They stayed at Kyoto where Hua Rong had a meeting to attend. The meeting lasted for five days and it ended with a party. In the party, all the presidents' family members were present. Hua Rong's family had no exception. Hue Mei and Hua Lan were also there.

While Hua Mei was happily playing with several girls, Hua Lan was observing people and eating pastries silently. Just then, Zhuang Lei walked towards her.

She smiled and said, "Xiao Lan, are you having fun?"

Hua Lan glanced at her aunt and replied, "I am. Do you want some?" She pointed out the pastry. "It tastes good."

Zhuang Lei rubbed her head and said, "I'm not hungry. You eat. But don't eat too much, it will cause stomachache."

Hua Lan obediently nodded. "Alright."

Zhuang Lei was still beside her as she was eating, just then, Hua Mei was running towards them and collided to Hua Lan. With the quarter plate in her hand, Hua Lan fell on the ground. The pastry was smashed and the plate was shattered into million of pieces. It cut her tiny, delicate hands. Blood gashed out.

Hua Lan whimpered. Her new injuries stung. Her small, while hands were covered in blood.

Hua Mei was nervous watching everyone looking at her. She wept and said, "Xiao Lan, I'm so sorry. I was only playing. I didn't mean to hurt you. Are you in pain?"

She cutely wailed making everyone feel sorry for her. They realized that it was just an accident. Kids were reckless. They were bound to make mistake.

Zhuang Lei sat beside Hua Lan and helped her to sit up. She looked at little kid's wounds and scolded her daughter, "Xiao Mei, you are too much. Look what you did to your sister!"

Hearing her mother reprimanding her, Hua Mei wailed a little louder.

Hua Rong came forward and consoled his girls. "Okay Lei, you don't have to scold her. It was an accident. Let's treat Xiao Lan's injuries. Xiao Mei, come with dad."

As he reached out, Mei went to his embrace and he hugged her. He patted her back to console her.

Zhuang Lei said, "I'm worried about Xiao Lan. I will take her to the hospital."

Hua Rong agreed, "I can't leave the party. I will ask the driver to take you two to the hospital."

Zhuang Lei agreed. "Hurry, call the driver. Xiao Lan lost too much blood."

Hua Rong called the driver and the driver bought the car in front of the entrance. Hua Rong and Zhuang Lei were waiting in the entrance with Hua Mei and Hua Lan. Zhuang Lei went inside he car as soon as the car had arrived. The car drove off.

Hua Lan was feeling weak. It was the first time her hand was cut and she was bleeding. Her eyelids were coming down. She tried to stay awake, but she was couldn't.

While she was sleeping, she heard a man and a woman were talking. One was her aunt's voice, another one sounded familiar but she couldn't recognize. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a man wearing white medical coat.ChapterMid();

'Is he a doctor?' She thought. He looked like someone she knew before. After looking for a few seconds she realized that it was the doctor who said that her mother couldn't live longer. She wondered, 'Why is he here? Isn't this Japan?'

She tried to listen what they were talking about.

The doctor spoke, "You are brave for sure, Mrs. Hua. I have to give you that."

"I gave you what you wanted. Now hand other the money to me." Zhuang Lei said. She was excited and was in a hurry.

The doctor gave a satisfactory smile. "In exchange of her life, I will give you two billion dollars. You are in a win win situation. You are getting two billion dollars from us and after you prove that she is dead, you will get another two billion from her. How long did you plan all these?"

"It took me two years. Now that I accomplished, no one can stop me from now one. Their family is finished." Zhuang Lei cruelly said.

"Isn't Zhuan Zhen is your twin elder sister? Why do you want to harm her so much? Also, I noticed that her first name is Zhuan and your first name is Zhuang. Why are your family names different?" The doctor curiously asked.

"None of your business. I simple hate her, that's all." She reached out her hand. "Now give me money."

The doctor handed her over a briefcase. "Check it if you want."

Zhuang Lei opened the briefcase and her eyes shown as she saw the cash. "It's perfect." She closed the lid and said, "She is all yours now. Make a good use of her. I will be going then."

Hua Lan couldn't understand most of the part. What she understood was her aunt was leaving without her. "A-aunt?" She called out weakly.

Zhuang Lei stiffened. So, did the doctor.

"You are awake?" She asked looking down in the ground.

Hua Lan who was in cold could said, "Aunt, where is this place? Aren't we going to the hospital? Aunt I'm cold."

Zhuang Lei sneered. She walked closer and put his right leg on her cheek. Hua Lan's soft cheek became red and marked as a shape of shoe. She whimpered. She could hardly believe that her aunt would do something like this.

No one treated her like that before. After her father left her, she was experiencing new things everyday and it wasn't pleasant at all.

Zhuang Lei snickered. "You wretch, you mother took everything from me. Because of you, my daughter had to suffer. You mother-daughter pair is an eyesore. I took care of her. But now you also became a hinder in my goal. I have to get rid of you. Enjoy being a lab rat forever."

She put more strength on her foot. She wanted to crash this tiny face. 'Just like her mother. An eyesore!'

"Uu…" Hua Lan was hit by Zhuang Lei many times. But it was a new kind of pain. She was feeling betrayed.
