Dear Young Master Spare Me Please? - 212 The Gues
the entire journey was quiet. han meixiu knew something was going on and it was probably related to the incident earlier.
when they arrived home, aunt jing asked the two if they would eat lunch. liu zijian simply nodded.
after lunch the two stayed in the study but liu zijian still didn’t explain anything to han meixiu. the latter continued to wait as she was arranging the files on her laptop.
an hour already passed but her husband was far from giving her explanation.
her patience already ran out. the young woman abruptly closed her laptop and stared expectantly at her own husband who seemed to be feigning ignorance with her questions.
“jian, don’t ignore me. don’t you think i deserve an explanation?”
liu zijian stood up from his seat and walked towards his little wife who was now showing her fangs as she was really irritated.
“let’s wait for the guest.” he calmly said.
after the call of liu zilong, second young master liu received another call. he was clearly familiar with the owner of the voice on the other line.
he was instructed to never leave his wife out of his sight and it possible go home immediately.
sensing the urgency of her voice, liu zijian quickly searched his wife and found her holding a bottle of water and heading outside.
“guest?”
“mmmm.” he answered while his hand touched her head and subtly guided it to rest on his chest. it was his way to calm her down.
and it was effective.
han meixiu didn’t pester him again and obediently enjoyed his company. the comfort like always made her relax and sleepy.
since she just ate, it was a lot easier to drift off.

when han meixiu woke up, there was already an additional person inside the study but she was oblivious.
she didn’t know how long she napped but she felt a bit sluggish as she sat properly.
as she was about to stretch her arms she saw a woman sitting in front of her holding a cup of tea. the light mist emitting from it indicated it was just served.
she blinked several times to ensure that she wasn’t dreaming.
the image didn’t disappear and instead stared at her in reprimanding manner.

“mo… madam bai?” she asked confirming if it was really her mother and not someone else.
since the woman was again concealing her face, she called her the name attached to that mask.
“are you fully awake now?” the older woman asked while directly staring at her as if reading what’s inside her soul.
her sentence wasn’t really asking but sounded as if she was reprimanding the newly awake han meixiu.
the young woman nodded and looked at the man calmly sitting beside her.
liu zijian simply tapped gently her hands resting on his lap while his lips was slightly curled up.
if madam bai wasn’t around, he already tucked the hair partly covering her face and rubbed her adorable face. but since her mother was here, he behaved properly and didn’t show excessive sign of intimacy.
“what did the doctor tell you?”
before han meixiu could even conclude that her mother was the person liu zijian said to be their guest, she was already asked.
“doctor tang? nothing much. she only said that the paperweight did its purpose of finding her twins.”
han meixiu answered immediately. her mind already formed a conclusion about what transpired but she still asked few questions to confirm.
“was the woman who visited doctor tang related to her? or she really knows something about doctor tang kids?”
“it’s none of your concern. the paperweight, can you describe it?” madam bai swiftly changed the subject and handed her a paper and a pencil she got nearby.
han meixiu accepted but didn’t move afterwards. she was clearly displeased. she wanted some information in exchange. while pouting her lips in rebellion she also stared back at her mother with knitted eyebrows.
the staring contest of the two women lasted for few minutes before madam bai sighed.
“draw it first and i’ll tell you.”
han meixiu lowered her head and concentrated on forming the image of the paperweight. she used all the details she could remember.
“when i picked it up and gave it to doctor tang, there was a knife stabbed on it. the woman must be really strong as it’s really not easy to pierce the paperweight with a knife.”
“it’s a special type of paperweight. the place where it was stabbed…it’s that thing’s weakest part. she just destroyed it.”
madam bai answered as she studied the drawing.
the older woman could not help but to admire the detailed image han meixiu drew.
it seemed that there’s really quite a lot she still didn’t know about her own daughter even though she had a detailed report about her.
“doctor tang is connected to that person. her name is red. and right now, she’s being contained by a group of pest. they didn’t even spare the doctor who had nothing to do with the whole ordeal. tsk!”
“that group…are they your…”
“someone was really talkative.” madam bai commented cutting the sentence han meixiu was about to complete. based from how han meixiu asked, madam bai knew she was informed a bit about her circumstances.
the young woman lowered her head.
madam bai smiled. a glint of light flashed on her eyes as she smirked. the curled lips was hidden behind the paper she was holding.
‘what a joke.’
provoking her by getting red that the previous leader nurtured since young. those pests probably thought they could use that person to topple her? or threaten her?
she came here to find out what was the conversation her daughter had with the doctor. but surprisingly, she also got another information.
red was indeed good, destroying that piece of glass. although she’s not sure if it was totally destroyed she had to double check everything.
she was actually searching for that piece as it contained some prohibited record. wang zinyi stole it before she fled.
she just unexpectedly found out its whereabouts.
that piece might contain a piece of information that could be used against her. of course, it was left by her rival to an unexpected person.
madam bai actually admire the dead woman’s schemes. if only they didn’t stand against each other, they could make the organization returned to its former glory.
too bad, fate didn’t allow them to. they were born to be against each other. only one should survive. and it’s her, zhang huiling.
when han meixiu saw her mother stood up, she became alert.
“wait, you’re leaving? you didn’t fill the end of the deal yet! i still have questions…” by the end of her sentence, han meixiu’s voice became smaller as she looked at her mother’s eyes getting colder by the minute.
“what is it?” madam bai asked nonchalantly.
“doctor tang, will she be okay?”
“how should i know?”
“are you going to save them?”
“save?” madam bai asked her in return smiling as if what han meixiu just said was a ridiculous idea.
“i’m not going to save them. i’ll wipe out those pests that keep pestering me.”
what would happen to the doctor would be beyond her control. it would depend on her won’s luck. she didn’t plan to be a good samaritan.
madam bai said and left the room leaving han meixiu speechless.
liu zijian who had been observing and listening to the two finally spoke.
“i’ll send your mother out.”
before the young woman could react, liu zijian was already out of her sight.
