Capítulo 174: Foolish Enough
When Ye Ming arrived inside Liu Zijian's office, Han Meixiu was busy with her own laptop.
The sound of the door opening and closing, made the young woman who was leisurely sitting cross-legged on the sofa pulled back her attention from what she was doing and looked at the door.
"Ye Ming, where is Zijian?"
"The Second Young Master Liu will be here in half an hour. He asked me to inform you that you'll eat lunch together."
"I see."
As Ye Ming was about to excuse himself he heard Han Meixiu again thus he turned around.
"When I was abducted, can you tell me what happened to my husband?" Her voice was gentle like a spring breeze but her question made Ye Ming flinched.
"This.."
Seeing his discomfort, Han Meixiu smiled.
"It's okay. Never mind. I'll ask him myself." She dismissively said.
Ye Ming sighed in relief. There was an unclear order how to answer the young mistress thus he didn't know how much information he should say.
It was a good thing she didn't press him further. He bowed and excused himself.
He could still remember vividly the moment the two of them wanted to control the steering wheel of the car.
Liu Zijian was extremely agitated that time as his focus was only on the speeding car they were chasing as it directly went into the sea.
He didn't listen to him even though he was shouting non-stop. He didn't have much of a choice but to try to take control but the result was devastating. The car spun several times.
It was actually a miracle that they survived. He tried to take the hit coming from different direction to protect Liu Zijian. He was willing to sacrifice his life. Who would have thought he was able to survive and now he's back again.
It was probably at some point when he collapsed, Liu Zijian saved him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be standing again beside of him.
Han Meixiu felt distressed as she remembered those almost invisible scars on his body. She originally thought those were just probably part of her imagination but thinking how Liu Zijian treated her, he must have been worried when she was missing.
Those almost non existent scars were probably during that time.
If Liu Zijian wouldn't tell her, there's still Mommy Yi.
Her phone rang and after checking the caller, she enthusiastically answered it with a smile.
"What do you want to eat for lunch?" He gently asked.
"You can choose. I want to eat here in your office." Han Meixiu quickly answered. She wanted to ask him and it would be better to have a talk about sensitive topics in his own turf rather than outside.
When Liu Zijian arrived, there were two people carrying the lunch they were about to share closely following him.
After arranging the table, the two started their meal and quietly finished it.
As they wait for the tea to be served, Liu Zijian saw the folder he left for Han Meixiu to work on.
"You finished quickly." He commented with a pleasant tone.
"It wasn't that hard. I also wrote down some analysis I made and questions about some data that needed to be double checked. You can review them."
Liu Zijian smile deepened and went back to the sofa where the young woman was sitting lazily. It was just as he expected. Han Meixiu didn't need to be spoon fed when working. He only showed her once and she was able to grasp the process.
"So what do you want to talk about? I have few minutes to spare you." He teasingly said. He knew she wanted to discuss something. He could sense her 'excitement'.
"The dream that Mister Di showed me was a black beehive. Beehive. Bee like B. It's similar to black.com's logo. It's surrounded with white peonies. Would that mean they use that man power agency to get people?"
"En. Not just white peony."
"Then, is black.com's leader a woman?"
"Why do you think so?"
"Bees are lead by their queen. If the information that Mr. Di gave me is correct then black.com's leader is a woman. To put it precisely, their leader....is it..my mom?"
"I don't think Mr. Di would lie. The information he gave you isn't known outside."
"Not even LCG?"
"Yes, not even LCG. Only those who worked closely with the leader would know. The closest information we got was that the leader would not maintain a single identity."
"Meaning she could be a normal old lady to a famous celebrity?"
"En. That's why it's hard to catch her."
"Then, if my mom is their leader, I probably met her already without knowing?"
"Yes. Probably."
Han Meixiu became silent as she tried to recall a meeting with any woman she could think of. Unfortunately nothing stood out. She deeply sighed.
"Don't think too much about it. When we're back in K country, you can ask your father. He knows something for sure." Liu Zijian said and tasted her pouted lips for short while before he stood up to open the door as he heard someone knocking.
Han Meixiu simply nodded.
When the tray containing the set was placed on the table and the person delivering went out she spoke again.
"Jian, you will attend an engagement party tonight?"
"You saw?"
"En. Can I come with you?"
"No." He immediately answered.
"I want to see and talk to the person who look exactly like me. I want to know her reason for agreeing."
Liu Zijian looked at the young woman who was expecting enthusiastically for his answer. Her eyes were crystal clear as if attracting him to another world and beyond. Their message was eagerly written all over.
He didn't want Chen Dewei to see his wife but he also couldn't say no to her.
"Don't leave my side." He resignedly said as he pulled her closer.
"Of course." Han Meixiu instantly answered.
"I'll call mom to help you prepare."

"Ms. Mei, why are you still here?" Dr. Su could really see the obvious suffering of the woman thus she curiously asked. Although for the past days, the relationship of the two were some what good, she could see the cautious subtle movement from her.
The two were in Han Meili's room.
"I don't have any other place to go." She simply answered as she looked at the needle removed from her skin.
"But you're still young. For sure you could find a decent place where you could live freely."
Han Meili shook her head.
"After the Han Family fell, nobody would be willing to be in touch with any of its members."
"You could change your name. If you live in the outskirts of the city, it's possible to have a new identity."
"...."
"You don't want?"
"..."
"Is it because of the Third Young Master Chen? You love him, don't you?"
"..."
Dr. Su sighed. She couldn't say if it's a blessing or a curse. Surely, loving someone could give you an enormous happiness but in the case of Chen Dewei, it's different.
"How about you, Dr. Su? Why are you helping him?"
"..."
"Do you love him, too?"
"Me?!? No!!!" Dr. Su exclaimed. "I haven't lost my mind yet, okay?"
Han Meili chuckled. The doctor's reaction was a bit over the board.
Ever since she met her, although their interaction were limited she couldn't help but be comfortable with her.
"I already lost myself a long time ago. And I can't find my reasons anymore. I am already corrupted. Hopeless. I hate my situation but I don't want to leave his side."
"You're absolutely foolish."
"I know." Han Meili smiled bitterly as she controlled her tears not to flow freely. "I will stay by his side until I will become totally broken. Broken to the point of..."
"Stop it! Ms Mei!" Dr. Su didn't want to hear another word from her.
"Can't you feel, he's changing?"
"Doctor Su, you know him. Maybe longer than I do. You really think those are real?"
"..."
Han Meili sighed as she stabilized her emotions.
"Is this the last shot for today?" She tried to change the subject. She has been receiving nutritional shots the past days.
"There is one more." Dr. Su replied as she finished the task.
She wanted to criticize the woman for being a fool, but she wasn't any different.
If Han Meili was foolish enough to stay, she was foolish enough to leave. She just hoped that one day, Han Meili wouldn't regret her decision to stay as she regretted hers when she left.
Dr. Su quietly packed up her things and left the room.
