Lu Momo stuck her tongue out and grimaced at him. “Must I say it just because you want me to? I’m not going to stoop that low.”

She then quickly scurried away. Extremely infuriated, Tang Chao wished he could hang her up and beat her into a pulp. He grunted distastefully and chased after her.

The matter was settled then and there. Ou Lixue struggled to get up from the ground. Her face, which she treasured greatly, had become extremely swollen and all she could think about was hiding her face from the reporters.

She bought a scarf and a pair of shades which she then used to hide her face while leaving the designer store. Just as she exited the mall and was about to hail a cab, Luo Anning suddenly appeared in front of her like a spirit that popped up out of nowhere.

Ou Lixue gasped in terror and asked, “Ah! Didn’t you… didn’t you already leave?”

“Yes, but I suddenly remembered that I still have something to say to you so I came back. What’s wrong, Miss Ou? You don’t seem too happy to see me,” Luo Anning teased.

Ou Lixue was suddenly speechless. Despite feeling extremely displeased, she dared not voice her unhappiness at all.

Not to mention, she did not have anyone to support her now.

No sooner said than done, her shades and scarf were quickly ripped off by someone and cameras began flashing in her face.

Ou Lixue screamed and frantically covered her face while Lu Momo giggled and walked towards her with a receipt. She then handed the shades and scarf back to her.

“Great angle. It seems I’m rather talented in photography.”

“Why did you snap photos of me!?!” Ou Lixue barked as her shoulders quivered. She anxiously put on her shades and scarf to cover her swollen face.

“I naturally have a reason for looking for you. Come with me.” As soon as Luo Anning finished speaking, she turned around and entered a cafe beside the mall.

Ou Lixue followed her into the cafe after giving it some thought.

“Speak. Why did Young Madam Rong go through all that hassle to snap photos of me?” Ou Lixue hung her head low and tried to shun the gazes of the people around her.

“Are you close friends with Luo Xinya?” Luo Anning asked after taking a sip of coffee.

Lu Momo gestured for the waiter to serve some ice-cream and pastries which made her feel extremely delighted. She slowly enjoyed the delectable treats.

“How did you know?” Ou Lixue asked in shock.

Not many in the circle knew that she was one of Luo Xinye’s close friends. How did Luo Anning know?

“I obviously know because I’m Luo Xinya’s cousin.”

“What!?! You.. you’re Xinya’s cousin? Yet, you still… still… ” (made things hard for me)

“Are you intending to ask me why I’m treating you like this?” Luo Anning asked with a contemptuous chuckle.

Ou Lixue nodded hesitantly while Luo Anning picked up a small spoon and used it to stir her coffee gently.

Seemingly having realized something, Ou Lixue asked, “Did you intentionally make life hard for me in order to play me out because of my ties with her?”

“You’re not that stupid, after all,” Lu Momo raised her head and remained silent after saiying a sentence.

“Tell me, what do you want me to do?” Ou Lixue asked

Luo Anning smiled and said, “It’s nothing too difficult, actually. As long as you beat Luo Xinya’s assistant into a pulp and reveal the matter about her taking drugs at midnight, you’ll be done with your job. Easy, right?”

“Impossible!” Ou Lixue protested without hesitation.
