Chapter 139: One Who Asked for Help
The next day, Xing went to visit Lord Zhong and tried to talk to her Uncle Feiye but he couldn’t be found. So she left after instructing Lord Zhong that it is extremely important for her to meet her uncle.
As she was about to enter the inner palace, she was stopped by a voice,
"Well, well! If this isn’t the granddaughter of Lu Changying?"
Of all the things he could say, why is he mentioning my grandmother? And that too by her name? Xing had never met anyone who’d mention her grandmother by her name. Even Lord Zhong calls her princess. Then Xing remembered how Lord Ran is close to Lord Zhong’s age and how Xu mama mentioned the entire city was in love with her grandmother before she eloped with her grandfather. So this guy hates the Huang family because her grandmother chose her grandfather?
" Lo... ", Xing turned to look at him and cleared her throat refusing to call him ’Lord’ , " Official Ran! ", She smiled elegantly,
Lord Ran was stunned to see her. Till now he had heard that Huang Mingxia was extremely beautiful from other people from the palace who had seen her but he never expected a heaven defying, earth shattering beauty in front of him. No wonder that third prince is madly in love with her! And how dare she addresses me as a mere official? Even the Emperor still addresses me as Lord!
Xing looked around to see not many people around, only a couple of guards were there.
" You are not even half as beautiful or elegant as Lu Changying", he sneered.
OK! I know that... The first person to truthfully tell me that I am ugly apart from Haru... I can respect that. But sorry, you are my enemy!
"Even if I am exactly like her, Official Ran, I’d still be a Huang. Like my father who looks exactly like her is a Huang - the third son of Huang Bojing and Lu Changying. Is that why you hate my father? Because he looks exactly like my grandmother but surnamed Huang and not.. ? ", Xing said without losing her smile and she could see Lord Ran’s face go red with anger.
