Not interested in your prince

"Mei'er…"

Yu Mei looked at the woman indifferently, "Yes?" She asked, her voice coming off as somewhat rude.

Shen Lihua smiled at her, "You seem to have changed a lot from the last time I saw you," She said, looking at her face, "Come here, let mom have a good look at you…"

"I don't remember having a second mother," She coldly said before walking upstairs.

Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at her retreating back.

Before he could go after her, Shen Lihua spoke up, "Stop right there. Looking at her behavior, she must be traumatized by you. I'll go talk to her."

"Mom…"

She stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him, "Ah Xuan, you are taking her along with you on this business trip. That's final."

"But…"

"No buts," She turned around and walked upstairs.

As soon as Yu Mei entered her bedroom, she walked towards her bedside table before pulling open the drawer.

Although she had set a pin code to her room but this was Jun Zixuan's villa. If he wanted, he would find ways to enter her room.

She gently took out the white little creature from the drawer before putting it on the bed.

It was still sleeping.

She stroked the little red lotus mark on its tiny head.

Although this furry thing looked cute and harmless but she was not naive enough to buy that.

It was her first time seeing such a thing and it had mysterious origins.

She did now want anyone to find out about it…yet.

'Knock Knock.'

She tucked it under the blanket before folding her legs on the bed, "Come in."

Shen Lihua pushed open the door before walking inside, "Mei'er, you didn't seem to be in the mood to talk to me," She gently said.

Yu Mei raised an eyebrow, "Since you noticed that I don't want to talk to you, what's the meaning of coming here?"

"You are good at acting? How about I help you enter the entertainment industry?" The woman's voice was still as gentle as ever as she took a seat on the couch, folding her legs gracefully.

She stiffened, "Excuse me?" What the heck!?

"You want to pretend to be an evil woman so that I would keep you away from my son," Shen Lihua smiled, "Better luck next time, girl. Even if you were truly evil, I would have found some ways to set you straight."

She knows.

Yu Mei frowned. How could she know about their conversation? She had suggested to Jun Zixuan that she will pretend to be a bitch so that his mother would despise her.

But how could she know about that?

And why was she so stubborn about her? Neither was she beautiful nor virtuous, who would choose her to be the wife of a man Jun Zixuan who reeked of royalty and elegance from head to toe?

"You think I am not evil? All this time, I have been harming myself, slitting my wrist and all to get your son's attention. I even used you. Although he didn't love me, he never treated me wrong but I deliberately manipulated you so that you will force him to spend more time with me," This was all that the previous owner did.

And after knowing the truth, the lady might hate her but that's better.

First of all, she will realize that she misunderstood her son for someone's lies and maybe regret it.

Secondly, Yu Mei didn't want an ever-extending family tree.

One husband was difficult enough to deal with. She would be done for if she got a clingy mother-in-law.

Shen Lihua stood up before shaking her head. Even that small action of hers was elegant.

Jun Zixuan must have gotten his elegance from his mother, Yu Mei concluded in her heart.

"Girl, your confession came way too late. Do you think I don't know about your little games?" She Lihua smiled again.

Yu Mei looked at her in disbelief, "Then why…?"

"Then why did I reprimand my son? Or do you want to ask why I scolded him and refused to talk to him?" Looking at the curiosity on her face, Shen Lihua continued, "That's because he wasn't fulfilling his duties as a husband. I never forced him to marry you but since he did that, he should act as a proper husband know? He never spends quality time with you despite being married to you. Do you think I fell for your childish schemes? How naïve!"

Yu Mei could feel her head spinning at the revelation. Was the previous owner really naïve or this mother-in-law is just too smart?

"Anyways, Ah Xuan is going on a business trip…"

Yu Mei snapped out of her daze, "That's good…."

"And you are going with him," Shen Lihua added interrupting her.

Yu Mei almost fell down the bed. What the f… "I am not going with him," Looking straight at the woman's face, she added, "I am not interested in your prince so you better not tie us together again and again."

Shen Lihua frowned, "How can you say that? 99% out of 100% women go crazy at the sight of him but you are the lucky one he married…"

"OH…Sorry, I come in the 1% category," Yu Mei coldly interrupted the woman.

"If you don't like something about him, we can get it changed. How about that?" Shen Lihua twirled the loose strands of hair with her index finger.

"_"He is your son…not a room design. How can you get him changed?

"I will never be interested in him no matter what you do…" After all, there is a line between friendship and love.
