Chapter 246 - A friends pain (2/2)

”Mom…” Leng Shao felt his heart racing in his chest as he waited for his mother's reply. He can bear everyone's distrust but not his mother's.

”Leng Shao….don't you like Feng Mei? You have liked her all these years—”

”Mom! Are you doubting me?” Leng Shao asked, pain evident in his voice.

”No-no I'm not. Of course I know the person in the video is not you. My son will never do this.”

Leng Shao let go of the breath he was holding. He would really be hurt if his mother had doubted him.

”But the video is so real. Who could do something like this? Have you offended someone lately? Should I come to City S?” Leng Shao's mother asked. Clearly as a mother she was worried about her son.

”No mom. I'm fine. Dad is helping me solve things here. I'm sure we will get to the bottom of this soon.”

”Alright take care! I love you!”

”Love you too mom.”

Leng Shao said as he hung up the call.

Mrs. Leng looked at the phone in her hands and a glint of light passed through her eyes.

How did the video get leaked? No...Who recorded that video in the first place. For some weird reason she couldn't help but get scared.

She took a deep breath and shook her head. Everything will be okay. It has to be.

”Su Bei, are you okay?” You have locked yourself in your room the moment you came back from the launching. Weren't you going to be introduced as the vice president of the company? Did something happen?”

Jun Cha asked her daughter who was lying on the bed. She hadn't been out of her room since she came back from the launch. She hasn't even removed her dress.

She was wearing the gown she had worn to the gala. Her makeup was smeared on her face and her eyes were puffy. Clearly from crying.

The last time she saw Su Bei like this was when her father left them.

”Su Bei….say something. I-I” A series of coughs interrupted Jun Cha.

Su Bei sat up when she heard her mother coughing.

”Mom,are you okay?” Su Bei asked, concern evident in her tone.

Jun Cha forced out a smile and nodded. She knew her body better. She knew she didn't have enough time left but she didn't want to worry her daughter.

Before she leaves she wants to see her daughter happy and well off. Every mother wants what is best for their child and she was no different.

”Hmmm….I'm fine. Now tell Mom what's wrong.” Jun Cha cupped Su Bei's cheeks as she caressed it gently.”

Looking at the soft look in her mother's eyes. Su Bei couldn't help but break down again. She threw herself in her mother's arms as she cried out.

”Oh my baby….what is wrong? Tell mummy. Is it a boy? Has a boy hurt my dear daughter?”

Su Bei shook her head aggressively as she hugged her mother tighter. Nothing can beat a mother's warmth.

”Then what's wrong? Did something happen at work? Are you sick? Tell me. I'm worried.”

”I- For the first time I liked someone but he-he…..”

Sobs racked through Su Bei as she tried to calm down. It hurts so much. She never knew heartbreak can hurt like this. It's like someone was stepping on her heart and internal organs. She was bleeding inside and she couldn't even scream out.

”What did he do dear? Tell me.” Jun Cha furrowed her brows as she asked. She knew because of her sickness, her daughter hasn't had time for relationsh.i.p.s because she was busy taking care of her but now that she liked a guy it seems something really bad has happened.

”Mom….he-he likes my best friend not me. All this while I-I thought he liked me. I even envisioned our future together.”

Su Bei let out a humorless laugh as she wiped away her tears. She pulled away from her mother and stared at her fingers.

Jun Cha knitted her brows together.

”Your best friend? Who? Yan Mei?”

Su Bei played with her fingers and nodded.

”Yes Mom. He likes her not me. Why mom–why? Now I don't know what to do. What should I do mom?”
