Chapter 18 - The Game Has Just Begun (1/2)

"What are you saying, grandfather? I'm not lying to you all." Xu Liqing got anxious hearing Grandfather Xu's words. She knew her grandfather loved Xu Mey. She thought he was trying to save her. "I even locked her in the storage room. You can check yourself."

Sharing a meaningful look, all the elders decided to follow Xu Liqing. "She's still inside and she might be having another episode. So, be careful she can be violent." She was being cautious, she was making Mother Ye and Father Ye have a bad impression of Xu Mey.

She took the key and opened the lock but what awaited her was an empty storage room. There was not a single person inside. Xu Liqing was baffled and in her frustration, she started acting like a crazed person.

"I told you Liqing, Xu Mey's been in the bridal room for hours now." Grandfather Xu again spoke up for his eldest granddaughter.

"Believe me, everyone. She was here. I locked her here myself." Xu Liqing's face was stained with tears. Fu Lan hugged her daughter and murmured lightly, "I believe you, sweetheart."

All the elders went to the bridal room to check on Xu Mey.

Actually, Grandfather Xu and Xu Liqing were both telling the truth. Both of them spent the time with a Xu Mey. But that's different that one met with the real Xu Mey in the storage room and the other met Jun Li Na who was replacing Xu Mey for a while. Jun Li Na and Xu Mey had quite similar features but the real magic was in Sun Ju's face pack which covered her face.

When the elders walked inside the bridal room, the real Xu Mey was already dressed in her bridal wear and was getting her make-up touched. "Is everything okay, grandfather? You just left a few minutes ago." Xu Liqing was baffled once again but this time the reason was the beautiful face of Xu Mey.

Xu Liqing always thought she was the prettiest daughter because Xu Mey always wore baggy clothes to hide her figure and her hair was always in a mess in front of her face along with her big glasses, she looked like a nerd.

"Your sister said, you slapped her." Fu Lan had a grim expression not liking the way Xu Mey looked.

"But step-mother, little sister didn't even come to me. How can I possibly slap my own sister?" Xu Liqing thought herself to be the smartest one but she never took her opponent to be the cunning one. Xu Mey not only said that she didn't slap Xu Liqing, in turn, she even blamed her for not even coming to her sister on her wedding day.

Xu Mey was keeping her head lowered and her every word was spoken with so much respect that anybody could feel how much scared she was. Xu Liqing wanted to puke blood on her acting skills which surpassed even her own. She so wanted to scratch Xu Mey's face at the moment.

"Why would she blame you if you didn't hit her?" Fu Lan was convinced that a cowardly person like Xu Mey could never hit Xu Liqing but she couldn't ignore her own daughter's words. Also, it was a good way to humiliate Xu Mey in front the Ye's.
