Imperfect Desires

560 Heated Argumen

-Qiu Family House-

Just when Ying entered the house, she was faced with the last person she expected to see; Liu Nuan. Seeing her here, Ying wasn't that surprised since she was Qiu Meihui's best friend but she wasn't pleased to see her either. She greeted her desultory before asking, "Where is Weiwei?"

"She went out with Meihui," answered Liu Nuan.

"Damn it!" Ying cursed under her breath. Francesca clearly instructed her to deliver these bags to Zhao Wei. How was she supposed to do it when the receiver was not even home? Don't tell me I'll have to wait here? She couldn't help eyeing Liu Nuan for a minute. Clearly, she didn't like this company. "When will she be back?"

"They are about to come back soon," said Liu Nuan as she fidgeted under her gaze. She couldn't believe it even now how Meihui was able to stand so tall and mighty before Ying's dominant presence. "You can just wait inside."

Ying didn't need to be told as she just perched down on the sofa with a bad mood. The maid brought a cup of milk tea for Ying and retreated silently when she noticed the awful atmosphere between Ying and Liu Nuan.

Liu Nuan was biting her lips as she played with her nails anxiously. Several times she opened her mouth to say something but closed it. This moment of hers wasn't really concealed from Ying who seemed to be looking everywhere. However, she didn't open her mouth as well. If she had to say something, Liu Nuan had to be the one to talk first.

"I heard you met with Jinhai?"

Ying took a sip of her milk tea as she hummed in agreement. "I met him. But how do you know that?" Liu Nuan was startled by that question. "Don't say you know because he is your husband. The relationship between you two is most clear to me. There is no way he'd tell you about his daily ongoings. Unless..." she purposely took a pause to observe her expressions of unease. "You have someone keeping an eye on him. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk."

Ying was really blunt because of her disdain for such suspicious women. Even after snatching him from someone, she was still suspicious of her husband. What a joke!

"How audacious of you!" remarked Ying calmly. "You do realize that the woman you called mistress in your relationship is already dead, right?"

Liu Nuan's face paled under Ying's gaze. She didn't know why but she wasn't able to look up. For some reason, today Ying's presence was very hostile. Although Ying always appeared like a white lotus, she had often felt that Ying's aura was different. But today, it was especially different.

Liu Nuan's lips trembled as she said, "I didn't ask anyone to follow him. It's his own mother. And it's his mother who wanted me to find you to ask what he met you for."

Ying snorted, "That controlling mother of his is no better. What else can I expect from her?" Shaking her head, she added, "Do you really think I'll tell you why he met me?" Liu Nuan lowered her head, knowing Ying won't ever answer that. "Besides, what's wrong with Jini meeting me? We had known each other since we were young kids, is it wrong for old friends to meet up for a catch-up? You women are really suspicious huh? He doesn't even have the right to freedom?"

Liu Nuan shook her head like a rattle, "That's not what I mean."

"Oh, then you think that I'll snatch him away from you? Sorry, I have my own boyfriend. I've stopped looking at boys who don't have me in their hearts." Smiling provocatively she added, "I think you already know what it feels like to live with someone whose heart belongs to another. I won't need to explain this feeling to you."

Liu Nuan felt her blood turning cold. Ying had always been so polite and good-natured before the elders that Liu Nuan really forgot how poisonous her tongue could be.

Clenching her fists, she stood up and yelled, "Will you stop attacking me? You don't even know what I go through every single day!"

"Didn't you brought it upon yourself?" retorted Ying while sipping on her tea as calmly as before. There wasn't a single change in her expression. She really seemed like she was talking about the weather. "You wanted Jini, you got him. What are you crying for now?"

Liu Nuan wiped her tears that had fallen as she shouted, "I know I brought it upon myself but you don't have to rub it in like this. So what if I got him, he still isn't mine! I could push Chen Xiu out of his life, but I'm still stuck with her lingering ghost that tortures me."

Ying's lips curled up slightly as she said, "And who's the one who turned her into a ghost?"

"I didn't kill her," sobbed Liu Nuan as she fell down on the sofa like a deflated balloon.

"No, you just left her with no dignity to survive."

Liu Nuan had no words to argue with Ying. She was defeated because no matter what she said won't wash her clean of her sins. If she really hadn't lied back then, Chen Xiu wouldn't have such a bitter end. At least, she'd still be the pure and pristine Goddess Xiu in her fans' eyes. And not the one who was scorned by everyone.

"What is going on here?"

Liu Nuan immediately wiped her tears when she heard the voice of her best friend and looked over to see Qiu Meihui walking in with a heavy expression.
