Hey guys! Sorry for short chapter and the change in names! This chapter won't be about MaoGuo because I want to write a chapter on the Xiao Jies as well! The next chapter will be dedicated to MaoGuo! But for now the chapter is mostly about the two Xiao Jies and a little GuiWang.
Xiao Jie(g)'s POV
I saw Uncle and Aunty Wu signal me to leave with them. I nodded and followed them out, leaving behind the two arguing couple.
"So, Xiao Jie how are you? It's been awhile since we seen you." Aunty Wu asked me as we went to the elevator.
"I'm fine. School has kept me pretty busy!" I smiled and replied.
"Oh, you shouldn't stress out to much! I wished Ying Jie was as hardworking as you!"
"Gui Gui is actually doing pretty well. She recently gotten a 93 on her math test."
"Really? Well she never tell us anything."
"I think I remember one time when I enter her room that I found a paper with a big red ninty-eight on it." Uncle Wu jumped in our conversation.
"What were you doing in Gui Gui's room uncle?" I asked suspiciously.
"Um...I lost my pen! And I thought maybe Ying Jie had it." Inside I was laughing as Uncle Wu looked nervous as Aunty Wu stared at him.
"Are you sure?" I eyed him.
"Yes!"
"Ok, I'll let you go this time, but the next time I'll have to tell Gui Gui."
"Ok." He let out a sigh of relief.
"Hey! How come you didn't tell me about the paper?" It was Aunty Wu's turn to intimidate uncle. I let out a giggle and enter the elevater. Mr. and Mrs. Qiu and that other guy also followed us.
"So, it's Xiao Jie isn't it?"Mrs. Qiu approached me.
I smiled and nodded. "Yes, Mad' am."
"Well, what a coincidence! Our family friend here is also named Xiao Jie!"
"Is that so?" I peeked over Mrs. Qiu's shoulder to take a glance at that guy. He was busy conversing with Mr. Qiu.
"Oh, what is your full name?"
"My full name is Chang Hsiao Chieh(i.e. Zhang Xiao Jie). My english name is Mini."
"What a cute name! How old are you?"
"I'm currently 17. I'll be 18 on June 25." Mrs. Qiu continued to ask me random questions. The elevator go to the bottom floor and we all stepped out. Mrs. Qiu was still questioning me when I was saved by Mr. Qiu.
"So Xiao Jie are you coming with us? We are going to the cafe by the corner to discuss some stuff." Aunty Wu offered. I shooked my head. "No thank you, Aunty. I'll wait for Gui Gui here. We have plans later."
"Okay, then."
"What about you Xiao Jie?" Mr. Qiu directed toward that guy. He declined the offer as well.
I took a seat on the couch in the lobby. That Xiao Jie guy took a seat across from mine. I immediately took out my iPhone and texted Ya Tou and Mei Mei to set up a plan to go shopping. Everyone else was busy today. Da Ya and Xiao Man had a runway show to be in, while Apple is going to be watching it. And Xiao Xun's and Tong Tong's families were at different dinner meetings with other companys' families. Yes, I know, our circle of friends are all rich and high class. Hey, who can help it? Ya Tou and Mei Mei texted back saying that they already found out about the engagement news and t hat they texted everyone else before and they also found out about Gui Gui's mysterious engagement.
"So... has any of your friends found out about the engagement?" I looked up at him in shock. He is talking to me?
"Hello?"
"Oh, yeah. Actually every one of them have already found out."
"Any how many friends do you have?"
"Seven, that is not including Gui Gui."
"Well, Wang Zi isn't gonna like this."
"Wang Zi? What about Gui Gui? Even now noone has ever cared about her feelings. Not even her parents."
"Yes, but Wang Zi has a reputation to maintain."
"Well, if he has a "reputation" to maintain, then why did he say yes in the first place?" I was furious. Are they playing some stupid game?
"If it weren't for inheriting the family company, he would have never said yes!"
"So that's it? This is exactly what I mean! None of you guys care about her!"So they are playing a stupid game! I hate them! Thank god for me that I didn't have to sit with him anymore. Gui Gui exited out of the elevator just as I was finish.
"Gui!"She walked towards me with an angry expression.
"Xiao Jie there you are! I can't believe you left!"
"You parents told me to go."
"Ok, then you're excused."
"Anyways let's go. I can't stand being here for another minute."I gave a stare at that guy and it was like all of the sudden you can see question marks on top of her head.
"Um, are you ok? I thought I was suppose to be the one that angry here."
"NO, I'm not. NOW let's GO."I start pulling her towards the exit.
"Hey! Stop pulling! Xiao Jie! XIAO JIE!"
Xiao Jie(b)'s POV
I laugh silently as Ying Jie was dragged away by her friend. I thought about her situation in this marriage. I thought about all the things that Xiao Jie said. Just then Wang Zi came out the elevator.
"Hey."
"Ready to go?" I looked up. He nodded.
"Hey, we are going to meet up with the others at mall." I informed him.
"Sure. Right now I really need something to keep my mind busy."
"Come on." I wanted to tell him about what happened, but its better not to stress him out anymore.
Gui Gui's POV
I groaned as I enter my car with Xiao Jie.
"Would you now tell me what's going on?"
"Those two are what's going!"
"Who?"
"Your stupid fiance and his stupid bestfriend!"
"I thought you wanted me to marry him?"
"Not anymore! They're just playing a game!"
"What do you mean?" I got a little worry.
"Well I was waiting for you in the lobby, that idiot and I had a brief and disturbing conversation."
"What did you guys say to each other?" I got a little serious.
"Well the only reason he is agreeing to this damn wedding is because he wants to inherit the family company." I suddenly enter a short shockness, which quickly turned into anger.
"Gui? Yeah, I know how you feel."
"How can he? He is exactly the person I think he is."
"So what are you going to do?" I gave Xiao Jie a wick smile. She return one.
"If he wants to be selfish, then so can I."
Xiao Jie(b)'s POV
Wang Zi and I got to the mall fifteen minutes later. The rest of the guys waited for us at the food court. As we enter the mall, it was like all heads towards us. Yes, we get stared at other times, but then they were just girls. This time everyone looked at us.
"Well, I guess the news are out."
"You think?"
"No need to get angey. Let's just get to the food court."
We tried to get to the food court as fast as we can. There the rest sat, whispering among each other.
"Hey." I greeted.
"Gosh, what took you two so long?"Ao Quan complained.
"Girls. Swarms of them. Everyone wanted to know if I was really getting married." Wang Zi informed them as we took our seat.
"And what happened after they found out if you are?" Wei Lian asked.
"Half of them looked like they were going to murder his fiance and the other half were in tears."I laughed as the image came back to my mind.
"Wow, your fiance is really lucky."Xiao Yu said.
"Yeah, but she's the only one who doesn't like it."They all gave Wang Zi questioning look.
"It's a long story, we'll talk about it later."
"So, you're marrying Wu Ying Jie?"Ao Quan mentioned.
"Yep."
"Dude, you should be the one that's lucky."Ah Wei looked jealous.
"And why is that?"
"She is damn beautiful! I saw her one time when her family and my family had a business meeting. Let's just say I couldn't stop staring at her! She pretty nice too."
"Hey, she's my fiance. And nice? Yeah right."
"She is really that beautiful?"Ao Quan questioned.
"Yes! Here is a picture. I took it while we were at dinner." Ah Wei showed us a picture of him, Gui Gui, and that girl, Xiao Jie."
"Dude why do you always get the best girls on this planet?" Although Xiao Yu was address Wang Zi, he kept staring at the picture.
"Seriously, I mean I think she's the best out of all the girls you've dated, including Hong Shi!" Wei Lian exclaimed.
"Hey, who's the other pretty girl? She almost matches Wang Zi's fiance in beauty."Ao Quan looks at Ah Wei.
"That's Xiao Jie. She's like Ying Jie's bestfriend. And yes, she is pretty."Ah Wei informed.
"Xiao Jie? Hey, Xiao Jie she has the same name as you."
"Yeah I know. We met her today. As well as Gui Gui."
"Gui Gui?" Wang Zi asked me.
"Yeah, that's your fiance's nickname, I think. That's what Xiao Jie calls her."
"Oh."
"So how was Xiao Jie?" Wei Lian changed back the conversation.
"Okay...we didn't really talk."
"So you're having a party?"
"I guess, since that is what they annouced."
"Well, I'm definity going. I want to see those two in person."Ao Quan said.
"Yeah, us too." The others agreed.
Xiao Jie(g)'s POV
Gui Gui and I arrived at the mall some time later. We planned to meet with Ya Tou and Mei Mei at our usual cafe hangout. To other surprise everyone was there.
"Gui Gui! Xiao Jie!" Da Ya called us over to the table.
"What are you guys doing here?" I asked.
"Well, we wanted to find out about the marriage so we decided to leave everything else early."Xiao Man answered.
"Well, all of you except Ya Tou and Mei Mei came here for nothing, cause I don't want to talk about that stupid bastard."
"Stupid bastard?" Apple looked at questioningly.
"Her ass of a fiance."
"Why?"
"It's a long story. Since you guys are here, Gui Gui you might as well tell them the story." She sigh.
"Fine, but let's do it well we're shopping."
"Ok, let's go!" Mei Mei, the gossip girl of our group, pushed us to the exit. We went to our favorite shops. Despite the story, even Gui Gui was having a great time. That is...until we bumped into the two most people that we don't want to see on earth and their friends.
"Crap." I said under my breath. I got the feeling that something bad is going to happen.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" Both screamed in a illuison.
"Wow, they really don't like each other. But at the same time its like they are meant to be."Xiao Xun commented.
"What do you mean?"I asked.
"Can't you tell? They totally hate each other, but the way they talk, it like they are already a couple and they are." Well, you don't call Xiao Xun a genius for nothing. Suddenly I saw Xiao Jie. He gave me a smile, I gave him a glare.
"Hey Gui Gui and Xiao Jie." Ah Wei popped out of nowhere.
"Hi Ah Wei!" Both Gui Gui and I gave him a genuine smile.
"You guys know him?" Tong Tong pulled me aside.
"Yeah, Gui Gui's family and his family had a business dinner and that was when I tagged along."
"So what are you doing here?" Wang Zi switch back the conversation.
"Why do you care?"
"Well, I am your fiance."
"Yeah and that's a stupid lie." I commented.
"A lie?"
"What? Haven't Xiao Jie told you that he told me why you agreed to this marriage?"I smirked.
"WHAT?" He turns towards Xiao Jie. Xiao Jie lets out a nervous laugh and sent daggers at me. He quickly came over to me and dragged me to the side.
"What are you doing?"
"Something call payback."
"YOU!"
"Me what?"I was too caught up to notice how close we were. "You should be lucky that I'm not telling everything out."
"Lucky? My life will still be over!"
"Well, that's YOUR fault. So deal with it!"
"NO, you are going to fix it."
"And what if I don't?"
"I'll tell everyone that you kissed me." My eyes opened with horror.
"You won't!"
"Try me."
"FINE!" I gave in. He gave me a smirk. I walked back to the group.
"What happened?" Ya Tou asked.
"Nothing."
"Nothing?" She press on.
"Yes, nothing."
"Okay, if that's what you say."
"So what do you know?" Wang Zi eyed me. I looked from him to Xiao Jie and back. When I finally made up my mind, I let out a smirk. No way was I going to let him win.
"Something."
"What is that something?"
"Should you just let it go before I tell everyone?"
"Not until I find out what you know." Then Gui Gui stepped in.
"If you really want to know then meet us at the movies in two hours. My happy mood is decreasing again and I really don't want to DEAL WITH YOU. Come on guys." As I walked away, I took a glance at Xiao Jie and mouth the word loser at him. His expression? It was priceless.
