Chapter 343 - You Know The Way Out (1/2)

"Now, let's get to business. You were calling me." Xu Mey stayed quiet while Ru added, "Either you wanted to tell me something or you wanted to ask for something. Correct?"

Xu Mey pursed her lips before answering, "Yeah. I actually want to tell you something but I also want to ask something as well."

"Okay!" Ru nodded and held her shoulders to turn her body saying, "First, take a seat. We don't want you getting tired now, do we?"

Xu Mey listened to her and took a seat at the wooden bench. Ru, on the other hand, didn't sit. Putting her hands in her pocket, her green orbs roamed around to see the skyscrapers brightly lit even at this time of the night.

"Start with the story you want to tell me." Xu Mey heard Ru's voice and stiffened up a bit.

Inhaling a deep breath, she started relating the incident of the day she got into an accident.

*Flashback*

When Xu Mey came to the office, she was feeling quite refreshed. There was no sign of any nausea or headache. She started her work without any worry and didn't keep a track of time.

It was close to the lunch hours when someone opened the door of her room and she heard her assistant's squeamish voice. "Madam, I told you Ms. Xu is busy."

Xu Mey lifted her eyes to see Xin Qian standing at her door with her assistant fidgeting behind her. "I'm sorry, Director. But this Madam didn't listen to me."

"It's okay, QiQi. You can leave." Xu Mey waved her off and looked at Xin Qian with surprise. She had only met the woman once at the He Family house. She only knew that this woman was her mother-in-law's friend and also, Li Qiao's aunt. But she was confused about why she came to see her.

Feeling uncomfortable under the scrutiny of Xin Qian's gaze, Xu Mey stood up from her chair walked towards the seating area in her office and broke the silence. "Have a seat, Ms. Xin. I wonder what brought you here."

Xin Qian suddenly pulled her into her embrace taking Xu Mey by surprise. Xu Mey stood frozen not moving at all. She didn't even know what was going on. "Ms. Xin," Xu Mey tried to speak and squirm her way out of her embrace but Xin Qian tightened her grip.

"I'm so sorry. I'm really sorry for not recognizing you sooner." Hearing Xin Qian's voice choked up with tears, Xu Mey was confused even more. Xin Qian pulled away a bit and kissed Xu Mey's face. "I missed you so much. You have no idea how much I've missed you."

Not being able to take this anymore, Xu Mey pulled away from her grip keeping a distance of an arm's length. "Wait! Ms. Xin, I don't understand anything that you're saying."

Xin Qian tried to hold Xu Mey's hands but she stepped back. "Mey, it's me. Your mom." Her voice quivered but Xu Mey understood her words very well. "Mom missed you-,"

"Stop!" Xu Mey cut her off. "Don't you dare say that you missed me. Because I don't believe a single word."

"Baby girl," Xin Qian's voice got softer.
