BXBX NOVEL Chapter 197 - Hidden Motives
"I didn’t expect you here as well even though I should have." Xu Mey commented. Jun Li Na was acting bravely before Xu Mey so, Xu Mey didn’t feel like probing her for the reason of her tears.
She knew how much the image mattered to Jun Li Na. She also knew that Jun Li Na would have shared with her if she wanted to.
"Let’s go inside," Jun Li Na looped her arm with Xu Mey’s and pulled her inside with herself. "Why are you alone?"
"Huh? Oh, Jie had to leave for some urgent work." Xu Mey answered still lost in her thoughts.
"Oh!" Jun Li Na nodded and muttered, "He must love you a lot."
It wasn’t a question but Xu Mey still agreed with her saying, "He really does love me a lot." Thinking about Ye Jie, Xu Mey could only smile.
Jun Li Na smiled and said, "You really are lucky." Xu Mey frowned and she continued, "You have so many people who love you. Just take your best friends alone. They love you so much more than I can even imagine. As for your brother-in-law, he seems to be head-over-heels for you as well."
"Huh! What do you mean? How is Ye Jun head-over-heels for me?" Xu Mey asked.
"Well, the other day, he actually had a bit of a teasing contest with Shuang." Jun Li Na related the incident when Ye Jun provoked Shuang with his words. Xu Mey couldn’t stop laughing as she heard the complete story.
Especially the part, "If you’ll hurt me once, my sis-in-law will kill you twice." That part made Xu Mey want to go and pat on Ye Jun’s shoulder. He finally did something worthy of being praised.
Seeing her grin, Jun Li Na asked, "Would you really hurt someone for Ye Jun?"
"Of course!" Xu Mey replied straightforwardly without even thinking.
"Why?" Jun Li Na questioned.
"First, because he’s my husband’s younger brother and second because he’s actually playing the role of my younger brother which I never had." Ye Jun had become very important in her life. With all their interactions, she had come to develop a strange connection with him. Perhaps that’s why Ye Jun always came to look for Xu Mey whenever he needed help.
Jun Li Na sighed audibly saying, "It surely is a beautiful connection." She drank the flute in her hand without blinking.
"Have you seen Xu Liqing?" Xu Mey asked Jun Li Na.
"Don’t mention that b*tch to me at all. If I got a chance, I’ll strangle her with my own hands." Xu Mey was surprised by the indignation in Jun Li Na’s voice. Although she was familiar with the fact that both Jun Li Na and Xu Liqing were never on good terms, it still was weird to know that these cousins relationship was this much worse now.
But what happened? They always avoided each other but when did they start despising each other?
Xu Mey couldn’t help her curiosity and ask, "What happened between you two?" Jun Li Na stayed quiet and looked at the glass of alcohol in her hand with melancholy in her eyes. "Don’t tell me that you were crying earlier because of her." Jun Li Na still kept her silence making Xu Mey’s doubt stronger. "What did she do, Li Na?"
Jun Li Na smiled sadly and said, "She’s snatching my man from me. Since she couldn’t get your husband, she has changed her prey to mine now. She truly is a classic example of like mother like daughter."
"What? And you let her?" Xu Mey almost yelled. "How could you give up so easily?"
"Mey, you’re not getting it. I can stop her but what am I supposed to do with my fiance? We can’t blame the third person when our own is not sincere." Jun Li Na couldn’t control the flood of tears that flowed down her tears.
From a side, Fu Shuang saw Jun Li Na crying and came running up to her, "Hey, little sister, what’s wrong with you? Did that idiot say something to you again?"
"Why don’t you go and ask your precious Liqing?" Xu Mey sneered from behind him. Fu Shuang couldn’t understand her meaning.
"You need to talk for me to know what’s going on here." Through Fu Shuang’s coaxing, Jun Li Na’s hiccups seized.
"Shuang, I just saw her acting coyly with Lu Ge. They were together in the parking lot in a dark corner. And when I tried to confront them, that crazy b*tch pushed me before climbing into his car and going God knows where." Jun Li Na spoke venomously as if saying Xu Liqing’s name was akin to soiling her tongue.
Fu Shuang was stunned for a moment but Xu Mey wasn’t. Perhaps, for Fu Shuang Xu Liqing only had a bad temper but only Xu Mey and Jun Li Na knew the unscrupulous ways of Xu Liqing.
Xu Mey dialed a number at the spot and said, "Look for Xu Liqing’s whereabouts, now!"
Fu Shuang’s dazed state broke and he looked at her asking, "What are you gonna do, Mey?"
"Well, I’m gonna change my plan a bit. Nothing else." Xu Mey replied with a chilly smile. In her anger, she even didn’t notice that Fu Shuang had called her ’Mey’.
Fu Shuang already knew that Xu Mey came with a hidden motive. There was no way that Xu Mey would come to his party without any reason.
