Batter My Heart,Mr Xi (Book 2)

Chapter X

After leaving the room, Yang Zhilan felt her head throbbing once more. It was starting to get absurd. But she had started to see a pattern. The moment she was in vicinity to some people, the headache will spring up and by some people she meant Mr Xi.

She noticed anytime she was in the same space as him or saw him, the symptoms would start immediately she left. Was there something to it?

Immediately she returned to her seat, Sister Xin and Wu Shanshan her desk mates could not help but jest.

" So, how was the errand?" Sister Xin snickered and Wu Shanshan joined.

" Haha. It was great. I actually got to meet Best Actor Quan Fumin and model Shen Hui in the same room as Mr Xi. They seem to be acquainted" She said proudly.

Wu Shanshan gasped, " You met Quan Fumin and model Shen Hui. I'm jealous!"

"Me too. Damn you Zhilan! I'm having the bag brand she modelled for last month ." Sister Xin emphasized pouting and raised up the said bag.

Yang Zhilan smirked and pulled her tongue out in triumph with a peace sign.

" At least tell me you were able to sneak in a picture?" Sister Xin said sourly.

" I didn't expect them to be there . Besides, what was weird was Shen Hui. She stopped me and claimed I looked like someone called Linxue. Even Mr Xi called me that the first time I met him face to face. I try not to think about bit this is the second time I've been called that and it even ignited such a weird reaction from Best Actor."

Both Wu Shanshan and Sister Xin had perplexed expression on their faces as if trying grasp what she just said.

Sister Xin then asked, "Did you say Linxue?"

"Mhmm. Do you know anything about who that is?" Yang Zhilan asked suddenly anxiously for some reason. She didn't know where she came from or who she was before she became Yang Zhilan. Maybe this could help her.

" Well I barely mingled with people of in high society in these thirty-two years of my life-" Sister Xin started,

"Wait, you're thirty-two?!" Wu Shanshan exclaimed in shock.

" Yes, why? I look younger?" Sister Xin touched her hair flirtingly.

" I thought you were older." Wu Shanshan laughed.

" Why you brat!" She threw a file at her, one that Wu Shanshan caught easily.

" Don't mind her Sister Xin. You clearly look younger. Can we please go back to the topic at hand?"

" Right. As I was saying, though I barely hung out with high society despite my Uncle's family's status , the name Linxue is familiar."

" How?"

" Well, she is Mr Xi's deceased fiancée from the Wang family. The Wang family used to be one of the most prestigious families in China but as the saying goes , 'The higher one rises the harder one falls ' The Wang family was swept under a rug and is barely talked about anymore."

Mr Xi had a fiancée? That was quite normal in rich families but one thing wasn't clear.

" How did his fiancée die again?" She inquires.

" I don't know. It never really came out. I only heard she died young and Mr Xi travelled abroad a while later for his studies."

" Oh, I see ." Yang Zhilan deflated.

"Well, if you look at it this way, you clearly look like his dead fiancée and that would be a bit weird for anyone. You should not appear in front of him so much.'' Wu Shanshan gave her opinion with a shrug.
