Chapter 62 - Gala(4) (1/2)
Anger and possessiveness surged through Wang Lu as he walked towards Yan Mei and Wang Lu. Just as he was about to reached them a figure blocked his view. Wang Lu stopped and looked up at the person. Wang Lu growled in anger.
”Leng Shao.” He coldly spat the name he hasn't uttered for five years.
Leng Shao smirked and swirled his glass of wine, ”I know you hate me for whatever stupid reason. But for the sake of being old friends I have to stop you from doing something you would regret later.”
A confused frown marred on Wang Lu's forehead. ”What are you talking about?” He seethed.
”I know you think she is Feng Mei, but she isn't. Her name is Yan Mei and that man is her husband.”
A boiling fury swelled inside Wang Lu and his muscle grew tense when he heard, ”her husband.”
'How can she get married?'
Leng Shao heaved a sigh, ”I know it's hard to accept but that woman isn't someone who you can afford to mess with. Look at her, Feng Mei was shy and innocent but look at this woman. She is the complete opposite. She is dangerous, aloof and the CEO of a multibillion-dollar company.”
Wang Lu clenched his fists so hard, his nails cut into his skin.
”Why should I believe you?”
Leng Shao chortled humorlessly when he heard him.
”Yeah, why should you believe your best friend who slept with your wife, and is telling you someone who looks like your ex-wife isn't her?”
Leng Shao gulped down his drink and walked closer to Wang Lu.
”One day, I'm going to prove to you that I never slept with your wife and everything was fabricated. Then you would live with the regret of losing your best friend and wife due to your stupid ego.”
Leng Shao murmured with a sinister smile on his face, then he left Wang Lu there fuming.
Irritation surged up inside Wang Lu, taking a deep breath he raked his fingers through his hair. As if debating on what to do next.Wang Lu's gunmetal eyes looked at the woman glowing in another man's hand, and a look of great bitterness swept across his face.
He decided to investigate the woman before rushing to confront her. He knew deep down she was his Meimei. Even though she had changed her name and her temperament he knew those eyes of hers which has been haunting him for years can never be changed.
Leng Shao looked at the back of Wang Lu leaving the ballroom and an unknown glint passed through his eyes.Heaving a sigh, he turned to look at the woman who was oblivious to everything happening around her. After the meeting with Yan Mei, he had investigated this mysterious woman who looked like Feng Mei but he didn't find anything that would satisfy him.But he wouldn't give up, he knew deep down it was Feng Mei.
Years of quietly observing the woman you secretly love makes you notice all the little details about her. The least thing he could for her is to prevent Wang Lu from destroying her happy moment.
LengShao knew Wang Lu would never make a scene once he gets to know that, the woman isn't his Meimei that's why he stopped him from approaching her by building doubts in his heart. He could see she was happy with that guy.
Looking at the soft smile tugged at the corners of her lips, Leng Shao half smiled. His smile congealed into sadness when he remembered the last time he spoke to his best friend.
*FLASHBACK*
Wang Lu sat on the floor of his bedroom with his back against his bed, draping his elbows loosely over his knees he stared hard at the wall. Bottles of whiskey laid down around him.He chugged down on the last bottle of whiskey while reminiscing the happy moments with her.
He remembered the first time he met her. He smiled seeing the memory of her. He looked at the spot and could actually see her with her brows hunched together scolding him for drinking. She was adorable.Wang Lu squeezed his eyes shut tight as if that would remove the memory out of his mind.
He opened his eyes and she was gone. Wang Lu let out a loud growl of annoyance when he tried to take a sip of his whiskey and realized the bottle was empty.
