Another Chance To Love - Chapter 86

Back at home, Chunlan sat down in a poised manner and with a bright smile as she faced the physician who was supposed to cure her blindness. It was her first time meeting in Shen Ji and she wanted to make a good first impression. She smiled. “Hello, I am Chunlan, nice to meet you. I have heard of your unprecedented skill in medicine. I truly admire you.”

Shen Ji saw down beside her appraising her with hostile eyes. She had visited the house looking for Jihai to apologize to him for what had happened the other night but she was informed by one of the maids that he was not in the house. She was also told that she was banned from going upstairs and she was about to leave when she saw the same maid carrying a cup of tea upstairs and that was when she found out about the existence of Jihai’s fiancee so she snuck upstairs to see her.

Now she understood why he had saved her in Dubai. She thought that it was fate that had brought them together but it wasn’t true. Even though things had come to this, she wasn’t planning to let Jihai ho just like that. She had been smitten with him since the day he saved her, reassuring her in her most vulnerable moment and she sincerely felt that she was the man she wanted to spend her life with. She felt vexed by the very fact she was brought here to save the fiancee of the man that she loved. “So do I. It is not every day that someone gets to meet the heiress of the Tang family.”

Chunlan smiled warmly when she heard the girl’s delicate voice. She imagined that such a girl would get along well with her best friend, Menxiang. “Please don’t be so formal with me. I have heard about what happened to you in Dubai from Jihai. You will be safe here, don’t worry.”

“Thank you. I was actually looking for Jihai but I was told that he was not here so I decided to come here instead.” She smiled coldly, her voice full of implications.

Chunlan frowned a little when she heard that but to Shen Ji’s surprise, she did not get annoyed or curious about how she had got up here. “Jihai had to go somewhere today but if he comes back, I will tell him about your visit.”

“There’s no need to do that. I will come back this evening to check on him.” Shen Ji let her voice seem a little hesitant before she continued with an embarrassed expression. “Actually, there is another reason why I am here.”

“What is it?” Chunlan arched one eyebrow in puzzlement.

“I came here to look for my hairbrush.” Shen Ji pretended to be hurried in explaining herself. “When I was living here, the lights in my room suddenly went off and well I stayed here for a night-”

All good thoughts Chunlan had about her suddenly vanished when she heard her. She was sure that this woman was not here to be her friend if she had the guts to tell her this piece of unwanted information. Her voice turned frosty. “There is no hairbrush here, Miss Shen. Jihai knows I am slightly germaphobic so he ordered the maids to clean this room before I moved into this room. You ask the maids for it or you can even ask them to call one of the waste disposal companies nearby if you still need the hairbrush.”

Shen Ji clenched her fist, silently fuming as she glared at Tang Chunlan. At this point, she almost could not force herself to pretend to be cordial anymore. “That’s so sad. It was given to me by my master so I really cherish it a lot.”

“Then you should have kept it well, Miss Shen.” Chunlan stretched her hands to transfer her ŀȧptop from her side to her ŀȧp when she said. “Well, it was nice meeting you but I was engaged in a video call before you came so I will need to ask you to leave. I am sure you are aware of my condition so I am afraid I will not be able to see you out. Good day, Miss Shen.”

Shen Ji gritted her teeth as she spat out the words. “Goodbye.” She grabbed her purse and stormed out of the room, slamming the door in rage as she closed the door. She was expecting Chunlan to be subservient towards her since she was going to be the one who was going to restore her eyesight back.

But she still had the nerve to treat her like this!

“Just wait, Chunlan. I will teach you a lesson you won’t forget. I will make-” She opened her bag to pick up her phone which was vibrating. “Hello? Mr Mo, what a great surprise. Is there anything I can help you with?”

She looked back at the closed door with sinister eyes before she plastered a fake smile on her lips. “Of course I can be there right away. Please give me the address and I will be in my way.”

She ended the call and whispered. “I will be back, Chunlan. Wait for me.”

Meanwhile, Chunlan was still engrossed in her thoughts, thinking of the best way to approach Jihai about Shen Ji without getting into a fight with him because the truth was she was very annoyed right now about what she had just heard. She had purposely prevented Shen Ji from saying her own side of the story because she did not want to poison her mind with that woman’s lies.

She was about to get up when she heard a familiar ringtone that signified an incoming video call so she issued a voice command to answer it. She found out it was Chunhua. “I am so sorry, I cut the call like that-”

“Jie Jie!” Chunlan straightened her back when she heard her sister’s panicked voice. “You need to come here to the office.”

“What is wrong?” Chunlan’s eyebrows creased in worry.

“It’s Wen Honglin.” Chunhua said. “He is in the office causing a scene and claiming to be a new shareholder in our company.”

“What do you mean he is claiming to be a shareholder? What is he saying exactly?” She frowned when she heard Wen Honglin’s name.

“He is saying…..that you transfered half of your shares to him in exchange for giving you the ownership of a company called Starlock!”

Chunlan scowled angrily, her earlier restraint on her rage broken as she said. “Don’t be afraid, I will be there soon.

She closed her ŀȧptop.
