Chapter 07
Ling mei watched in daze as the handsome Gu mohan, she felt He was familiar but she was sure she hadn't met him before
"Who's that?" She asked
"President Gu the one you're supposed to be meeting on monday
"He's the one?" Meimei was surprised
"You don't even know?" Mira shook her head
"President Gu, it's an honor to have you as a guest" Mr Johnson and his wife who was the celebrant cane forward to receive Gu mohan
"Its nothing, happy birthday madam Johnson" Gu mohan greeted His gaze trailing meimei the whole time
After greeting the couple he heads towards Ling Mei's direction..
"President Ling" Gu mohan took initiative to greet meimei
"President GU, it's such an honor to meet you" ling mei replied not sure what he was up to by greeting her publicly
"He knows her?" Wanwan murmured looking angry
Gu mohan went to take a sit after greeting
But His initiative made people to start paying attention to her
The Ling family and wanwab approached her
"Ling mei!" Mr ling called out loud and everyone turned to look at them
"Mr ling long time no see" Ling Mei smiled
"Is that how you greet your father?" Mr Ling was angry
As soon as he spoke people began to whisper softly about what happen years ago
This wasn't surprising, they were long used to the scandals of the wealthy families
"Father? Ling Mei? The one he disowned years ago" someone asked and people nodded
"So you are my father? Why didn't I remember?You obviously disowned me five years ago. Everyone is a witness , am I right?" Meimei chuckled
"That was because I wanted to discipline you" Mr Ling yelled in anger
"If that was what is called discipline then we shouldn't be having this conversation okay? You and I are just strangers" Meimei said coldly
"Meimei! Dad was angry then don't take it to heart" wan wan said and meimei turned to look at her
"Don't act like we're close besides you just called him dad, he's your father not mine" Meimei said looking at the family mockingly
Yeqin on the other hand was rolled up by her domineering action and faint feelings were shown on his face
Why didn't he notice she was this beautiful then
"Tsk tsk.....who is she pretending for?" Mira suddenly said people tacitly agreed with her
It was obvious Qiao wan was acting but the Ling couple didn't notice
"This is a joyous occasion don't disrupt it with conflicts" Mr Johnson said coming in to mediate as he winked at Ling mei
After that they disperse and the banquet continued as usual
Qiao wan on the other hand went to the bathroom and made a call
"Do you still have the video? Good I need it now" she said hanging up
She was going to release the video of that night between ling mei and a stranger five years ago and humiliate her
"What?" Ling mei asked the overly active Mira
"She's already making her move" Mira said
"Told you? When people are angry they get impulsive and make mistakes" she smiled looking at wanwan walking out of the toilet direction with a confident smile
It was obvious she went to plan something
"What's she up to?" Ling mei asked the person following wanwan's move
"She wants to expose the video from five years ago" the lady replied
"Planning to humiliate me? Ha! Let's see if I give her that chance, expose the evidence of her and yeqian cheating instead"
"What happened?" Mohan asked
"Qiao wan is trying to scheme against miss Meimei" Lucas said
"What about meimei?" He asked with a lazy smile
"She is prepared with countermeasures" Lucas said
"Good make sure nothing goes wrong"
.
"Yes sir"
The host of the party was showing the slideshow of Mrs Johnson from her young days when the screen suddenly changed and screams and whispers rang out
Qiao wan smiled feeling confident
'I win once again she said thinking her plans worked out,
She was seated at the corner, and had a gloating expression.
She felt bad when she saw Miemie interact with Gu mohan now she's going to watch her being embarrassed and lashed at.
While still in thoughts wanwan discovered that people were giving her strange looks and pointing at her
She turned over and looked at the screen, at the sight her face paled in shock.
Mr and Mrs Ling were shocked as well
On the screen were intimate videos of wanwan and yeqian who was meimei's finance dated back to five years ago
To the outside world wanwan and yeqian got together after meimei's scandal
But on the video was CCTV surveillance with time and date, which shows they were together before the scandal....
Jiang yeqian was also shocked, he turned to look at wanwan who was standing far from him
Mr and Mrs Ling turned to give them questioning looks .
"You were together with her while being engaged with meimei?" Mrs ling's voice shook as she question them
The audience watched in disdained and criticized them
Ling Mei's lips curled up and she smiled as she watched them.
"At least this will keep them busy for a couple of days" Meimei said
"But aren't you afraid they'd come look for you after this and abandon her?" Mira couldn't help but ask.
"When people are desperate for something they go extreme," Meimei said casually before leaving during the commotion.
She was sure Wanwan wouldn't let them abandon her.
She has some tricks up her sleeves
Gu mohan said , watching with a smile as meimei left the party.
"As expected of the woman I laid my eyes on" he mumbled sipping his wine
"Blow up the matters for a few days and let the Ling's have something to fight with" he ordered Lucas.
Wanwan on the other hand lowered her head thinking of ways to salvage the situation
She looked at the corner of her eyes and discovered that meimei was nowhere to be found
"That slüt, I really underestimated her" she gritted her teeth in anger
"We were in love and meimei, she was just in it because of the agreement between the two families, we wanted to tell you back then but because of meimei's scandal we just kept quiet" wanwan lied taking a glance at yeqian urging him to support him
"Yes auntie, it was my fault for not being straightforward" yeqian said stepping forward like a gentle man
The ling couples expression eased, they subconsciously and tacitly agreed to believe her not sparing a thought for their daughter.
Just like that the banquet ended everyone leaving with their thoughts
But that affected the Ling corporation and caused its stocks to drop
GB am!
Gback!!
Wanwan thwarted and broke things in her room in anger
Thinking of how her plan went out of hand, she was greatly annoyed
"Since she's playing with me I'd take it to the extreme" she yelled madly
It didn't take her much to find out that it was meimei's doing that caused her plan to backfire
Picking up her phone she called her lackey
"I want you to do something for me"
"Follow Ling mei and get close to her, I want to know every of her moves in China" she said coldly and the person on the phone shuddered
With that she threw her phone aside.
Yeqian as well was dealing with his family
"What were you thinking?" Mrs Jiang yelled angrily at her son
"I like wanwan not meimei" yeqian said
"You like her? Or do you like that she sleeps with you? And meimei doesn't" Mrs Jiang slapping his face
She knows very well the kind of son she has and wouldn't buy his excuse as love
"Well I moved to someone who was ready" he snorted
"Oh really then look at what not being able go control your lower body caused" Mr Jiang shouted in anger
"Not only is ling's family stocks going down ours too just because of your recklessness" he continued
"Am sorry" yeqian apologized
"It's not going to solve anything the only thing you can do is break up with that girl" Mrs Jiang dropped the bomb
Wanwan who had calmed down and wanted to come and settle the jiang family stopped her tracks as soon as she heard her words
"Break up? Ah she worked so hard only to break up? Not happening"
She turned back, waiting for Yeqian to come meet her.
