The memory of Lin Shen's and Sun Ju's first meeting made a sweet fragrance to linger in the air. Lin Shen kissed the top of Sun Ju's head and all his friends scrunched up their nose saying, "Chessy." He ignored them, it was not anything new for seeing his friends to make such comments. He was used to it by now.
"You guys have been together for how long now?" Asked Ye Jun with a curious expression.
"It's gonna been 10 years this summer," Replied Sun Ju with her eyes holding a loving gaze for her fiance.
"And on their 10th anniversary, they're getting married," Xu Mey said the words Sun Ju left unsaid. Making Ye Jun nod in understanding.
All of them were sharing their random experiences when suddenly the lights in the club turned off. "What's going on?" Wu Xia voiced out in fear of darkness.
They saw a candlelit moving towards them. The candle was placed on a cake and a tall person was holding it in hands. 'Who is he?' The question was in everyone's mind except for Xu Mey who got up from her place. "Jun Li Na, you got a way to congratulate huh?" She had a regal appearance matching the other person's grandiose presence.
Lights lit up the club again showing the person's graceful appearance. She looked like a young lady from a noble family that made Ye Jun awestruck. She made an unhappy expression and said in a complaining way, "I closed the club just for you and this is how you say thanks. I even baked this cake myself."
"Aiya, our dark world princess is really improving these days." Jun Li Na placed the cake on the table and narrowed her eyes at Xu Mey with her hands on her waist in an imposing way. Xu Mey chuckled a bit and said, "I was just messing with you, princess."
Both beautiful ladies shared a warm hug and Xu Mey introduced everyone to Jun Li Na. In normal days, Jun Li Na was known as the heiress of a biggest Real Estate Company. But on not so normal days, she was associated with the underworld people because of her family's old history. For people, they were a clean company but Jun's still had connections. Very strong ones at that. Jun Li Na spent her weekends running the illusion nightclub which was her sole business.
Xu Mey only talked about her being an heiress of Real Estate Company and left the other matters untold. Xu Mey blew the candle and cut the cake but since she didn't like eating sweet things, Jun Li Na had Spicy Rice Cakes for her. Xu Mey dug into the spicy rice cakes as if her life depended on it.
They stayed at the club till midnight and finally decided to call it a night. Ye Jie offered to drop Xu Mey which she politely accepted. Ye Jie was driving his red sports car on an empty highway and Xu Mey was looking out the windows at the cold winter night. The lights on the road seemed dreamier and gentler to her, easing up her mind.
Xu Mey observed the way Ye Jie was avoiding her gaze and felt his brooding expression affecting her. "Do you 'Like sitting on a carpet of needles' (To feel tense and uneasy) Because of the wedding tomorrow?"
Ye Jie shook his head with a small smile and turned his attention back to the road. He wasn't nervous about the wedding. In fact, if someone would ask him, he would say he's excited for some reason. The idea of spending his life with the most unpredictable girl was excitement in itself.
Ye Jie's denial didn't ease up the knot in Xu Mey's mind. She had an intuition, he was hiding something from her. Xu Mey never liked the idea of someone keeping things from her. She remembered the way he was looking anxiously at his phone during the party.
Thinking about this, she sent a text to Li Na. 'NaNa, Do me a favor.' By the time, she came back to her room, Li Na sent Ye Jie's phone record for the past month which she asked for her. Xu Mey changed into her night clothes before looking through his records. It wasn't that eye-catching. But a text sent about 3 days caught her sight which had her name in it.
'Mr. Ye, it's Xu Liqing here. I want to meet you in person. Please, it's related to Xu Mey.' This was the first text from Xu Liqing to Ye Jie which was sent the same day she came back. There were more to follow.
'Mr. Ye, even if you disconnect my calls you have to know that I can't let you ruin your life by marrying my sister.'
'She's not a nice person. Do you know, she even tried to kill me when she was in high school. You have contacts, you can ask around about that incident. I'm not lying to you.'
'She's a jealous person. She'll ruin you along with your family. She only seems quiet but she isn't that quiet or simple.'
'Mr. Ye, your fiance is having an affair with another guy. You can see me before the wedding at the back storage room of the hotel and I'll show you the proof of her being unfaithful to you.'
After reading the texts, a wry smile appeared and her eyes held a dark look. "Seems like you love to interfere in my life." She looked at her reflection in the mirror. "You need to learn a lesson." Te smile on her face chilled. "Yes you do and being your elder sister, I'll be kind enough to teach you a lesson." She replied to her own self.
A burst of evil laughter resonated inside her bedroom filling the room with a dark chill. She dialed a number and waited for the other party to pick up. "Hello!" A sleepy voice was heard from the other side.
"Director Yang, I believe you're healthy," She said in her usually gentle voice completely hiding her evil aura.
"To what do I do to owe this pleasure to have Vintage's CEO calling me at this hour of the night? Did I do something to offend you, Ms. Xu?" Director Yang's voice was cautious as his heartbeat was getting harsh.
"No, no, Director Yang didn't do anything to offend me," Director Yang breathed in relief but her next words made his breath hitch. "Yet."
Director Yang gulped audibly. "What can I do to avoid offending Ms. Xu?" His tone was really polite.
Director Yang was a 35-year-old man with an aspiring future ahead of him. But the girl on the other side of the phone was known as a devil. He'd met her only once but he heard about her reputation at plenty of occasions.
My Macbook ditched me today *Sobs*
Its a little inconvenient to write from cell phone but just for you guys I'm trying here.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter along with Xu Mey's psychotic nature.
Until next time!!!
Xu Mey took a deep breath after discussing the way of not offending her with Director Yang. It wasn't much of a big deal.
"I heard you're taking a small time actress in your next movie as a lead?" She asked indifferently. Director Yang replied with a 'Yes'. She further said, "Leaving a top star like Song Yuling, Director Yang is settling for a petty actress? It's such a shame."
"Song Yuling is in Hollywood," Director Yang replied keeping his humble tone.
"Yuling is coming next week. And she'd love to work with Director Yang." Director Yang couldn't believe her words.
"But Ms. Xu, Xu Enterprises is one of the biggest investors and if I kicked Xu Liqing out from the crew, they'll pull their investments." Director Yang stated his dilemma making Xu Mey frown.
"Would you like for Lotus Entertainments to invest in your movie or Xu Enterprises?"
"Of course, Lotus Entertainments," Director Yang was elated to hear the Lotus Entertainments name. It was known to be the biggest Entertainment company with all the supermodels and actors signed under them. They even had some signers along with directors in their team. Lotus Entertainment was built from scratch by one and only Mr. Li Qiao.
"Then, I think you know what you need to do." Without hearing Director Yang's reply, Xu Mey disconnected the call.
She laid on the bed flipping her phone in hand and finally, dialed the number of Li Qiao. "Little Mey, are you alright?" He was worried when he saw her name flash on his phone screen.
"Qiao, Song Yuling is coming next week, right?" Li Qiao hummed in reply still confused about her calling at this time. "I told Director Yang that she'll be his new lead actress and you will also invest in the film."
"Okay," Was the only answer he gave.
"You won't ask why I did it?"
"Never. Lotus Entertainment is as much yours as it's mine. You can do whatever you want to do, Little Mey. I won't mind. Now, stop worrying and go to sleep. My little girl is getting married tomorrow." Xu Mey could hear the love in his voice and it made the chill around her to dissipate a bit.
After his talk with Xu Mey, Li Qiao called his assistant and said in his stern voice, "Inform Song Yuling, she's gonna sign a movie with Director Yang next week and arrange our production team to have a meeting with Director Yang to discuss the details of investments."
The first thing in the morning, Xu Mey heard a loud shriek of Xu Liqing which made her day seem brighter. With a smirk, she got out of her bed.
Xu Mey went to the wedding hall earlier than she was supposed to. Her maid was holding her wedding dress along with other accessories behind her. "You can give it to me." The maid looked at the boy who offered to help and shook her head to refuse his offer.
"Give him the things and you can leave," She heard Xu Mey's voice and gave the things in her hand to the boy before her with pursed lips. "You're late, Qin Hao."
Qin Hao cleared his throat. "Sorry about that Boss."
"I don't like apologies and you know that," She walked inside the bridal room as Qin Hao followed behind with his head lowered. "Did you set up everything?"
"Yes, I did," He passed a tablet to Xu Mey and said, "All the cameras are attached and you'll be able to see everything from here." Xu Mey nodded and asked him to leave.
She tapped her fingers on the dressing table and heard the door open behind her. Jun Li Na walked inside in her green colored dress that reached her knees and Sun Ju was beside her in a pink colored mermaid gown. "You're planning something?" Li Na gave her an ecstatic look and Sun Ju rolled her eyes at them.
"Who's getting a face slap?" Sun Ju asked with curiosity.
Xu Mey showed her cunning smile making a cold shiver run down her spine. "You'll know." Both Jun Li Na and Sun Ju was excited about her giving a face slap. Because the person being slapped hardly knew who delivered the crisp slap to their faces.
Xu Mey turned on the tablet and all cameras were showing the view of hall, doorway, and storage room. Xu Mey saw Xu Liqing entering the storage room in her bright blue colored dress that barely reached her mid-thighs. Her brown hair was tied up in a side bun with various pearl accessories complimenting her dress. Her puffy panda eyes were hidden beneath layers of make-up.
Xu Liqing sent a text to Ye Jie which Xu Mey received on her phone as well. She asked Li Na to hack Xu Liqing's phone and connect it with her own. Liqing didn't even know when Li Na's people placed a small chip inside her phone. Now, Xu Mey would know about every call and every other activity on her phone. The text read; 'Mr. Ye, I'm in the storage room. You should come discretely.'
Xu Mey waited for 30 minutes. She was waiting to see whether Ye Jie will go to meet Xu Liqing or not. When he didn't show up for half an hour, she perceived he won't be coming. And the thought of him showing trust in her made her really happy. "It's time for me to make a move now." She stood up leaving two beauties with their mischievous looks.
Face slap?? Hmmm... We can surely think about that dear Xu Mey.
