"Good for you!" Bai Qing Mei squealed.

Li Xiu\'s lips were completely on the ground at Bai Qing Mei\'s jubilation.
"Good for me? Bai Qing Mei, need I remind you that if I fail, you fail too?"
"No, it simply means you were too ahead of yourself and you threw my warning to the wind. He did not do much. He should have broken your legs ao that next time you wouldn\'t gave the confidence to go to him."
"We are in this together. I did that for you."
"Hahhaa.... How hilarious. Can you hear yourself? Can you? You did that for me? Do not deceive yourself any further Li Xiu. You did that for yourself. You are a greedy butch. You felt like if you could seduce Ye Cheng, you could take your sister\'s place and be the new mistress. Let me burst your burble. Not going to happen, Li Xiu. So do jot waste your time. Ye Cheng is mine and mine alone."
"Then what about Huizhong? Or is he just your sex partner? You use him to satisfy your lust and you still want Ye Cheng?"she scoffed.
"How delusional are you? Do you think Ye Cheng would not see through you? And do you think Huizhong would... "
"Shut up! Not another lies from that gutter you call a mouth." Bai Qing Mei cursed in anger.
"Call me names all you want but it cannot change the truth and I believe you know that. You and I are not so different after all. So want makes you think you are better than I am?"
No one spoke again. Both ladies remained silent. Only the sound of their laboured breathe could be heard through the phone.
"Let me make this clear to you, I still remain the one with the money. I have what you do not have, beauty brains and brawn."
"Great then, miss beauty brains and brawn. I guess you can pull off the dirty work all on your own. Since you have the money and brains as well as beauty, you obviously do not need me. Do not call me again and... Don\'t you dare tell me what to do and what not to do."
"Li Xiu you cannot..."
"Good day Bai Qing Mei."
Beep! Beep! Beep!
"What? She dare hung up on me? That insolent... Arrghhh! Dammit!"
Bai Qing Mei rose up from her seat instantly and began to pace around as her mind went to work sharply.
\'I cannot allow her to go. She cannot be my enemy.\' Bai Qing Mei thought.
\'I need her. I cannot be seen doing the dirty work. I never have been and I won\'t. That\'s why we have money. To bend them to our will while they work for us. Besides, who does that little Li Xiu think she is? She speaks as though I need her. Fuck off... I would prove to her I do not need her.\'
She walked away and was about leaving Herr room when suddenly she stopped and held her head.
"Oh come on! I can\'t afford to have her as an enemy. She knows about Huizhong and I. She stylishly stated it and I didn\'t refute it. I bet it was her way to confirm if we are fucking each other. Dammit Qing Mei, you fell for her trap. Now she is going to think she has the upper hand. Bloody girl! I need to fix this."

~Mr Lin\'s Mansion~
While Li Jing pushed for every other thing to get her mother back, Kim Fan was busy trying to persuade Mr Lin to get back Li Jing.
"Sir, I cannot believe after all the promises you have said and laid down, you still agreed and accepted her decision," Kim Fan began.
"I am very grateful for what you have said. Thank God you said her decision. It is her life, Kim Fan and it is time you actually allow her live it."
"What are you saying? And what about the business arrangements we had?"
"And what has that got to do with anything?" Mr Lin queried.
He was not one who loved to be threatened with the likes of such. Normally, he would not bring business as a threat to get what he wants but this young lad thought it worse to actually try that.
"Kim Fan! Let me warn you. This should be the last time you actually try such a thing. My granddaughter is off limits."
"But sir, I thought…"
"You thought wrongly."
"You were the one who said that I had your support so I would really appreciate it if you could chip in some words for me. You know Li Jing would never refuse you."
"Tsk, you are such a… Like I said before, the ball was in your court. How you played it mattered a lot."
"Yes, so you should still support me as she listens to you," Kim Fan suggested once more.
"How dare you suggest that kind of manipulation to me."
"Sir…"
"Li Jing is old enough to make her decisions. She doesn\'t need you or I to make it for her. That was what I said before when I made mention that you can chase her but now I rescind those words."
"Sir, please. You shouldn\'t do this. Think about the past relationship between our families."
"I am thinking and that is why I have made my decision, Kim Fan. Under no circumstance am I to find you close to my granddaughter. She is already happily married. Please do not ruin her love home."
"Sir." He did not get to finish what he was saying when Mr Lin raised his hand to shut him up.
"You have over stayed your welcome and tell your father, if you still want to push for your threat, please do so in a hurry."
"Mr Lin."
"Good day." Turning to face his head butler, he gave his order. "Please see him out and do not allow in guest such as him in again."
"Yes sir.. Noted."
