Xiabo ran into Lei Wuije's office. She was panting so hard as if she was been chased.
'. What happened?!'. Lei Wuije got up immediately.
'.....you...!'. She panted.
'. What happened?!'.
'. Ghost!....'.
'. Huh?'.
'. Come see for yourself!'. She dragged him out of the office. They ran out. Getting to the office hallway they dropped their lips.
'. Hello!, I am Ài Mei Xia!!'. She waved at them.
'. Mei.....Lien?'. Lei Wuije stuttered as he saw her.
'. You must be...?'. She stares at him.
'. Lei Wuije!'.
'. Mr Lei, I heard a lot about you!'. She stretches out her hand.
'. Oh!'. He shook her hand.
They sat there in Lei Wuije's office staring at her endlessly as she walked around the office.
'. I must say, this is a beautiful office!'.
'. Do.....you..like it?'.
'.[Smiles]...it's up to my style!'.
'. Are you...Mei Lien...?'. Xiabo slowly asked.
'. Mei Lien?.....who is that?'.
'. Ah!....pardon my manners, you just remind me of a friend!'.
'. Okay!'.
'. You said you are....?'.
'. Ah!...Ài Mei Xia!'.
'. Oh!'.
'. You must be surprised why I am here?'.
'. [Fakes a smile]....yes...yes!'.
'.[Smiles]...I am just here to help your company grow!'.
'. Grow?'.
'. Um!'.
'. Why are you helping us?'.
'.[Smiles].....Mr Lei will you keep asking your helper questions?'.
'. Miss Xia, it's a little surprising why you want to help us.
'. [Sighs]...I admire Lei's company, that's all!'.
'. Where do will start from?'.
'. Already?'.
'. [Fakes a smile].....I don't want to keep such a beautiful lady waiting!'.
'. I am glad to hear that!'. She smiled at him.
'. Do you need anything?'.
'. Ah!...no, I am leaving now!'.
'. Now?'.
'. I have something to do. She gets up to leave.
'. Let me walk to the car'.
'. No need, I think you have something more important to do.
She walked out of the office.
'. Let's go!'. She said to Mulang as she got to the car.
'. How was it?'.
'.[Sighs]....as I expected!'. She smiled.
'.[Pants]'. Lei Wuije keeps walking in circles.
'. Can you stop!!'. She yelled at him.
'. You don't get it!..... Mei Lien isn't dead!!....which means the USB is still with her!!'.
'. Why are you getting all worked up?!!!'. She gets up angrily.
'. What's wrong with you?....can't you see our doom is here?!'. He held her shoulder.
'. Lei Wuije I can't believe you!'.
'....'.
'. Mei Lien is dead and gone..... everyone may be double-faced!'.
'. Xiabo!!.....do you understand what am saying?'.
'. Lei, be calm please!'.
'. [Sighs]'. He sat down.
'. We were able to deal with her once, we can do it again!'. She assured him.
Lin Ba interrupted the conversation between Miss Zhao and Mr Lu as he walked into the office in a hurry.
'. Mr Lu.....'.
'. I am sorry!'. He apologized.
'. What's wrong?'.
'. Mr Lu, you are right!'.
'. Right about what?'.
'. Miss Xia is complicated!'.
'.[Sighs]'. He rubs his head.
'. Is everything okay?'. Miss Zhao asked.
'. No one is special!'.
'. No one special?...but made you so stressed?'.
'.[Sighs]....is there anything else, Miss Zhao?'.
'. Since my father already agreed to work with you, I have nothing else to say!'. She smiled.
'. Okay....then I think we are done for the day!'.
'. I will leave now!'. She walks out of the office.
'.[Sighs]'.
'. Speak!'.
'.....Miss Xia was seen in Lei company!'.
'. What!'.
'. [Sighs]'.
'. Why was she in Lei's company?'.
'. If she is Miss Lien, she has every right to go back to Mr Lei'.
'. What's so good about him?!'.
'. Mr Lu....if you ask me, I would say that your encounter with Miss Xia isn't coincidental at all!'.
'. Mr Ba....did you investigate all I asked you to?'.
'. Miss Xia is Mr.'s granddaughter, it's normal for her to go see the hotel!'.
'. Are you sure she is.....Ài Mei Xia?'.
'.[Sighs]...like I said, Mr Lu, she is complicated!'.
'.[Sighs]'.
Later that evening, Mrs. Xin and Miss Zhao sat there in the living room...
'. Mrs Xin, you flatter me!'. She smiled.
'. [Smiles].....Miss Zhao, I must say you have gotten prettier over the years!'.
'. Mrs Xin....I am embarrassed!'.
'. How has Si Cheng been these days?'.
'. He's been really busy!'.
'.[Sighs].....He's been really busy since I returned, most times he didn't return, when I called his assistant, he said he would be staying overnight,...I felt a little sad!'.
'. Mrs Xin.....please don't be sad...he is doing all this to make the company better!'.
'. He reminds me of his father'.
'. Aunty.....I hate to see you sad!'.
'. Let's forget about me...let's talk about you!'. She stares at her.
'. Me?.....there is nothing about me!'.
'. Really?'.
'. [Blushes]....there is nothing!'.
'. How is your relationship with Si Cheng?'.
'. Relationship?..... What relationship?'.
'. Are you pretending?...do you think I don't know you have feelings for my son?'.
'. Aunty, how did you find out?'.
'. I am a woman!....and I have also been through this same phase of life!'.
'. Aunty, now you know...'.
'. You have always loved Si Cheng from high school days, I know.
'. High school days?....even now, I love him but he doesn't know that!'.
'. Then tell him!'.
'. Aunty, I can't.....I can't even see love in his eyes.....I once gave him a clue.....and he rejected!'.
'. Zhao Lisha!....you are a woman...you know what you want, and you have to get it!'.
'. Aunty, I think Si Cheng will listen to you!'.
'. Okay!..... I will speak with him!'.
'. I guess he isn't coming home today.
'. I thought as much!'.
Lu Si Cheng walked in, only to see his mother and Miss Zhao having a chat together.
'. Mom?...Lisha?'.
'. Si Cheng!!'. She runs to hug him.
'. Son, you are back!'.
'. That's okay!'. He said to Miss Zhao as she still hugged him tightly.
'. Oh!'. She let go.
'. Why are you here?'. He turned to her.
'. Can't she come?...she is also my daughter!'.
'.[Sighs]'.
'. Guess what!..... I made your favorite!'.
'. I am not hungry!'.
'. You have always loved my food!'. She pulled him along to the dining room.
'. It's your favorite!'.
'. Wait!'.
'. Oh!'.
'. Why are you here?'.
'. Why can't I come here?..... I just came to see your mom...and you are all angry!'.
'.[Sighs].....Lisha!....we have been friends....how many times will I say this....you are nothing but my friend!'. He walked away.
'. [Sighs]...'.
'. Lisha!...are you okay?'. Mrs Xin walked to her.
'. I am fine.....I think I will just leave!'. She walked away.
Mei Xia lay there in her bed reading a book. A call came in. She picks up.
'. Hello?'.
'. You forgot me, didn't you?'.
'. Who's speaking?..... I do not have time for games!'.
'. Miss Xia....is this how you speak with your clients?'.
'. Clients?'.
'. Miss Xia, it's me, Mr Lu!'.
'. Mr Lu?'. She immediately sits on her bed.
'. Now you remember me?'.
'. Mr Lu....how...did you have my number?'.
'. Is that the first thing you are going to ask me?'.
'.[What am I supposed to say then?]...Mr Lu, I am sorry, I had no idea it was you!'.
'. It's okay!'.
'. Are you calling for business?'.
'. Do people only call you for business?'.
'. 80% of them, sure do!'.
'. I see, Miss Xia must be a very busy woman!'.
'. You got it right!'.
'. I wanted to ask....do you know Mr Lei?'.
'. Mr Lei?....not at all!, I just met him!'.
'. Really?'.
'. Mr Lu why are you suddenly asking?'.
'. Just curious!'.
'. Curiosity kills the cat!'.
'. Okay....let's have coffee sometime together.
'. Okay'.
'. See you soon!'.
'. Okay!'. The call ended.
'.[Sighs]....who are you Ài Mei Xia?!'.
