"Ms Li Mei, this is Liling," she spoke the moment she picked up. "FeiFei's friend?" she asked from the other side. "Yes." "Oh!! I'm so sorry dear I lost your number," she spoke apologetically. "It's okay Ms Li Mei. I understand really." "Thank you. It's been quite long. So, how are you? How is your husband?" "Everything is fine, Ms Li Mei. I'm in Beijing now though," she informed. "Oh? What are you doing here?" "I came for business purposes. I wanted to pass by and say hello but FeiFei told me that you left the mansion," she stated.
"Oh yes I did. The house was too big for me alone. I can send you the address in case you want to come by." "That will be great. I am surely coming," she said before the call ended. Walking back to where the two were waiting, she said," I got it."
On their way, Liling said," I just hope she doesn't get mad at me for lying to her." "Don't worry. Everything will turn out perfectly you'll see," said Jing Yue.
Not long after, the cab dropped them in front of the Villa and as they walked to the door, Liling turned to look at Jin Liwei and said," I think you should come in last. Who knows, she might close the door in our faces if she sees you." Jin Liwei nodded and Liling wondered what he might be feeling at this time. She couldn't tell if he was nervous because his face was expressionless, not showing off any emotions. She realized that he hadn't said a word ever since they left Shanghai.
Knocking on the door, Liling swallowed when she saw that Li Mei herself was the one that opened. Taking a few steps inside, she gave her a brief hug. "How have you been?" she asked.
"I've been good Ms Li Mei." "You look so beautiful," she complimented and when she saw Jing Yue, she said," Mr Jing Yue! I didn't know you were coming. It's a pleasure having you here."
The two shook hands and Jing Yue said," The pleasure is mine, Ms Li Mei. I have had so many things about you." "Things like?" she asked. "Of how beautiful you are in person and indeed, it is true. Had I not been married yet, I would have taken you to be my bride."
She smiled with a slight blush and said," Mr Jing Yue with your flattery. Please come in and have a seat." "I'm afraid we can't Ms Li Mei. At least not until you see who we brought with us," stated Jing Yue and he peeked outside, gesturing for him to come.
"What is this man doing here?!" she asked the moment she saw Jin Liwei. Liling said," Ms Li Mei, please listen to what he has to say. There are many things you need to know."
"He's not welcome in my house!" she said.
Jing Yue intervened and said," Please let him first explain things to you. It is really important."
She glared at him before turning and walked to sit on the couch, sending him a glare from there.
Jin Liwei walked in and took a seat next to Jing Yue. "First tell me, what exactly happened between you two? What did you do to my daughter" she asked looking at him. "You mean she didn't tell you?" asked Liling. "She refused. All I know is that this man hurt her and I want to know how."
"In that case then, we are lucky as it's going to be easy to explain things to you," commented Jing Yue and he looked at Jin Liwei gesturing for him to explain.
He looked at Li Mei and after a while, he said," Everything started when I searched for the person responsible for poisoning Li Fei..." his voice trailed as he explained everything.
"This is unbelievable," she commented at the end of the narration. "Jin Liwei was equally shocked too. He couldn't process the information that she had always been innocent yet, he did all that he did to her."
"Where's Liu Han right now?" asked Li Mei raged. "She escaped from us. What we know is that she's still in Shanghai and she can't escape from there," lied Jing Yue. "That means that Li Fei is not safe! That woman can send people to Shenzhen just to harm her," she said panicking.
"You don't have to worry about that. Uh, Jin Liwei is keeping an eye on her. And perhaps, Liu Han can never know of her whereabouts," Jing Yue explained.
Liling decided to speak this time," Uhm...Ms Li Mei, we came here to inform you about that issue and also, to tell you that we want to help solve the issue between Jin Liwei here and FeiFei. They both love each other and they shouldn't be suffering because of something that's not their fault." "Does FeiFei know about this?" "Not yet. Ms Li Mei." "Then what exactly happened between you two?" she asked looking at Jin Liwei.
"When I found out about it, I was so devastated..."
At the end of the narration, he added," I did it because I thought that I didn't deserve her due to everything I put her through. I thought that I will be able to live without her, as my punishment but I realized that I can't. I've always loved Li Fei more than anything in this world. I know that it's shameful and selfish of me to say this but, I want her back. I need her back into my life. I tried my best staying away from her but I can't take it anymore. My life has lost meaning without her in it "
Li Mei looked at him and said," I'm glad you know that you don't deserve her at all, especially now more than ever. You hurt her and if it's up to me, I prefer that you stay away from her. But knowing you, you will surely do as you please."
"But Ms Li Mei, FeiFei is not happy. She has never been happy again ever since they got separated," said Liling.
"You may be right, but that is because she hasn't gotten over the fact yet. I believe it will end especially now that she and Jianyu are a couple," she said and Jing Yue looked at Jin Liwei who had a sour expression on his face.
