Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny - Chapter 11

Fan Mengxue left the broadcasting room. No sooner had she entered the car than a call came in from her agent, Han Yao.

Fan Mengxue picked it up.

What followed over the phone was a brutal outburst of rage from one of the most sought-after agents in the entertainment industry.

“Fan Mengxue, do you have any idea what you’re doing?”

“Of course I do!” Fan Mengxue said flatly.

“Do you? I think you’re completely clueless! Do you have any idea how much damage your words will do to the company?”

Fan Mengxue was non-committal.

“Do you know how much flak I took over the phone just now? If I hadn’t spoken on your behalf, who knows what would’ve happened to you. Our boss and his board of directors would’ve eaten you alive!”

After venting her anger, Han Yao’s tone finally softened. “Mengxue, you’re at your prime right now. Do know you how many investors are flocking to us with their money, just to get in on your fame and notoriety? But you’ve turned away half your fan base just by professing your love on television!”

“Han Yao, I completely understand, but he’s finally back!” replied Fan Mengxue in a cool tone.

Han Yao cried out in frustration for what seemed like ages. Then she said, “So what are you going to do about it?”

“I’m going to Beijiang to see him!”

“Don’t you dare!” Han Yao rejected abruptly. “You’re taking a flight to Europe tomorrow. There’s a world-famous director waiting to cast you in his next movie!”

“Sorry, I’m already on my way to Beijiang!” With that, Fan Mengxue ended the call and turned off her phone.

“Ms. Xue, where would you like to go?” asked the chauffeur carefully.

“To Beijiang!”

Fan Mengxue stared out the window of the car, gripping her cell phone tightly as the scenery outside streaked by.

Even the joints of her fingers had started to turn pale from exerting too much force.

The next day, it was still early in the morning when Tang Xuan’er came to Xue An’s house.

The first thing she saw when she opened the door was Xue An struggling to braid Xue Xiang and Xue Nian’s hair.

She had to admit, these things weren’t exactly a man’s forte, be it an immortal lord or a mere human.

Whenever their braids didn’t come out lopsided, their hair would be a frizzy mess, but the two little girls seemed to enjoy it, for they couldn’t stop chuckling.

Tang Xuan’er shook her head at Xue An’s pathetic attempt and decided to take over for him. In no time, the girls’ hair was tied into neat little braids.

“Are you going to wear this outside?” asked Tang Xuan’er.

“Yes, is there a problem?” replied Xue An.

Xue An was wearing a four-year-old shirt. Although it wasn’t terribly worn out, its style was admittedly outdated.

Tang Xuan’er wanted to point this out but decided to hold her tongue.

After everyone had dressed, the two adults led Xiangxiang and Niannian out of the neighborhood.

While they were waiting for their car, a brand spanking new BMW 530 pulled up by the roadside.

The car window slid down, revealing a gaudily dressed man who grinned intently at Tang Xuan’er.

“Xuan’er, I was on my way to fetch you! Come on, hop in! Brother Ming has it all planned out. We’re having a party at the Dragon Emperor Tower Hotel!”

Tang Xuan’er scowled.

The woman in the passenger seat popped her head out of the window. “Tang Xuan’er, what are you doing waiting outside on such a cold day? Come, my husband will give you a ride. By the way, we just bought a new car! This baby cost me 400 thousand dollars!”

The woman had pointy, calculative eyes and a condescending voice.

Tang Xuan’er was somewhat hesitant about whether to accept her offer. Just then, the pointy-eyed woman noticed Xue An.

“Well, if it isn’t Xue An!”

The man saw Xue An as well. He sized him up with a look of disdain and smugness on his face.

“What a surprise! The Great Scholar Xue is going to the party, too!”

“That’s Meng Wei and Zhang Yan from our class,” Tang Xuan’er mentioned softly.

After trying his hardest to remember them, Xue An finally mustered a faint recollection.

Back in school, Meng Wei was a lackey who always sucked up to the rich kids in the class.

As for Zhang Yan…

Let’s just say she had been a snob.

The two were practically made for each other.

Xue An’s mouth curled into a faint, awkward smile.

That was when he noticed a stall selling little accessories by the roadside.

“Papa, look how pretty they are!” Xue Xiang’s eyes glittered with excitement.

After all, girls would be girls. They all had a soft spot for shiny baubles. It was in their nature.

Xue An smiled. “Do you like them?”

“Yes, yes! I do!” Xue Xiang and Xue Nian answered simultaneously.

“Go right ahead and choose. My treat!”

The two girls sprang up with joy and began scouring the stall for their favorite accessories.

All the while, Xue An evaded Meng Wei and Zhang Yan’s gazes.

Zhang Yan pouted her lips in disdain and said, “Who does he think he’s fooling? He’s obviously a loser, so what’s the point in showing off?”

“Don’t say that. At least he can afford a few cheap accessories!” Meng Wei said with a sarcastic laugh.

By then, the girls had picked out a bunch of accessories. As Xue An paid for the accessories and took them into his hands, he imbued them with Spiritual Qi with a flicker of his mind.

What had originally been a bunch of cheap accessories began to transform imperceptibly.

“We bought something for you, too!” Xue An said plainly as he handed Tang Xuan’er a pair of earrings.

Tang Xuan’er accepted the earrings with a delighted smile on her face.

“Wow, these must be worth at least five bucks! They’re so shiny. Are they made of plastic? Xuan’er, you’d better not wear them. They might scratch your skin!” Zhang Yan mocked cruelly.

Upon hearing that, Tang Xuan’er started to feel a little embarrassed.

Xue An furrowed his eyebrows. That woman just didn’t know when to shut up.

“Sorry, Xue An, our car only seats four. If we take Xuan’er, you’ll have to sit in the trunk. Or you can just take the bus later!” said Meng Wei with an evil smirk.

Tang Xuan’er frowned. “You guys go ahead, then. We’ll take the bus in a while!”

Meng Wei looked as if he was about to say something, when all of a sudden, Xue Xiang blurted out, “Papa, this car isn’t as big as the one we rode in yesterday!”

“But Papa, yesterday Auntie Yu’er drove us home in such a big car!” Xue Nian added.

“Wow, they even rode in a big car. Was it a van?” Meng Wei laughed coldly.

Feeling full of herself, Zhang Yan said, “See this? This is the new car my husband bought yesterday. It’s a fifth series BMW. Ever sat in one before?”

Xue An’s expression remained indifferent, as if he was watching two clowns performing.

At that moment, a Mercedes stretch limousine drove up to them slowly.

The car came to a halt right where Xue An was standing, and a chauffeur stepped out and marched courtly towards Xue An.

“Courtesy of our mistress, Mr Xue, we’ll take you wherever you want to go. We’re at your service!”

Meng Wei and Zhang Yan stared in awe at the scene before their eyes. Their jaws dropped so wide that one could fit an egg inside their mouths.

The Mercedes’ grand appearance was like a slap across Zhang Yan’s face that left her dazed, with stars in her eyes. And to think just a moment before, she had been boasting about her new car.

In comparison, the BMW that Zhang Yan had been bragging so much about wasn’t even worth the price of the Mercedes’ tires.

Xue An was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected Qin Yu to be so thoughtful.

Then he nodded. “Alright, take us to the Dragon Emperor Tower Hotel!”

“Yes, sir!”

Adding insult to injury, Xue Xiang said to a stunned Meng Wei, “Mister, that’s the type of car Auntie Yu’er drove us in yesterday!”

Xue An let out a hearty laugh. For a couple of four-year-olds, his daughters sure were… devious!
