Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 193 - Messed Up Life

For the next few days, Xu Mey visited her father in the hospital daily since he didn't allow her to inform anyone about his condition. He didn't want Fu Lan or Xu Liqing to know about the fact that he took the bullet for Xu Mey.
One day after her visit to Xu Cheng, she came across Lin Shen in the hospital. She followed him to his office and took a seat languidly.
"How's your dad?" Lin Shen asked.
"Hmm... He's doing better now." She replied. "Shen-Ge, where is Ju-Ju? It seems like I haven't seen her in forever." Xu Mey inquired about Lin Shen's fiance, Sun Ju.
"She's in Paris. But she'll be back in a few days." Lin Shen answered her question looking at her face as she played with her long ponytail. After observing her face for a while, Lin Shen asked, "What are you planning on doing?"
"Huh?" Xu Mey lifted her eyes to look at him. "What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about Xu Liqing and Fu Lan."
"Oh!" Xu Mey nodded in understanding and said, "Shen-Ge, as the Chinese proverb says, 'Life is an echo, what you send out comes back.' So, isn't it given that I'll treat them according to what they deserve."
"You have thought of a plan?" Lin Shen questioned.
"Nope!" Xu Mey replied honestly making Lin Shen raise his brows. He really thought that she'd have already come up with a perfect plan. "But I know who I want to attack first."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, to hunt the mother, I'll make her daughter the prey. Because the more Xu Liqing will be in pain, the more our Ms. Fu Lan will be tortured. I'm just gonna wait for the perfect time and then I'll strike." Seeing the way Xu Mey was confident, Lin Shen felt at ease.
He stood up and walked up to her. Patting her head, he said, "I don't care how you take care of everything but just let me know if you need any help."
"Shen-Ge should just focus on healing people, leave the hurting part to me." Xu Mey beamed.
Lin Shen shook his head lightly saying, "Just because my profession doesn't allow me to hurt someone doesn't mean I'll allow other people to hurt our Xiao Mey. You just tell me, okay?"
Xu Mey nodded. She stayed with Lin Shen for a long time to chat.
After leaving the hospital, Xu Mey went to her office where unexpectedly, Ye Jun was waiting for her.
"Hey, sis!" Ye Jun excitedly greeted Xu Mey and she couldn't help but roll her eyes at his antics.
"What are you doing here?" Hearing Xu Mey's question, Ye Jun's smile dropped.
"How mean of you, sis? Obviously, I came to see you because I missed you. I couldn't see you in the past few days then bro told me that your dad was in the hospital. So, I came myself." Ye Jun related the whole thing in a single breath.
"Are you sure, you missed me and that's why you came here?" Xu Mey raised her brows as she wrapped her arms around in front of her chest in an intimidating manner.
"You're smart." Ye Jun grumbled and held her wrist, making her take a seat beside him. He pulled out an envelope from his jacket and extended it towards Xu Mey. Xu Mey suspiciously looked at the envelope.
"What's in this?" She questioned.
"Open it, you'll know." Ye Jun's face lost his earlier playfulness as he replied in a serious manner to her.
Xu Mey curiously opened the envelope to find multiple old photos. Xu Mey abruptly raised her head and met Ye Jun's gaze. "That's bro's real father, right?" Ye Jun pointed at the teen boy in the picture. "You don't have to hide it from me. He looks like an exact replica of bro. So, it's a given that he's bro's father."
Xu Mey knew she couldn't hide. So, she nodded. Zhu Chen wasn't the only one in the old pictures. He Susu and Zhou Ning were also in those photos that Ye Jun passed to her. "How did you find these?" Xu Mey asked curiously.
"A few days ago, I asked dad about mom's school and early life. Before I only knew that mom's family was from a common background. That day, dad also told me that she studied in a military school through the help of her best friend." Ye Jun looked at the young version of his mother in the photo and went on, "So, I tried to find out about her school days. That's how I came across these."
Xu Mey reclined back in the couch and heaved a long and tired sigh. There were so many things happening around her that she was confused about which one she should focus on.
At one side, she had to take care of her psychotic step-sister and step-mother. She also had to focus on mending her relationship with her dad. On the other side, she had to find the mystery behind Ye Jie's real parents and fake ones.
She felt a headache coming up. She pinched her brows to ease the pain a bit but it only intensified with her messed up thoughts.
"Jun, leave the pictures with me and go."
"Huh? Aiyo! Sis, are you kicking me out?" Ye Jun acted pitifully but Xu Mey wasn't in the right state of mind to hang around with him.
"Jun, listen up! I will give you all the answers when I have them all myself. For now, I think you should be thinking about how you're gonna come clean to Ah-Jie about the fact that you already know about him not being your brother." Ye Jun stiffened at the reminder.
He was really scared of that certain topic. He had a bad premonition that their relationship as brothers might change if he ever voiced out to Ye Jie that he knew all along about Ye Jie not being his brother.
Since Xu Mey had dampened his mood entirely, he could only get up to leave. Xu Mey called her assistant, Qin Hao inside the office and asked, "What about the things, I told you to investigate?"
"President Xu, Ms. Xu Liqing seems to be scared of something lately as she's not leaving her house at any cost." Hearing Qin Hao's report, Xu Mey sneered. "But I have a hunch of where she'll be going next week."
"Even if it's just a hunch, tell me." Xu Mey ordered.
"Mr. Fu Shuang's birthday party is next week and as his only cousin, I believe that Ms. Xu Liqing will be there." Qin Hao courteously stood at the side in silence after speaking his piece until Xu Mey waved him off.
Xu Mey stood up from the couch and walked to her mahogany table. She pulled open the drawer and picked up a gold invitation in her hand.
On the invitation in silver was written:
'We invite you to share your blessing with the young master Shuang on the joyous day of his birth.'
At the rightmost corner, in Fu Shuang's own handwriting was written: 'I hope President Xu allows me to meet her excellent husband whom I can't dare to even match up to.'
Xu Mey paced up to the glass wall and smirked, "I'll show you a lot more than just my husband, master Shuang."
