BXBX NOVEL Chapter 15 - You Need To Learn A Lesson
"It’s gonna been 10 years this summer," Replied Sun Ju with her eyes holding a loving gaze for her fiance.
"And on their 10th anniversary, they’re getting married," Xu Mey said the words Sun Ju left unsaid. Making Ye Jun nod in understanding.
All of them were sharing their random experiences when suddenly the lights in the club turned off. "What’s going on?" Wu Xia voiced out in fear of darkness.
They saw a candlelit moving towards them. The candle was placed on a cake and a tall person was holding it in hands. ’Who is he?’ The question was in everyone’s mind except for Xu Mey who got up from her place. "Jun Li Na, you got a way to congratulate huh?" She had a regal appearance matching the other person’s grandiose presence.
Lights lit up the club again showing the person’s graceful appearance. She looked like a young lady from a noble family that made Ye Jun awestruck. She made an unhappy expression and said in a complaining way, "I closed the club just for you and this is how you say thanks. I even baked this cake myself."
"Aiya, our dark world princess is really improving these days." Jun Li Na placed the cake on the table and narrowed her eyes at Xu Mey with her hands on her waist in an imposing way. Xu Mey chuckled a bit and said, "I was just messing with you, princess."
Both beautiful ladies shared a warm hug and Xu Mey introduced everyone to Jun Li Na. In normal days, Jun Li Na was known as the heiress of a biggest Real Estate Company. But on not so normal days, she was associated with the underworld people because of her family’s old history. For people, they were a clean company but Jun’s still had connections. Very strong ones at that. Jun Li Na spent her weekends running the illusion nightclub which was her sole business.
Xu Mey only talked about her being an heiress of Real Estate Company and left the other matters untold. Xu Mey blew the candle and cut the cake but since she didn’t like eating sweet things, Jun Li Na had Spicy Rice Cakes for her. Xu Mey dug into the spicy rice cakes as if her life depended on it.
They stayed at the club till midnight and finally decided to call it a night. Ye Jie offered to drop Xu Mey which she politely accepted. Ye Jie was driving his red sports car on an empty highway and Xu Mey was looking out the windows at the cold winter night. The lights on the road seemed dreamier and gentler to her, easing up her mind.
Xu Mey observed the way Ye Jie was avoiding her gaze and felt his brooding expression affecting her. "Do you ’Like sitting on a carpet of needles’ (To feel tense and uneasy) Because of the wedding tomorrow?"
Ye Jie shook his head with a small smile and turned his attention back to the road. He wasn’t nervous about the wedding. In fact, if someone would ask him, he would say he’s excited for some reason. The idea of spending his life with the most unpredictable girl was excitement in itself.
Ye Jie’s denial didn’t ease up the knot in Xu Mey’s mind. She had an intuition, he was hiding something from her. Xu Mey never liked the idea of someone keeping things from her. She remembered the way he was looking anxiously at his phone during the party.
Thinking about this, she sent a text to Li Na. ’NaNa, Do me a favor.’ By the time, she came back to her room, Li Na sent Ye Jie’s phone record for the past month which she asked for her. Xu Mey changed into her night clothes before looking through his records. It wasn’t that eye-catching. But a text sent about 3 days caught her sight which had her name in it.
’Mr. Ye, it’s Xu Liqing here. I want to meet you in person. Please, it’s related to Xu Mey.’ This was the first text from Xu Liqing to Ye Jie which was sent the same day she came back. There were more to follow.
’Mr. Ye, even if you disconnect my calls you have to know that I can’t let you ruin your life by marrying my sister.’
’She’s not a nice person. Do you know, she even tried to kill me when she was in high school. You have contacts, you can ask around about that incident. I’m not lying to you.’
’She’s a jealous person. She’ll ruin you along with your family. She only seems quiet but she isn’t that quiet or simple.’
’Mr. Ye, your fiance is having an affair with another guy. You can see me before the wedding at the back storage room of the hotel and I’ll show you the proof of her being unfaithful to you.’
After reading the texts, a wry smile appeared and her eyes held a dark look. "Seems like you love to interfere in my life." She looked at her reflection in the mirror. "You need to learn a lesson." Te smile on her face chilled. "Yes you do and being your elder sister, I’ll be kind enough to teach you a lesson." She replied to her own self.
A burst of evil laughter resonated inside her bedroom filling the room with a dark chill. She dialed a number and waited for the other party to pick up. "Hello!" A sleepy voice was heard from the other side.
"Director Yang, I believe you’re healthy," She said in her usually gentle voice completely hiding her evil aura.
"To what do I do to owe this pleasure to have Vintage’s CEO calling me at this hour of the night? Did I do something to offend you, Ms. Xu?" Director Yang’s voice was cautious as his heartbeat was getting harsh.
"No, no, Director Yang didn’t do anything to offend me," Director Yang breathed in relief but her next words made his breath hitch. "Yet."
Director Yang gulped audibly. "What can I do to avoid offending Ms. Xu?" His tone was really polite.
Director Yang was a 35-year-old man with an aspiring future ahead of him. But the girl on the other side of the phone was known as a devil. He’d met her only once but he heard about her reputation at plenty of occasions.
