The warm sunlight was blocked by a shadow.

Xia Ling lifted her head and was startled to see a familiar face — Li Beier. The Li Beier in front of her now clearly had put in much effort to make herself presentable — her long, curly hair was combed into a charming style and she was wearing a fiery red, body-hugging top and skinny pants matched with a pair of bright-colored riding boots. She looked both cool and sexy. She looked down on Xia Ling and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"What's it got to do with you?" Xia Ling responded lightly.

She was actually rather shocked to see Li Beier. The world was a small place and it seemed that Li Beier was one of the female partners of Li Lei's group of friends here today. These rich second-generation heirs enjoyed playing around with small stars. She wondered which of the gentlemen had such bad taste and had chosen this shallow and problematic woman.

Li Beier was insulted by Xia Ling's calm demeanor. She snapped at Xia Ling, her chest heaving in anger. "Who are you then? What place do you have sitting here? Speak! How did you manage to sneak in here?! If you don't tell me, I'll call security over right now!"

This scene felt like deja vu.

Xia Ling's lips curled into a smile as she sniggered. "Have you not been through enough difficulties?"

"What?" Li Beier looked at her, confused.

"Not long ago, you were chased out of Lucas' shop, right? How did that feel?" Xia Ling swirled the glass in her hands, the rose tea complementing her white fingertips. "Do you want to be chased out again here?"

Li Beier's face contorted in anger as she was reminded of being chased out of the shop, and she glared at Xia Ling with fire seemingly spouting from her eyes. She had never been that disgraced and humiliated in her life! To date, she was too embarrassed to go to Lucas' shop! As such, she had not had the chance to buy all the new outfits for the spring season and could only wear her old clothes to Nan Shan today! It was all because of this ugly woman in front of her, who had caused her to be publicly humiliated and not be able to buy new clothes, and also caused her to receive countless snide comments from the other ladies present today!

No, she had to get the upper hand here today!

Li Beier seethed and ground her teeth together, her beautiful face contorting in anger again.

Yet, learning from her mistake from before, Li Beier was a little cleverer this time. "Who did you come here with today?" She asked, afraid that Xia Ling had a strong backer. After all, the only people who could bring female partners into the Nan Shan horse riding club were wealthy second-generation heirs that had formidable backgrounds. Before making trouble, she needed to be sure that she could afford to offend Xia Ling.

Xia Ling lazily responded, "Why do you care who I came here with?" She did not have the good habit of replying everything that she was asked, and also did not like to wave Li Lei's name around like a banner. Even if she could guess the intention behind Li Beier's question, she did not care to tell her the truth.

Li Beier took it that Xia Ling was scared, and proudly stood taller, further showing off her full bosom. "I came here today with the second son of the Zhou family."

In this circle, the second son of the Zhou family was a big name. He would rank just after Li Lei and Du Yunfeng. Li Beier had nothing to be afraid of as long as she did not offend the ladies that came with Li Lei and Du Yunfeng.
