Reborn Girl's New Life Chapter 699 - The Keepsake

Chapter 699 The Keepsake

After the first snow, the weather in Harbor City was becoming colder and colder.

But as it was a southern city, it rarely snowed. The wet and cold weather wouldn’t last long after the rain and snow.

After deplaning, Shao Xue adjusted the scarf around her neck.

Just at that moment, she received a call from Song Yunxuan.

Shao Xue got out of the airport and answered the phone.

Song Yunxuan spoke clearly and calmly, “Remember to take the thing from the Zang Family first.”

“OK, got it.”

“And introduce yourself to her.” Song Yunxuan said with a smile.

Shao Xue nodded, replying, “OK.”

“After all, you won’t have any relatives or friends in Harbor City after you marry Luo Xi. Miss Zang will be the only and the most reliable person there.”

Shao Xue understood that Song Yunxuan was paving the way for her future life after she married Luo Xi.

She would have to come to Harbor City, a strange place, all alone. Besides, it would be a flash marriage, and she barely knew her future husband.

If there was no acquaintance, it would be hard for her to settle down.

The reason why Song Yunxuan let Shao Xue get to know Zang Linger was that she wanted Shao Xue to have more connections.

“Alright. Since you’ve deplaned, do as what I said.”

“OK. Thank you, Yunxuan.”

“It’s nothing.” Song Yunxuan replied with a smile.

Shao Xue added, “Can I see Gu Yi?”

“Yes, if there’s a chance. He should be missing you.”

In Harbor City, Gu Yi was also like being trapped in a dangerous cage as he had been looked after by those nurses and monitored by the bodyguards.

Neither could he get to know anyone reliable or live in peace.

He would feel relaxed and happy if he saw Shao Xue.

“I’ll try to find an opportunity.”

“Okay.” Song Yunxuan nodded, sighing, “You gotta act quickly. You can’t stay too long in Harbor City. Otherwise, the plan will fail if Shao Tianze knows you are there. He will make difficulties.”

Song Yunxuan explained all the interests to Shao Xue, and Shao Xue could fully understand as she knew what was what.

Reminded by Song Yunxuan, Shao Xue felt surer that she should act quickly and finish the task as soon as possible.

If the plan went on for too long, it would arouse Shao Tianze’s suspicion.

“Alright. I’ll let you go ahead with your business. Keep me updated.”

“Okay.”

Hearing that, Song Yunxuan hung up the phone.

No sooner had Shao Xue left the airport than she saw a sign on which was her name.

Obviously, someone was meeting her plane.

The person who held the sign was a slim girl whose hair was curly and swept back in a ponytail. At that moment, she was scanning the people coming out of the airport.

As she was wearing a black mask, Shao Xue didn’t know what she looked like.

She was wearing a black coat and was not un.o.btrusive in the crowd.

But as she was holding a sign that had got Shao Xue’s name on it, Shao Xue immediately spotted her.

Shao Xue walked over to her, greeting, “h.e.l.lo.”

“Hi, I’m from the Zang Family, and I’m here to meet your plane.”

The girl with a mask drew out a color photo. After comparing it with Shao Xue, she found that Shao Xue was the one in the photo.

Then she said to Shao Xue, “Please follow me. We’ll go to the Zang Family first.”

“OK. Thanks for picking me up.” Shao Xue thanked her politely.

But the girl leading the way said faintly, “Don’t mention it. You are Yunxuan’s friend, and her friend is my friend.”

Hearing that, Shao Xue couldn’t help envying Song Yunxuan, sighing, “It’s nice to have so many friends.”

Hearing that Shao Xue sighed, the girl in the front laughed louder, “Well. Not always.”

Shao Xue didn’t understand.

The girl with the mask turned her head and blinked at Shao Xue, saying smilingly, “One can have lots of friends, but few of them can be trusted.”

Shao Xue asked her with a smile, “Can you talk to Song Yunxuan in total confidence?”

Hearing that she mentioned Song Yunxuan, the girl wore a bigger smile, replying, “Have a guess.”

Shao Xue heard her playful words.

Then she shook her head, saying smilingly, “I can’t guess it.”

“So can you confide in Song Yunxuan?”

Hearing that, Shao Xue pondered for a moment, saying, “I’m afraid not.”

The girl with the mask led Shao Xue to a world-limited red Maserati sports car and opened the door of the front seat, saying, “Seriously?”

The girl asked in disbelief.

After seeing that the girl motioned her to sit in the car, Shao Xue smiled, answering, “Yunxuan and I can entrust our lives to each other.”

Obviously, the girl with the mask didn’t expect that Shao Xue would answer like that.

The smile in her eyes froze for a second. Then she opened the door of the driver’s seat, sat in, and started the car with good performance, saying, “I didn’t expect that you and Song Yunxuan were this close.”

“Aren’t you?”

Shao Xue asked her.

The girl took over the mask and took a look at Shao Xue, smiling, “Our relations.h.i.+p is just benefit-based.”

“So will you turn against each other?”

Shao Xue asked further.

The girl looked at Shao Xue and introduced herself instead of answering Shao Xue’s question, “I’m Zang Linger.”

“Hi, Miss Zang. My name’s Shao Xue.”

Shao Xue also introduced herself to Zang Linger.

After that, Zang Linger returned to the topic, “Now you know who I am. Tell me about it. Song Yunxuan and I, who do you think will betray for interests first?”

Shao Xue replied, “Yunxuan will never betray anyone.”

“So you mean I’ll betray Yunxuan?”

Zang Linger was amused, asking Shao Xue.

Shao Xue asked the girl in reply, “So what is your interests relations.h.i.+p?”

“That’s a long story.” Zang Linger smiled, saying.

Shao Xue continued, “No matter what interests relations.h.i.+p you two have, you don’t need to worry that Yunxuan will betray you. Isn’t it great?”

Zang Linger winced.

A few seconds later, she smiled again, saying, “Interesting.”

Indeed, the lady Shao Xue was very interesting.

Since she was so clever, Song Yunxuan made the right decision.

At least, Shao Xue could protect herself after marrying Luo Xi.

Besides, Song Yunxuan had requested Zang Linger to take care of Shao Xue. Shao Xue would have a more peaceful life in Harbor City.

“Do you think I’m interesting?”

Zang Linger cast a sidelong glance at Shao Xue, saying smilingly, “Yeah, and I believe the Luo Family will also think so.”

“So, is it good for me to be interesting?”

Shao Xue asked Zang Linger.

Zang Linger answered, “A boring person will always get bullied.”

Hearing Zang Linger’s words, Shao Xue said gently, “So, good for me.”

Zang Linger turned to look at Shao Xue.

She saw that Shao Xue was looking out of the window, slightly lowering her eyes.

Seeing that, Zang Linger didn’t say anything else.

She thought that Shao Xue should feel out of place.

Anyone who came to a strange city and would live there for at least three years with no relatives and friends around would surely feel nervous.

Besides, Shao Xue had got no families in other cities, either.

Shao Xue was looking out of the window along the way.

The busy streets of Harbor City were going backwards along the way.

Shao Xue pressed her lips and looked at the scenes outside the window, sighing with emotion.

Shortly afterward, she would be living here.

She would live here for three years, and all that would accompany her were her strange husband and a completely strange family.

When arriving at the Zang Family, the decorous and ancient door impressed Shao Xue a lot.

“Your home…”

“Yes?”

Zang Linger looked at Shao Xue.

Shao Xue didn’t know what word she could use to describe it, saying, “It’s like the royal palace in historical plays.”

“My family are interested in cla.s.sical styles.”

After getting off the car, Shao Xue followed Zang Linger to the living room.

The villa of the Zang Family was an ancient one with a historical style. When looking at it from the outside, people would feel that they had traveled back to ancient times if there weren’t bodyguards and servants in modern clothes in it.

While walking forward, Shao Xue was admiring the glazed corridor with beautiful landscape paintings in the Zang Family.

She was also admiring the pond in which lots of koi were swimming around.

There was a rockery beside the pond, and its three-stone style was picturesque.

The more Shao Xue enjoyed it, the more it absorbed Shao Xue.

Seeing that Shao Xue was fixing her eyes on the decorations around, Zang Linger said with a smile, “When you get your stuff, I’ll show you around.”

Shao Xue nodded, replying, “Thanks.”

Zang Linger smiled, saying gently, “After you marry into the Luo Family, you can come here often.”

“Won’t it disturb you?”

“I’ve got nothing to do every day, so I really want someone to talk to.”

With this, Zang Linger led Shao Xue into the living room with a red wooden door.

As soon as the door of the living room was opened, Shao Xue saw the blue and white porcelain vase on the mahogany antique shelf. It was bought at a high price from Christie’s auction house. And all kinds of exquisite jade ornaments were feasting her eyes.

Shao Xue gaped at those, saying, “You’ve got lots of antiques.”

“It’s our job to resell them.”

Zang Linger smiled.

Then she winked at the housekeeper who came forward.

The housekeeper immediately went to the living room and unlocked a gilded lock on a mahogany cabin, taking out a delicate-carved box made of sandalwood.

Then she returned and handed it over to Zang Linger.

Zang Linger took it and said to Shao Xue, “Here’s your stuff.”

Shao Xue walked over. She looked at the exquisite mahogany box, feeling confused, “What’s in the box that Yunxuan let you give me?”

Zang Linger smiled, answering, “A keepsake.”
