Chapter 21

Ye Ying was not happy when she got home. She felt so bad today. Firstly, she couldn't see Zhang Wei, then she sees another female with him and she was denied entrance into a restaurant. Unbelievable.

She stomped her way into her house. It wasn't as big as the Zhang home, but it wasn't something to look down on either. She didn't care who was I her way and just pushed all of them away. The smarter ones would steer clear until she had left.

It seemed their young mistress had a bad day today. They flinched as she slammed the door. She fell on her bed. She thought about the girl she saw with him today.

Her dressing wasn't on par with hers so she wasn't any wealthy family's daughter. She was pretty though not as pretty as her but meh.

(Jealous bish alert)

Then she remembered seeing how comfortable they were with each other. Even she had to be reserved in front of him.

"Maybe they've been seeing each other for a long time. Why else would he feel so comfortable with her?" she muttered to herself. She still didn't realize that they weren't alone.

She heard a knock on her door but didn't answer. She thought whoever it was would take the think and leave her alone. The person knocked once again.

"WHAT!" she screamed. She really wasn't even in the mood right now.

Ye Lihua entered her daughter's room and saw her frustrated face. She immediately went to comfort her daughter. "Yingying what's wrong? what happened with the Zhangs?" she caressed her daughter's face.

Ye Ying sighed and started lamenting about her day to her mother. By the end of her explanation, her mother's face was quite ugly. She was partly satisfied that her mother shared the same thoughts as her.

(Well the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.)

Her mother sighed. "I will investigate this matter. If she is really sticking herself to that Zhang boy, then we have to put her in her place."

Ye Ying nodded. Exactly. That was how its meant to be. Her mood increased a little when her mother promised to look into it. A faint look of menace shown in her eyes, one that even she didn't notice making.

Her mom immediately got to gathering information about this girl while Ye Ying could finally rest.

Xiu Ying, who was entirely oblivious to this plan, drove home and immediately went to her room. She didn't even say hi to Li Na, who was startled by the rush of air. Li Na wondered what went on with her.

Xiu Ying wasted no time and immediately dove into studying. She couldn't let all the information she learned today go to waste. She didn't even change out of her clothes. She spent her evening correcting her mistakes.

When she was done she finally felt satisfied. At that moment, she received a call from yet another anonymous number.

She wondered what was going on and picked the call and then heard Xi Xing's voice from the receiver.

"I finally got a hold of your number. How have you been?" Xiu Ying was relieved it was someone she knew. She couldn't handle any more surprises today. "Hi, Xi Xing. I'm good thanks. Is there a problem?"

Xi Xing laughed a little and answered " you don't have to be so formal with me. Just call me Xing. I thought we were already friends. I just wanted to call remind you that we have a party to go to tomorrow."

Xiu Ying tapped her head. She was actually hoping she forgot. She really didn't want to go especially if Yifeng was going to be there. She sighed. She was thinking of giving an excuse when she heard a knock on her door.

She told Xi Xing she was going to call back in a minute and hung up. She opened her door to see Li Na standing in all awkwardness.

Her and Xiu Ying have been awkward since last night. She kept on blowing up on her. Li Na sighed. "Ying'er, I'm sorry. I was just very frustrated yesterday. I didn't mean what I said. Please forgive me. Look, there is a party tomorrow. Everyone in our class is invited. Let's go together."

Xiu Ying rose a brow. Is it the same party? She nodded and sighed. "It's okay. I just want to know what's wrong with you. You are so prickly nowadays. Is it school?"

Li Na shook her head. She didn't want to feel more guilty. In fact, the only reason she came to apologize was to get her to go to the party tomorrow. Yifeng was going to be there, and that would be a good chance for them to be together. She did feel sorry though.

"It's nothing. I was just....cranky. I really needed sleep so I was very prickly. Must be school. I'm stressed." She looked at Xiu Ying hoping for her to believe her story.

Xiu Ying looked skeptical. "NaNa aren't we best friends? Please tell me if something is wrong." Xiu Ying sighed. "When you are ready, I'm here."

Li Na nodded and forced a smile. Deep down, she felt so guilty. Should she hide Xiu Ying? She snapped out of it. There was no going back now.

"So?" she continued. "Are you coming to the party? Please come." He put her hands together in a begging gesture and waited. Xiu Ying nodded in resignation. Well, it looks like she had a party to go to.

Li Na left and she called Xi Xing back and confirmed she was coming. Xi Xing enthusiastically ended the call after that. She climbed her bed and sighed. She had been doing that a lot. She looked at the time. It was quite late. She turned off all lights and went to sleep.

It's good she did. There was a lot coming tomorrow. She needed all the sleep she could get because this event could either be good or bad.
