Chapter 55

She couldn't help but keep it a secret, even from Xiaohui, as the girl is very weak in front of her family.

If the Zheng family does know something about Meixiu, they'll confront Xiaohui, and the girl will reveal everything at once.

She didn't like that.

Meixiu looks at Xiaohui, who's still patiently waiting for her answer. Her lips formed a small smile as her eyes displayed an understanding look.

Meixiu smiled at her and shook her head, making the smaller one nod and smile widely.

"You can tell me if you're ready, ok?"

Meixiu nodded as silence took hold of them yet again.

"I'll go now."

Xiaohui said, upon feeling the awkward air between the two of them.

She looks at Meixiu for a while before she smiles and starts to walk away.

The taller girl couldn't hide her love as her mouth widens, but she decided to call Xiaohui.

"Xiaohui."

The girl looks at her back, her eyebrows furrowing at the sudden call.

"What is it?"

"Thank you."

Xiaohui's face softens at her words. Meixiu's face was filled with happiness as she beamed the brightest smile she could give to Xiaohui.

The smaller girl felt her heart beating faster, and she held a smile, the same feeling as Meixiu.

"I can always wait for your revelation."

Xiaohui said before she bowed down and entered the building.

Meixiu shakes her head before she continues her words.

"Thank you for accepting and waiting for me."

As she went and hopped on her scooter, her phone vibrated in her pocket.

She grabs it, and her face hardens as she looks at the picture the person sent her.

The person typed down the message.

"Your four months are counting..."

-

"Meixiu, why are you here?"

Weimin was shocked when he saw Meixiu at the entrance.

Meixiu felt the anger rising in her as she walked in, going straight to the gym.

"Was there something wrong?"

Weimin followed Meixiu and saw that something was wrong with the girl.

Meixiu quickly went to the punching bag and landed her fist.

Weimin already knows something's wrong with the girl, and he decided to wait until she's tired.

As Meixiu continued to punch, she couldn't help but curse as she imagined the person.

"Fuck you!"

Weimin sighs and shakes his head, looking at his side and seeing Mingzhu, who's furrowing her eyebrows.

"What's happening with her?"

"I also don't know."

Mingzhu nodded and decided to wait at Meixiu as well.

After a few more curses, Meixiu decided to stop as she pants and holds the punching bag for support.

She looked at her back and met Mingzhu and Weimin's confused faces.

She smiles before she goes towards them and gives them a hug.

"What's the matter?"

Mingzhu asks.

Meixiu smiles before she excuses herself to take a shower and gets ready to talk to the two.

"Alright, we'll be in the backyard."

Meixiu nodded and went out.

Weimin and Mingzhu look at each other and shake their heads, walking out as well to go to the backyard.

"What could that be?"

"She might be missing Mr. Song."

Weimin answered.

Mingzhu then thinks for a while before she shakes her head and smiles.

"That's impossible; Meixiu wouldn't be that angry."

"Oh, right."

Weimin nodded as he pulled a chair for Mingzhu.

The girl smiled and thanked him before she gasped.

"Maybe it has something to do with her wife."

"Maybe we don't know."

-

Xiaohui knocks on the door before opening it and bowing her head to show respect to her grandfather.

"You asked for my presence?"

"Yes."

Grandpa Zheng said sternly as he motioned for Xiaohui to sit down at the chair in front.

The girl followed his orders and waited to hear what he'd say.

"I need you to go to the bank and ask for a loan."

"Where would we use it?"

Grandpa Zheng looks at her as if she's asking a dumb question.

"Where else? Of course to the project!"

Grandpa Zheng yelled as Xiaohui looked at her lap and nodded her head.

"I'll go now."

Xiaohui said and bowed her head, standing up from the chair as she went out of the office.

She sighs and shakes her head before walking towards the elevator, constantly checking her phone to see if Meixiu has contacted her.

She sighs in disappointment before widening her eyes and looking at her reflection in the elevator door.

"Why are you waiting for her text?"

"It's not like you told her to contact you when she got home."

Xiaohui talks to herself, getting a little irritated at what she's feeling at the moment.

"Get ahold of yourself, Xiaohui."

Her phone dings, and her eyes start to twinkle as she feels a little excited.

She looks at it, her face getting replaced with a disappointed one as she sees what Lijuan texted her.

"Xiaohui, can we hang out later? You can bring Meixiu with you."

The girl read the context as she nodded her head and replied with Lijuan's text.

After she sent the text, she went to Meixiu's contact and sent her a message.

-

As Meixiu rubbed the towel on her head, her phone went out, making her stop for a bit.

She went to her bedside table and saw that Xiaohui had texted her.

She quickly put the towel away as she grabbed her phone, checking what her wife sent her.

"Meixiu, did you go home already? I will be at Ace Bank, and after this, we'll be going out with Lijuan, if that's ok with you."

Meixiu smiles before she types her reply to her wife.

"It's alright with me; please stay safe."

She tosses her phone on her bed before combing her hair and going out to where Weimin and Mingzhu are.

"So, what is it?"

Mingzhu asks as she sees a glimpse of Meixiu's figure.

Meixiu sighs before she goes to sit beside Weimin.

"Someone's going to kill Xiaohui."

"What?"

Weimin and Mingzhu spoke before looking at each other.

"Who is it? And what is their intention?"

Mingzhu asks to further understand the reason and who the person is.

Meixiu shakes her head before she leans on the chair.

"I don't know the person, but for this reason, Papa wants her to get killed."

"Eh? But Mr. Gunner loves to meet your wife."

Weimin said, starting to get confused about what was really happening.

"Well, when the contract started, Papa apparently asked someone to kill my wife after 5 years."

"And now that our fifth anniversary just happened, it's time for that person to make their move."

Weimin and Mingzhu nodded their heads as they finally understood as Meixiu further explained what was happening.

The two couldn't help but think back to where they were with the late master of the mansion.

They couldn't think of anything or anyone that he might have trusted with this matter, nor was there anyone they knew who would kill the young master's wife.

Maybe the late master asks someone new.

"If there's no one in this house, who might that be?"

Weimin asks, leaning on the table as he puts his chin in the palm of his hand.

"Yeah, it might be someone new or someone who could be hungry for money."

Weimin and Meixiu both furrowed their eyebrows at what Mingzhu said.

"What money? Are you saying Papa ordered someone with a lot of money?"

Meixiu asks, looking at Mingzhu suspiciously.

The younger girl raises both of her hands as she shakes her head.

"If you're suspecting me, it's not me, I swear."

"Then how can you say that someone was offered a lot of money?"

Weimin asks, squinting his eyes to pressure Mingzhu to tell them the truth.

"Yow, chill out."

"I only said that because maybe that someone doesn't know how to kill a person."

"It could possibly be someone like that."

Meixiu agreed, but she shakes her head before looking back at Mingzhu as she looks away, listening to what she was saying earlier.

"But then, Papa wouldn't ask someone who hasn't killed anyone because he wanted all his works to be perfect."

Meixiu pointed out, squinting her eyes as she looked at Mingzhu's nervous ones.

"I mean, yeah, you are right, but it's not me!"

Mingzhu said as she huffed before crossing her arms over her chest.

"Do you think I'll be able to do it? No, of course. It's your happiness, so why would I take it away from you?"

Mingzhu added, feeling a little hurt by what Meixiu and Weimin said earlier.

Weimin nodded and looked at Meixiu, who was about to say something when his phone went off.

He went to grab it from his pocket and sighed before looking at Meixiu.

"The Ace Bank, one of our dogs' businesses, is being held by robbers."
