There was a sudden earth-shattering scream followed by a phone hitting the wall and scattering all over the floor.
Liu Weiyoung moved to where are bedroom vanity table was and looked at her reflection on the mirror. Although it was noon,She was still wearing a messy pink pyjamas. Her usually bright and rosy skin looked rather pale, There were dark circles under her eyes, her eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with anger and her always combed hair was a total mess.
She had tried reaching Mo Jinyong severally but he had still refused to take her calls. Now, his line was even unreachable?
It had been a week since her engagement party, and since then she had been living worse than a ghost. Every second she kept remembering the conversation she had had with Jinyong the day before.
After he suddenly left the engagement party that day, she had been worried and tried reaching him. He told her he wanted to take care of something and would stop by her place once he was done.
After waiting for him for a whole night and nights after, he still did not show up.
The next day, which was a Sunday, she tried reaching him but he still did not take her calls. After visiting her parent"s house, she dropped by his place that evening but he wasn"t there. After several days, she finally traveled to one of his Villas that was on the outskirt of the city. Fortunately, she had the pa.s.scode to the villa so she was able to enter easily.
When the door opened, She was welcomed with an unpleasant sight of wine bottles scattered everywhere, packets of empty cigarettes littered all over and a drunk Jinyong sitting on the floor with his left elbow and back resting on the couch. He held a full gla.s.s of wine in his right hand.
He was looking so unkept that the sight frightened Weiyoung. He looked like he had not shaved for a week, hair was messy and unkept. His clothes were the worse she had ever seen anyone on. He was even worse looking like the beggars she had seen on the streets.
"Mo Jinyong! What are you doing?" Weiyoung asked as she took the gla.s.s of wine from him and placed it on the table.
He lifted his head to look at her then sighed and reached for a stick of cigarette on the table.
His eyes scared her. There were so red and Hus gaze was empty. Like he was an empty soul
She didn"t back down. She beat him to it and took the cigarette from his hand.
"Liu Weiyoung! What do you think you are doing?" He asked in annoyance.
She ignored him and took out her phone from her handbag then dialed a number.
Jinyong"s phone which was beside him started vibrating. He turned to look at it and saw that it was Weiyoung calling.
Weiyoung looked at him with annoyance and he also raised his head to look at her.
"Have you gone insane? So you have been seeing my calls all this while? Have you forgotten we were supposed to pay my parents a visit? I had to cover up for you!" She screamed at him.
Jinyong helped himself up with the help of the couch as he moved closer to her.
He was drunk and annoyed and the last thing he needed was to be scolded by a woman. His mother Mo Aida, had given him the scolding of his life when she met him the next day after his engagement party. She had called him a disgrace for stooping so low as to date someone like Sara and had warned him to make sure to not lose the support of the Li Family.
Even though Mo Dexi was her brother, Mo Jinyong was her son, and no matter what, she still felt there was hope for Mo Jinyong to take over the business one day since Mo Dexi was rather irresponsible. Who would have thought that her precious son Mo Jinyong was even more lecherous that her brother?
When Weiyoung noticed him walking towards her like a Zombie, she s.h.i.+vered and took a few steps back until her back was pressed against the wall. Before she could do anything else, he made a lunge at her and grabbed her by the throat.
She was startled by his action and tried to wrench free from his grasps but he refused to let go.
"How dare you talk to me that way Liu Weiyoung! I could end your life this instant if I put my mind to it"
Weiyoung was shocked. She had never seen Jinyong act this way towards her. She felt the air closing in on her as hot tears streamed down her face. She tried pulling his hand away with both her hands but her efforts were futile.
Jinyong suddenly released his hands and pushed her to the floor.
She fell down and coughed violently, trying to catch her breath as she cradled her belly.
"Mo....Mo..Jin...Yong!" She stuttered as tears kept pouring.
Jinyong moved back to get the gla.s.s of wine on the table and gulped down everything.
"Are you trying to kill our baby?...what?.... What did I do to deserve this inhumane treatment from you?" She screamed at his back as she raised herself from the ground.
He turned back to look at her and his gaze landed on her belly.
He then gave a breathy laugh.
"Of course! that thing can leave!" He said, pointing at her stomach. "If I can"t have the backing of the Li family, there"s no need to father a child. You know quite well that your family plus mine put together cannot be compared to half of the Li"s"
He dropped the wine gla.s.s and staggered to where she was standing again.
