After entering the hotel one after the other, Xu Mey went up to the reception to inquire about the room no. "Good evening, miss! Welcome to the Pearl Hotel! How may I help you?" The receptionist asked looking at the gorgeous lady before her.

  "Um…… Can you tell me the room no of Mr. Lu Ge?" Xu Mey smiled pleasantly.

  "I’m really sorry, miss! But the hotel policy doesn’t allow us to share our customers’ information. It’s against the rules." The receptionist spoke courteously.

  "How about if I’m the one asking?" The receptionist looked past Xu Mey and saw a stern looking Li Qiao coming.

  "Sir! Let me check it," the receptionist took a 180-degree turn instantly and checked the computer records. She couldn’t possibly deny anything to the person before him. He was from the family which owned this hotel. How could she have the guts to mess with the boss?

  "Qiao-Ge!" Xu Mey beamed before hugging him. Li Qiao’s features turned soft instantly.

  "Why are you wearing so little? The night breeze is really cold. You might catch a cold at this rate." Li Qiao was reprimanding her but he wasn’t angry at all. Instead, his words were showing his love and care for her. Xu Mey just listened and scratched the back of her head sheepishly. Li Qiao waved his hand and his assistant went running away to get a shawl for Xu Mey.

  "Sir, he’s staying in room no 1109." They heard the receptionist’s voice and nodded.

  "Xiao Mey, I’m in the conference room. If you need anything let me know. Also, I’ll look for you after I’m done." His assistant came back with a shawl and Li Qiao wrapped it around Xu Mey’s shoulders. He turned to leave when suddenly he turned his body and said, "Oh, and tell your dear husband that he doesn’t have to remind me a million times that I have to drop you home."

  Xu Mey blushed slightly and grinned. "Qiao-Ge, I’ll see you later. And even if I tell Ah-Jie, he won’t listen." Li Qiao didn’t say anything and turned back.

  She turned around and saw Fu Shuang and Jun Li Na leaning against a pillar while staring at her. "What are you guys wasting the time around for?" Both Fu Shuang and Jun Li Na had the urge to tell her that she was the one who was wasting time in either chit-chat or making them eat vinegar.

  After taking the elevator to the 11th floor, Xu Mey looked at both of them and asked, "So, Master Shuang what’s your brilliant plan?"

  "First, we need to make sure that Xu Liqing is inside with Lu Ge." Fu Shuang started.

  "And after confirming?" Jun Li Na asked.

  "Then we’ll disclose this adultery before the whole world."

  "Have you lost your mind? How is this punishment enough? It’s not even fun at all." Xu Mey remarked with disdain.

  Fu Shuang knocked on Xu Mey’s head as if they were still the same kids who played around all the time. It had been decades since the three of them sneaked around like this together. "We’re doing this to push her to an edge." Fu Shuang answered.

  "Humph! I already pushed her there. It didn’t change many things." Xu Mey spoke irritatingly as she remembered the way how Xu Liqing got out of the drug involvement.

  "That was because you left a loophole. You only proved she was there for one night and my aunt exploited that loophole to make Xu Liqing clear of all the charges and allegations." Xu Mey realized that he was speaking the truth, just because of her simple ignorance, Fu Lan managed to clear up everything.

  "This time we’re gonna attack where it hurts the most. Having an affair with your own sister’s husband is not something that our society takes lightly. She’ll be scorned in the society."

  "And then what?" Xu Mey asked in a bored manner.

  "Then? I’ll show you how I’ll take my revenge for lying and acting so unscrupulously. How dare she try to kill someone?" Xu Mey naturally had no interest in what he did or would do? She only wanted to make Xu Liqing miserable.

  "But how are we going to check whether she’s inside or not?" Jun Li Na inquired from both of them.

  "Leave it to me." Xu Mey said and texted Li Qiao. Within a few minutes, she had the master key in her hand. "So, who’s going inside?" Xu Mey looked at both of the other people. In the end, Xu Mey spoke, "Our very own Li Na will be joining the fun ladies and gentleman give a big round of applause for encouragement."

  Jun Li Na scowled while Fu Shuang chuckled at Xu Mey’s dramatic act. She passed the key to Jun Li Na and pushed her towards the door.

  Jun Li Na slowly with her trembling hands opened the door and walked inside the room silently. After just a minute, she came running back with a hand over her mouth and tears pooling in her eyes.

  "I think we have our answer." Xu Mey said staring at Jun Li Na’s crying face. Fu Shuang was quite surprised to see Xu Mey’s indifferent expression but he figured that she must have been through enough to toughen her up.

  He hugged Jun Li Na and tried to calm her while Xu Mey made a call to the news reporters. But before she could speak, Jun Li Na snatched the phone away from her. Xu Mey frowned.

  "No, let’s not do it. I don’t want to ruin his reputation like this." Xu Mey immediately lost her languid expression and rage burned in her eyes.

  "How can you even love someone like him? He’s a jerk. And you deserve so much better. I don’t give a damn about his reputation." Xu Mey wasn’t in the mood to listen to anything.

  "My reputation is associated with his now, Mey. I’m his wife!" Xu Mey’s body stiffened.
