Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 106 - Don't Be Late

Xu Mey stayed for another two days with the He Family and during this time, she learned a lot of things about Dr. Zhu Chen. For instance, the Zhu Family from generations were working for the government. Either as the politicians or as scientists. Dr. Zhu himself served as military surgeon back in the day but after an incident, he left the country with his wife and even his daughter was born while they were in Country A.
This time, Dr. Zhu Chen listened to his sister and came back to join his old position at the military hospital. Apart from this, Xu Mey also kept a close eye on his habits and realized how much he was like Ye Jie. From the way of carrying himself to the way of eating, everything was similar and these similarities were making Xu Mey even more frustrated than she already was.
On Wednesday, Xu Mey finally managed to leave the He Family House. He Jian himself dropped her at the Vintage Gems building. "Take care of yourself. And there is no need to hop around during this time. I'll send a car with a driver to be at your beck and call. Please, avoid riding on your motorbike."
Xu Mey kept listening to him nagging for another 15 minutes. "I'll do exactly what you said. So, please, stop Jian-Ge." She finally wasn't able to listen anymore.
Xu Mey would have loved to run inside the building to hide from his nagging but her ankle didn't allow her to run. She could only walk slowly. She tried her best not to limp enduring the pain. She didn't want to appear weak in front of her own employees at any cost.
"Are you feeling better, President Xu?" Her assistant, Qin Hao asked as she entered her office with much difficulty. There was cold sweat trickling down her face while she was panting.
"Uh huh." That's all she could manage to say at the moment. As if on cue, Qin Hao offered her a glass of water and she accepted it quite gladly.
She walked to her seat and reclined back on it while she placed her foot at a stool nearby. She waved her hand to beckon him to start talking. "President Xu, I have a piece of good news for you and a bad one too. Which one should I inform first?"
Xu Mey gave him a look that clearly said, 'just start talking already.' Understanding her intentions clearly, Qin Hao said, "The good news is that Jade Stones had filed for bankruptcy." Xu Mey didn't give much of a reaction. It was within her expectations that there was no future for Jade Stones anymore. She didn't only mess up their reputation but also messed with their share prices. It was about time for them to file for bankruptcy.
"The bad news is that Ms. Xu Liqing has managed to clean up her image. Jade Stones didn't only wipe their hands clean of the mole they placed in our company, they also managed to prove that Ms. Xu Liqing was away for months and because of that she wasn't aware of company matters." Qin Hao was feeling bitter. "And Jade Stones announced in the recent press conference that Ms. Xu Liqing will also apologize to Vintage Gems personally."
Xu Liqing will apologize to me? Xu Mey smirked. Interesting. Very interesting.
"Make sure to accommodate her when she comes for the apology and don't forget to let the media in." Xu Mey said all of sudden taking Qin Hao by surprise.
"President, she's trying to just figure out who is behind Vintage Gems and I don't think it's a good idea for you to reveal yourself." Qin Hao offered his suggestion.
"Qin Hao, you don't need to worry. Our young Princess Liqing has actually decided to ask for forgiveness. How can a harmonious person like me can deprive her of her right to apologize?" When Qin Hao heard her statement, he was crying inside.
'When did you become a harmonious person, President?' He didn't have the courage to say it to her face. He still had a wish to live and marry a pretty girl.
He saw the smirk on her face which scared him even more. "What are you planning to do?" He asked.
She tilted her head to look outside the glass wall at the skyscrapers as she rubbed her bottom lip. "I'm gonna make a boy oh no I mean a girl cry wolf."
Qin Hao felt his heart slowing down and didn't have the courage to ask for the meaning of her words. But he knew, whatever she was going to do, it was going to ruin Xu Liqing even more.
Since the time, Xu Mey made Xu Liqing's life difficult in the entertainment circle, her little sister was looking for ways to appear in press conferences to improve her image and now, she even was using charity as a means to enhance her screen time on the tv screen.
When my sister loves people talking about her then how can I as a sister not help her in her endeavors? I'll make sure people only talk about you for a long time, Xu Liqing.
Her painkillers were making her sleepy a lot in these past days. Even working in the office was getting difficult for her. She barely could manage to work till afternoon and felt really tired. True to his words, He Jian sent the car for her which brought her back to the Peach Estates. When she walked in the front garden, she saw Ye Jun standing before the door with an anxious look.
When he turned, his eyes caught Xu Mey's figure and he almost ran towards her. "Sis-in-law, where were you? You were not at home. You weren't picking up your phone and it scared me a lot." He kept talking without any intention of stopping. He saw the bandage around her ankle and his eyes widened. "Sis-in-law, how did you get hurt? What happened? I should call bro right now." He rummaged out his phone from his coat.
"Stop!" Xu Mey bellowed. "I'm fine. It's a small wound. Nothing too big. No need to make your brother worry for such a tiny thing."
"But-" Before Ye Jun could say anything, Xu Mey interrupted him.
"No buts are allowed. I'm fine means I'm absolutely fine. Come inside." She paced up to the door and entered the passcode while Ye Jun trailed behind her. She threw her blazer on the couch and sat down. "Why were you looking for me?" She asked narrowing her eyes at Ye Jun.
He pursed his lips then scratched the tip of his nose. "I just wanted to see my sis-in-law." He said excitedly with his usual goofy smile.
Xu Mey didn't buy his words even for a second. "Cut the cr-ap!"
Ye Jun coughed lightly to ease his throat. "I wanted to see if you could tell me where can I find your friend." He replied honestly this time.
"You mean, Jun Li Na?" Xu Mey asked as she remembered how her brother-in-law had a crush on her friend Jun Li Na since the bachelors' party night. Ye Jun nodded his head like a rattle. "I told you she's not your cup of tea. Why do you want to hold that hot potato?"
Ye Jun first gave her a surprised look for her choice of words and then he smiled. "And listening to my one and only sis-in-law, I actually tried to forget about her. But you see, sis-in-law, the more I want to stay away from her, the more my heart wants to see her. Just one time. Please!" He pleaded pitifully.
"You can find her at Illusion Nightclub close to midnight. She'll be on the fourth floor in the security room at that time. But let me warn you about one thing, the person who can remove her fiancé from her heart is her own self. So, don't push your luck." Xu Mey advised him sincerely.
"I'll keep that in mind. Thanks, sis-in-law and please take care of yourself. Do you want me to stay back to look after you?" Ye Jun offered but Xu Mey shook her head.
After Ye Jun left, Xu Mey was about to go upstairs when her phone rang. She picked the after glancing at the caller Id. "Hello, husband!" She said.
"Baby, pick me up from the airport at 10 o'clock. Don't be late okay?" She heard his husky voice.
"Weren't you supposed to come on Saturday?" She asked.
"Well, I didn't know that I'll miss my wife so much that I would end up finishing everything so soon." His words made Xu Mey speechless yet again.
"I'll be there. Bye." She hurriedly replied and hung up.
