Ultimate Goddess System
/ Ultimate Goddess System 134 1.3.56: A Surprising Reunion
Since she lost her only chance of stealing the heart of the special target, she tried asking Xiao Taotao on how she could leave this world as she no longer had a reason to stay there. The little fairy reminded her that she couldn't leave since she accepted this mission... It was either conquer or die, both things Xiao Yunhua couldn't do.
She couldn't conquer nor did she have the guts to die like in her original life. If she pulled a stunt like that again, it would mean that she was taking the risk of losing even this. She didn't have anything to lose in her last life, but the system was her second chance. She didn't want to lose it too, no matter how many misfortunes and heartbreaks it brought her.
So she started looking for cheap places to live until she could think of a solution. When she found a suitable place on the market, she was surprised to see that it was her grandmother's old house that had been sold off long ago... Xiao Yunhua didn't know whether this was fate or on purpose, but she was happy to take it either way.
As she was making the arrangements for the house, the assistant of the real estate broker, came with the paperwork and Xiao Yunhua froze. The face of the assistant shocked her.
"Zhao Meiliang?" The assistant stopped and finally looked up. She froze when she saw the ethereal face of Xiao Yunhua and furrowed her eyebrows.
"Do I know you?" No way would she forget such a beautiful woman. Especially one that made her feel so threatened already.
Xiao Yunhua mischievously smiled, "We used to be good friends in high school." Until you backstabbed me, but Xiao Yunhua didn't say that part aloud.
"I'm sorry... I don't recall knowing you." How could she forget ever befriending such a beautiful face. There was only one perfect student in her class... "Han Yunhua!?"
Xiao Yunhua smiled elegantly at the sound of the her old name. The name with the surname of her beloved grandmother that she grew up with for eight years.
The real estate broker cleared his throat and Xiao Yunhua smiled sheepishly. Zhao Meiliang was dismissed and Xiao Yunhua quickly finished the remaining paperwork. Fifteen or so minutes later, she shook hands with the agent and he congratulated her on getting the new house.
As she was leaving, she noticed Zhao Meiliang sitting at her desk and stopped. Smiling kindly, she asked, "How have you been?"
Zhao Meiliang wanted to scowl but didn't want to gain any wrinkles nor show the girl that she wasn't well. After graduation, she had managed to study in a small university and the only decent-paying job she had found was the assistant of this real estate broker. She had gotten married to an average man and was no longer as beautiful as before despite only being in her twenties. However, the girl in front of her was glowing and extremely beautiful. Zhao Meiliang knew that such an appearance couldn't have been granted by going under the knife because it was too stunning, so it could've only meant that she was naturally growing more gorgeous. The former feeling of envy filled her heart but she ignored it and smiled back, although hers was forced.
"Pretty good, I've been here and there. You look... different." Especially her honey-colored eyes that were like specks of gold in the midst of her chocolate eyes.
Xiao Yunhua flipped her luscious hair behind her shoulder and laughed shyly, "Meiliang, I don't know whether or not that's a compliment, but I'll take it as one. I missed you!"
Zhao Meiliang didn't feel the same way but didn't say it. She did remember the reason why she didn't see her 'best friend' and her heart filled with glee. With a hint of pity, she murmured, "I missed you too... Alas, if only that incident didn't happen."
Xiao Yunhua of course knew which 'incident' she was referring to—her expulsion. She kept her calm exterior and nodded, "I didn't expect for that... I guess it was my fate." Her nonchalant smile made Zhao Meiliang fume. She had intended to bring it up to make her sad, but the woman was unbothered. But Zhao Meiliang was relieved. It meant that Han Yunhua wasn't sure who was the one responsible for the rumors and didn't bother to investigate either.
Xiao Yunhua noticed her reaction and felt smug.
Blame your fate for putting you in my path when I'm angry... Besides, you owe me a debt.
"Meiliang, let me have your number so we could catch up. It's been too long." Even though Zhao Meiliang wasn't willing, she couldn't deny and make her think that she disliked her friend. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
She nodded and gave her number and Xiao Yunhua left briefly afterwards. Out of curiosity, she went to her boss and asked what did the woman earlier purchase.
When she saw the small house, she laughed. Who cared if she was beautiful? Just looking at the house she bought, it was clear that she wasn't in the best conditions.
Her phone buzzed with a text of the reminder she had set for next week. A devilish plan began to formulate in her mind.
Quickly dialing Xiao Yunhua's number, the soft voice spoke up and Zhao Meiliang ignored the annoyance and asked pleasantly if she was free next week.
Xiao Yunhua knew that there was probably a plot behind her asking her this, but she wanted to play along to know what she was planning. "Sure!"
"Do you want to join the class reunion that's happening?"
Xiao Yunhua bit her bottom lip from chuckling out loud. So her plan was to humiliate her again? Her silence for a few seconds was taken as nervousness by Zhao Meiliang, so she insisted harder.
Finally, Xiao Yunhua agreed and they ended the call. Zhao Meiliang didn't want to resort to her childish tricks like before, but her envy got the best of her, hence she was going to have some fun like this...
