Xia family mansion.
*thwack*
"Pah ! So how are we going to explain this to the Ye family!" Elder Xia yelled as he banged his luxurious walking stick on the marble floor.
"Don't be mad dad, we could just ask them to take Xia Qing, she is not inferior to Jo An in beauty in anyway."old Xia said trying to fix the now flaring aged man.
"So you really think Jun Ye can be fooled you know how infamous he is for being reckless . What if he already met with your two incompetent daughters?" the old man asked as he turned to look at Xia Qing.
"Grand father is right if Jun Ye seems interested in big sis she can just have her." she said 'l still have my He Zhou.' she thought to herself.
"It's also true I met with Jun Ye once so he knows how I look and how Jo An looks." Xia Qing said as she went to hold her mother's arm.
"Mmmm!" Elder Xia hummed knowingly.
"Grandpa you know how stubborn big sis is she won't accept with just a simple....."
"I will talk to her myself." Elder Xia said before looking directly at Xia Qing and said " And you if that brat loves you let him marry you, stop a shaming my family's name."
Xia Qing felt a chill all over her body. How could expired goods smell so fresh!.... The old man's eyes were so cold to bare eye contact.

POV Jo An
Since the engagement of He Zhou which I ruined it's been just a few day .... surprisingly it was soon my my mother's birthday.
The long waited day came, I really felt happy having someone to give me a reason to wake up again.
I really need to thank that goddess if I got the chance to one day.
That good for nothing adonis Long Fei Ye's black card shinned in my eyes as I kept on thinking on what dress I should buy for my mother before taking her to a date.
Despite my mother having a brain tumor,the doctor agreed to let me take her out today after she had taken her medicine.
It's all thanks to Long Fei Ye ,he had surely brought the best to aid my mother. He sure wants to manipulate me in the future.....
Speaking of the future.... Jun Ye!
My engagement to him was due tomorrow... In my previous life,it happened that I was actually drugged by sleeping pills before being taken to that hell.
Not to mention the fact that he raped me one day wen he got drunk....that damn .....*****
I will kill him soon or later no need to dwell on that .
I walked to one of the most executive shopping mall. I slowly tugged my headsock so it would cover more of my face ,before putting my phone and the credit card in my pocket.
"She would have saved a few more to afford a dress for her dying mother."
I heard some familiar voice say , it was Xia Qing. I noticed a bunch of girls behind her through the reflection of the glass away. Fortunately ,the were going else where.
I signed and walked to the long green dress that seemed to match my mother's eyes. Why the fuck did I have to end up with the same eye color as that gun of a father I had.
I walked over to the mannequin and was about to trail my fingers on the dress when I heard Xia Qing speak. Wtf was she doing here again!?
"I Will take that."she said
"I saw it first"I snapped as I turned to look at her then the gang,then the attendant who was neatly wearing a short fitting purple skirt suit.
"Woah look who we have here?" one of the girls said .I deliberately ignored them.
"Pack it for me."I said and the girl just the same age as mine nodded and walked up to us ,just as she passed by Xia Qing ,Qing said in mockery .
"Big sis I will pay it for you as both a betrothed gift and birthday gift to mother. "
"Step mother!" I corrected.
"Don't be so bossy,just because you managed to sell your body to Jun Ye doesn't make you rich" she suddenly spat.
"pfft!"I chuckled. Did she think I was her mirror.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Young sister,"I started with a smile."My bad, step sister!" I emphasized the word 'step' as the word 'sister' barely made it's way out of my gritted teeth.
"Xia Qing,if you wanna talk talk properly. You think you took the habit of selling bodies from me ...tsk tsk!"I continued "What a pity ! I don't do that...."
"You!___"she started but I cut her short.
"Oh I remember it's a habbit for your maternal side I guess !" I exclaimed with a grin.
I loved her red face from anger.
Luckily the girl came back with the dress packed before I handed her my black card.
Don't give me that it's not mine it's for the illegitimate son of the Ye.
When she walked back ,Xia Qing deliberately tried to make the girl trip but unluckily I caught her on time.
She mumbled a thank you before straightening up and turning to Qing to apologize , When I suddenly had head rush , images Popping in my head....
It was Qing slapping the attendant.
When I opened my eyes again it I saw Qing raise her hand to slap the girl.
Fuck! I didn't realize when I stepped forward to hold Qing's hand.
"You okay!"I asked the girl, who simply gave me a nod.
I gestured for her to go before glaring at Qing .
"If you need somewhere to lash out your anger I advise to go smash Old Xia's etiquettes."I said dropping her hand and putting the card in my pocket of the sweater pant.
I will be at a bakery next...
