CHAPTER 521
"Hey baby calm down," Hao Huizhong said calmly at her. "I love you."
"I love you too baby. I am not angry. Like she saved me the stress of going after her and doing things. This is the perfect surreal punishment."
"Okay then. Kudos. Thank the stars it was in our favour this time around."
Suddenly an idea popped into her head. "Wait, let me call her and see her reaction. This should be fun."
RING! RING!
Just then Li Xiu and her mother were discussing further plans and some ways to deviate the whole issue from their father when her phone began to ring.
As though they both knew, the two of them turned their heads towards the phone. However, Li Xiu was closer and when she peered at her phone, she peeled her gaze away to look at her mother.
"Speak of the devil."
"She is the one?"
"Yes."
"Good, pick up. It is time you prove to that wench that you are not afraid of her."
"Yes, mother." Answering the call Li Xiu toned down her voice and spoke, "Yes?"
"Li Xiu! What is the meaning of the nonsense I am seeing on the news?"
"Oh, is that the good morning I get?"
"And what is good about the morning?" Bai Qing Mei snapped. "Huh? How can you being on the news be good when t was supposed to be LI Jing?"
"Wow and look at who is not on the news taking the headache for me."
"Stop being sarcastic, this is serious," Bai Qing Mei stated sharply.
"Oh, and you are not being a pain in the ass rude jerk? Come, let me tell you, I am the one who has her half-nude pictures with useless captions streaming around social media in the country and God knows where else, not you. It is either you choose to be supportive of me or you just buzz off."
"Supportive of you and how do you expect me to do that? When with your ruined reputation, I should have anything to do with you again."
"Oh, this is how you actually make your friends? For them to be your scapegoat and guinea pig, right?"
"I never said that. If I did, would I be calling you?"
"You might as well have. Let me tell you this, WBai Qing Mei, do you think that in this life, I would choose to fuck up like that? Shouldn't this tell you that it was set up? For all I know, just you and Hao Huizhong knew the entire details of the plan, the others only knew their parts."
"Wait, wait, wait! Hold it right there, Li Xiu. What are you trying to insinuate?"
"The same nonsense you are trying to insinuate. I should be telling you that. How dare you think that I would deliberately ruin the plan just to have myself on the news."
"Well, for all I know that may well be the reason."
"You are daft you know, Bai Qing Mei."
"Insult me one more time and I would not…."
"Do what? Set me up like you did yesterday?" Li Xiu retaliated. She had enough. She was not going to pamper them.
"I never set you up, bitch!"
"Now I am a bitch. You see how the true colours of a human being surface just from one act. If I am a bitch, what would that make you? A worse bitch, after all, I am not the one sleeping with my ex's best friend. I bet you were cheating on him then."

"What? You can't say anything now can you?" Li Xiu taunted.
She knew she hit Bai Qing Mei at where it hurt but she did not care one bit about her. How dare her first think she could lay claim on Ye Cheng when she was being screwed by another man.
"Nothing to say for yourself now, Bai Qing mei? What a sorry bitch you are."
"Li Xiu, you would mind your tongue lest I deal with you more than what this person did to your image."
"My image is already gone, what more can you do?"
"Take your freedom away. Do not dare me," Bai Qing Mei threatened.
"Ohhh… I see, I just stepped on the tail of the Lioness. You may be a lioness but you are no match for the Lion herself."
"Li Xiu, be warned. Now since you feel I was the one who did that to you then I believe you are truly daft? What would I get from setting you up? Isn't Li Jing my problem?"
"For me wanting the man that you want."
"I am done and over with him. Take Ye Cheng for all I care. I did not mean you harm. My greater enemy was Li Jing. Besides you think I would be stupid enough to ruin the plan when it was supposed to be the epic fail and fall for Li Jing?"
"I don't know, you tell me." She folded her other arm, underneath the one holding her phone. "Speak and give me a reason to believe you were not involved in ruining this plan."
"How do you expect me to? I went home after the information you gave seeing that everything would be finalized and went to sleep so I can wake up for the big news only to wake up and see you, Li Xiu on the news."
"Fine. I would believe you this time."
"This time?" Bai Qing Mei and Dinag Jiaying chorused at the same time.
"Hey, I did not do any shit. You have got to believe me. Jeez, why am I not surprised. You are only looking for whom to put the blame on because you cannot seem to place it and then Huizhong and I seem to be your target."
"Wow, don't I just love your thinking?" The more she spoke, the more Bia Qing Mei was getting angry,
Both ladies were tired of each other but they needed the other very much.
