Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 58 - A Dramatic Queen

"Ah, Liqing! Come here." Fu Lan beckoned her daughter towards herself. "Take a seat here." She gave her own seat to Liqing which was in the middle of Xu Mey and Ye Jie. "Ye Jie, our Liqing is really like you. She loves to work. Today is Saturday and she was still working hard at the company."
"Mom!" Liqing pretended to be angry. "I can not be like Mr. Ye Jie. He's such an accomplished person. Although he's my role model I'm still far from him." Xu Liqing was in perfect sync with her mother.
They really took Ye Jie to be just a noble, polite and kind person. But every person has a side they don't want others to see. Ye Jie also had that side. He had already done his study on both Fu Lan and Xu Liqing. He was aware where Xu Liqing spent her time. Even today, he knew that she was out on a shopping spree with her socialite friends.
"That's a good thing." Ye Jie started. "But I heard Xu Liqing was rejected for the role in Director Yang's film." Ye Jie was putting her being kicked out of the crew nicely. It was a blunt taunt but both mother and daughter were too oblivious to that.
Fu Lan laughed waving her hand. "Oh no... It was just that Xu Liqing wanted to focus on the company work now. The entertainment industry is not for people from our circle."
Ye Jie nodded indicating that he understood. Inwardly he was sneering. 'She doesn't even know how to read balance sheets. How will she focus on your company?'
After the dinner, Ye Jie accompanied Xu Chen and Fu Lan to the living room for tea. Xu Mey was walking behind them. Xu Liqing intentionally stretched her leg to trip Xu Mey but as they say, 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.' Xu Mey swiftly avoided the mishap. But it just infuriated Xu Liqing even more.
She grabbed Xu Mey's arm with extra force. Xu Mey raised her brows as her eyes held disdain for her. "Don't be so happy, elder sister. You won't stay as Ye Jie's wife for long." Xu Liqing sneered.
Xu Mey didn't try to escape from her clutches. "Well my dear little sister, are you enjoying being a laughing stock? It must have been fun to be kicked out of Director Yang's movie at the last moment. Right?" Xu Liqing saw the smirk on Xu Mey's face that made her tremble.
'Did she do something? No no... She doesn't have the resources to do anything.' Xu Liqing immediately kicked the idea out of her mind.
"Don't try to be smart with me. If you were able to play a game with me at your wedding, it doesn't mean you can play it again. You're just a mouse whose tail is under my feet. I can crush you anytime." She glared with contempt in her eyes.
"Oh my dear sister, you're really naive. Have you heard about: 'What you do not want to be done to yourself, do not do to others.'" Xu Mey didn't lose her smirk. Instead, it was more prominent now.
Xu Liqing laughed menacingly. "You think you can put me exactly where I placed you years ago? That's your wishful thinking."
"There was a time, you made me look like a liar. Today, I'll make you a liar." As Xu Mey's smile broadened it scared Xu Liqing for some unknown reason.
In a second, the smile was gone. Xu Liqing felt like it was just her mind playing games with her. Xu Mey's whole demeanor took a 180 degrees turn. "Little sister, please don't take this from me." Xu Mey's eyes were watery while her face was completely red. She deliberately raised her voice. "This bracelet was a gift from my brother-in-law. I can't give it to you. I'll get you another one if you want." Xu Mey scratched her own neck while ruffling her hair making the low bun loosen up. "Liqing don't hit me. I'm still your elder sister."
Xu Liqing was in shock. It took her a while to come around. She tried to let go of her arm but Xu Mey held her hand at that place to make it look like it she was trying to escape from Liqing. In anger, Liqing lost control and raised her hand at Xu Mey. Xu Mey being the drama queen fell even though Liqing's hand barely grazed her cheek.
"What do you think you're doing?" The booming voice belonged to Ye Jie who came because of the noises. But seeing Xu Mey fall to the ground made him seethe in wrath. He bent down to help Xu Mey stand as her body was trembling terribly and her face was stained with tears. Blood-shot eyes, reddened face, streams of tears, all of this acted like oil to the fire.
He hid her in his embrace and looked at Xu Liqing with a fury gaze. "How dare you touch my wife?"
Fu Lan came around to soothe things out. "Ye Jie don't be angry. They are sisters and it sometimes happens between sisters." The whimpering body in his embrace made him lose all rationale.
"I don't care. She is my, Ye Jie's wife now. I won't give just anyone a chance to hurt her like this. Even if that person is her own sister." Ye Jie's voice was resolute that made a flash of light appear in Xu Cheng's eyes.
"There must be a misunderstanding here. Liqing, tell me what happened?" Fu Lan inquired in a gentle voice. But before Xu Liqing could speak, Xu Mey said.
"Little sister liked this bracelet of mine." Xu Mey showed the bracelet on her wrist to Ye Jie. Her voice was hoarse. "I told her it was Ye Jun who gave it as a present to me. But she insisted on taking it." Her pitiful eyes looked up at Ye Jie. "I couldn't give it to him. Ye Jun won't be happy and that will hurt your feelings as well." Xu Mey started crying at the end of the speech. Ye Jie rubbed his hand on her back to comfort her.
Xu Liqing was speechless. She didn't know how to refute. But when she opened her mouth to say something, Ye Jie spoke up. "I don't want anyone else' explanations. My wife's words are the truth for me." He glared at Liqing making her cower in fear. "You better remember who she is from now on. I won't be this polite next time." Ye Jie didn't listen to anything else and walked out of Xu Residence with Xu Mey. He didn't pay heed to Fu Lan's attempts to stop him.
