Chapter 167 - She Does That



Xu Mey cracked her knuckles, and replied, "She’s your brother’s cousin sister."

"And what do you have against her?" She probed.

Xu Mey shrugged her shoulders indifferently. She was clenching her fists making her knuckles turn white. "I have nothing against her."

"Oh, really?" Azalea wasn’t convinced even for a minute. "It does seem like you have something against her," she remarked. "But I’ll believe you if you open that door for her." Azalea gave a suggestion. She was scrutinizing Xu Mey’s eloquence.

After all, she was the daughter of a psychiatrist and a heart surgeon, she kenned her means to study a person. And from Xu Mey’s actions, she could discern that the girl outside the door was profoundly despised by Xu Mey.

"She must be gone by now," Xu Mey sought to evade the situation, but how could Azalea let that happen?

"I can guarantee you that she’s still waiting outside the door."

Xu Mey pinched her brows and heaved a long sigh before yanking the door open. True to Azalea’s speculation, Zhou Qi was indeed standing outside the door.

"Why don’t you come inside?" Zhou Qi was looking at Xu Mey, but the invite came from the person behind Xu Mey.

Zhou Qi nodded and was intending on entering, but Xu Mey didn’t give her the way to pass which put her in an awkward position. Azalea had the urge to laugh at Xu Mey’s childish act of blocking the way.

She cleared her throat to shake off her laugh, and said, "Sis, aren’t you gonna let her pass?"

Xu Mey turned sideways to give way to Zhou Qi. "Thank you!" Xu Mey heard from Zhou Qi but didn’t reply. She was still scowling but she didn’t want to do or say anything before Azalea.

Xu Mey still wanted Azalea to have a good impression of her. But she knew that seeing Zhou Qi for long will make her furious. Therefore, she chose to say, "I’ll brew some tea for our guest." With that, she disregarded Zhou Qi’s presence and went straight to the kitchen.

"Why don’t you take a seat?" Azalea offered politely to Zhou Qi who was standing awkwardly at the side. "Hi! I’m Azalea. And you are?" Azalea introduced herself.

"I’m Zhou Qi," she answered with the same politeness.

"I heard that you’re Jie-Ge’s cousin sister," Azalea mentioned breaking the awkward silence.

Zhou Qi smiled faintly, and replied, "Yes..."

"Have you been really close to him?" She inquired.

"Not really... My parents died when I was 10 and Auntie Ning brought me with her... But I studied abroad for most of the years, so, I’m didn’t get a chance to be close to him." Zhou Qi explained.

Azalea was planning on asking about the conflict between her and Xu Mey, but a phone’s ringtone interrupted her. Xu Mey’s cell phone which was placed on the table was ringing. "Sis, your phone is ringing!" Azalea cried out for Xu Mey’s attention.

"Just pick it up and check who is it," Xu Mey’s voice came from the kitchen.

Azalea picked the phone and touched the screen to attend the call on speaker, "Hello!"

"Hello! Isn’t this Xiao Mey’s phone?" The voice transmitting from the other side asked. Hearing the voice, Zhou Qi was startled for a moment.

"This surely is her phone. And who are you?" Azalea asked.

"If this is her phone then I should be asking, who are you?" The answer came within a minute.

"You’re the one who called. So, as a common courtesy, you should be telling me who are you?" Azalea argued like a stubborn child. "Oh, did I mention that your voice is really familiar?"

"Yes, you did." The answer made Azalea frown.

"When did I mention it?"

"Just now." He replied making her roll her eyes. "Now, be a good girl and give the phone to Xiao Mey."

"Well, now I don’t want to pass the phone to her. What are you gonna do about it?" Azalea challenged him. When she didn’t hear a reply, she continued, "By the way, I was serious when I said that your voice is familiar. You sound like my ice-cream brother." She laughed at the memory.

"Azalea? Is that you?"Azalea sat straight when she heard her own name from the other end. "What the hell are you doing with Xiao Mey? Do you even have any idea that He Jian is going crazy looking all over for you?"

"Wang-Ge? Wow! What a surprise! It really is you!" Azalea wanted to bury herself 6 feet under the ground. Why did she mess with Wu Wang? He’ll definitely tell Jian-Ge now. Azalea shook her head as she felt her doom coming.

"Give the phone to me!" Xu Mey came as a savior for Azalea at that exact moment. And Azalea obediently passed the phone to her. Xu Mey placed the teacup in front of Zhou Qi and walked to a side for the call. "Hey, Wang-Ge!"

"Mey-Mey, why’s Azalea with you? She hasn’t been to home for 2 years now. You have no idea how much everyone is worried about her." Wu Wang was really furious.

"Aiyo! Would you calm down for a minute? And tell me why you called?" Xu Mey tried to divert his attention.

"I wanted to tell you that I’m coming next week." He replied clearly still in a bad mood.

"Okay... When you’ll come, I’ll explain everything to you myself. For now, don’t mention Azalea to Jian-Ge. Can you do that?"

Wu Wang stayed quiet for a moment and grumbled, "Fine."

Meanwhile, Azalea gave an easygoing laugh to lighten the mood and said, "Please, have your tea!"

Zhou Qi’s hand was trembling from the moment she heard Wu Wang’s voice. The last she heard his voice was at the amusement park and it’s been weeks. The reason she came to Xu Mey was Wu Wang. She wanted to hear his voice.

It was easy to pass the days without seeing him for years but now that she had seen him again at the amusement park, she couldn’t stop herself from wanting to catch a glimpse of him. She had expected Xu Mey’s hostile behavior but she still wanted to try. She just needed to hear his voice and she did. Her motive was accomplished.

She tried to control her tremble and picked up the cup of tea elegantly. The tea had a gorgeous deep pink hue which looked beautiful. But when she took a sip, she couldn’t help but scrunch up her face. It was too sour for her liking.

Azalea craned her neck to look at the tea color and realized that it was roselle tea. What she knew about roselle tea was that it was made by hibiscus flowers and it could be served hot or as iced tea. Also, in the hot tea, you need to add honey and lime or other stuff to enhance its taste.

From the look on Zhou Qi’s face, she could discern that Xu Mey didn’t add honey in the tea but she definitely added lime more than it was necessary. But she had never expected that Xu Mey would be so childish to take vengeance through sour tea?

Like, who does that?

She turned her face to look at Xu Mey and answered her own question, ’She does that.’
