Chapter 4

Jie Min recalled that there was something suspicious about Zheng Nan, in her dreams it seemed that after Tian Xin left the family she had gotten into a relationship with Zheng Nan. She remembered her mother scoffing to her about how Tian Xin was now begging for money from Chen Guo Min even though she had already left the family.

It seemed that Zheng Nan had made the pregnant Tian Xin begged for money from her father so that he could save his business, he was also another scum who had a mistress outside. He was fine at first but then it seems money and slight power got into his head, after all he wasn't someone who had money or power in the past.

"Tian Xin… Are you together with him?" Jie Min asked, she was afraid that she had fallen too deeply in love already.

"No…" She said shyly, although she has yet to be together with Zheng Nan but it was clear as day that she was interested in him. But Jie Min just nodded her head at Tian Xin answer, she wasn't sure what to say to her to stop her from liking Zheng Nan.

She can't possibly tell her that she could foresee into the future, neither does she have any evidence that he would turn out the way her dreams said.

"Just be careful… Men, most if not majority of them are scumbags" Jie Min said as she remembered about him, that detestable human. Tian Xin who had let her infatuation for Zheng Nan and his advancement get into her head, had been given a sudden wake up call. She after all had seen the ugly side of some men at a young age, but had lost her rationality.

"Mhm, yes I will." Tian Xin mumbled as she toned down her excitement for Zheng Nan. They both headed to class and mingled with their own group of friends.

"Jie Min why did you skip school yesterday?" Jie Min looked at her best friend and desk mate, she remembers how this friend of hers-Hui Xin-, was the only friend who was trying to help her and bring her out of her torturous life but there was nothing she could do.

"I'm going to move back with my father after my birthday." Jie Min whispered not wanting to attract attention.

"You've thought it through?" Hui Xin asked, she did not even bother to ask why.

"Yup. Although, ill be moving to another area but we can still always meet up. I think I'm going to XX university (same one as Cheng Kai's)" Jie Min said.

"Then, I'll just go to XX university as well!" Hui Xin said with a leisure smile on her face.

"What?? XinXin you can't just decide like that…" Jie Min felt like she was losing brain cells, Hui Xin was extremely clingy to her and would do anything to accommodate with Jie Min.

"I can! Anyways papa's company branch is also there, I can just tell him I wish to start small and work at his branch during internship. Then, I'll study business in the same university as you!" She said nonchalantly, planning everything as she goes.

Jie Min can only sigh and shake her head at her friend's loyalty. Hui Xin was really a good friend that she must absolutely protect. Thinking back to the fact that they have a branch company set up at Town B, she must also have an apartment.

"XinXin do you have an apartment at Town B?" Jie Min asked as she scribbled down what that teacher was going through.

"Hmm, I believe so. Why?"

"Well, you see… Tian Xin's going to move out of the estate too once she reached 18, and we reconciled with each other and I don't want to leave her all alone. After all, she doesn't have any other relatives. So, I was thinking if you have an apartment you can rent out a room and you guys can share the place." Jie Min was slightly afraid that this would offend Hui Xin or cause her discomfort after all she wasn't very close to Tian Xin…

"hmm, I don't really mind. If she's fine with it then sure!" Hui Xin readily agreed, as long as Jie Min is okay with Tian Xin she'll be okay with her too.

School proceeded like every other day, before long school ended. "Min, I heard a new café have opened should we go?" Hui Xin asked excitedly.

"Of course!" Smiling they swung their bags onto their shoulder and walked out of the class. "Jie Min!" Tian Xin called out as she rushed towards her, "yea?"

"Are you going home? I heard a new café opened; do you want to go?" Tian Xin asked shyly, now that their relationship has started to improve Tian Xin wished to further their bond.

"We're going there too! You can join us" Hui Xin said as she smiled at Tian Xin. Hui Xin always had a good impression of Tian Xin as Tian Xin was nice to Jie Min but it's just that Jie Min did not like her.

Hearing Hui Xin's agreement, Jie Min nodded her head too after all it was Hui Xin who invited her if she agreed to Tian Xin's request and invited her along too Hui Xin might be unhappy. But Hui Xin was not someone who would be like that. Tian Xin's smile widened, if that was possible, after getting their agreement.

They all left the classroom and headed to the café together, on their way the three of them stood out a lot. After all they were all really pretty girls, Jie Min have long luscious black hair that was wavy and have a charming face and she has striking amber coloured eyes that she inherited from her father. Tian Xin has medium length black hair and have delicate facial features; she was the exact meaning of a soft virtuous woman. Hui Xin who have western blood in her have light brown hair with a dainty face she has cute freckles on her nose and a pair of stunning grey eye.

The three of them entered the café, causing a commotion to the customers who were inside. They're all students around the area coming to the cafe to relax after school, upon entering Jie Min spotted Zheng Nan together with his group of guy friends.

"hey look, that pretty princess just looked over here. Who do you think she's looking at?" One of the guys asked excitedly.

"You don't think she's looking at you right…" The other one snickered.

"Fuck off, I'm handsome and rich why wouldn't she look at me" He harrumphed as though he was insecure and needed to validate himself.

Hui Xin looked around the café and found an empty spot and immediately dragged the both of them over excitedly. After settling down, the three of them looked at the menu in front of them wondering what they should get.

"What are you guys getting?" Jie Min asked, unable to decide as she looked at all the delicious looking dessert.

"I really want to try everything…" Hui Xin complained.

"How about we each get something different and we can share so we can try more" Tian Xin suggested as she chuckled at Hui Xin. She felt that Hui Xin was a very pure and simple lady that would express her feelings as she will, not concealing anything.

"Yes!!" Hui Xin said excitedly. Jie Min also smiled as she looked at the child-like Hui Xin.

They ended up getting one chocolate cookie base with salted cameral ice cream, one lava cake and one strawberry parfait. As their dessert arrives, the group of annoying youngsters arrived as well. As young males, it is in them to want to brag and show off hence after Zheng Nan said he knew and was friends with Tian Xin they all decided to use this opportunity to join the girls.

"Tian Xin" Zheng Nan called out smilingly at her, seeing him come up to her surprised her.

"Zheng Nan? You're here too?" She asked as she looked at the two other guys tailing beside him.

"Yea, do you mind if we join you guys? We can all make friends." He said sweetly. Tian Xin was someone that finds it hard to say no to someone and so she looked over at the others. They shrugged their shoulders showing that they didn't care and so Tian Xin nodded her head.

Jie Min rolled her eyes in her heart, is he stupid can't he see that they were all a bunch of girls together chatting what is he trying to do by barging in. Jie Min just simply disliked this guy, Zheng Nan, but can't seem to reject them all three.

"Hi, I am Zheng Nan." Zheng Nan took the initiative and introduced himself.

"And I am Han Ze"

"I am Fu Long"

The guys started introducing themselves wanting to get to know the three beauties but they just nodded their head and doesn't seem to be interested.

"You're Hui Xin, right? You're really well-known in school for your piano skills!!" since they did not seem to want to introduce themselves it's okay, he knows them anyways, Fu Long thought.

"I'm flattered by what you say" Hui Xin said courteously.

"Should we exchange contact information?" Fu Long asked.

Han Ze looked at Fu Long and wanted to roll his eyes, that was not how he should talk to someone he just knows.

"Miss Wang right" Han Ze smiled at Jie Min as he addressed her politely.

"Yes" she nodded acknowledging him, he doesn't seem to be a brainless one she thought.

"We're actually in the same class- "he said lightly, "Were you sick yesterday?"

"oh? Yes, I had a fever yesterday…"

"And you're eating a strawberry parfait?" Han Ze said with a slight chiding tone making Jie Min slightly stunned. The spoonful of ice cream that she had scooped and ready to put into her mouth stopped. She looked at Han Ze in annoyance before she continues to eat her ice cream.

'this girl…' Han Ze thought as he looked at her actions

Jie Min looked at Zheng Nan and Tian Xin talking happily, she's still wondering if its okay to just let things go like that. Ignoring the guys, "XinXin I want some of the salted cameral…" Jie Min said cutely, only in front of sweets and food will she be like this.

Han Ze blushed as he looked at her, she sounded and looked like a cute princess wanting to be spoiled. Hui Xin looked at Jie Min as she chuckled a little before scooping her ice cream mixed with cookies and fed her.

Jie Min smiled in bliss and she groaned at how good the hot cookies tasted together with the ice cream. Jie Min then looked over at Tian Xin, and Tian Xin who saw the interaction knew that Jie Min wanted some of her lava cake. She too chuckled at fed Jie Min some of hers.

Like that the guys were quickly ignored as the girls quickly finished their dessert and decided to leave wanting to get away from the guys.

"Hey wanna come to my house?" Hui Xin asked still wanting to hang out together. Jie Min looked at Tian Xin and it was almost they had the same idea that struck them as they looked back at Hui Xin with a creepy smile.
