A Miao placed herself in front of Zhou Xiao . "This is my friend . If you don't have anything nice to say, don't show up in front of us . "
"What gives you the right to dictate that?" Xia Mei sneered . "This is my home! Do you trust that I'll go and get someone to throw her out?"
"Very well . Go ahead and do it!" A Miao looked in the direction of the second floor . "Ruin Xia Wan's banquet and let's see who'll be the disgraced one in the end!"
Xia Mei's expression changed . Truly, she had no courage to do so . She clenched her teeth . "Hey! You’d better be honest! If I catch you stealing things, I'll send you to the police station!" After threatening Zhou Xiao, she shot A Miao a glare before turning around to leave .
Downstairs, Xia Wan appeared in the crowd with people surrounding her . Xia Yongqiang was currently introducing her to everyone . A Miao quietly brought Zhou Xiao to a corner of the hall . They sat down and began enjoying the light refreshments . Zhou Xiao saw how A Miao was focusing her attention on the dance floor and pondered over it before finally speaking .
"A Miao, you don't have to accompany me . You're also one of the hosts today . Go and speak to your guests!"

"This family has nothing to do with me . " A Miao's mouth twitched .
"I'll excuse myself for just a short while . Be careful . " She really must go over but it was not to entertain the guests .
Zhou Xiao nodded . "Don't worry . I'll stay here and won't go anywhere!"
Seeing that Zhou Xiao did not seem afraid, A Miao left with a peaceful mind . She slowly made her way near Xia Yongqiang .
"Mr . Shen, I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time . I'm very glad that you're able to attend my birthday banquet!" Xia Wan revealed a clean smile at Shen Xinglan . Inside, she quietly sighed over how good looking he was .
Bai Youran and the other young masters were no match for him at all . She was determined to marry Shen Xinglan!
"You're welcome . " Shen Xinglan was still wearing a neutral expression . Seeing that his expression did not change, Xia Wan felt somewhat clueless .
The starlet next to Shen Xinglan smiled at her . "Happy birthday, Ms . Xia!"
"Thank you!" Xia Wan returned a courteous smile all while carefully observing the woman . Besides her pair of beautiful eyes, there was no part of her that could rival Xia Wan .
This boosted her confidence a little . Just as she was about to invite Shen Xinglan for a dance, everything before her eyes suddenly darkened .
"Ah!"
"What happened?"
"A blackout?"
Chaos immediately erupted inside the hall . The sound of women's screeches and chinaware falling to the ground resounded here and there .
Xia Haixin quickly turned on his phone to placate everyone . "I'm very sorry! We have neglected it . Please be patient . The servants have already gone to fix the fuse wire!" He stood atop a chair and shouted . Xia Yongqiang darkened his face, sitting aside . It was a great embarrassment to have a blackout on such an important occasion .
The guests gradually calmed down . The men all turned on their lights on their phones .
"Grandfather, did you see Mr . Shen?" Xia Wan noticed that Shen Xinglan had disappeared .
Xia Yongqiang said in a displeased tone, "Where do I find him in such darkness? Once the light comes on again, you must find an opportunity to talk to him . "
Behind him, A Miao was slowly creeping over . She was so close to coming into contact with Xia Yongqiang .
"What are you doing? Let me go!" The sound of Zhou Xiao's voice drifted from the corner of the hall . Even though it was so noisy inside the hall, A Miao still heard her friend's voice because she had been keeping her eye on the corner all along . She whipped her head around .
Under the dim light, she saw Xia Mei clasping her hand over Zhou Xiao's mouth and dragged her out . . .
