Chapter 656: It was a coincidence

Chapter 656: It was a coincidenceRuiling cocked her brow and shrugged. "Not nice to meet you though."

Tian Ming widened her eyes.

Did Bro just call her Zhao Ruiling? Zhao...she gasped in shock.

She is from the Zhao family?

Tian Guo smiled. "I understand. My sister caused you a lot of trouble. You wouldn't want to see us. But I sincerely apologize on her behalf."

"Bro!" Tian Ming exclaimed in frustration. "I didn't cause any trouble! She snatched the dress away from me. Just because she is from the Zhao family, does it mean that she can do whatever she pleases!?"

Ruiling chuckled. "Wow. Now that you know that I am Zhao Ruiling, your words suddenly changed. Whatever I please? So you admit that your family is beneath us and that gives me the power to do whatever I please."

"You..."

"Mingming, enough. You're acting too spoiled lately," Tian Guo warned.

"Bro. Why are you taking her side instead of your sister!?"

Ruiling yawned. "Maybe he seems to have more brains than you. And enough. I don't want to waste my time on spoiled brats. I have also lost the mood to buy this dress."

She smiled and dropped the dress on the floor. "Pick it up. It's all yours. Don't worry. I am not so petty as to fight over a dress. My brother can give me much more luxurious dresses than this one."

Tian Ming saw the dress on the floor and her face reddened with humiliation.

She wants me to pick this dropped dress!?

"You!!"

Tian Guo anxiously intervened. "Miss. Zhao. I am really sorry-"

She snapped back at him. "If anybody has to apologize, it's her. But you keep doing that and that's why she acts like a spoiled princess. You are not letting her take responsibility for her words and actions. Also, stop talking to me. I know you are sucking up to me because you are afraid that the Zhao family would retaliate against you. We won't. At least if your sister stops bothering me."

Tian Guo quickly smiled. "Of course Mianmian won't do that anymore." He eyed his sister and gave her a warning to stop once and for all.

She slightly stiffened and bit her lip hard.

You bitch!

Tian Guo said, "I will definitely make Mianmian reflect on her mistake. Miss. Zhao. As an apology, how about I take you for a cup of coffee? Please. It's on me."

She sneered. "No thanks. I don't need her apology and I don't need your coffee either. The only thing you should do is not let her offend me again. I let go once. Not all the time. I am not that kind-hearted." She turned on her heels and left.

He is such a doting father...her mouth twitched.

"Cheng Xinyue is."

Her eyes widened. "He is?"

Wei nodded. "He is gathering all the information. Then the Mafia will detain him."

"I see."

Lihua said, "You should be careful. That Tian family is shady. First the father and now his daughter too. Stay away from him."

She chuckled. "You worry too much sister-in-law. It was just a coincidence today. It's not like I will meet them again."

—

But fate had other plans as they met again. Ruiling was on her way to the Cheng residence to meet Cheng Mei and Cheng Ling. Cheng Ling wanted to show his new garden to her and also secretly scoop out information about how far Xinyue was in making her his girlfriend.

"Such a coincidence to Miss. Zhao," he smiled.

Ruiling narrowed his eyes. "Sure it was a coincidence yesterday. I don't think it's today."

What does he want? Is he thinking of currying a favor from my family through me?

Tian Guo sincerely said, "Miss. Zhao. I really feel bad for what happened yesterday. Mingming's behavior was unwarranted. Dad is really busy with work these days and he doesn't get time to spend with her. That's why she was so cranky. But of course, that doesn't justify her actions. I just hope that you forgive her. Mingming also realizes her mistake."

She sneered.

"Is that so? Then why don't I see her right now and hear her say sorry? Oh, maybe she is invisible?"

He cleared his throat.

"Heh. If I realize my mistake, I personally apologize. But it seems that your sister has a different definition of giving an apology~" she smirked.

"Miss. Zhao, please let me make it up to you. How about I take you shopping that you couldn't do yesterday? It's the least I can compensate for."

Ruiling was about to disagree but then a thought crossed her mind.

Xinyue is investigating his father, right? If I go with him, maybe I will learn something about the deals...

She decided and then smiled. "Why not meet three hours later?"
