"What... What do you mean?" Xu Mey asked staring back at her.
Fu Shuang supported Jun Li Na"s body and told Xu Mey, "It happened last week. Because Lu family was in trouble, the elders thought to tie the know between Jun Li Na and Lu Ge as soon as possible. They filed for marriage in the court just a few days ago. Lu family got the support they needed and Jun Li Na"s dream of marrying him came true."
Xu Mey pondered at the side for a while and kept staring at Jun Li Na"s swollen eyes. "Are you happy to marry him?" Jun Li Na lifted her eyes and Xu Mey went on, "Do you finally realize that some dreams have the tendency to turn into our nightmares?"
"But I loved him for so long. I don"t even think that I can love anyone other than him." Jun Li Na was breaking down into tiny pieces inwardly. The conflict inside of her was unknown to Xu Mey.
Xu Mey held her wrist in a tight grip and asked, "After what you just saw inside, can you look at him in the same way as you did before? How can you be so gullible? I thought you"re stronger than this."
"But love can make you gullible and weak." Jun Li Na remarked.
Xu Mey snorted. "If the love is turning you into a weakling then that love doesn"t deserve you. Because true love can never make you feel lost." Xu Mey thought about Ye Jie"s smiling face and said, "Love gives you the courage to stand tall and fight. It doesn"t bring self-doubt instead it brings self-confidence to love your own self." Jun Li Na stared at Xu Mey and stopped crying. "This plan is going down today."
Xu Mey called the reporters again and hid around the corner with the other two.
There is a quality of reporters, they always end up at the scene even before the police. Xu Mey had slipped the master key to a reporter through the hotel staff and as they rushed into the suite, Xu Mey could hear Xu Liqing"s shrieks and a manly roar.
"Ms. Xu, is it true that you"re having an affair with your sister"s husband?" A reporter shot up the question immediately catching Xu Liqing off guard.
"Is the person beside you actually your brother-in-law?" Another one chimed in.
"Ms. Xu, you"ve been recently involved in a drug case and now this shameful act. Don"t you think that you"re actually staining Xu Family"s reputation?" The reporters got fierce with their questions while Xu Liqing was dumbfounded with the scene before her. Wrapped in blankets to hide her nakedness, she had no idea, what was going around herself.
Outside the room, Xu Mey called Fu Lan. "h.e.l.lo, dear step-mother!"
"Why the h.e.l.l are you calling me?" Fu Lan had just woken up and in her groggy state, she didn"t notice Xu Mey"s changed tone.
"Aiyo, dear step-mother, how can you sleep at a time like this when your daughter"s being stripped naked before the world." Xu Mey smirked.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Fu Lan was surely not going to believe Xu Mey so easily.
"Why don"t you check some news channel," Xu Mey suggested like a humble person.
Fu Lan instantly turned on the tv and right before her in live news, she saw Xu Liqing sitting on a bed with a blanket wrapped around her body. The headline read: "A sister is actually s.n.a.t.c.hing another sister"s husband." Her mind reeled. "You! Did you do this?" Fu Lan shouted.
"So, what if I did?" Xu Mey argued.
"Huh? So, this meek little girl has grown some feathers and is wis.h.i.+ng to fly. Just because of a husband, don"t be so arrogant!" Fu Lan spoke indignantly.
"Aiyo, you surely are an idiot if you think that I can"t fly. Ms. Fu Lan, I called to tell you that from this point onwards your miserable life is starting. Because grandfather will surely throw both you b*tches out of our family."
Fu Lan laughed menacingly. "Haha... What a joke! That old man can"t do anything to me, I still have my shares in the Xu Corporation, I can ruin his company in a minute."
"Oh, you really are delusional like your daughter. But it"s alright, I"ll make sure to get you a good doctor. Bye, bye!"
"I"ll kill you, Xu Mey!" Xu Mey heard Fu Lan"s annoying voice making her rub her ear.
"Oh, yeah? I"ll be waiting for that." Xu Mey provoked her on purpose.
"Why did you tell aunt that you"re the one behind it all?" Fu Shuang was confused. It was clearly his idea then why did she take the blame. Was she saving him? No, no... He shook his head to get rid of such ridiculous thoughts. She must have something planned again.
"One... Two..." Instead of answering his question, Xu Mey counted. "Three..." Fu Shuang"s cell phone rang. "She is right on time."
Fu Shuang frowned and looked at the caller id. It was a call from Fu Lan. "Attend it and act normal." Xu Mey instructed Fu Shuang and he nodded.
He turned to a side and connected the call. "Hi, aunt! Is everything okay? Why are you calling me so late?"
"Shuang, I know you must be tired after the birthday party and auntie is sorry for not being able to attend. But I need your help." Fu Lan"s anxious voice rang out from the other side.
"It"s okay auntie. Your blessings are always with me. Please, do tell how can I be of help?" Xu Mey praised Fu Shuang"s acting skills.
"Liqing is stuck in a situation. Please, help her get out of there." Xu Mey rolled her eyes at the side.
"Tell me in detail. So, I can see how I can help her." Fu Lan told him whatever she knew which was nothing much. "Let me get there. Auntie, don"t worry. I"ll do something for sure."
"What are we playing?" Fu Shuang asked the instant he disconnected the call with Fu Lan.
"I"m playing the bad cop and you"re gonna play the good cop."
