Chapter 67 - There Is A Difference? (1/2)

"Ah! What are you guys doing here?" She was really surprised to see them standing before her. "Weren't you out of country Wang? And Lin Shen, you had some surgeries, you promised in S City. As for you He Jian, I thought you had to stay at your family home." In all her rambling, she didn't notice the way they were looking at her.

He Jian moved forward and pulled her in for a hug making her stop rambling. "You didn't even bother to tell us that you were at the hospital yesterday. Are we that unimportant now?" The downcasted tone of He Jian was very new to Xu Mey. He was a mysterious person who never let his emotions show.

"And we had to know of it through someone who saw you leaving the hospital last night." Lin Shen said. He seemed dispirited.

"And I took the first flight to get here and you're asking why are we here?" Wu Wang's voice made her realize how much she must have let them down.

"Sorry! I was going to tell you, today. It was very late last night and I didn't want to disturb you all." Xu Mey replied while looking down guiltily.

"What happened?" Li Qiao had to get to the point. First, because he didn't like her guilty look and second, because he needed to know the reason.

Xu Mey had to relate all the events from entering the Xu Residence to leaving it along with the hospital escapade. While she was at it, she explained the nightmare as well only leaving the part where Ye Jie talked about 'Kun Village'. She knew they will end up beating him and she didn't want that. Especially, because he hurt her unintentionally and she was also the one who hurt him in the end.

Although their anger for Ye Jie thawed a bit the anger for Xu Liqing and Fu Lan reached a new pinnacle. If only their Xu Mey gave them permission to take her revenge, they wouldn't hesitate for a second.

"Let us help you with the food," Li Qiao offered and all of them nodded indicating their agreement.

"No... No... Stop!" Xu Mey stopped them from touching anything. "You guys go back. I don't your help at all. I'll see you later." She pushed them out of the kitchen literally asking them to get out of the house.

"You barely cook for us anything. What's so special about your mother-in-law?" Wu Wang was being childish for no reason.

She groaned in exasperation. "Auntie Li said mothers-in-law are very cunning. I have to be in her good books. She seems hostile for some reason." She replied.

"Tell me, I'll take care of your mother-in-law for you, " All of them cracked their knuckles when Wu Wang said that.

Xu Mey knew they were not kidding at all. If they want, they can take very special care of her mother-in-law. But she didn't want to get to that level... Not yet.

"Forget it... Go back now..." She had to push them again.

They were dejected for being treated this way by their Xu Mey but they didn't want to make anything worse for her. Therefore, they chose to leave.

As they were about to leave when Father Ye bumped into them. Seeing Mass Media King Li Qiao, World renowned Surgeon Lin Shen, one of the youngest heir to a conglomerate family Wu Wang and the CEO of the famous Architecture Firm who had a mysterious background He Jian, Father Ye was in a daze for a minute. He blinked repeatedly to assure himself that he wasn't dreaming.

"Hello, Mr. Ye!" All of them greeted Father Ye before walking past him.

When Father Ye came out of his daze, he called them from behind. "You guys should stay for some food, It's already lunchtime anyway." He invited them to join not because of politeness but because of making connections. There was no need to mention their individual families, they were powerful people themselves.

Father Ye guided them to the back garden and Mother Ye was also surprised to see them. At the wedding, she saw them but to both parents, they were just casual friends. They didn't notice them much because of their low-profile lifestyle but after asking around, they realized how important these four people were.
