Chapter 71

To say, Suyin is disappointed with Meixiu's answer, but what her grandmother told her was to be patient with Meixiu.

The only person who could help them be the most powerful person in Jiangqiao is Meixiu.

They have been replaced by someone unknown, and no one knows if they really live in Jiangqiao.

The person who acquired the Sapphire Group, the caring "husband," and the suspected hidden family member of the Ren Family.

And that person happens to be Meixiu herself.

"What did Ms. Song say?"

Suyin puts down the phone and looks behind her, seeing the old lady with an expected look and a small smile painted on her lips.

The younger lady sighs and sits down opposite her grandmother, putting her phone down on the coffee table.

"She wouldn't be able to come with me; she's not home."

"What a shame; you wouldn't be able to get closer to her."

Suyin leans her back on the couch, her chest heaving a little as she feels a little stress about not having to create more time to be closer with Meixiu.

"That's alright, there's still more time—are you alright?"

Suyin held her mouth as she stood up quickly; the words leaving her grandmother's mouth stopped as she looked at her granddaughter worriedly.

Suyin puts down her hand, grabbing the juice on the table, before nodding her head, her lips smiling a little.

"I'm alright. I'm just feeling a bit sick lately."

"Go to the hospital for now; I'll ask Mr. Wu to do your errands."

"What? Grandma, I can handle myself."

Suyin stands up from the couch, her eyes looking down at the older woman in front of her as she looks behind and sees their trusted butler approaching.

"Young Mistress, the old lady is worried about you, so I suggest you do as she said."

Mr. Wu bows down as he speaks towards Suyin. The younger woman shakes her head, her mouth forming a small smile at the old man in front of her.

"I can handle myself, Mr. Wu."

Her eyes look towards the older woman still seated on the couch, the tea cup in front of her mouth.

"I'll get going, Grandma; you can rest assured that I'm alright."

Suyin bows down before she walks away from the two elders, not forgetting her phone and purse.

Mr. Wu's eyes fall onto her fading figure as he looks at Suyin worriedly, concerned at what's happening to the young mistress.

"Suyin is a strong woman; I'm sure she'll be able to get there safe."

Mr. Wu looked at Grandma Jia and helped the older lady stand up.

"Older sister Meixiu! The one I was talking about is here!"

Meixiu puts the last plate on the dish rack and shrugs her hands to remove the excess water. Her eyes went towards the entrance of the house, and she saw Ning with a big smile on her face.

"Who?"

"The beautiful lady that helps this town!"

The first bedroom door opened, and it revealed Xiaohui, yawning a little as she felt a little groggy because she had been napping for the past hour.

Her eyes quickly went towards the two that were talking a little too loudly for her liking.

"Ning, I'll go out later; let me take a shower first."

"Come on! She's only here for a few minutes! And she's so kind to spare me a few minutes so I can introduce you."

Ning snatches the towel that Meixiu was using to dry her hands completely. She throws it on the makeshift counter and grabs the older woman's hand, dragging her away from the house.

Xiaohui furrows her eyebrows at the mysterious person that Ning wanted to introduce to Meixiu, so she fixes her hair a bit and follows the two.

As soon as she went to the open field, her eyes quickly caught on the two people who didn't know what a personal space is.

Her eyebrows furrowed further, looking between Meixiu and Suyin as the two talked as if they never saw each other.

"They never saw each other."

Xiaohui shrieked at the sudden voice behind her and held her chest. Looking back, she saw Tingfeng with a smile on his face.

"Hey, why are you snooping there? Let's go out since your wife is busy with someone else."

Tingfeng offers his hands, giving Xiaohui an expected look, but the girl glares at her and crosses her arms over her chest.

"Please, I feel too lazy to go out."

"Why? Were the happenings yesterday night that tiring?"

The smile on the man's face faded quickly, his hands falling beside him as they quickly balled into a fist.

Xiaohui leans on the post lamp, her mind wandering towards the events that happened last night between Meixiu and her.

Her cheeks quickly got painted with a blush, remembering how close they were when they both drifted to their dreamland.

"You don't need to know anything."

Xiaohui replied, not noticing how red Tingfeng's face is as the man stops himself from exploding.

"Do you like Meixiu?"

The question stops Xiaohui in her tracks. She looks down on the ground, then back to where Suyin and Meixiu are both happily talking with each other.

"It's none of your business."

"Xiaohui, I've been waiting for you to notice me; why can't you even look at me?"

"I've known you for years, Tingfeng; I don't want to get stuck with you."

Xiaohui knew Tingfeng very well, and if they were together, she knew she wouldn't be able to grow.

Tingfeng is known as a womanizer, and every time a woman answers him, he tends to be a bit controlling of how the woman acts, dresses, and does.

And that's not what Xiaohui wants.

Sure, she can love Tingfeng, but she feels like it's not going to be the kind of love that Tingfeng wants.

"Are you even sure that Meixiu would always pay attention to you?"

Tingfeng asks, stepping a little closer to Xiaohui as he glances towards where Meixiu and Suyin are.

"Look at them; they look like there's something between them."

He pointed it out. Xiaohui shakes her head and looks behind her, glaring at Tingfeng in the process.

"Stop with your nonsense! They're only friends."

And with that, Xiaohui left the guy behind. Tingfeng couldn't help but chuckle and look at her fading figure, nodding to himself.

"You've fallen for her trap; she might as well just kill you."

-

"Ms. Jia, do you know that Older Sister Meixiu is such a great wife to my cousin? I envy Older Sister Xiaohui."

Ning spoke, looking away as she dreamed of having someone as caring as Meixiu. The information caught Suyin's attention, and she looked towards Meixiu.

"I've noticed that when we hang out."

"Really? When will we get our turn?"

Suyin and Ning are close with each other, and at times, Suyin would tell the younger girl things about her life.

And that also includes her liking for Meixiu.

She couldn't even believe herself seeing Meixiu in the town, with Ning dragging her towards her as if they were close.

And although she shouldn't be jealous, she couldn't help but feel it.

Meixiu laughs at what Ning said, shaking her head before she ruffles the younger girl's hair.

"You're still young, Ning; enjoy your life first."

"I want to enjoy it with someone and share all the fun things."

Ning smiles widely, thinking of a future with someone she'll love forever and spend the rest of her life with.

"You'll be able to find them soon."

Meixiu looks towards Suyin, causing the latter to gasp and quickly look around as she got caught staring at the taller woman.
