At that time, she had to take care of six babies, work nights shift to earn money, and also handle her graduation project. It was really exhausting.

During her toughest times, she would never forget the ones who offered help.

“Hello,” Zhan Zifeng simply greeted her with a warm, sunshine-like gaze, which then landed on Zhan Yeling, “Second brother, you seem to have lost quite a bit of weight. You’ve worked hard for the Rich Corporation.”

Second brother? Xiong Miao was startled. So Zhan Zifeng was Zhan Yeling’s elder brother!

Well, that made sense. Both of them had the surname Zhan and carried a noble aura.

Being young masters of the Zhan family was not strange at all.

“You, on the other hand, brother, are living the high life, all alone overseas. Now that you’re back, you must be planning to settle down,” Zhan Yeling’s eyes were dark and deep, his words carrying hidden meanings.

The brothers exchanged words that were sharp as swords, clashing silently in the air.

Xiong Miao, standing next to Zhan Yeling, suddenly felt a cold chill, despite the warm surroundings. It felt eerily quiet.

“That will depend on the outcome of the new product launch,” Zhan Zifeng’s face always held a gentle smile, yet it also gave off a distance that one should not breach.

The reason was simple, his smile didn’t reach his eyes.

Zhan Zifeng raised his glass towards Zhan Yeling, finished his red wine in one gulp, and turned around to greet the other guests.

Xiong Miao noticed that Zhan Yeling’s eyes had become frighteningly gloomy.

It made her feel uneasy standing beside him.

“President Zhan, it’s not often we get to see you,” a man greeted Zhan Yeling with a face full of rare excitement.

Social events like this were perfect for businessmen to network and build relationships.

“Wait for me over there,” Zhan Yeling signaled Xiong Miao, and then started chatting with the man.

Finally free to move around, Xiong Miao felt relieved and excited.

There was a lot of delicious food at the banquet. She selected some desserts that she loved, got a cup of juice, found a corner, and sat down to eat.

She hadn’t had a decent meal in days. It was time to reward her stomach.

“How far have you and Zhan Yeling gone?”

Xiong Miao, engrossed in her food, suddenly heard a disdainful female voice beside her.

Turning around, she saw a woman with an elegant and luxurious face. Despite being in her forties or fifties, her skin was well-maintained, showing no sign of age.

Recognizing the woman who was just talking with Zhan Yeling, Xiong Miao guessed her identity, took a napkin to wipe her mouth, and said, “Auntie, it’s not what you think.”

“Don’t try to fool me. You are just like those unknown women approaching rich men with no good intentions. I tell you, you better leave him early. Don’t wait until he gets bored and discards you! You and him will never end up together! The one he will marry is only Ling Xiaoxiao!” Fang Qian said arrogantly, her words sharp and warning. She walked away after speaking.

She was determined not to let Zhan Yeling slip from her control and be with another woman!

Xiong Miao felt wronged by the words.

Being considered a love rival by Ling Xiaoxiao for no reason was one thing.

But now, she was even being warned off.

Such a feeling… was terribly awful.

Where did she fall short?

Why did they all look down on her?

Was it just because she didn’t have a wealthy and dependable father?

Was it because she had to struggle at the bottom, relying on her own abilities?

Why was she looked down upon by these so-called noble people, one after another?

The more Xiong Miao thought about it, the angrier she got.
