1452 Without a Trace
“Who knows if it’s her family members who gave her this thing? It might be from the man at the door that day! Some people look cool and aloof on the surface, but who knows what despicable things they can do behind everyone’s back!” Li Hua said.
“You’d better watch your mouth!” Bai Dian said as she glared at Li Hua.
“Did I say who it is? Did I say this person’s name? Why are you able to make the connection! Don’t tell me you have a guilty conscience!” Li Hua said softly.
Xia He patted the dust off the bottom of her skirt with a cold expression on her face. She put away her training clothes and dancing shoes and locked them in the cabinet. Then, she carried the clutch bag which Qiao Mei made for her and stood in front of Li Hua.
“Everyone knows very well who you’re talking about. Don’t pretend to be clueless. You may be a fool, but no one else is. This is the second time you’re spreading false rumors. If there’s a third time…” Xia He poked Li Hua in the shoulder fiercely and said, “I’ll make sure you die and disappear without a trace!”
Li Hua sneered and said, “Heh! Who are you trying to scare! Do you dare to kill me?”
“Then make a guess whether I dare to do it or not,” Xia He said after staring into Li Hua’s eyes for a long time. It made Li Hua break out in cold sweat.
Xia He’s stare was like that of a cheetah on the hunt and she was the prey targeted by the cheetah. No matter how she tried to escape, she would not be able to escape Xia He’s grasp.
Xia He did not continue to argue with Li Hua and turned to leave the changing room. Li Hua was so frightened by Xia He that her legs went weak and she collapsed to the floor. Xiao Nan and the rest also got off work one after another.
As soon as Xia He left the building, she saw Song Dan waiting near the door. He was wearing a white suit with a red rose in the breast pocket of his suit and holding a huge bouquet of red roses in his hand. Xia He pursed her lips in disdain.
It was not that his clothes did not look good, nor was it the flowers in his hands which did not look good. Xia He could tell at a glance that the clothes were made by an established brand in the capital. The material used was also good quality silk, but it was just that this person… was not suitable for this suit.
Song Dan was very tanned and also not very good-looking, so when he wore white clothes, it made him look even more tanned and highlighted his shortcomings. If Song Dan walked about in the dark, everyone would probably only see a white suit moving around. They would not be able to see the person wearing the suit and would think that there was a ghost around!
“Xia He! You’re finally here! Let’s go now!” Song Dan said happily.
“Erm… didn’t I say that I would go on my own?” Xia He said helplessly.
“But I really want to come and fetch you. Consider this my apology to you. You haven’t allowed me to make it up to you for what happened last time,” Song Dan said.
Xia He could feel goosebumps appearing all over her body. She had a fiancé now. If she took Song Dan’s car, she might find herself being the subject of rumors. It was better for her to find her own transport.
However, before she came out today, she did not inform the Xia family’s chauffeur about this event nor did she have time to tell Qiao Mei. How was she going to find her own transport now?
Just as Xia He was hesitating, the Xia family’s car suddenly appeared from afar and stopped in front of her. Chen Mu, dressed in a neat black suit and wearing white gloves, got out of the car elegantly and stood in front of Xia He. He bowed slightly and said, “Eldest Miss, I’m here to pick you up.”
Although this opening line sounded very awkward, the corners of Xia He’s mouth only twitched slightly as she said, “Alright… let’s go.”
Chen Mu helped Xia He into the car, then he turned around and said to Song Dan, “Mr. Song, we’ll take our leave first. Goodbye.”
“Wow… Who is this handsome guy?” Xiao Nan said as she looked at Chen Mu with stars in her eyes.
“This must be the Xia family’s chauffeur. I remember that Xia He’s brother has a designated driver,” Bai Dian said.
“The Bai family is a good friend of the Xia family after all. Have you been to the Xia family residence before? My elder brother and Brother Xia are colleagues. Don’t tell me you know more about these things than me?” Bai Dian said as she rolled her eyes.
Li Hua was rendered speechless by the retort.
Song Dan stood rooted to the spot and clenched his fists. This was the first time he had been humiliated like this. With his current status in society, many women would want nothing more than to pounce on him. Only Xia He ignored him and even mocked him.
Song Dan swore in his heart that he would definitely get his hands on this woman, Xia He! He would do it no matter the cost!
