Chapitre 232: Convince
Han Meixiu slowly walked near the window of the room and adjusted the ceiling to floor curtain that was composed of two layers, one cream colored thin and the other was a thick dark blue, confirming that the sky already darkened before she started.
"Granny Ling is still having a meeting with someone. Since it's pretty late, I advise Miss Fu to stay here for the night." She then twisted her body slightly and gave the other woman a warm smile.
The was she delivered her words was comforting because of the gentleness they carried and gave an impression of a spring laziness.
"What do you think, Miss Fu?" Han Meixiu asked.
92 strode towards the bed and unceremoniously sat on the edge as she placed her both arms to support her body leaning backwards before she stared at her cousin.
"Grandma has been in that meeting for so long?" She casually asked without lifting her eyes. She was staring on the floor. Her thoughts were unreadable.
"Yes. I think they needed to discuss a lot of things. If ever Granny Ling will get tired, I know she will be in good hands."
"I see."
After responding shortly, she slumped her body on the bed and bounced softly because of the sudden impact.
"If they want to talk then let them talk."
"You will sleep?" Han Meixiu asked feeling adamant as she was expecting that the Miss Fu would at least ask her few questions about the person or people Granny Ling was meeting. But the woman just gladly lie down as if the person they were talking about has nothing to do with her.
"We're in the bedroom. Should I dance instead?" 92 asked while she lifted her head a little to look questioningly at Han Meixiu as if she was also saying 'it's common sense.'
Han Meixiu's lips formed a straight line. No need to prove the identity of this woman. She already knew who she is.
"What?" The woman lying on the bed asked as she made her eyes bigger.
It made Han Meixiu really annoyed.
"Miss Fu, don't you think you're behavior now is quite different from the character you're portraying earlier?" She said as she tried to still form a smile.
"So what? You're the only one here..."
Realizing her words, Han Mingxia abruptly sat down and stared blankly at Han Meixiu.
"You know who I am?"
Han Meixiu rolled her eyes before answering. "At first, no. But once we we're alone you already showed your flawed character. I'm not that dumb not to recognize the only annoying person in my life."
"I thought you already changed since you're going to be a mother soon. But you're still as equally annoying like before. Congratulations by the way."
"Where is your gift?"
"You're already rich and you still want to rob me off? Come on, I'm a lowly slave your highness. I can't afford to buy a gift."
Han Meixiu tsked as she took a seat on the nearby chair.
"Did you fight Brother Long?"
"He provoked me first." Han Mingxia casually answered.
"Brother Long?" With a hint of doubt, Han Meili asked her cousin.
Han Mingxia knitted her brows and looked at the face of Han Meoxiu that has full of disbelief.
"Do you think I'm lying? I don't fight someone for no reason."
"It's not that. But Brother Long isn't someone who would provoke without a reason. What did you do?"
"You're really a Liu now, huh. I didn't do anything. He was being too intrusive."
"But, do you have to give it out your all? I saw his bruises. Looking at you now, you look fine compared to him."
"Just blame it to his sensitive skin or his incompetence." Han Mingxia answered feeling proud.
Han Meixiu who didn't like the tone of her cousin's voice retaliated. "You really think you beat him?" She asked as she wanted to disheartened the other woman.
Han Mingxia sat down and faced her cousin who was obviously trying to piss her off. "What do you mean?"
"He might have been very careful when he was fighting with you. You're a woman after all. Brother Long is a ladies man. Even if both of you were fighting he must have been cautious when he's retaliating. For example, he could only hit you in some places and he would most definitely avoid your vital parts."
The fight was replayed on Han Mingxia's mind. True enough, Liu Zilong hit her on 'safe' places. If their fight was really considered 'real' then he should have targeted her weak points like what she did.
The ecstatic mood of Han Mingxia suddenly dropped. She let herself fell on the bed once again.
"Hateful!" She exclaimed. She remembered the make up and clothes provided to her afterwards. She was actually wondering if Liu Zilong knew she was wearing a mask or not.
At first, she thought the man didn't know thus he provided her a make up. But after opening the kit, mixed with the different cream and foundation was an ointment for bruises.
In short, he knew?
Han Mingxia sighed heavily. She felt she was deceived.
"Why don't you remove your mask? I want to see if your face has bruises."
"I don't. He avoided my face." Han Mingxia gloomily answered. The more she thought about their fight, the more she realized Han Meixiu was probably right.
After achieving her goal to piss off her cousin, Han Meixiu's tone turned serious.
"Mingxia, do you want me to help you find your husband's family?"
Han Mingxia didn't answer. Her cousin's words were tempting. She knew that with the Liu Family's influence, there's really a possibility of finding her husband's family. But, her heart didn't want to agree.
"Meixiu, don't brag about your husband's capability, okay?" Han Mingxia dismissively answered.
"You're really talented to twist my words. I just want to help you. I'm not bragging. Besides,.."
"Thank you for your offer, but I must decline."
"You're a masochist?"
Han Mingxia chuckled. She missed this kind of conversation with someone. For the past months she's been always worrying and cautious trying to fit in the place she chose to belong. It's nice to be able to talk freely once in a while like this.
"No. That's my goal. If it will be snatched away from me, what will I do next? You see, this goal is like the lighted path in my dark world. It keeps me going and moving forward."
"I'm not going to snatch it. I only want to help. After finding them, then you can build your life again. Maybe have your own family."
Han Mingxia laughed an empty one before answering.
"Meixiu, not everyone is like you. If you're happy that you have a family now, then it's good. But that doesn't mean everyone likes to have one. My happiness would probably be receiving the forgiveness of Daniel's family.
And if given a chance, she would be their obedient daughter in law.
Han Meixiu sighed. She knew that based from Han Mingxia's character, there's no point to continue convincing her.
"If ever you need help, tell me."
"In the future maybe I do. Take care of my corpse."
"Han Mingxia!" Han Mingxiu angrily shouted. "Are you cursing yourself?!"
The woman lying on the bed bitterly smiled. "I want to get some sleep. If ever the old lady ask for me, please say I need a break time, too."
Looking at the woman who just removed her slippers and covered herself with a quilt, Han Meixiu stood up. "If you're hungry, just order anything you want to eat."
"Sure. I will not be polite since you'll be paying for it."
Han Meixiu slowly walked out of the room. Before she left, she heard Han Mingxia said. "Congratulations on having twins."
"Thank you."
The two men were still waiting outside the room. Liu Zijian immediately got up after seeing Han Meixiu closed the room behind her.
"You're done?"
"En. She wanted to get some sleep."
Liu Zilong was sitting and his back was facing the room thus he didn't see his siter in law coming out. When he heard that 92 would not come out, he was a bit disappointed.
What's the point of enhancing his bruises if he couldn't incite a pity from her? Since he's not feeling well, he wanted to be accompanied by someone.
"Little Zi, how about we drink to our hearts content tonight? It's a celebration. Don't worry about sister in law, this place is safe." He smilingly said.
Liu Zijian looked at Han Meixiu first as if asking her permission.
"It's also been a while since you drink with Brother Long. Why not accompany him?"
"Alright. Let's have dinner first." Liu Zijian answered.
"Sounds good!" Liu Zilong cheerfully said. In his mind, his brother is bound to be drunken tonight.
