Loud music, vintage wine and beautiful server girls this was supposed to be Mu Heng's paradise he was just dumped by his long time girlfriend but instead of drowning himself he found himself comforting his childhood best friend LuoTing.
Mu Heng rolled his eyes as he watched LuoTing dumping shots after shots in his body truth be told he felt a little happy given they both were now in " Dumped squad" but this was something he will never say out loud given when LuoTing was already in such a foul mood.
"Get lost" frowned Mu Heng when he saw Luo Ting drowning his fourteenth shot " At this rate I will be the one taking care of you all night ! Dude "
" Shut Up" snapped Luo Ting it has been years since he last drank so much. His obsidian eyes were unfathomable making Mu Heng worry about him even though he disliked Luo Ting but deep down very deep down in his heart he wanted him to be happy and when Xiao Mei arrived in his life Mu Heng finally heaved a sigh of relief but leave it to his stupid stoic friend to mess things up and now the things were completely out of hands .
Mu Heng wanted to say something anything make Luo Ting feel at ease but before he could do that the devil was raised from hell .
" Finally regretting huh?" said a calm voice .
Both Mu Heng and LuoTing turned around and when they saw who spoke up Both of them had a reaction of their own Mu Heng sucked in a lot of cold air and silently prayed to heaven that this man would leave without poking the devil in the eye.
While Luo Ting was still expressionless but the temperature near him has dropped a lot more than few degrees.
The man in question however simply ignored the fact that his presence was unwanted and strode in.
Ignorance was a bliss .
This was simply true for Jiang Rusheng a man in his late twenties but still he held the charm of a college boy but with his elegance and calm demenure he looked much more mature . Jiang Rusheng had always been second to LuoTing in everything even in love .
He had loved Xiao Mei for years even when he knew that she was dating Luo Ting he never turned himself to any other woman for comfort if someone were to look at him and Luo Ting they would instantly know who has been loyal to Xiao Mei all these years .
The more Mu Heng thought about this the more stiff he became both Luo Ting and Jiang Rusheng simply sat opposite to each other and calmly sipped on their drinks but no body can ignore the flying sparks along with the chilling atmosphere.
Mu Heng really really wanted to run for the hills but in such situations only will his friendship with Luo Ting can be tested thus he simply sat their ignoring his trembling limbs and sipped on his vodka.
" What do you want " after waiting for a long time Luo Ting decided to bite the bullet he had known Jiang Rusheng since childhood this man never did anything useless unless it was related to Xiao Mei . Thinking about Xiao Mei Luo Ting felt he wasbeing suffocated.
" I'm here to declare war " said Jiang Rusheng calmly his lips were hooked in a pleasant smile but his peach blossomed eyes were no where smiling.
Luo Ting raised his eyebrows and reached forward to grab another glass but the latter's following words caused him to freeze.
" For Xiao Mei "
LuoTing looked up and Mu Heng finally saw LuoTing's nonchalant attitude drop his eyes were now burning with an unknown fury and the grip on the glass had been tightened.
Mu Heng was frightened everyone in their circle knew that Xiao Mei was LuoTing's bottom line that no one can touch even if LuoTing hurt her he would only allow himself to hurt her no one else was given such an opportunity.
But Jiang Rusheng looked no where as frightened as Mu Heng on the contrary he looked as if he found Luo Ting amusing.
" I was too late in our senior high but this time I will make her mine "
with his final words JiangRusheng put down his glass and elegantly left the room.
Mu Heng was so scared after Jiang Rusheng departure that he didn't even dared to lif his head when a loud shattering of glass filled in room's silence.
LuoTing aura was so imposing that Mu Heng felt he was being choked .
" Ahem Luo Ting you need not to worry I don't think Xiao Mei taste has changed I mean how can she leave you and go to Rusheng and even if she does-" but rest of his words were silenced when he recieved Luo Ting glare
" There is no what if !" said Luo Ting coldly " she was mine , she is mine and she will be mine !"
Giving no chance to Mu Heng to defend himself Luo Ting took long strides and left the room with a bang .
--------
Xiao Mei however had no idea what had happened with Luo Ting because she herself was too busy dealing with the cannon fodder Xiao Mei troubles currently she was sitting in a five star hotel with the most finest dishes in front of her but her appetite was no where to be found because coincidentally opposite to her sat the previous Xiao Mei's mother Mu Yurou.
Mu Yurou had been calling her nonstop for the past few days Xiao Mei was certain that she had gotten the gist of her removing her name from Luo family but to Xiao Mei's surprise Mu Yurou never registered her name in Luo family when she found about it even Xiao Mei couldn't help but feel sorry for the cannon fodder Xiao Mei Mu Yurou and Luo Xinyi had used her so much but in their eyes she was nothing.
When Xiao Mei thought about this coldness flash through her eyes as she looked at the elegantly dressed woman sitting opposite to her.
She had been avoiding Mu Yurou for weeks but she had no idea how in the world Mu Yurou found her schedule and arrived just in time when Xiao Mei was escorting an important client out of the hotel . Mu Yurou acted per her part and behaved like an anguished mother Xiao Mei very much wanted to shake Mu Yurou off but the client was too important and Xiao Mei couldn't act rude thus she too had to act as a filial daughter even now she felt too disgusting with her filial daughter acting so much that she felt she would vomit anytime soon.
" What do you want?" asked Xiao Mei coldly her patience was thinning and she cannot let Mu Yurou take her pretty little time.
" Xiao Mei is this the way to behave with your mother my heart hurts every time you act like how can you act like this to your own mother -"
" Yeah how can I behave like this to my mother who didn't even registered my name under Luo family?"
Xiao Mei watched the look of impatience that flashed in Mu Yurou eyes and her doubts came true Mu Yurou wasn't here to apologise but she was here to ask a ' favor' from her and The current Xiao Mei attitude wasn't helping .
" Xiao Xiao we are family why are you doing this you know how pitiful Luo Xinyi is she-"
" Mrs Luo please pardon my rudeness but With my memories lost there is no proof whether or not you are my mother if others were to get the gist of my situation how many woman are willing to act as my mother's? the mother of head secretary of TEE? the owner of 20% shares in TEE? to me these reasons are enough for any stranger to act as my mother " Xiao Mei voice wasn't high nor low neither it carried any accusation but Mu Yurou face changed and her face flushed .
" XIAO MEI I'M YOUR BIRTH MOTHER HOW DARE YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THIS!" yelled Mu Yurou she wanted to rebuke everything Xiao Mei said but her guilty conscience stopped her everything Xiao Mei said was true these were the reason why she had withstand this wretched girl but blame it on her bad luck that Xiao Mei was the one who became successful while Luo Xinyi was still a small model and that was too because they used Xiao Mei backing without her Luo Xinyi would become nothing.!
Mu Yurou wanted Xiao Mei to be as submissive as the previous Xiao Mei but this time not only did she looked regretful but instead she looked as if she was throughly enjoying herself.
"Just say what do you want "picking up the glass of red wine spoke Xiao Mei she had enough drama for the night .
" You-" Mu Yurou was so angry she almost vomited blood but than again she can't refuse " I want you to give Luo Xinyi the spokeperson deal for You&Me "
You&Me was an international brand that specialises in diamond jewellery the spokeperson deal was too big and important they had requested for the most professional model in their agency if they were to send Luo Xinyi not only will You&Me loose face TEE will too loose face.
" Sorry I can't " after weighting the pros and cons Xiao Mei flatly refused
"She is your sister!"
"Half sister you mean born out of affair?right?"
" HOW DARE -" Mu Yurou started but rest of her words were drowned when a pile of papers hit her on face she wanted to tear them off and shove it down Xiao Mei throat but stopped when she saw what it was!
It was a DNA report between her husband and Luo Xinyi and the result was 99.9% related to each other she felt suffocated as she looked at Xiao Mei
how come she knew it ? Wasn't she just ?how?
Mu Yurou was still feeling intimidated when Xiao Mei words dropped like a bomb .
" Think what will happen if I tell this to Luo Ting? or Luo Xi? " said Xiao Mei gently " however if you and your daughter stop bothering me I will stop bothering you all too so "
Xiao Mei didn't completed her sentence but her threat was obvious Mu Yurou felt something was choking her but she couldn't say anything abd simply watched as Xiao Mei left .
