The Villain's Younger Sister

Chapter 4

Nie AnAn was stunned when she saw the girl in the mirror. Her face was free of all tattoos and had no makeup on right now. It was purely her natural look. Her cheeks and forehead were still a bit red and swollen, yet that did not affect her original features. She didn't have the traditional look with a slightly pointy chin. Her face was more rounded on the bottom. Her eyes were large and black, as though they had been washed over by water. Even though her face was slightly red from the pain, it still looked slightly translucent. Her nose was small but straight, and her lips full and puffy. Her face was a combination of both innocence and sexiness.

Nie AnAn hadn't expected the original owner to be that attractive! She was such a beautiful woman, but she decided to ruin it all with those absurd tattoos, not to mention the thick makeup. That was exactly why everybody described the original owner as either very violent or too ugly and scary, so much that it could stop a baby's crying.

Before Nie AnAn could process this new information about the original owner's look, her cellphone rang. She slid to answer the call. On the other end, it was Cucumber, "Young Miss, Boss Huo had just called. He said Young Master Chen was about to jump off a building and said to have you go and take care of that."

Nie AnAn paused for a second and figured out what he meant by that. She replied, "Okay. I am done having my tattoos removed. We can head over there right away." She hung up the phone and walked outside to the car parked by the side of the road. Cucumber had already started the car. Nie AnAn opened the car door and got inside of it. "Just the two of us?"

"Boss Huo was busy. Besides, when has he ever gone to take care of these minor issues in person?" said Cucumber. Nie AnAn was silent. That was true, matters like these were usually taken care of by the original owner. All the mergers and acquisitions by Huo YanXiao had made many people lose their jobs. Falling from the top of the world to the bottom of the valley overnight, some of these people would come and cause a scene, and others would attempt to commit suicide like this Young Master Chen. No matter which scenario it was, it was always the original owner who'd step up and take care of them.

Even if it turned into a fight, it wouldn't be a problem for the original owner. She was one of the best in the Capital City. She didn't care if someone wanted to commit suicide, and the merger and acquisition by Huo YanXiao were all within the legal limits. She didn't care about being surrounded by the media either. She could make the reporters cry.

Someone once caused a scene and threw a rotten egg at her. She chased him down 10 blocks and gave him a good beating. Ever since then, her infamous reputation spread within the entire Capital City. Of course, there was one person who could bully her, and that was Qin ZiMing and his gang. They were just arriving at the scene where Young Master Chen had leaped off the building, and they could see the police line from afar.

Nie AnAn had just gotten out of the car when she was surrounded by reporters. The reporters recognized Nie AnAn's car, so they rushed over and surrounded it as soon as they pulled up. Well, they know Cucumber, who just got out of the car, but who's that elegant and lady-like girl who also got out of the car with him? And, wasn't she a little bit too pretty? Even though her cheeks were swollen like she was having an allergic reason, it didn't change the fact that she was very pretty.

Especially after she got out of the car and saw that she was surrounded. The intimidated look in her black and large eyes made her look like a sheep being bullied. The reporters exchanged looks with each other and looked inside the car. They were wondering why Nie AnAn hasn't exited the car yet.

Until, one of the reporters finally recognized the young woman standing in front of him "You are Miss Nie AnAn? I saw a picture of you when you were 18 years old!" As soon as he finished saying that, everybody looked over in his direction all at once. Nie AnAn's voice was soft. "Yes, I am Nie AnAn. My brother sent me over to take care of issues related to the media." The reporters couldn't believe their own ears. The fragile little sheep standing in front of them was Nie AnAn? But, she just confirmed that she was, indeed, Nie AnAn!

Someone finally recollected himself and shoved the microphone in front of Nie AnAn - "Miss Nie, what's your take on your brother's acquisition and Young Master Chen's suicide?" Once someone had asked the first question, that reminded the rest of the reporters and they all started firing questions. "Miss Nie, before Young Master Chen committed suicide, he had called your brother many times and even waited in front of his company for three days, can you confirm whether that was true?" "Miss Nie, this must be the third victim driven to commit suicide by your brother, how do you sleep at night?"

The reporter fired a string of questions. Nie AnAn frowned, she seemed to have smell something with her highly sensitive nose. It so happened that there was a break in the police line at that moment. Nie AnAn glanced over and saw blood on the ground. The red and the white contracted drastically.

"Ugh—" She felt her stomach roiled and as though someone had struck her sharply on her head. The world in front of her started to spin and she started to collapse. Except that, the second before she closed her eyes, a strong arm wrapped around her waist and a male voice said into her ears, "Miss, are you alright?" Nie AnAn was seeing black. Through the blurriness, she could sort of make out a pair of peach blossom eyes and two small moles next to the corner of his left eye. The moles make the whole face seem lively.

The unique characteristics remind her of a name: Nie Chengfeng. In the novel, he was mentioned as the successor of the Nie's. The Nie's, much like the Qin's, were both prominent families in Capital City. This Nie Chengfeng might looked like a playboy at first glance, but he was a cunning and vicious man when it came to businesses.

Eighteen years ago, the Nie's had run into some serious problems, and it quickly escalated. It was only after Nie ChengFeng turned 16 and took over the family business that he brought the family that was close to bankruptcy back to the top. But what was Nie ChengFeng doing here? Nie AnAn didn't have time to give that too much thought. She was just happy that someone stopped her from falling all the way to the ground, and she wouldn't get her clothes dirty.

When she woke up again, she was in the hospital with an IV going into her. Seeing that she had opened her eyes, Cucumber was finally able to let out a sigh of relief and said, "Young Miss, how are you feeling?" "I'm alright," said Nie AnAn in her soft voice, "I'm in the hospital?"

"Yes, Young Miss, you had passed out earlier." Cucumber said, "I'll let Boss Huo know that you are awake." "Did my brother know that I have passed out?" asked Nie AnAn. "Boss Huo was in a meeting at the time, so..." Cucumber was a bit dodgy toward the question. Nie AnAn got it right away. Huo YanXiao did find out, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, which would explain Cucumber's reaction.

The suspicion in her mind grew, what had caused Huo YanXiao to be so distant from her? Besides, she just recalled that only Qin ZiMing and his buddies were supposed to be at the club the other day. The original owner was insulted by them after her arrival, and Huo YanXiao wasn't there at all. There were just so many discrepancies between what was going on and how it was described in the book, making her grow progressively more suspicious.

Cucumber went to get Nie AnAn some food after he had finished sending the message. When Nie AnAn saw Cucumber returning with the takeout, she frowned. She looked at the IV that was almost all empty, hesitated for a quick second, and yanked it out. "I want to go home." She was hungry and wanted to go home for food. She absolutely refused to eat takeout.

Cucumber wasn't able to convince Nie AnAn otherwise, so he went to take care of her release and drove Nie AnAn back to the mansion. On their way back, Nie AnAn sent a message to Huo YanXiao, "Big brother, I have checked myself out of the hospital. What would you like to have for dinner?" It was close to the end of the workday, and Huo YanXiao was just wrapping up a business meeting. With a slightly happy look, he said, "This project had gone so well. Thank you all for your hard work!"

Inside the conference room, the senior management who helped him achieve his accomplishments today also looked more relaxed. "So, is Boss Huo going to take us out to dinner?" "Of cour..." Huo YanXiao looked down and read the message that just came in. When he looked up again, he said smoothly, "Of course, but not today. I have other arrangements today."
