Chapter 168 - A Story To Tell (1/2)

After disconnecting the call when Xu Mey saw Zhou Qi's crumpled up face, she couldn't keep her smirk obscure. She felt triumphant for a moment before realizing; that lime bitterness was not even close to one bit of the pain that Zhou Qi had given to Wu Wang.

She took a deep breath, dropped her phone on the couch and plopped down right beside Azalea.

Azalea gave her a questioning look and Xu Mey returned a reassuring smile to her saying, "Don't worry. He won't tell Jian-Ge anything for now."

Azalea felt a huge burden lifting off of her shoulders and reclined back in relaxation.

After reassuring Azalea, Xu Mey turned to look straight at Zhou Qi. She felt like there was no need to hide her hostility for Zhou Qi from Azalea anymore since Azalea was already acquainted with Wu Wang.

"And may I ask what brought you to our humble abode?" Azalea couldn't help but cough at the sarcastic remark of Xu Mey.

"Can't I come to just meet you? After all, you're my cousin's wife." Zhou Qi wasn't wrong but Xu Mey knew that even in their last meeting, she had made her impression about Zhou Qi very clear by disregarding her presence altogether.

"Oh, cut it! Just get to the point!" Xu Mey didn't bother playing around with words and got straight to the business without dilly-dallying.

"Aren't you biased towards me?" Zhou Qi asked, elegantly crossing her one leg over the other.

"Ms. Zhou, do you know that I have four best friends?" Zhou Qi frowned at her question but still shook her head in reply. "In all my best friends, Wu Wang was the only one who never hid his emotions from the world. You can even call him an over-expressive kind of a person."

"What are you getting at?" Zhou Qi asked trying to maintain the calm and gentle smile on her face but it was getting tough.

"My point is that now, my Wang-Ge likes to hide behind people's criticism to avoid facing his own emotions." Xu Mey neither concealed the bitterness in her voice nor the disdain in her eyes. "And the reason for me losing my joyful and expressive brother is; you!" Xu Mey pointed a stern finger at Zhou Qi's face.

Zhou Qi's face went blanch and her heart felt like it was being pricked by Xu Mey's words but she bit the inside of her lips to keep herself from breaking down before Xu Mey.

Watching from the sidelines, Azalea could see Xu Mey intentionally hurting Zhou Qi while Zhou Qi clenching her fists making her knuckles pale. If Xu Mey's sardonic feelings were not concealed from her then Zhou Qi's painful expressions were also not unnoticed by her.

"I should take my leave, " Zhou Qi said with much difficulty before sprinting out the door.

"That was really mean of you, " Azalea commented after Zhou Qi left.

It wasn't like Xu Mey didn't know what she said but what she really didn't know was that her words were more than just painful for Zhou Qi. Xu Mey didn't want to say anything to Azalea, so, she went upstairs.
