Liling looked at Li Fei whose tears were flowing even in her sleep and she sighed.
She then retired to one of the rooms so that she could have a rest.
The next time she woke up, she checked her phone and saw that it was past seven in the morning. She got up immediately and left towards the living room. She then caught sight of Li Fei who had woken up and was sitting on the couch. Walking to where she was, she saw that she was crying.
She sat down next to her and said,"Li Fei, you're crying again. Can you please tell me what's wrong?" She shook her head and amidst tears said," I-I am not crying. It's just that, I had thought that everything was a nightmare."
Liling took a deep breath and said," Okay, let's do this. Let's go and have a shower then we get something to eat."
When she didn't reply, Liling got up and tugged on her hand then made her stand up and together they went to the shower.
Liling didn't want to leave her alone in the shower because she feared that her mind was still on the sucide idea.
Leaving the bathroom together, she got some clothes for her and she changed into them as Liling called and ordered for breakfast for the two of them.
When the breakfast came, Liling laid it on the bed where they were sitting and she looked at Li Fei to say," FeiFei, eat something. Please."
She just shook her head in denial and Liling sighed for the umpteenth time.
"You have to eat something. Jin Liwei wouldn't like it if he knows that you're starving yourself." Li Fei shook her head and said," He wouldn't care even if I die." "I doubt it. Everything is going to be okay between you but first, tell me, what happened."
At that question, streams of tears flowed from her eyes and she said," Nothing happened. I'm crying because I'm an idiot. Because I'm a fool. Because," her eyes stung with new tears and she continued," I allowed myself to be used like an idiot." "What do you mean?"
"It has always been a lie. Everything has been a plan to...to have revenge on me and he succeeded in it." "Will you stop crying, and be more explicit?" asked Liling.
With her tears, she looked at her and said," Jin- Mr Jin Liwei, has never loved me. It has always been a plan to get even with me for killing his wife."
Liling frowned at this and asked," Where from did you get that nonsense?"
"He...he told me, himself. Lee Meili has always been his lover. I was made a fool of," she explained. Liling processed the whole thing and she couldn't believe it.
The Jin Liwei she knew would give up his own life for her.
"I don't believe it. He must have said it in the heat of the moment- " "No. It has always been a ploy and there are even photos. He was with her the other night. Even Jing- "
She instantly stopped. She wanted to say that he knew everything but she remembered his words that Liling had nothing to do with it. She didn't want to ruin her friend's marriage just because her life had been ruined. "Jing Yue? Did he know about it?!"
"No. Well, I don't know but I think he didn't because his parents too were not aware," she decided to say. "I honestly can't believe that man could do such a thing to you."
Not knowing what else to say, Liling inched closer and embraced her then said," I'm honestly at loss of words. I'm so sorry because this is partly my fault. Jing Yue and I helped him reach to you on your birthday party."
A moment later when she felt that she had calmed down, she pulled away and asked," Tell me. What are you doing next?" "I just want to die," she replied. "You don't have to say that, FeiFei." "It's the truth. I don't think I can go on like this." "That man is a monster! He will have to hear from me." "No. Don't bother them. Let them be in their peace." "But he can't just do that to you and get away with it. You suffered enough in prison," she said.
"It's the only way he could get even with me and perhaps, he didn't tell me to be an idiot. I should have known better," she said. Liling took a deep breath and said," But you know that I will never leave you, right?" Li Fei just looked away because right now, she didn't know who to believe. If at all the person she trusted with everything in her was just playing with her.
Two days passed and Liling never left Li Fei's side because she feared that she might commit sucide. She was always crying and sometimes Liling found herself crying too because it was so pitiful. She realized how Li Fei loved that man with her everything.
On the third day, Liling called a maid from her house and ordered her to stay behind with Li Fei as she was going to Jin Liwei's house to get her things.
Reaching inside the house, a maid came to attend to her. She asked to meet Yin Chen who was called shortly.
"Ms Liling, I'm glad to see you. Where's Li Fei?" asked Yin Chen looking around in hopes of seeing her back. "She didn't come and she won't be coming back." "Why?" she asked. "It can't be. Is he home?" asked Liling. "No. He has never come back ever since that day." "I came to take Li Fei's things," she stated. "What?! Why? Did it reach that point?" asked Yin Chen. "Yes Ms Yin Chen." Not knowing what else to say, Yin Chen nodded and asked," Would you like to come with me?" "I will just wait here. I can't stand that man's bedroom," deadpanned Liling. She understood and nodded before excusing herself.
Reaching the bedroom, she walked to the closet and picked each one of Li Fei's belongings.
A long while later, three suitcases were brought and Liling stood up to leave when she remembered and said," And her phone? I think it's in that same bedroom."
