"What are you saying, grandfather? I'm not lying to you all." Xu Liqing got anxious hearing Grandfather Xu's words. She knew her grandfather loved Xu Mey. She thought he was trying to save her. "I even locked her in the storage room. You can check yourself."
Sharing a meaningful look, all the elders decided to follow Xu Liqing. "She's still inside and she might be having another episode. So, be careful she can be violent." She was being cautious, she was making Mother Ye and Father Ye have a bad impression of Xu Mey.
She took the key and opened the lock but what awaited her was an empty storage room. There was not a single person inside. Xu Liqing was baffled and in her frustration, she started acting like a crazed person.
"I told you Liqing, Xu Mey's been in the bridal room for hours now." Grandfather Xu again spoke up for his eldest granddaughter.
"Believe me, everyone. She was here. I locked her here myself." Xu Liqing's face was stained with tears. Fu Lan hugged her daughter and murmured lightly, "I believe you, sweetheart."
All the elders went to the bridal room to check on Xu Mey.
Actually, Grandfather Xu and Xu Liqing were both telling the truth. Both of them spent the time with a Xu Mey. But that's different that one met with the real Xu Mey in the storage room and the other met Jun Li Na who was replacing Xu Mey for a while. Jun Li Na and Xu Mey had quite similar features but the real magic was in Sun Ju's face pack which covered her face.
When the elders walked inside the bridal room, the real Xu Mey was already dressed in her bridal wear and was getting her make-up touched. "Is everything okay, grandfather? You just left a few minutes ago." Xu Liqing was baffled once again but this time the reason was the beautiful face of Xu Mey.
Xu Liqing always thought she was the prettiest daughter because Xu Mey always wore baggy clothes to hide her figure and her hair was always in a mess in front of her face along with her big glasses, she looked like a nerd.
"Your sister said, you slapped her." Fu Lan had a grim expression not liking the way Xu Mey looked.
"But step-mother, little sister didn't even come to me. How can I possibly slap my own sister?" Xu Liqing thought herself to be the smartest one but she never took her opponent to be the cunning one. Xu Mey not only said that she didn't slap Xu Liqing, in turn, she even blamed her for not even coming to her sister on her wedding day.
Xu Mey was keeping her head lowered and her every word was spoken with so much respect that anybody could feel how much scared she was. Xu Liqing wanted to puke blood on her acting skills which surpassed even her own. She so wanted to scratch Xu Mey's face at the moment.
"Why would she blame you if you didn't hit her?" Fu Lan was convinced that a cowardly person like Xu Mey could never hit Xu Liqing but she couldn't ignore her own daughter's words. Also, it was a good way to humiliate Xu Mey in front the Ye's.
"I think step-mother, sister is really troubled because of losing the lead role in the movie. That's why in her crestfallen state she must be hallucinating. It happens to a lot of people." Xu Mey was laughing in her mind just like Li Na and Ju who stood at a corner.
It was a real challenge for them to control their laughter from escaping. 'I thought her heart was evil. I just realized even her soul is evil.' Sun Ju thought in her mind. While Li Na had her own thoughts, 'Scheming B*tchs, she's always ten steps ahead of you.'
"You're saying that my daughter is going crazy that is why she is having hallucinations?" Fu Lan was fuming with rage.
"I-I did-didn't mean that step-mother." Xu Mey's whole body trembled as a pitiful person and teardrops fell down her face.
"That's enough." Father Xu talked after listening clearly. "Xu Mey said she was in the room and even dad was with her. The wedding ceremony is about to start, so let's not create a scene here." He took all the elders with him out the door.
Xu Liqing was the last to exit and she heard Xu Mey's scary voice from behind making her halt. "The game has just begun, little princess."
After the door closed behind Xu Liqing, Sun Ju locked the door and couldn't control the laughter she was holding. "Gosh, you really are a scary person. Your acting even convinced me that you're a pitiful girl."
"Oh, by the way, where did the tears come from?" Jun Li Na asked with interest.
"To beat someone at their own game, one has to pick a trick or two. If a b*tch try to play with a fox, it has to bear the consequences." The three of them shared another fit of laughter.
"Mom, I'm telling the truth. She's really hiding deeply." Xu Liqing was trying to convince her mother that Xu Mey was scheming against them.
"Liqing, I know how much you hate her. And I also know it was a good plan to humiliate Xu Mey in front of her in-laws but you should have been careful with the plan. Your Grandfather was with her all this time. He's an albeit. Nobody would believe what you're saying." Fu Lan tried to comfort her daughter. "And you also know Xu Mey can never be scheming. The way we've changed her antidepressants all these years is enough to make her into a timid little girl she is today."
"Don't worry, Mom will make you Ye Jie's wife. Mrs. Ye will get tired of her timid nature sooner or later and then it'll be easy for you to take her place. If not, I'll just ruin her to make you Ye Jie's wife." Fu Lan stated with a resolute look assuring Xu Liqing who smiled hearing her mother's plan.
Cunning Xu Mey vs scheming b*tch...
Who's the final winner? Don't forget to share your thoughts.
Until next time!!!
Globe string lights in rose gold color were draped from the welcome table. A ton of Lanterns was hung from the hall's ceiling making it as a winter fairytale. The dangling lights along with flowers made a perfect atmosphere. Around 50 round tables with 6 seats each were set up in the hall. The chairs were decorated with sparkly rose gold sashes with a silk flower which added an extra layer of glamour.
Pedestal and floating candles aisle decor added a stratum of beauty and sophistication. The wedding arch was designed with flowing sheer fabric draped Chuppah with Flower Accents.
When Xu Mey entered the hall, Ye Jie had a cheeky smile. The veil they decided on last time was semi-transparent with embroidered flowers on it. It didn't give a clear view of her face but her aura alone was enough to leave people in awe. That slit down her knee was showing her long slim leg with each step she took.
Exchanging rings vows, all in all, the ceremony was long and tiring for both Xu Mey and Ye Jie. After the ceremony, they had to greet the guests but Ye Jie didn't let her take off the veil.
But Xu Mey ignored him and took the veil off her face. The guests were already in awe of her beauty.
"Miss Xu, this is for you," A girl in her early twenties presented a small gift to Xu Mey with a polite and respectful smile. Xu Mey didn't pay much attention to her and placed the gift on the table beside her.
After a while came a young man with black rimmed glasses. "Miss Xu, this is to congratulate you on your wedding." He presented the gift with a bow and left the way he came.
"Ex-boyfriends are on the run," Wu Wang tried to tease her but Ye Jie's expression halted his movements.
"Well, seems like I'm late on my little Mey's wedding."
"Uncle Wu!" Xu Mey was surprised and also very happy to see Wu Wang's father. "You said, you can't make it." She looked accusingly at him.
Uncle Wu chuckled and gave her a side hug. "I had to come. My little Mey is getting married. I had to see the rascal who's snatching you from us." Uncle Wu turned to Ye Jie. "Young man, if you hurt my little Mey even a bit, I'll be a very hostile person."
"I won't hurt her, Mr. Wu."
"You better not."
"Wu-Wong, what are you doing here?" Grandfather Xu and Father Ye came when they saw Uncle Wu.
"Naturally, I'm here to congratulate my little Mey." Uncle Wu replied in an obvious kind of way making Wu Wang and Xu Mey roll their eyes.
"You are familiar with Xu Mey?" Father Ye asked with uncertainty.
"She's my son's best friend for 20 years. I obviously am more than familiar with her."
"Ugh! Why are you here earlier than us?" They turned to see Li Man and He Kun with presents in their hands.
"Looks like I won this round," Uncle Wu laughed proudly.
"Auntie Li, Uncle He thanks for coming," Xu Mey greeted both Li Man and He Kun with equal enthusiasm.
"We had to come, our little Mey." The way they greeted each other made it obvious that they were really close.
Xu Cheng was not happy with his daughter being so affectionate to outsiders but he still was happy for the fact that those outsiders brought a smile to his daughter's face.
"Am I the last one to arrive?" Lin Han's voice sounded near them. "Oh my, our little Mey is dazzling today. I might get blind."
Xu Mey laughed lightly at his words. "Uncle Han is making fun of me now."
"Oh no baby, I'm serious. Our little Mey is mesmerizing as always." Li Man, He Kun agreed with Lin Han's words.
It was like a jolly atmosphere with all of her best friends and their parents. Only Jun Li Na's parents couldn't make it but the rest treated her like their own precious daughter. The number of time Ye Jie was warned by all of them about hurting her can't be counted on two hands.
Because of Xu Liqing, Fu Lan left right after the ceremony. So, naturally, she didn't see the way all those conglomerates treated Xu Mey. If she had seen it, she would have believed in her daughter's words.
"You seem to be worried about something," Lin Shen asked Ye Jie noticing the look on his face.
"I'm not worried. It's just that I don't know if I can really make a place in her heart for myself." Ye Jie shared his heartfelt thought with Lin Shen.
Lin Shin smiled at him. "It's very easy." Ye Jie looked at him. "Little Mey's heart is empty." Ye Jie gave him a baffled look. "It's true. Her heart is really empty. She'd never dated a single person in her life before. She's like a naive girl when it comes to love and relationships."
"To fill that heart, you have to give her what she never had before." Wu Wang joined their conversation with a wine glass in hand.
"What is it that she never had?"
"A home that is solely hers." He Jian added his words in.
"And a loving person who is solely hers." Li Qiao also had to add his thoughts.
Ye Jie was trying to understand their words when he heard a feminine voice. "Most of all, she needs trust. If you're willing to trust her, she'll not only give you her heart but even her soul if you ask for it." Jun Li Na's words made all the boys nod in agreement.
Ye Jie looked at his wife stuck between the elders. His eyes had an indescribable feeling of affection. He was also impressed by her. Even watching a complete dark side of hers in the storage room, he couldn't stop himself from being attracted to her.
It felt like the devil in her was provoking him in a way that he couldn't ignore her dazzling and enchanting presence.
I wanted to describe a mesmerizing wedding and I don't know whether I succeeded or not in my mission.
I'm so glad to see the response of you guys that I'm over the moon. Thanks a lot, my loyal readers. I'm here all because of you guys. You guys make my world a little brighter every single day.
Until next time!!!
