Sweet Beloved Reborn

Although Xu Ningzhou had been back from abroad for a couple of months, he was rather secretive in his trace during the National Day Holiday. The people who were eager to welcome him back just couldn’t find him anywhere.

After they had finally found Xu Ningzhou, these rich people invited him to spend the vacation in a private secluded resort right away.

Normally those men would bring lots of men and women with them. However, this time they didn’t bring any other people who didn’t belong to their circle by tacit understanding. On the private beach, those rich guys prepared lots of food materials for barbecue.

However, clearly those young masters who were accustomed to leading an easy life with everything provided for them only got everything in a mess.

While Xiang Yan was on Weibo, he suddenly cursed, “Damn.”

His buddy skewering the meat beside was startled and pricked his hand. Then this man said in a helpless tone, “My super star, can’t you put your cell phone down when you are on vacation?”

Xiang Yan glimpsed at the mutton kabob in his buddy’s hand with a disdainful look.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Xu Ningzhou brought over two cans of beer in a black vest and beach shorts. He kicked Xiang Yan with his bare foot and said, “You are the only one doing nothing now.”

“Humph.” Xiang Yan leaned to one side and still stood there. Seeing him still checking his phone, his buddy approached to look at his screen. Then he found Xiang Yan was glancing over the super topic #the hierarch Qinghuan #, so he teased, “Hey, isn’t this my girlfriend Qinghuan? Dude, don’t touch my girl!”

“Go to hell!” Xu Ningzhou kicked that man and cursed with a smile, “Go look at your reflection by the sea.”

The man chuckled, not taking those words seriously.

Xu Ningzhou put down the beer and took out his cell phone from the pocket of his shorts. After that, he opened his album and clicked on the photo of him and Song Qinghuan. With the corner of his mouth curled up, he waved his phone to that man complacently and said, “Watch it clearly, this is my girlfriend.”

The man, “…”

Xiang Yan, “…

The man had only wanted to make a joke. Little did he know that Xu Ningzhou would chime in. While the man was in great shock, Xiang Yan squinted his eyes and asked, “Are you serious?”

Xu Ningzhou took a bite on the roasted kabab and nodded, saying, “Have I ever joked about something like this?”

“Damn it!”

That man stopped skewering the meat and shouted loudly, “Everybody, gather around, the iron tree is in blossom!”

“Shoot, so you are off the market without any sign! How can you do this to your single buddies!”

This man did have a loud voice. All the people on the beach were all attracted here and rushed to Xu Ningzhou. Some of those guys even jumped on Xu Ningzhou’s back and hooked the latter’s neck, taunting him, “Well done, Brother Xu, how can you not tell any of your friends about such a big thing?!”

Someone that knew nothing about the story cried, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, our Mingyue finally gets to be with her prince charming! Why didn’t you two tell us?”

“Since when? No wonder the two of you sat in the same car yesterday.”

“??” Xiang Yan got dazed right away, thinking, ‘I was also in that car yesterday. Are you blind?’

“No,” Seeing there were more people kicking up a fuss, Xu Ningzhou knocked the drink bottle to quiet everyone and said, “You guys drank fake wine or something? Who told you my girlfriend is Mingyue?”

“Huh?” Someone finally came back to his sense and looked at Xiao Mingyue who had been pushed forward. Now it seemed a bit awkward.

Under everyone’s gaze, Xiao Mingyue who had seemed bashful before only wore a pale face now while looking at Xu Ningzhou with tears in her eyes.

Xiao Mingyue was the princess of the Xiao Family, the sister of Xiao Mingyang who was also one of Xu Ningzhou’s best friends. She loved to follow Xu Ningzhou everywhere since her childhood. Everyone in their circle knew that she was fond of Xu Ningzhou.

Xu Ningzhou patted on the head of the man who had shouted vigorously and said, “The only thing you like to do is creating a disturbance. Mingyue is Mingyang’s sister. I regard her as my sister too. As for my girlfriend…” Xu Ningzhou turned on the screen of his phone and showed off that photo around, “Watch it clearly. Don’t mix her up with anyone else again.”

His movement was so quick that everyone only saw a girl in an ancient red costume. Before they could have a close look, Xu Ningzhou turned off the screen.

“!!!”

“Wait! I haven’t seen her face clearly!”

“Why did you hide her photo so quickly! Show us which gorgeous woman has conquered this eligible bachelor.”

“Hey hey hey, don’t you guys feel that Brother Xu is like a proud peacock? Looks like he needs a spanking!”

Those guys changed the subject right away. Someone had joked about the relationship between Xu Ningzhou and Xiao Mingyue before, but at that time Xu Ningzhou had still been a single man.

Now things were different now, Xu Ningzhou had shown a negative attitude toward that kind of joke. Then his friends who were very sensible would stop joking about him and Xiao Mingyue from now on.

Xiao Mingyue bit her lips, seeming quite aggrieved with tears welling up in her eyes. Then she turned around and walked out of the crowd. When seeing her brother walking toward her, she threw herself to his arms right away.

Xiao Mingyang patted on his sister’s back while squinting his eyes to look at Xu Ningzhou who was the focus of the crowd.

…

In the Song Family.

Old Lady Song praised Song Qinghuan in front of everyone and claimed bluntly that the younger members in the family should all learn from Song Qinghuan.

Those teenagers echoed the old lady’s words tamely but actually hated Song Qinghuan very much inwardly.

Before, they had lived under the influence of Song Mingxiu. Now it was Song Qinghuan’s turn to make them feel bad about themselves. Those teens were all in the rebellious stage of their lives. The more the old lady praised Song Qinghuan, the more they detested the latter.

‘I’ve done a good job too. I’ve worked very hard. Why? Why should I be inferior to Song Qinghuan?’ They thought.

The old lady made lots of enemies for Song Qinghuan unintentionally again. Now it was harder for Song Qinghuan to fit in with the family.

Right at this moment, Nanny Wu came into the room with a sullen look. There was a huge envelope which had nothing written on the surface in her hand.

This envelope showed up in the letter box in front of the villa.

Normally, people didn’t like to see an anonymous envelope, because it would cause a panic.

“My Lady.” Nanny Wu walked over to the old lady and handed over the envelope, “A servant found this just now.”

The smile on the old lady’s face faded away. Then she looked around at everyone with her hand on her walking stick.

The splendid hall fell into silence. Everyone fixed their eyes on that anonymous envelope.

Song Qinghuan, having detected that she was being watched, raised her head and looked right into Song Shuyao’s eyes.

Song Shuyao was wearing a complacent smile now, as if saying to Song Qinghuan, “You are over.”

Song Qinghuan propped her face up with one of her hands and put on a meaningful look.

Song Mingxiu who sat beside them saw the silent contest between his two sisters with his eyebrows knitted. He had a bad feeling about the thing inside of the envelope.

Once the envelope was opened, it would be known to all whether it was Song Qinghuan or Song Shuyao that would be finished.
