Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Chapter 554 the next talk



Ni Wenli was scared by Yue Ling's sharp gaze. She was unable to look at the woman in the eyes, so she avert her gaze away to look at the wall behind Yue Ling.

She tells herself to get it together as right now was not the time to be scared. Even if Yue Ling is General Ji's granddaughter, she and Ning Mei were friends with Ji Chu Hua. From what she knows, Ji Chu Hua is doted and spoiled by the old man. If they get into trouble, they'll just as Ji Chu Hua to help them.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she looks back at Yue Ling. Her chest stuck out and she raise her chin higher as if she were looking down on Yue Ling, who is still taller than her.

"Hmmf. Ning Mei has always had a good heart. How dare you slander with your disgusting lies."

Her left-hand raise, and she points at Yue Ling with eyes full of daggers. She made sure her expression was one that can make anyone who sees tremble with fear.

"We can sue you for false accusation!"

Yue Ling did not once show any change in her expression. She was as calm and collect as always. She felt Ni Wenli's posture and attitude at this moment looked like a crazy circus monkey who is on an rampage for bananas.

However, as she thought this, her expression soon changed when she heard the woman's last sentence.

She arch a brow in amusement and held back the urge to laugh in the woman's face.

"You can sue me?"

Hearing her tone full of mocking, Ni Wenli was dumbfounded. She was trying to threaten Yue Ling, but instead, she (Yue Ling) took her (Ni Wenli) threat as some kind of joke.

She clench her fists tightly and tells herself to calm down again. Knowing that Ning Mei is alright to stand on her own, Ni Wenli moves her hand and fold her arms over her chest.

"That's right. You defamed Ning Mei with your insulting words. Let me tell you, one word from me and your life in Imperial is over."

Han Yue Ling and Zhao Ya'Er may be from a more prominent family that her, but she has more resources in Imperial, or so she thinks she does.

One word from her and she can spread any news throughout Imperial with the people she knows. Besides, Ning Mei is a victim in this, they can surely sue Yue Ling for defamation.

Zhao Ya'Er watched from the side. She was dumbfounded and the corner of her lip twitched uncontrollably. Did Ni Wenli really say she can ruin their life in Imperial? What kind of joke is this?

Yue Ling was also dumbfounded by the woman's words. Now, she couldn't help but decide if she should feel sorry for the woman for having such a small brain. How can they sue her for defamation if everything she said is all true?

If Ning Mei were to take a polygraph right now, she would clearly fail. Unless, she decides to 'look out' for the polygrapher.

However, knowing that words were useless at this moment, Yue Ling smiles a smile that did reach her eyes.

"If you can sue me, by all means, go ahead. However, don't be surprise when the truth is revealed."

Her words fell and she turns to look at Zhao Ya'Er. The smile on her face turns soft and she spoke.

"Let's go. We've kept them waiting for too long."

They have wasted too much time here with Ning Mei and Ni Wenli. Any longer and she was sure Madam Lu and Madam Zhao would get worried and come find them. She also doesn't want to drag the two middle-aged women into this childish quarrel.

"Mm."

Zhao Ya'Er answers and doesn't spare Ning Mei and Ni Wenli another look. She knows how her mother and aunt can be and it was best to not keep them waiting.

As Zhao Ya'Er walked pass behind Yue Ling's figure, the retired model turns to leave too. She doesn't feel like talking to two idiots. Besides, Ning Mei is going to get what she is asking for.

"W-Who said you can leave?!"

Ni Wenli could not believe that Yue Ling had disregarded them like they were not here at all. She grit her teeth and stretch her arm to grab Yue Ling's hair.

"Slut! Come back here!!"

She roared like a ferocious lioness ready to cause havoc upon her prey. However, when she thought she had the upper hand, Yue Ling's next move shook her to the core.

*Bang—!

Yue Ling swiftly dodge the hand and she grabs hold of Ni Wenli's arm by the wrist. With a slight twist, she bends the woman's arm behind her back.

Within seconds of doing so, her other hand grabs the back of Ni Wenli's head and she slams the woman against a row of lockers without letting go.

Ni Wenli grunts at the sudden pain. Anger at this humiliation, she struggles to free herself as she yells like a crazy lady.

"Slut! Let me go!! I can press charges against you!!"

The more she struggled and yelled, she could feel her head being pressed more against the hard lockers. Even though her other arm was free, she could not grab onto anything.

Yue Ling did not move an inch from the woman's struggles. She scoffs a sneer as her demeanor turned into one like a police officer capturing a suspect.

She adds more strength onto her hand against Ni Wenli's head and she leans closer to the woman's ear.

"Try to touch me again and I promise, YOU will be the next talk of Imperial."

Her angelic voice spoke menacingly as she releases Ni Wenli with a light shove and takes a step back. Her eyes cast a glare at Ning Mei then she turns away and leaves the locker room.

Even when Yue Ling and Zhao Ya'Er were no longer in the room, Ning Mei stood unmoving from her spot. She could feel her legs trembling in fear at what she had witnessed.

Just like the rookie model, Ni Wenli was scared out of her wits. She swore she most urinated on herself from hearing Yue Ling's words.

She felt the retired model's meaning of 'the next talk' is not about fame, but more like her death will be the talk of Imperial.

Both Ning Mei and Ni Wenli had thought Yue Ling was self-center because she is the designer and owner of De L'amour and An Qing. Not only that, as the granddaughter of General Ji, anyone in her shoes would think highly of themselves because others' fear of the old man.

However, never did they think she would react so quickly and defend herself against Ni Wenli.

Her movement was like a flash of lightning. If they had blinked their eyes, they would have missed it. Even they thought they were witnessing some kind of stunt from an action movie.

Finally able to blink her eyes again, Ning Mei turns to look at the other woman. She bit her lower lip to keep herself from going ballistic. Ni Wenli thought she could take down Yue Ling, but she is an useless woman who couldn't even defend herself.

Inhaling sharply, Ning Mei suppress her anger. She force her eyes to glisten with tears and she takes a step closer to her friend.

"Wenli… I'm so sorry. Are you alright?"

She reach a hand to help the woman gain her composure.

"It's all my fault. If you hadn't stood up for me, you wouldn't have suffered like this."

Oblivious to Ning Mei's true persona, Ni Wenli was boiling with anger. It's true that if she had never helped Ning Mei, she wouldn't be humiliated like this.

However, seeing the rookie model sob so pitifully, she sighs aloud.

Ning Mei has been a good friend of hers and one the few closest to her. It was only natural that she stands up for her friend.

"It's not your fault. Those two sluts think they are better than anyone because of their family."

She scoffs a sneer thinking back to what had happened.

"Karma will bite them for what they did."

Ning Mei doesn't say anything but continues to sob like a weak and fragile girl. However, deep down she was cursing Yue Ling to death.

By now, she has concluded that since Chu Li Xiang has not contacted her, Yue Ling must have escaped from the man's claws, but that won't be for long.

The last time she saw Wei Hongyi, he promised to set up a meeting for her with 'that person'. Once she reveals her deal to that person, Yue Ling is as good as dead as no one can ever escape from 'that person'.
