Chapter 323 - Where Are We Going? (1/2)
''My situation in the Yu Family was not very favorable so I had to use some alibi...'' Yu Mei replied without revealing much.
Han Jingyi suddenly spoke up, ''Cousin, do you mean that cruel family was fooled by you? While they thought that you were an idiot, you were already the owner of an international luxury brand....''
Jun Zixuan shot her a warning glare and Han Jingyi choked on the rest of her words when she felt his murderous aura. She pursed her lips, not knowing why she was suddenly afraid of him.
But... he looked more handsome with this aloof air around him.
While it looked like Han Jingyi was praising Yu Mei for her wits, her words were indirectly implying that she was a scheming person.
Yu Mei laughed, ''Of course, I had to play smart, cousin...'' She leaned back on the chair, ''Imagine if I knock you out and throw you inside a forest filled with wild animals...'' Her tone was quite serious as she said that.
The people in the room glanced at her.
Han Liyun could not take it anymore, ''What do you mean by saying such things to my sister?” He snarled.
Han Jing frowned, ''Liyun, mind your behavior,'' He sternly said, with an authoritative aura around him.
Han Liyun pursed his lips.
Yu Mei smiled, back to her playful self, ''I was just stating an example. If Cousin had encountered such a situation, she will learn to fight back. She can't just stand there stagnantly, waiting to perish in the wild. Desperate time call for desperate measures...''
And her words cleared the bit of doubt that Han Jingyi incited. What she meant to say was staying with Yu Family and suffering every day, she learned a few tricks to deal with the dangers around her.
Han Suyin's heart ached for her. This poor child had gone through a lot.
...
''I was caught off guard,'' Yu Mei lowered the car seat as she leaned back, ''I never expected to meet them here.''
''They even invited you again...'' Jun Zixuan playfully said as he focused on the road instead of looking at the woman who had removed her heels as she placed her feet on his lap, ''Aren't you excited?”
''What's there to be excited about? The elders seem good yet mysterious to me, the younger generation is messy...'' Yu Mei thought about the Han siblings. The brother was staring daggers at her throughout the dinner while the sister was saying poisonous words disguised in a layer of honey, ''As long as they don't come for me, let's put up a family façade.''
Jun Zixuan handled the steering wheel with one hand while he placed his other hand on her milky white feet, slowly gliding it up and down.
''That's ticklish...'' She laughed a bit and his hand rested on her ankle obediently, caressing the redness caused by the straps of her heels, ''If I am related to Han Family or Han Suyin, then that means Yu Mei Zhen and I are also related.''
Jun Zixuan remained quiet but his silence was like an affirmation.
''She must have seen me and Ah Jin all over the news then why did she only approach me today in the restaurant...'' She thought about it, ''Moreover, although you made necessary preparations but from their side, it looked like a coincidence. She even addressed me formally but when I rejected her invitation for dinner, she seemed sad and in the end, she revealed her identity.''
