She went to MAX as soon as she left YX Dance Academy.

"What happened to my baby? You look upset." Wan Jia took her daughter's hand and made her sit, then had Seventeen bring her a cup of coffee.

"I'm... just nervous. I only have six days before the auditions."

Wan Jia understood that the girl probably didn't want to talk about it yet, so she let her be. "You should visit your grandparents soon. They miss you a lot."

"Oh! It's been long since I last saw grandma. Can I go over tomorrow?"

Wan Jia glanced at her curiously. "Why can't you go today? You have plans already?"

Lu Meili cheered up instantly, as though she had taken an instant 'happiness' shot. "If I'm going to the Lin residence, of course I'm taking my brother with me. He is after all the only grandson of the Lin family. Obviously, the main point is that grandma misses him too."

Wan Jia chuckled at her suddenly cheerful daughter.

Having a child who was this easy to pacify was every parent's dream.

"CEO, you have a meeting with all designers in thirty minutes." Seventeen reminded.

Lu Meili wouldn't ever stop being awed by her father's brilliance. Seventeen was an even more capable assistant that the secretary Carla.

"Mom, you should prepare for your meeting, right? I will go home and wait for Xian Yu."

Wan Jia pulled her back. "You are always very busy. Don't you want to spend some time with mommy?"

Lu Meili shyly understood what her mother was worried about. "Mom, I'll be fine. I cannot let a man make me depressed. No matter how much I love him, I cannot give him that ability."

"As expected, you were upset because of Xu Tang." Although her tone revealed her worry, her eyes looked murderous. That Xu Tang! How dare he?

Lu Meili played with her fingers. She didn't expect her mother to read through her like an open book. "Mom, I'll be fine really. Can't you see? I'm not heartbroken."

Wan Jia rolled a pen. "Yeah, I can see that very clearly." 'I will never fall in love again' is written all over your face. How can I not see that?

In the end, Lu Meili chose to stay with her mother. She felt safest beside her after all.

...

In the evening, Wan Jia was finally done with all her work for the day. She had managed to perfectly balance her attention between her daughter and her work.

"Little Li, I'll let Carla drop you home first. I have somewhere to go first."

After spending a whole afternoon chatting with her mother, she was indeed happier. "Yes mom."

"Have dinner first, okay?"

"Mmh."

Once Lu Meili left, Wan Jia went to Xu Tang's mansion. She wanted to see just what kind of man had the guts to hurt her daughter every time like a repeated offender.

"Aunty Wan Jia? Hello." Xu Tang was surprised to see her.

"Shocked to see me?" Wan Jia walked right in, her displeasure visible all over her face.

"Not... not shocked. Please take a seat. Shall I brew you a cup of coffee?"

"I don't like coffee. My daughter does."

Xu Tang felt awkward. "Sorry, I forgot. What about... juice?"

Wan Jia wasn't in the mood to chatter around with him. "Young man, I'm not here so you can suck up to me. I'm here to give you my last warning."

Xu Tang felt his heart tremble.

"You were my daughter's best friend as well as my best friend's son. I never would have thought that you would one day become my worst enemy."

Even if Xu Tang was an idiot, he would be able to know by now what Wan Jia was talking about. She had found out what he had done to Lu Meili today. "Aunty Wan Jia, what happened today..."

"Firstly, I'm not your aunty. You have lost the right to call me that. Secondly, stay far away from my daughter. I do not want to see you within twenty meters of her radius. You have already been warned before, but you did not take heed. This is my final warning Xu Tang. Don't blame me for what I'll do to you if you do not listen to my words today." Wan Jia's tone was rather grave. If Lu Aotian hurt Lu Meili, she wouldn't have it too nice with him, much less an outsider of Xu Tang's variety.

Xu Tang didn't know what to say. If he could no longer be Lu Meili's friend, he only had himself to blame for being too rude to her.

Wan Jia stood up just as intimidatingly as she had sat down. She glared at Xu Tang who was about to stand. "You don't need to see me out, I know my way."

Just on her way out, a young woman just a little older than her Xian Li and a little younger than her Meili came in. She jumped onto her for a hug. "Aunty Wan Jia, it's been quite long. I missed you."

Wan Jia rubbed her head. "Hello Xixi. I only came here to have a word with your brother. I'm leaving."

Small Xixi looked a little disappointed. "Oh..."

As soon as Wan Jia left, Small Xixi walked around her brother, sniffing in the air around him."

"You're making me dizzy. What are you doing?" Xu Tang was irritated.

"I smell trouble." Small Xixi stopped going in circles and stood in front of him with her arms crossed. "You got into trouble with such a kind person as Aunty Wan Jia. Tell me, Is it related to Sis Meili? Did you bully her?"

She took his silent for consent. "Brother, are you a fool?" She scolded
