Chapter 184 - Falling For Tricks (1/2)

"Of course, I know her," He Susu replied.

"How?" Xu Mey slid closer to her curiously.

"Well... We used to be best friends back in school days." He Susu smiled at Xu Mey who was gaping.

"Best friends? Are you sure?" Obviously, Xu Mey wasn't convinced.

He Susu passed an odd look to Xu Mey saying, "How can I be wrong about that? We were really best friends."

"So, what happened then?" Xu Mey probed a bit.

"What do you mean?" He Susu frowned.

"I mean, Aunt Su you just said that you guys were best friends. Are you not anymore? Or something happened? Like a conflict or something?"

He Susu pondered for a while and answered, "We didn't have any conflict. After high school, she just vanished and I didn't see her after that." After a pause, she changed the topic saying, "Oh, I have something in the kitchen. I made it for you to take home. Give it your husband okay?" Xu Mey nodded in a daze.

'If there was no conflict then why did she vanish? And why is Jie with her?' Xu Mey thought that she'd go crazy thinking about all this, so she stopped thinking.

Zhu Qinyang had noticed her frustration. "Xiao Mey!" Xu Mey looked at Zhu Qinyang. "I don't know why you're so curious but if you want to know about the conflict, go to my brother. Chen never told Su about what Zhou Ning did."

Xu Mey straightened up. "What did she do?"

Zhu Qinyang shook her head while shrugging. "I really have no clue. I just know that Chen asked me to make sure that Zhou Ning doesn't come anywhere near Su. When I asked the reason, he said that she's not worthy of being a friend of Su."

That left Xu Mey in an even bigger dilemma. 'What the hell happened?' She had the urge to scream.

"Auntie Qin-Qin, where is Uncle Chen?" Xu Mey asked about the whereabouts of Zhu Chen.

"Chen is in Imperial City for some work. He'll be back in a few days."

'Gosh! I have to wait more! That's not fair anymore!' But she could only swallow up her frustration and say, "I'll wait for him then."

Xu Mey stayed till late afternoon with them and when she decided to leave. He Susu brought the packed meal for Xu Mey to take with her. Xu Mey gladly took the food and left the military compound.

On her way back to home, Xu Mey received a call from an unknown number. She picked up and before she could speak, she heard a familiar voice, "Hello, dear elder sister!"

Xu Mey's good mood was thrown out the window. "What do you want?" She asked in an annoyed tone.

"What, don't plan on pretending to be the pitiful little girl anymore?" Xu Liqing asked with sarcasm.

"Not planning on it anymore. You get to the business."
