Chapter 203 - Everything Hes Looking For
Meanwhile, Li Qiao drove Xu Mey home as per her Ah-Jie’s constant reminder. Li Qiao couldn’t decide whether to be happy or upset with Ye Jie’s constant disturbance during the meeting.
"Qiao-Ge, you look a bit upset." Xu Mey remarked looking at his face.
Li Qiao smiled at her pleasantly and said, "I’m fine, Xiao Mey."
"Liar, liar, pants on fire!" Li Qiao chuckled at her childish act and ruffled her hair.
"Just tell your Xiao Mey. She’ll make everything okay for you." Xu Mey patted her chest as she emphasized her point.
"Mom told me that my cousin is coming back to the country." Li Qiao spoke while Xu Mey’s brows arched up.
"But you love your cousin. What’s his name? I forgot again."
Li Qiao chuckled and replied, "Xin Xiamu. His name is Xin Xiamu. And I do love him a lot. He’s my only little brother. How can I not love him?"
"Then what’s the problem?" Xu Mey questioned. Or should I ask what exactly is he coming here for?"
Li Qiao sighed heavily. "Mom said that he’s coming for marriage."
"Oh!" That’s all Xu Mey could think of to say to him at the moment. She completely forgot that this cousin was the one who was engaged to Yu Kim whom Li Qiao loved a lot. She wanted to bang her head against the wall. When did relationships get so complicated? Or perhaps, only the relationships in her life were complicated.
It was getting difficult for her own self to keep track of her relationships at the moment. She felt like she needed to build a Family Tree properly linking every person to the other. Perhaps, it might help her frenzied mind.
"I recently talked to him." Li Qiao spoke again after a pause. "According to him, he’s coming to find some answers."
Xu Mey frowned. "Answers? What kind of answers?"
"That he didn’t tell me at all. He only said that Star City has everything that he’s looking for. I really have no idea what’s he planning but I hope he doesn’t act recklessly."
"Is he reckless?" Xu Mey inquired curiously.
"Not more than you. Mostly he’s very sensible but sometimes, he just acts on impulse."
"Relax! I believe that everything will be alright."
"Aren’t you hopeful today?" Li Qiao was surprised by her positive thinking.
"Well, if you think nice then only nice things will happen to you." Xu Mey said with a smile.
"And who said that?" Li Qiao raised his brow inquiringly.
Xu Mey grinned and rubbed the tip of her nose saying, "My Ah-Jie said that."
"Gosh! I’ll act like you didn’t say that." Li Qiao groaned in front of her but inwardly he was smiling himself. He felt content with her acting like a normal girl her age. "Take care of yourself!" Li Qiao said to her before she climbed down the car.
As she walked inside the house, she found Azalea sitting at the couch with a distressed look. Xu Mey wasn’t used to seeing that expression on her face. Azalea loved to smile and that’s what everybody liked about her.
"Everything okay with you, little sister?" Xu Mey asked taking a seat beside her on the couch.
Azalea looked at Xu Mey’s eager eyes and bit her lips. Clearly, she was in a dilemma whether to talk about the incident that happened or not. Finally, she decided to share it with her. "Sis, I went out with Jun-Ge."
Xu Mey smiled at her and said, "That’s nothing to be sad about since I can guarantee that my little brother can never make anyone sad." Calling Ye Jun her little brother felt so natural to her.
"I know that. Jun-Ge can make everyone feel happy but that’s not the issue."
"Then what’s the issue?" Xu Mey asked seriously.
Azalea ended up relating the whole thing about Jun Li Na. "Do you know the girl’s name that he saved?" Azalea shook her head.
"They both stayed silent all the way to here. After that, I don’t know where he took her." Azalea informed her.
"Can you tell me the girl’s features?" Xu Mey asked feeling uneasy in her heart.
"Erm... She had most of her face swollen so, I’m not too sure but yeah, there was a beautiful mole at the edge of her eye." Xu Mey’s body stiffened.
Xu Mey rubbed her forehead and said, "Zelie, go to sleep. I’ll take care of everything."
Azalea nodded and went upstairs to her room while Xu Mey paced in the living room repeatedly before picking up her cell phone to dial Ye Jun’s number.
Ye Jun picked up and whispered, "Hey, sis!"
"Where did you take her?" Xu Mey got the point.
"So, Zelie told you as I expected." Ye Jun remarked and went on, "I brought her to my apartment in the suburbs."
"You should have left her here," Xu Mey said.
"I also wanted to. But looking at her I realized that she would never want to appear in that condition before you. So, I brought here to save her dignity."
"Aiya! My little brother has really grown up after falling in love." Xu Mey remarked in a bit of teasing tone making Ye Jun smile.
"Sis, you can’t imagine the way she was behaving. She’s listless and it’s hurting me. I have never seen her this way before. I have the urge to murder that damn bastard who did it. But I don’t even know who he is." Ye Jun spoke ruefully.
"But I know who that bastard is," Xu Mey said with ferocity in her tone.
"Who is he? Tell me," Ye Jun asked.
"You stay with her. I’ll take care of that bastard. How dare he touched my best friend? I’ll show him what it means to hurt someone who Xu Mey cares for." Ye Jun could hear her conviction and couldn’t argue with that. He knew that Xu Mey would treat that bastard in a much worse way than himself.
