“Wei’an, why aren’t you going in since you’re already at the door?”

A concerned voice sounded behind Xia Wei’an as Xia Zhenwei walked towards her and led her inside. 

“Tianzhen, quickly pour a cup of warm water for your sister.”

Before Xia Wei’an even sat down, Xia Zhenwei had already begun ordering Xia Tianzhen around. Xia Tianzhen pursed her lips and stayed still in displeasure while Chu Mingfeng hurriedly stood up and said with a smile, “Our little meritorious girl is back!”

While speaking, she poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Xia Wei’an.

Xia Wei’an did not take it, so Chu Mingfeng smiled awkwardly and placed the cup of water on the coffee table.

‘Look how hard this family is trying to suck up to me! In the last life, they managed to get a lot of benefits from Di Xingchen by using me!’

Before Di Xingchen took a liking to her, that bunch of hypocrites showed her zero concern and would hit or berate her whenever they were in a foul mood. However, her stepmother treated her even better than her biological mother did. She was so nice to her that she would indulge her and give in to her endlessly, so much that she ended up in such a horrendous state. Later on, she finally discovered that her stepmother was out to ruin her! 

On the other hand, Xia Tianzhen was truly a pretentious girl! 

“I’m tired, I’m going back to my room, you guys make yourselves comfortable.” Xia Wei’an was too lazy to deal with them. Thus, she turned around to leave, carrying her schoolbag.

“Wait a minute, Wei’an, I have a contract here. Take some time out of your schedule to let Young Master Di sign it!” Xia Zhenwei hurriedly took out a contract from his briefcase and caught up with her. He then handed it to her. 

‘Another contract that takes advantage of Emperor Corporation and will cause the Emperor Corporation to incur losses!’

“Okay, Dad.”

She grabbed it and casually stuffed it in her schoolbag. She would never give Di Xingchen such contracts again and she merely agreed because she wanted an excuse to see Di Xingchen. 

She returned to her bedroom, and as soon as she came out of the shower, she saw Xia Tianzhen standing in front of her desk with her arms around her chest and her chin slightly raised, staring at her condescendingly. 

“Don’t think you’re on a pedestal now just because you’ve gotten with the powerful Young Master Di!”

Xia Tianzhen would say such words at least once every day, and Xia Wei’an had already gotten sick of hearing it. Usually, she would just think that Xia Tianzhen was mocking her. Apart from being angry, she would resent Di Xingchen too, but now, all she sensed was Xia Tianzhen’s jealousy. 

“Why? Are you jealous?”

Xia Wei’an rubbed her hair with a towel and chuckled. “It’s pointless to be jealous. Well, Di Xingchen chose me, not you. I’m just that lucky.”

The Di family was an aristocratic family with a thousand-year legacy and deep roots. They owned businesses in various industries all over the world and were wealthy enough to rival a nation. 

However, such noble families were only glorious on the surface, and there was actually a lot of dirty business going on behind closed doors. For the sake of vying for assets and inheritance, some people in the family would not hesitate to do anything. When it was Di Xingchen’s generation, he was the only male heir and was in the line of succession. 

His family was very superstitious. For the sake of continuing the line of succession, Di Xingchen’s grandmother asked a metaphysics master to calculate and discovered that Di Xingchen had to marry a woman who was born in the Yin hour on a Yin day in a Yin month of a Yin year, in order to give birth to an heir who would continue the line of succession. 

There were many women who were born at that time, but Xia Wei’an’s birth characters were the most compatible with Di Xingchen’s. That was the reason that Di Xingchen suddenly went to the Xia family and asked for her hand in marriage.

Xia Tianzhen was very surprised by Xia Wei’an’s reaction. In the past, she would have started cursing about Di Xingchen and find it embarrassing. ‘Why does she seem so proud now?’

“Damn it! Xia Wei’an, you were bought back by someone with money, what do I have to be jealous of? It’s a pity that Chenyang doesn’t know about it yet. If he does, he’d hate you even more!” 

Hearing her tone, Xia Wei’an reckoned that Xia Tianzhen must have played a huge role in making Gu Chenyang hate her that much in her previous life!

Xia Wei’an stopped what she was doing and sneered, “If you weren’t jealous of me, why did you trick me into going to the headmistress’ office? You told Mr. Xu to wait there and called Di Xingchen to go there. What are your intentions? Is it because you want to make Young Master Di feel disgusted with me, and then, you will take my place?”
