Xia Liena made her way to her room in the west wing. The west wing is exclusively for siblings only. Only Xia Liena and her siblings live there.
Xia Liena has four siblings. Xia Jinsheng, Xia Lian, Xian Lin and Xia Jinxiao. Xia Jinsheng was the eldest who was only a year older than Xia Liena. He was the CEO of D'Evereux groups and Moon Empire. D'Evereux was their mother, Celeste D'Evereux' fashion design company. And the Moon Empire was her grandmother, Jiang Yue's Jewellery and construction company.
Xia Lian was a world class Surgeon who also specialises in Neurology. He also owns a pharmaceutical company, Innovo. Xia Lin was an international top idol who was also the one who manages Xia Liena's Glory world which is a company involved in tech in her absence. Xia Lian, Xia Lin and Xia Liena are triplets.
The last one, Xia Jinxiao is a university at the age of 18. He was also the captain Glory world's e-sports team, Team Glory.
These siblings were very close once. But after the entrance of a certain best friend in her life, she gradually began distant from her brothers. Now, she will change that fact. She will become closer to her brothers. With these thoughts, Xia Liena changed her uniform and went to shower. After shower, without taking a small rest or anything, she changed into a white tee and black skinny jeans.
After that, she walked through the hallway where she accidentally heard some sounds in Xia Lin aka Xion's room. Xion was his English name and his preferred name. She opened the door only to see her brother laying on his bed with a paper and pen while thinking very hard.
Xia Liena cleared her throat to get her brother's attention. As soon as he heard the sound, he looked up. His eyeballs were practically popping with wide open mouth.
"Why so shocked? Flies are going to think that's their home." She moved inside the bed and comfortably laid beside her brother like its her own bed.
"Nonsense. Do you know how many girls dream of my hot lips?" Xion woke up from his stupor and praised himself. She forget how much of a narcissist he is. She should have expected the retort.
"I am sure some men will do the same." Xia Liena replied nonchalantly.
"Yea..... what? Ewww. What the hell are you thinking about?" Xion retorted with a face of an angry bull.
"Whatever. You coming with me to pick Gabe from university?" Gabriel was Xia Jinxiao's English name. So every one call him Gabe for short.
"Isn't Xiao Chen picking him up." Xion asked with a confused face. Sometimes, Xia Liena really want to question his IQ. Xiao Chen was Xia Liena's personal driver who now was in-charge of Gabriel's rides.
"I want to do it today. Are you coming or not?" Xia Liena replied impatiently.
"I will come " 'because I want to spend more with you' was his unspoken words but Xia Liena clearly understood his thoughts. She was a skilled mind reader afterall.
"Hey. I know what you are thinking. I am not leaving anytime soon unless I get any task which means from now on, you are stuck with me." Xia Liena said to make him a little happy after seeing his gloomy face.
"Oh but the moment they appear, you will go again." He muttered unhappily like a kid who just lost his favourite candy.
"Why would I go away when they come?" Xia Liena asked him with an innocent face as if she had no idea what he was talking about.
"You will follow everything they say. Sister, I think they are really not a good company." He told with an obvious disdain while mentioning them.
"I know. Ye Xiaoxing wants everything I have. She is jealous of what I have. Her target is obviously Xia family and as for He Yangfeng, they are a couple." Xia Liena dropped a huge bomb on his head just like that.
"What? How dare they? And why are you not doing anything?" Xion exaggeratedly got off the bed and walked here and forth.
"Bro, haven't you heard the saying, 'keep your friends close but your enemies closer'. And that's what exactly I am going to do. Except, I am going to stop the boyfriend drama. It's getting on my nerves." Xia Liena got off from the bed and pulled him to the door.
"Does that mean you have plans for them?" Xion asked excitedly wanting to see his ruthless side again. The last time he saw was when they were 19, after she took the leadership of the family.
"I do. Afterall, I am president X." Xia Liena told him. President X was her alias. All her employees call her that because she is the president of the company. And X for Xia and also because she was very mysterious, the employees chose it.
"Am I included in your plan?" Xion had a child like expectant grin on his face. And who would refuse such adorable brother.
"Mmmm. I don't want to tell this story to the whole family all over again. My mouth's already hurting. You are tasked to do this. Everyone has a part on my plan." Xia Liena, however lead her brother to the hall without even knowing. Her grandfather was sitting there flirting with his wife. She loudly cleared her throat causing both of them to snap their heads in their direction and glare at them playfully.
"Grandpa, when were you going to inform me about that two women in our home?" Xia Liena raised her eyebrows questionably causing the three of them shocked to the core.
The two women Xia Liena was talking about was Meng Xingran and her daughter Meng Xiuran. If she remembered it correctly, the woman Meng Xingran should have already come to the Xia family mansion claiming that her father, Xia Jingren/ Alexander Xia, made her pregnant years ago resulting in her daughter Meng Xiuran.
But that's absolutely a lie. Xia family men will never have sexual relations with a woman unless they are sure that that girl is their other half. Which actually means that Xia Liena's mom, Celeste was his first and last. And Xia family men are not the type to cheat on their partner.
Besides, in her last life, somehow she accidentally found out that Meng Xiuran has zero percent DNA match with Xia family. But it was too late. By the time she found out and come to her senses, her grandparents were already dead. Her family was slowly losing its previous glory. The 10 great families became 4 families. Xia family was still the first but it was not strong as before.
"How did you know about that?" Her grandmother asked with her eyes practically bulging out of her socket.
"I am the Clan leader. Why would I not keep track on the family?" Xia Liena stated as it was the most obvious fact in the whole world.
"Liena, your father is not that kind of person. Don't misunderstand him-" Xia Liena cut her off before she starts rambling again.
"I know. Xia family men are upright men. But we shouldn't take any actions against them now. The woman has the support of some big-shot in Country N. He is not powerful compared to us. But he is very scheming. I believe his next plan will be done after a year or so. He will target the branch families of the nine prominent family." Xia Liena sat on the couch opposite her grandparents and patiently explained.
"That means we will have to unify the nine prominent families and take action before him." Her grandfather easily switched to his overbearing Patriarch position.
"I am familiar with six families. As for Han, Qiu and Xin, I really don't know any of them now." Xia Liena really didn't know anyone from Qiu or Xin family because in her last life she was too proud and didn't want to meet his friends.
"We know Han family." Her grandfather said after contemplating a lot. She knew what he was thinking. The Heir of the Han family was her fiancé after-all.
The man who loved her unconditionally despite her so-called hatred towards him.
The man who earned for her love.
The man who dreamt to have a family with her.
The man who was willing to give his life for her.
The man whom she wronged and betrayed over and over.
He was the Young master Han, heir of the Han family who holds immeasurable hidden power in his hands. With his power alone, Han family can one day become head to head with Xia family.
The man whom she will love and cherish in this life.
Han Zhuoli!
