25 The Drama Unfolds

Any guy, who would see her crying would have his heart aching for her, but Ellen was different.

He didn't feel anything seeing her face covered with cuts as he backed away from her with a hint of coldness and disgust, but he didn't shake her hand off him..

Son Xia, who was going to stand up with Ellen, was speechless.

This... Her eyes involuntarily turned icy cold as she stared at her hugging Ellen's right arm tightly. How dare she touch him...

Song Xia leaned her back on the chair as she crossed her legs, calmly sipping her black coffee as she stared into a distance with flickering eyes.

Secretary Han, who was sitting right in front of her, gulped as he felt her cold stare on him.

Why was she looking at him like that?! Wait, she wasn't actually looking at him...

Secretary Han subconsciously turned his head back and realized that she was looking at a lady wearing a red dress, who was also looking at Song Xia with an evil smirk.

`Miss, don't you worry. I'll end this b*tch once and for all!'

Ellen pushed Tang Lao away coldly as he warned her morosely, "Miss Tang is going overboard."

He quickly glanced at Song Xia, who was sipping her black coffee like nothing had happened and her eyes were also somewhere else other than him.

Ellen frowned unhappily, did this girl even see that Tang something hug me?!

He wanted to see her acting all jealous but what he saw in her eyes was indifference and extreme coldness while looking at a certain direction.

Ellen just let it go as he took a bite of his food, pouting like a small kid.

Tang Lao clenched her teeth tightly as she tried to calm herself down after being pushed away so harshly.

'Just wait, you *****, wait until my plans succeed and then I'll see who will back you up anymore..

Tang Long felt relieved, seeing his daughter's haughty expression. She must've something up her sleeve...

Suddenly, a loud voice was heard, "Oh, it's Miss Tang! Long time no see, Miss Tang!"

She walked towards the Table No. 5 as she exclaimed, loud enough to garner everyone's attention.

Everyone including Song Xia looked up to see the lady in the red dress who had her brown hair tied up in a bun.

Tang Lao's eyes widened and she mumbled in a fearful voice, "S-she... how could she be here?"

Tang Long glanced at his daughter as he asked, playing his part well, "Lao'er, do you know this woman? Tell father!"

Tang Lao sobbed hard as her eyes turned red, "Daddy, she... she's the one who hurt my face..."

Ellen narrowed his brows as he glanced at the lady in red. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as his lips curled up.

"Which Miss Tang are you talking about? Put it clearly." He indifferently asked.

The lady in red immediately answered as she stared at Song Xia, "Of course I'm talking about Miss Tang Xuan!"

Ellen couldn't help the corner of his mouths from curling upwards.

Miss Tang Xuan.. Heh, they don't even know that this is just a fake identity yet they still dare to plot against Xia with this lousy scheme..

Song Xia propped her chin in her hand as she looked at the lady in red with hidden ridicule in her eyes.

"Oh, me? Really? I don't know you though." Her voice sounded soft yet so cold at the same time.

The lady in red nearly lost her balance when she felt a cold chill on her back but she soon regained her composure as she impatiently looked at her.

"Miss Tang, don't you remember me? I'm Su Min, you called me today to hurt that girl- I mean... don't you remember me?!"

Su Min intentionally mentioned Tang Lao and paused so that no one would suspect her for accusing Song Xia falsely.

What she didn't know was that she was acting too dramatically with exaggeration, which made Song Xia feel cringed out.

Everyone stared at Song Xia after listening to Su Min.

Secretary Han, who had seen the lady smirk evilly earlier, had his own suspicions but dared not speak as he watched the drama unfold with knitted brows.

Tang Lao instantly burst out in tears as she asked in a tone of being wronged.

"Sister Xuan... I thought of you as a big sister and you actually hired someone to hit me.. What did I ever do to you?!"

She cried out loud, gaining the attention of many other diners.

They started discussing among themselves.

"What a pity! What that poor girl said was indeed true.. Humanity doesn't exist in this cruel world full of people like that woman!"

"How can a girl do that to another girl! She even tried to hurt the girl when she failed to stop her from chasing her man..."

"Her man? Why do I feel like she snatched that guy from the poor girl! I thought that she looked innocent but now that this 'Su Min' arrived, I'm disgusted by how thick her skin is!"

Listening to the gossip about Song Xia being thick-skinned, Tang Long smirked in satisfaction.

This daughter of his wasn't that bad when it came to schemes and using tricks...
