The Game Has Just Begun

"What are you saying, grandfather? I'm not lying to you all." Xu Liqing got anxious hearing Grandfather Xu's words. She knew her grandfather loved Xu Mey. She thought he was trying to save her. "I even locked her in the storage room. You can check yourself."

Sharing a meaningful look, all the elders decided to follow Xu Liqing. "She's still inside and she might be having another episode. So, be careful she can be violent." She was being cautious, she was making Mother Ye and Father Ye have a bad impression of Xu Mey.

She took the key and opened the lock but what awaited her was an empty storage room. There was not a single person inside. Xu Liqing was baffled and in her frustration, she started acting like a crazed person.

"I told you Liqing, Xu Mey's been in the bridal room for hours now." Grandfather Xu again spoke up for his eldest granddaughter.

"Believe me, everyone. She was here. I locked her here myself." Xu Liqing's face was stained with tears. Fu Lan hugged her daughter and murmured lightly, "I believe you, sweetheart."

All the elders went to the bridal room to check on Xu Mey.

Actually, Grandfather Xu and Xu Liqing were both telling the truth. Both of them spent the time with a Xu Mey. But that's different that one met with the real Xu Mey in the storage room and the other met Jun Li Na who was replacing Xu Mey for a while. Jun Li Na and Xu Mey had quite similar features but the real magic was in Sun Ju's face pack which covered her face.

When the elders walked inside the bridal room, the real Xu Mey was already dressed in her bridal wear and was getting her make-up touched. "Is everything okay, grandfather? You just left a few minutes ago." Xu Liqing was baffled once again but this time the reason was the beautiful face of Xu Mey.

Xu Liqing always thought she was the prettiest daughter because Xu Mey always wore baggy clothes to hide her figure and her hair was always in a mess in front of her face along with her big glasses, she looked like a nerd.

"Your sister said, you slapped her." Fu Lan had a grim expression not liking the way Xu Mey looked.

"But step-mother, little sister didn't even come to me. How can I possibly slap my own sister?" Xu Liqing thought herself to be the smartest one but she never took her opponent to be the cunning one. Xu Mey not only said that she didn't slap Xu Liqing, in turn, she even blamed her for not even coming to her sister on her wedding day.

Xu Mey was keeping her head lowered and her every word was spoken with so much respect that anybody could feel how much scared she was. Xu Liqing wanted to puke blood on her acting skills which surpassed even her own. She so wanted to scratch Xu Mey's face at the moment.

"Why would she blame you if you didn't hit her?" Fu Lan was convinced that a cowardly person like Xu Mey could never hit Xu Liqing but she couldn't ignore her own daughter's words. Also, it was a good way to humiliate Xu Mey in front the Ye's.

"I think step-mother, sister is really troubled because of losing the lead role in the movie. That's why in her crestfallen state she must be hallucinating. It happens to a lot of people." Xu Mey was laughing in her mind just like Li Na and Ju who stood at a corner.

It was a real challenge for them to control their laughter from escaping. 'I thought her heart was evil. I just realized even her soul is evil.' Sun Ju thought in her mind. While Li Na had her own thoughts, 'Scheming B*tchs, she's always ten steps ahead of you.'

"You're saying that my daughter is going crazy that is why she is having hallucinations?" Fu Lan was fuming with rage.

"I-I did-didn't mean that step-mother." Xu Mey's whole body trembled as a pitiful person and teardrops fell down her face.

"That's enough." Father Xu talked after listening clearly. "Xu Mey said she was in the room and even dad was with her. The wedding ceremony is about to start, so let's not create a scene here." He took all the elders with him out the door.

Xu Liqing was the last to exit and she heard Xu Mey's scary voice from behind making her halt. "The game has just begun, little princess."

After the door closed behind Xu Liqing, Sun Ju locked the door and couldn't control the laughter she was holding. "Gosh, you really are a scary person. Your acting even convinced me that you're a pitiful girl."

"Oh, by the way, where did the tears come from?" Jun Li Na asked with interest.

"To beat someone at their own game, one has to pick a trick or two. If a b*tch try to play with a fox, it has to bear the consequences." The three of them shared another fit of laughter.

"Mom, I'm telling the truth. She's really hiding deeply." Xu Liqing was trying to convince her mother that Xu Mey was scheming against them.

"Liqing, I know how much you hate her. And I also know it was a good plan to humiliate Xu Mey in front of her in-laws but you should have been careful with the plan. Your Grandfather was with her all this time. He's an albeit. Nobody would believe what you're saying." Fu Lan tried to comfort her daughter. "And you also know Xu Mey can never be scheming. The way we've changed her antidepressants all these years is enough to make her into a timid little girl she is today."

"Don't worry, Mom will make you Ye Jie's wife. Mrs. Ye will get tired of her timid nature sooner or later and then it'll be easy for you to take her place. If not, I'll just ruin her to make you Ye Jie's wife." Fu Lan stated with a resolute look assuring Xu Liqing who smiled hearing her mother's plan.

Cunning Xu Mey vs scheming b*tch...

Until next time!!!
