Chapter 48: Gentle Like Water

Leng Yan: “…”

Wasn’t the decision supposed to be his?

Liar!

Looking at Leng Yan who was hugging his car as though he was going to sell his wife, Xu Jiayang was utterly embarrassed.

“Just go through the motions. Isn’t it just a car?”

Leng Yan turned around, tears streaming down his face.

“It’s not even your car. Of course you don’t feel anything for it! But I spent 90 million dollars and so much effort refitting it! And you’re selling my wife for your own benefit? How did I get to know such a liar and cheater like you? I want to cut all ties with you, Xu Jiayang!”

“…” Xu Jiayang said amusedly, “You already cut all ties with me three times last month.”

When Leng Yan kissed the tires for the third time, Xu Jiayang could no longer stand his actions any further, and snatched him away like an eagle abducting a chick.

How embarrassing.

Too embarrassing.

Because Xia Weibao had drunk wine that night, she did not feel sleepy at all. And so, she crawled out of bed.

She took a small notebook from the drawer, reading through all the information in it.

The more she read, the more she furrowed her eyebrows.

These were the results of her observations in the past few days. She had kept records of all the servants in the Lu household.

But what troubled her was that there was nothing unusual about any of them. They were all just doing their jobs.

So who was it that pushed Xia Weibao down the stairs?

Although the body of the original owner was not exactly normal, she could not have been so foolish as to roll down the stairs to her death, could she?

Besides, although her memory was a little hazy, she could vaguely remember that someone had pushed her from the back. That was why Xia Weibao fell.

Not only that, but Xia Weibao had not actually died after falling down. She had only died after someone pressed down on her head and viciously smashed it against the floor.

But she was a lunatic. Who would try to kill her?

She had tried to find an excuse for Uncle Fu to find the surveillance camera records from that day. But Uncle Fu replied that the records had suddenly broken and that there were no records!

That confirmed her suspicions. The original owner had been murdered!

Being framed and then murdered. Who in the world had this original owner offended?

The empress was highly disturbed. She did not have a good understanding of this world, making it even harder to do anything.

This also strengthened her resolve to accept a few lackies.

If she had a team of guards who specially worked for her like in her past life, it would be much easier to get things done.

As she was still deep in thought, the telephone rang. It was her manager Sister Tong.

“Baby, are you asleep?”

Xia Weibao: “…”

I’m speaking to you. Do you think I’m asleep? She thought incredulously.

“Not yet. Is anything the matter, Sister Tong?”

“The company managed to help you get a place in the finals of ‘Dancing Into The Future’. It’s a rare opportunity that you must grab hold of!”

“The finals of ‘Dancing Into The Future’?”

Xia Weibao frowned. That name was a little familiar…

That’s right, while she was at Brilliant Bar, didn’t Lin Mier say that her classical royal dance was for the finals of “Dancing Into The Future”? So that’s what it is.

“Exactly. ‘Dancing Into The Future’ is currently the hottest and most authoritative dance competition. The chief judge of the competition is the national treasure and dancer, Yin Mulan. With Teacher Yin as a judge, you can imagine how high the standards of this competition are. It’s practically a professional and national level dance competition! This is such a great opportunity. You have to prepare well for it. Oh, do you have any type of dance that you’re good in? I have to clear it with the producers.”

Xia Weibao thought about it for a while. Would Lin Mier kill herself out of anger if she were to perform the classical royal dance as well?

But…

“Gentle Like Water.”

As soon as she finished saying that, she fell into a silence.

Suddenly, she missed that bast*rd emperor…
