Three hours ago.

Zhao Shuxin walked into the lobby of Heaven's Garden, a top-class hotel in London.

Earlier, she got a message that Madam X, the investor who helped the Zhao enterprise to get a one hundred and fifty million deal with a big company told her to meet up in a high-end restaurant inside the hotel.

The lobby was bustling with locals and tourists that are wealthy enough to burn fifty thousand dollars a night to stay in that hotel. And just from one look, she could see that staying inside that hotel was indeed a boost to a person's self-esteem.

Walking to the restaurant where she was supposed to meet Madam X, Zhao Shuxin saw a woman wearing the restaurant's uniform standing in the entrance.

The woman gave her a questioning look before flashing a bright smile. "Are you miss Zhao?"

"Yes."

"Please follow me. I'll be taking you to one of our private booths." The woman said before turning around to guide Zhao Shuxin.

Zhao Shuxin didn't refuse and followed the woman. She tipped her chin upward and straightened her back as they pass the tables in the public area where other wealthy people who decided that it was a good time to eat outside of the private booth was seated.

Inside her mind, she couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority when she saw some of the customers in the restaurant turned to stare at her going upstairs where the private booth was located.

When Zhao Shuxin arrived at the booth that was prepared for her, she saw that no one was inside.

She frowned and turned to the woman impatiently, "Why is there no one?"

"Madam X already notified us that she's on her way." The woman said politely and saw an annoyance flashed through Zhao Shuxin's eyes.

Zhao Shuxin was feeling indignant as she was not notified that Madam X was coming later than she was. If there's anything that she didn't like, it was to wait for the other person to come or when someone was late.

If only Madam X wasn't an important investor in her company, she wouldn't even spare a second before she turned her back and leave. She might even blacklist them from the business world.

Living twice already, Zhao Shuxin might appear to be smart after taking the Zhao enterprise from her father and dealing with her enemies. However, the arrogance in her body was still there as she believed that no one can be above her and she could easily take down her enemies.

Even though she did live twice, she used her memories in the past as a cheat to her way up but that didn't mean she could use her memories in the past to the future where she didn't even have a memory of it.

And because of that, Zhao Shuxin has been struggling to keep the Zhao enterprise at the top of the game. The changes of wind in the business world were the same as how many a person could change their clothes in a day and a woman who only has her past life as a weapon could barely survive the future if she had no intent to change and just rely on her past memories.

"Can I get you a drink, miss Zhao?" The woman asked her.

Before she replied to her, Zhao Shuxin looked down at her watch and saw that it was half-past four in the afternoon. A perfect time to drink coffee. "Do you serve tea?"

The woman nodded before she said, "We do. Our special today is a Tieguanyin tea and Diamond tea. Which tea do Miss Zhao want us to serve?"

Zhao Shuxin frowned when she heard the names of the coffee that the woman recommended to her. She was no stupid not to know how expensive these two teas was and gulped.

No matter how wealthy the Zhao family is in China Compared to the wealthy people in London or around the world, the Zhao family paled in comparison, and with the crisis that her company barely escaped from, she couldn't squander her money so easily like in the past.

As she was about to order something cheaper than what the woman recommended, Zhao Shuxin suddenly had an idea.

Since Madam X dared to make her wait… why don't she order something expensive and wait for Madam X to come so she could pay for it?

A cunning smile was on her lips and before long, Zhao Shuxin opened the menu and ordered a few dishes not knowing that she would suffer because of her plan.

Three hours later.

Yan Xiaoran stood inside a boutique and was picking out a dress for her to wear when her phone chimed.

She picked it up and a gentle smile was on her lips.

Alexander: "When are you coming home?"

Yan Xiaoran replied after reading: "I'll be late tonight."

She was about to put her phone down and continue looking through the clothes in the boutique when her phone chimed once again.

Alexander: "You're not in the office. Where are you?"

Yan Xiaoran was shocked: "How did you know I'm not in my office?"

Soon, Alexander replied: "Secret."

Yan Xiaoran looked around her before typing in her phone, "Are you following me again?"

This time around, Alexander didn't reply to her and it only confirmed her statement. He was actually spying on her!

Biting her lower lips angrily, Yan Xiaoran decided to ignore him and turn her phone into silent mode.

15 minutes later.

Just as Yan Xiaoran thought that Alexander gave up seeing that she hadn't received a reply after her message, she finally could feel at ease to shop her clothes. It has been a while since she could shop her own clothes after being too caught up in her tasks as the president of Femperial Group thus when she found a chance, she grabbed it and decided to do it till her heart was satisfied.

As for Zhao Shuxin… Yan Xiaoran never had the intention to show up and meet her today. In the first place, she wanted to humiliate and test Zhai Shuxin's patience.

With a black silk dress in her hand, Yan Xiaoran was about to go inside the changing room when a hand suddenly stopped her and took the dress from her hand.

She looked up and saw Alexander smiling down at her like a fox.

"Let me help you change, Mrs. Qu."
