Classmate

"Where is she?" Lin Ying asked as soon as she entered the mansion.

"Young miss is currently in her room right now madam," the butler answered.

Rushing upstairs with extreme care to avoid injury as there were shattered glasses and broken vases all over the place. On getting there, she saw Bai Ming lying on the bed with her head buried in her pillow.

"Honey? What's wrong? Mummy is here now. You can tell me anything alright," she coaxed while patting Bai Ming's brown curly elbow-length hair.

Pouncing into her embrace, Bai Ming sobbed.

"Mummy, Mingming did not get the lead role in the movie director Wei is producing. He was I was not capable," she complained in between her sobs.

"Is that why you should hurt yourself? What do you want your mummy to do if you get hurt? Stop crying. Is the Bai Jewelries not launching a new collection? Your dad wants you to be their model."

"Really? Daddy wants me to be his model?"

"Yes, honey. I want my little sunshine to be my company's model," Bai Guiren's said as he entered her room. He had just come back home from a meeting when he saw broken things around the living room.

"Daddy," Bai Ming rushed to hug her father.

"I told you that I would help you raise the entertainment world. All you have to do for daddy now is to work harder to horn your skills," Bai Guiren encouraged.

"I promise to work harder so that I will not let daddy down," she promised

"That is the spirit. Fighting," Bai Guiren jested and they laughed at his act.

*******

After crying for some time Bai Renxiang went to take her bath. She was looking messy and she had to go to the bank to cash the money in her mother's account and head for the hospital.

After bathing, Bai Renxiang wore blue jeans and a green top paired with simple black sandals and a black sling purse where she put her phone.

Bai Renxiang went to the bank with the cheque, cashed in the money and hurried to the hospital. She wanted her mother's surgery to be done quickly to prevent any mishap.

On arrival at the hospital, she met with Fu Bolin, her ex. It was there with a beautiful lady by his side. It is obvious that he liked the woman beside him.

From the way, he wrapped his hands protectively around her, to the way he talked and looked at her ever so gently. This sight broke her heart once again. She must be his fiancee.

There she was trying so hard to get over him and he was there he was living life as if nothing had happened between them.

Turning away, Bai Renxiang started walking towards her mother's ward when she heard someone calling her.

How could she not know who owned that voice? Fu Bolin had seen her walking away. He wanted to confirm if she was the one so he called her name.

"Bai Renxiang?"

Turning in the couple's direction, she saw them walking toward her. She wanted to run but she knew if she did, he would consider her a coward and think that she still loves him and Bai Renxiang did not want that.

Smiling lightly, Bai Renxiang said, "Mr Fu long time no see."

"Yeah. What are you doing here anyway? Is everything alright?" He asked.

"Yes. My mum just happens to be admitted here for a while. So I'm taking care of her," Bai Renxiang stated.

"Darling will you not introduce me to your friend?" A meek voice interrupted their discussion. It was Fu Bolin's fiancee. She wrapped her hands around Fu Bolin, laying her claim on him.

"Oh, sorry about that," Fu Bolin apologized. Looking awkwardly at Bai Renxiang who was staring at him with full eyes. He introduced them.

"Bai Renxiang this is my fiancee, Han Yuri. Yu, this is my-"

"Classmate from college," Bai Renxiang completed seeing that he did not want to acknowledge their past in front of his fiancee. So Bai Renxiang helped him out.

"Yes, my classmate in my college days," Fu Bolin played along.

"It's nice to meet you, Ms Bai," Han Yuri said with a smile.

"Yeah me too. Alright, I should go now. Goodday Mr Fu," Bai Renxiang said lazily and left the couple.

Staring at her retreating back, Fu Bolin felt bitter. She had started using his surname to address him now. With a 'Mr' included.

Shaking him lightly, Han Yuri said, "We should get going now. Mum will be worried about us if we stay out too long."

Nodding his head, he left the hospital with his fiancee.

'Since she has started it why must I not play along? She had already forgotten about what we shared so easily'. Why does he even care? For him, Bai Renxiang was not the pure and innocent girl he fell in love with in college. She is just a gold digger who was after money from the beginning and she deceived him.

But all that is in the past now. Now he had Han Yuri. She is kind, caring and pure within and without. He would cherish what he had now. He will focus his attention on this lady beside him. The lady that cared exceptionally for him.

If only Fu Bolin had known that he had lost a real gem. Well, that is how fate is.

'We were not meant for each other after all,' Fu Bolin thought.
