Chapter 19

'Time sure flies by when you're feeling nervous.' is what Xiu Ying was thinking as she was choosing a dress to wear. Yes, today is the day she is to meet up with the Zhang children.

She's not doing this for the attention, changing clothes no, in fact, she's doing this because she's nervous as hell. She wouldn't want to seem like she didn't care but at the same time was begging for attention.

Eventually, she decided on a flared skirt a little bit below the knee, with a long-sleeved top and for her shoes, she went with gladiator sandals. He checked herself in the mirror. 'I hope this is okay.' She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. It was going to be fine.

She sprayed on a little perfume. She didn't want the little girl to choke on her perfume. After a final check, she left her room.

She saw Li Na on her way down watching some TV. They both didn't have classes today so Li Na was just lounging around. It was awkward between them because of last night's dispute. She sighed.

Li Na saw how dressed up Xiu Ying and couldn't help but take another glance. Xiu Ying was always pretty. She never really had to try. It sometimes made her jealous. She wanted to ask where she was going but didn't know how since she had blown up on her last night.

'She was probably going to get groceries or something.' Li Na shrugged and faced the TV. Xiu Ying came out of the kitchen and took her car keys. As Xiu Ying left the house, Li Na couldn't help but feel weird.

She felt like she was at a disadvantage for some reason. She shrugged it off. It was just the silence making her like that after all, it had been a while that she was alone at home. She continued her show.

Xiu Ying was in her car thinking of what she should do when she saw them. Should she bow or shake their hands. 'No' she couldn't shake hands with them. They just don't shake anyone's hand. She sighed. Was she thinking too much into this?

Meanwhile at the Zhang home, in a very pink room, you could see litters of dresses scattered on the floor. In the midst of the mess was a sulking ten-year-old and her maid. "Miss Weixi you still haven't found a dress to wear?"

Weixi looked up and shook her head at the maid. She looked down once more. She wanted her pretty sister to like her outfit. Maybe she should change her wardrobe. Nothing here works for some reason. She heard a knock and saw her big brother.

She ran to him and attached herself to his lower body. "Wei-ge I have nothing to wear. We will be meeting Sister Ying soon. She sniffled.

Zhang Wei looked at the mess and drove into it. He came back with a cute purple skirt and a white top. Weixi looked at the dress combination and nodded in approval. Why didn't she see this one earlier?

After wearing her ensemble, she was all ready to go. She and her big brother had left the house and Zhang Wei could see the similarities in his and his sister's actions. He would never tell anyone that he so had the same dilemma when he was picking an outfit.

He sent a telepathic apology to Aunty An, who was over the moon for once seeing a mess to clean in his house.

As their car pulled out, a navy blue car was planning to pull up into the driveway. The driver saw that the Zhang siblings were going out but they didn't look back so they couldn't see the driver.

The security guard saw the car and furrowed his eyebrows. He called out "Miss Ye. Hello, what may I know what I can help you with? " the security guard waited for her answer but Ye Ying's focus was on the car driving away.

The security was close enough so he followed her gaze and saw she was looking at the direction the car had gone. "Ah! you must have come to see the young master. Unfortunately, he and the young mistress just stepped out. Maybe another day."

Ye Ying gave a smile and waved. She drove out and the security guard whistled as he returned to his post. He didn't see that Ye Ying had immediately started to tail the car.

Throughout the car ride, Weixi was rambling about whether Sister Ying would remember her or.whether she would like her dress or whether she would play with her later. Zhang Wei patiently answered her questions as best as he could.

Not too far off behind them, but a distance she could maintain, was Ye Ying. She wasn't too bothered about being discovered because other cars are behind her driving and this is a new car. She had bought it to take Weixi for a ride so they could bond.

(ahem you mean brainwash her onto your side)

She continued to follow them and eventually saw them stop at an expensive restaurant. The restaurant wasn't too extravagant but one could tell it was expensive from the way it was designed.

She also saw a white car drive towards that place. She became confused. That car didn't look expensive in the slightest. What was it doing here? She was about to turn away from the car when she saw the person that came out and her face changed.

She frowned. She had seen this girl before. She just couldn't remember where. All she knew was that that girl gave her a bad feeling.

She waited for them to enter the restaurant before coming out of her car. She walked to the entrance but was stopped by security.

"Do you have a reservation?" one of the security men asked. She looked incredulously at him, although deep down she was embarrassed.

"Don't you know who I am?" Both security guards looked at each other and Ye Ying looked at them triumphantly. She wanted to pass through but was stopped once again by them.

"Sorry miss. No matter who you are, you need to have a reservation. Even celebrities aren't allowed in if they don't have one. We're just doing our jobs."

Ye Ying once again was embarrassed and she looked around and saw people look at her. She stomped away while hiding her face.
