was about to give up, someone stood in front of her and held out the necklace with the ring on it. "Are you looking for this?" Xia Xi looked at it and smiled. "Yes, this is mine. Thank you." She took it and looked up to see who gave it to her. Standing in front of her was Lei Kai Xuan and behind him was who she just had a meeting with, Xia Ming Dong.
