"Wu Jinyan. Open the door"
"Jinyan..it's me. Open the door"
One after the other, both the visitors banged on the door giving Wu Jinyan a splitting headache.
'Why are they here again and how exactly did they find out my place? Did they find out something about me?' Wu Jinyan thought of every possible thing that they could learn among her recent activities but she didn't know what exact news made Wu Hao and Wu Meihua to knock at her door. She prayed it's not the big news of her getting married to Gu Zichen. She became more tensed the more she thought about it.
Moreover, she was kidnapped before. She was yet to deal with Wu Hao regarding that issue.
"Whatever... I should face them soon or later. Jinyan, you can do it" Taking a deep breath to calm her nerves, she grabbed the door's handle and opened it again. With a faint smile on her lips she mumbled through the small crack "Sorry, the house is quite a mess" She gave such a lame excuse, anyone could see through her.
"I thought you are hiding something inside and got frightened on suddenly seeing us at your door" Wu Meihua forcefully opened the door wide and walked inside unceremoniously.
Wu Jinyan clenched her jaw. She wasn't concerned about Meihua's rudeness or her poisonous tongue but was more vigilant about her sudden appearance at her house with Wu Hao. She knew her beloved niece loves to do anything just to worsen her mood.
Looking at Wu Jinyan's crumpled face, Wu Hao smiled awkwardly as though pleading her not to take note of Wu Meihua's behavior. He came for a purpose and he should take things in a planned order but his granddaughter seemed eager to mess up everything before he could get into action.
That Han guy already made things difficult for him before by kidnapping her. What if his granddaughter influenced Wu Jinyan's mind now? He was very much worried.
"Come in" Wu Jinyan finally spoke to clear the awkwardness in the air. Nodding his head, Wu Hao followed behind Wu Jinyan and entered the house when he saw Wu Meihua roaming around the apartment while checking every corner, throwing stuff aside as though she was searching for something at her own place.
Seeing her brazen actions, Wu Hao was ashamed. But Wu Jinyan wasn't in a mood to deal with her. As its basic etiquette to treat the guests well, she walked into the kitchen to prepare something to serve them.
She was boiling the water to make some tea when she heard Wu Meihua's voice speaking out her doubts "Grandpa, are you sure aunt Jinyan really got married? Why do I see nothing that belongs to a man here? There's not even a picture of her husband? She must be just lying because she doesn't want to marry the man you showed her. Maybe she's still angry with me for marrying Mo Shen, she was being like this. Grandpa, Sorry. It's all my fault" Wu Meihua spoke the last few words in a quivering voice and let a single drop flow down from one of her eyes, trying to gain sympathy from Wu Hao. She said her words as though Wu Jinyan was holding a grudge on her and being unreasonable because of a simple issue which happened long ago.
Wu Meihua would never miss a chance of ruining Wu Jinyan's image and also knew anything from the past would break Wu Jinyan's heart instantly.
"It's not your fault Meihua. Don't cry" Wu Hao held Wu Meihua's hands lightly and tried to comfort his granddaughter. His heart ached as his dear granddaughter was feeling guilty unnecessarily about something she didn't do. She got married to Mo Shen to save their family's reputation when his daughter, Wu Jinyan did brazen deeds to ruin the image of his family.
But more than feeling bad for his granddaughter's tears he was terrified with past being dug up again, Wu Jinyan's mind and heart might get influenced thus making his job tough.
"No, grandpa. If I didn't get married to Mo Shen, aunt would have been happy with us like always instead of living in this tiny mole hole. Poor aunt" Wu Meihua sounded painful but the gaze in her eyes was full of mockery.
In her opinion, Wu Jinyan was just a poor countryside girl who wasn't even qualified to clean her shoes. Seeing the low class place in which Wu Jinyan was living, she was delighted and sneered internally 'This b*tch finally understood where she stands. Even if she got married, he must be a poor bloke given the hut she was living in...hmph'
"Wu Meihua, don't talk nonsense" Wu Hao felt a headache coming up. He thought bringing his granddaughter along was a huge mistake. In a spur of moment, he just mentioned to her about how Wu Jinyan talked about getting married. But she tagged along like his tail. From the corner of his eyes, he noticed Wu Jinyan walking out of the kitchen and guessed she was starting to get angry.
He heard everything from Han Shifeng that someone came to rescue her and how he was hurt by her. Thinking that man who came to save her could be her husband, he came to check on her the past few days but she wasn't at home. At last, he finally met her today but his granddaughter seems to be determined to ruin his plans.
Wu Jinyan frowned listening to Wu Meihua's dramatic blabber. As expected Wu Meihua started to talk nonsense as soon as she opened her mouth.
"If you want to pass your time, do it somewhere else. Don't waste my time here. I have a lot of work on my plate" She said trying to calm herself. She was already feeling low and dispirited thinking about Gu Zichen, in addition another person began to attack her, killing her further.
"Aunt Jinyan, I'm just worried that your husband was not taking good care of you" Wu Meihua mumbled with a teary face but with a playful smile dancing on the edge of her lips.
"You people don't have to worry about me. I'm absolutely fine and my husband is taking good care of me" Even though her heart was bleeding, Wu Jinyan said her words leisurely with a faint smile while gazing at both Wu Hao and Wu Meihua. She understood their intentions behind visiting her after listening to Wu Meihua's chatter.
Acting rude and pushing them out of the house wasn't a good solution. Moreover, they might get suspicious watching her actions and find out something that shouldn't be known. But the longer they stayed in her house, the more she would get wasted while handling their interrogation.
She offered them the tea before taking a seat along with them in the living room. She didn't know what to do but she should think of something soon.
She was deep in a daze when like a call from heaven, the front door opened pulling her back from her thoughts. She stood up and turned around to see who had the guts to come into her place directly. Seeing the tall and handsome man standing at the door, her heart dropped. But, soon she recovered.
'Yes!!' Her mind worked at an ultra speed preparing the entire script of the plan. Pulling the man into the house, Wu Jinyan said in a cheerful voice "Meihua, say hello to your uncle"
"Uncle?!!" Wu Meihua was stunned. She gaped at the tall man whom Wu Jinyan held tightly as though her life depends on him.
This handsome specimen oozing with sexiness from every nook and corner....He's her uncle?
Seeing Wu Meihua's reaction, Wu Jinyan lifted her lips into a proud smug smile 'You want to see my husband? Here I present my handsome, hot and sexy husband'
"What are you staring at? Hurry up and greet your uncle" Under Wu Jinyan's urging voice, Wu Meihua came to her senses and mumbled "Hello...uncle"
But inside he heart, she was fuming with rage and jealousy 'Wu Jinyan, you b*tch'
