Could it be that she wants her to give up? In other words, the Crown Prince doesn’t know about this yet, and she’s just warning her?

Thinking of this, Xia Xinmei’s face finally eased a bit.

"Xinmei, what’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?"

Xia Xiaonuan seemed to ask with concern.

Xia Xinmei managed to pull out a smile.

"I... I don’t go to beauty salons often, remember, I just returned to the country not long ago."

Xia Xiaonuan nodded as if she suddenly understood.

"Yes, I almost forgot, you just returned not long ago." She smiled, "Are you getting used to being back? By the way, about the contract you asked about earlier. Don’t worry, I’ve discussed it with the Crown Prince, after all, you’re also part of the Xia Family, and I’ll arrange for someone to transfer father’s shares to you."

Xia Xinmei’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Xia Xiaonuan.

What exactly is she scheming?

Now, is she trying to play the good person? She doesn’t believe she would treat her like that!

Since she already knows she is Jiang Xue, and considering how she treated her before, how could she possibly forgive her? But... now she has no way out.

Either move forward, and risk mutual destruction.

Or, take a step back, and maybe still save her life, and then, as long as there are green hills, there will be wood to burn.

Xia Xinmei’s hand on her waist slightly clenched.

She gave a pale smile and said, "Xiaonuan, you know I’ve always lived abroad. This time I came back because of my mother, after experiencing so much, I’m afraid staying here will only make me sadder. So... I’ve already prepared to leave in a few days and continue back to the United States.

Will you come see me off?

I think this time, once I leave, I’ll never come back." Xia Xinmei looked at her and said seriously.

Once, when she was young, she also treated Xiaonuan like her precious princess.

Once, she also wanted to be a pair of loving sisters with Xiaonuan.

However, fate played tricks, parental favoritism, and the revelation of her background made her realize she and Xiaonuan were destined not to be that kind of sisters.

But, in this world, how many truly loving sisters are there?

Xia Xiaonuan’s brows slightly moved.

She smiled, "Of course, don’t worry, I will arrange for your work in the United States, you will always be well."

Xia Xinmei’s heart trembled.

She really didn’t understand why Xiaonuan would treat her like this.

She had treated her this way, schemed, and framed her multiple times, yet she just simply wanted her to leave. She had leverage over her, she could completely destroy her.

Yet, she chose to pretend to mercifully let her go, and then show this kind and benevolent front.

Xia Xinmei suddenly hated Xiaonuan’s mercy because it made her feel even more despicable and shameful in comparison.

But in face of reality, she had to give in because... she had to admit she also craved life.

Perhaps, that is her cleverness!

This woman is simply too despicable!

Sometimes, she’d rather Xiaonuan be a bit more malicious, a bit worse, or be as ruthless as she is; rather than hoping she’d play the good person in front of her.

This is more painful than killing her with a knife.

Xia Xinmei almost wanted to rush up and strangle her!

But looking at Xia Xiaonuan’s sincere smile, she just stood there awkwardly, momentarily at a loss.
