"What is your plan?"
Song Ning smiled. "How about we frame Chen Ziyue again?"
"What?!"
"Yes, let's frame Chen Ziyue," Song Ning shrugged as if it was no big deal. "We have done it once. We can do it again."
"Ningning, seriously?" Xie Yunnan looked at her friend in disbelief and shock. "That's the best plan you came up with? To frame Chen Ziyue? Again? Do you really think that she is a stupid woman who would fall for the same plan again?"
"Who said that it has to be the same plan?" Song Ning raised her brows.
"Then?"
"Look, tonight Chen Ziyue would go to dinner at a restaurant where she will see you and your lover, that is the businessman she is after. Out of her sheer curiosity to know the truth, she will go after you. Somehow, we will have to trap her in a room with your businessman and call the media," Song Ning described her plan.
Xie Yunnan thought about the plan carefully. Yeah, she had to agree that it was a good plan but a little risky. If their plan is successful, then Chen Ziyue would be completely destroyed and she would be free from this problem, forever. However, if they failed to execute it properly, it would backfire on them.
Song Ning looked at her best friend. "So, what do you think? Should we do it? Just imagine, what would happen if the media catches Chen Ziyue and your lover in a room. Ooo..... Just thinking about it, makes my blood boil with excitement."
Xie Yunnan nodded. Her eyes glowed, as her mind played the entire scenario in her head. She couldn't help but smile at the mere thought of executing this risky plan. Hearing Song Ning's question, she had only one thought in her mind. "Ningning, you are evil. And, I like that." she laughed.
"Haha... likewise," Song Ning smiled back.
Suddenly, Xie Yunnan thought of something. She glanced at Song Ning, her eyes narrowed, and asked, "How do you know that Chen Ziyue is going out for dinner tonight?"
"She isn't," Song Ning answered. "But, I will make her."
"Are you going to invite her for dinner?"
Song Ning looked at her friend as if she was looking at an idiot. She sighed, "Xie Yunnan, God had gifted you good brains. Why don't you use it for once, my dear?"
Xie Yunnan: "............"
"Do you really think that I would take Chen Ziyue out to dinner so that if the plan fails, she could blame it all on me or become wary of me? I am not an idiot like you to do that. Somebody else will do it instead of me. As for who and how, you do not have to worry about that," Song Ning sneered.
"You just have to do one thing, call your lover, tell him about our plan, fix tonight's dinner schedule at his recent new hotel, and make sure that when you are there with him, you have to hide your face properly. Chen Ziyue should never get to see your face," she instructed. "Do you understand?"
Xie Yunnan nodded.
Suddenly, Song Ning's eyes turned serious and she looked straight into Xie Yunnan's eyes. "Yunnan, be extra careful this time. Not only do you have to be wary of Chen Ziyue but also of the media. I don't want things to go wrong. I don't want us to be trapped in the plan, we made for someone else. Okay?"
"I know. Don't worry. I will make sure that nothing goes wrong," she promised.
"After this," Song Ning pointed to the phone in her hands, "I don't trust you with anything. Just tell your lover about the plan and he will do the rest."
Xie Yunnan nodded.
"Now go and send my assistant inside. It's time for me to get ready for the next shoot," Song Ning said.
"Yes, of course." Xie Yunnan nodded. Just as she had taken a few steps towards the door, she paused and turned around. She rushed towards Song Ning and hugged her tightly. "Thank you so much, Ningning. I knew I could count on you. Thank you so much."
Song Ning was taken aback but the sudden hug but she didn't push her friends away. A smile came on her face and she patted her friend's back. "If I don't help you, then who will? No go and don't waste my time."
"Hmm. Bye!"
###
That same night.
A restaurant inside a five-star hotel.
Tables and chairs were covered in pristine white cloths with beautiful red roses arranged artfully in beautiful stylish vases at the center of the table. Golden chandeliers casted soft light throughout the restaurant, complementing the golden and white walls with decorated murals. All in all, the place looked extremely beautiful and a little artistic.
Bai Liyue sat at the table by the corner, sipping a glass of orange juice. She purposely chose this table by the corner, so that nobody would disturb her or recognize her. She didn't want to be in the limelight, yet.
She looked at her watch and frowned slightly. It was already five minutes after the set time. She didn't like people who were not punctual and now, she was already getting very impatient. If this person doesn't arrive in the next ten seconds, then doesn't mind leaving this place.
Thankfully, in the next few seconds, the person arrived.
Bai Liyue crossed her arms and looked at the woman infront of her with a big frown. "You are late," she said.
"I am so sorry, Ziyue." Yuan Li smiled apologetically. "It won't happen next time."
Bai Liyue glanced at her quietly. "Don't say sorry when you don't mean it. Also, if you were just a few more seconds late, then you would have found my ghost sitting here."
Yuan Li: "..........."
"So... let's have dinner," she said to change the topic and to dispel the awkward silence between them. "Did you order something?"
"No."
"Then let's order quick. I am famished," Yuan Li said.
Chen Ziyue nodded. Yuan Li called a waiter and they quickly placed their orders. A few minutes later, their food arrived and their table was filled with beautiful and tasty dishes. Just the aromatic and tantalizing smell of food was enough to make both of them hungry. They took their respective plates and began eating while talking about the restaurant, the food, and some harmless topics.
