Reincarnation: From Opressed Missy to Campus Belle

“You look gorgeous, “The man gave her a hug and said, “Like always. Congratulations on clearing the bar exam.”

An Xiulan’s smile widened and her dimples become visible. “Thank you, classmate. You are my lucky charm.”

He heaved out a sigh and went on, “We are no longer classmates now. And I should be compensated well to wake in the middle of the night to check your result.”

Nobody in her family knew that last month she flew to China to appear for the bar exam and the same night she returned to Boston. It was not that she didn’t want to go home. It was just that she has too many things to handle here and if she had gone home, she would not be able to leave.

An Xiulan offered him a rare wide smile. “Thank you so much.”

“Hi, Handsome, “Jiang Yao appeared at the door. She was wearing some fancy clothes that she always did and looked like a diva. She had a habit of dressing as if she was doing a runway show. Her mantra was simple: Dress as if you are walking on a runway. What was the use of money if she couldn’t even wear fancy clothes all the time? In short, she was extravagant most of the time.

“Miss Jiang, “Li Sicheng gave her a stiff nod.

“You are no fun, “Jiang Yao said and walked inside as if she was just bored. This man was as boring as ever. Then again, Baby Xiulan had all the boring people as her friends. It was only her. The only and only Goddess Yao to add spice and twist to the bland life of Baby Xiulan.

An Xiulan and Li Si Cheng walked inside talking about something. When he took the seat, she went inside to bring glasses of wine while Jiang Yao approached him.

“Confess already. She is going back home, “Jiang Yao warned him. She looked as strict as a teacher at this moment.

“Umm, what?” Li Sicheng asked her in confusion.

“See, this is why I don’t find you interesting, “Jiang Yao tsked. “If you were brave enough, you would have been long married by now. My baby Xiulan will have babies of her own.”

Li Sicheng didn’t say anything but the red tips of his ear betrayed his cold facade. He took the water glass and had a sip of water. The doorbell rang again, He stood up, “I will open the door.”

“Eager to open the door for your boss?” Jiang Yao teased him. “Haven’t you seen him in the office today?”

Of course, she knew that he was running away from her interrogation. If he kept on running like this, how was he going to express his feelings to An Xiulan? What a scaredy cat! Seemed like she had to do something about this.

Li Sicheng didn’t reply to her. He went to open the door. When he opened the door a handsome and tall man stepped inside and Jiang Yao sighed as if she was troubled already.

When the man’s gaze met her, he heaved a similar sigh too.

“Hello, partner. Your dazzling presence bedazzled me again, “Jiang Yao winked at him. She loved to get on his nerves.

“Partner?” Han Nanxian narrowed his eyes at the nutcase woman. Someone, remind him again why he thought she wouldn’t try to pull out a scene again? He could feel the wheels of her evil brain swirling.

“Of course, aren’t we partners? I am an investor in that lipstick company your investment company is investing in, “Jiang Yao replied with a wide smile. Quite a long relationship they had but it’s still there, right? She went on to say, “How many makeup companies have I invested with you? I can’t keep a track of it. By the way, work hard and get me more returns. Maybe, I will be a multimillionaire one day because of your hard work.”

“And here, she was crying about being broke, “An Xiulan returned from the kitchen. She looked at Han Nanxian and gave him a wave, “Hi, teacher. We meet again.”

“Heard you are going back, “Han Nanxian asked as he took a seat on the dining table where she was pouring wine for the four of them.

“Are you sad, Teacher? Will you miss me?” An Xiulan teased him.

Han Nanxian rolled his eyes. “Stop being cheeky. And go home already. What’s in this country anyways?”

He had been telling her for so long to go home but she didn’t listen to him. Finally, she was returning to China, just like she belonged. He had never expected that she would stay here for this long. He could have expected it from anyone but her. However, it seemed he had underestimated her courage.

“You hate this country yet you aren’t willing to go back, “An Xiulan said with a sigh. “Teacher, you are an enigma. I can’t understand you sometimes.”

She could say that she and this man were friends for seven years now. When she came to Boston, she reconnected through Han Zixin. It was Han Zixin’s orders to Han Nanxian to take care of her. She could say that she was the reason why the problems between Han Nanxian and Han Zixin had smoothened. It was not hidden from anyone that Han Nanxian was a bro-con and he did his best taking care of his little brother’s best friend in a foreign country. Moreover, An Xiulan was always a likeable and adorable kid. It didn’t take long for him to befriend her. She became his friend and the rest is history.

When An Xiulan saw a gift on the table, she said, “You got me a farewell gift?”

“This is not for you, “Han Nanxian suddenly said. “Can you give her in person?”

“Why not send her under my name again like you do every time?” An Xiulan questioned. “Sometimes, I don’t understand you old people. All you have to do is go to Shanghai and beg her to forgive you.”
