Shouting at the top of her lungs, Aunt Han Mi raised the stick again, ready to hit Meifeng.
Meifeng who had gotten used to this treatment since last eight years was simply curled up on the floor with her eyes closed and her hands protecting her head. Over the course of time Meifeng had learned that the best way to avoid or decrease her torment was to bear it quietly without even crying. Most of the times Meifeng would be receiving around ten to twelve sticks before her uncle stops it. Resigning to her fate Meifeng was waiting for the second stick to land on her body.
Aunt Han Mi was boiling with anger, the second stick was in the midst of cutting through air and landing on Meifeng's body. Before it could land on her body it was grabbed by someone or precisely something came in between Meifeng and the stick.
Wondering who dared to prevent Meifeng from her wrath, Aunt Han Mi shouted, "Who dared to ....."
Wu Qiqiang had just entered the house with Assistant Mu when he heard shouting sounds from inside. He had expected to be greeted with a warm hearted family, whereas he was greeted with something he had never expected of.
The first scene Wu Qiqiang saw was, Aunt Han Mi raising the stick to hit Meifeng who was lying on the cold floor. Without wasting even a single moment Wu Qiqiang rushed to stop that stick hurting Meifeng.
Aunt Han Mi who was wondering about who had the guts to stop her was shell shocked when she raised her head and looked at Wu Qiqiang. Though she was unable to realize who he was and the reason he was here, she started feeling a chill running down her spine when he looked at her. The temperature in the hall also dropped a certain degrees.
Meifeng who was anticipating the arrival of her punishment, heard her aunt shouting something. Raising her head she looked at her aunt who was obviously looking at someone.
Shocked Meifeng murmured, "Third Brother Wu."
Regaining her usual haughtiness, Aunt Han Mi spoke while pointing towards Wu Qiqiang, "Who are you? Who gave you the permission to enter our house?"
Wu Qiqiang paid no attention to anyone since his eyes landed on Meifeng. She looked so pitiful, her tear stained face, bruises on her body, blood stained forehead, it all broke his heart. the girl who he had wanted to keep at the palm of his hand, the only girl who he held at the apex of his heart was in this condition.
Assistant Mu was aware of his boss and his habits in dealing with troublesome people. Quickly standing in front of Han Mi he spoke, "Boss came here to meet with the Qian family."
Looking around he added, "But it seems we arrived at not so welcomed time."
Wu Qiqiang simply bent down and picked Meifeng in his arms while trying to avoid her injured parts. Successfully picking her up he started walking out of the house.
"Third brother Wu..." Meifeng was about to ask him to not meddle in the matters as it can bring him harm, but she was silenced with a sharp, cold voice,"Shut up."Mr Qing who had not reacted even for a moment till now, stood up noticing some unknown man leaving with Meifeng.Quickly grasping the situation Aunt Han Mi shouted, "Where do you think you are taking her?"Assistant Mu was equally shocked seeing his boss directly picking up the lady boss and walking out disregarding everything else, "We will take Miss Qian first.""Qian Meifeng, Dare you go out of this house."shouted Han Mi at the top of her lungs, threatening her. She was sure that if today Meifeng did not apologize to the Han family there are high chances that even her daughter's engagement would be in trouble. She knew Meifeng had always stayed under her wing and was easily threatened. When one threat did not work, she was about shout something else, but another deep voice was heard.
Meifeng was always a delicate girl. Specially when her parents were there she was the princess and used to spend her free time cultivating herself. Gardening had been one of her best ways to spend time in the past. Hearing about colorful flowers she smiled widely while her eyes twinkled, "Wow, that's great. Yes I love flowers."Assistant Mu quickly nodded, "Our boss also likes it. Thus he has kept a special person to take care of the garden." Feeling happy in his heart Assistant Mu patted himself for giving his boss a good impression in front of the lady.Assistant Mu quickly came out of the car and opened the door for his boss with a wide smile plastered on his face which clearly asked for praise. Getting down Wu Qiqiang grabbed Meifeng and picked her up in her arms the same way before walking inside the mansion.Meifeng was so embarrassed about the fact that she was being carried in his arms. At her house she was indeed scared and heart broken, thus she
"Third Brother Wu, I don't want to drag you into this mess."This was the best reply Meifeng could give to him as she did not want to speak anything about other matters or give him even a little hint about other things which she knew of. Meifeng was nervous thinking about how Wu Qiqiang would answer. A small part of her heart which she had buried long ago was trying to come out asking for support, asking for happiness, asking to be loved...Wu Qiqiang scoffed, "Do you think, I , Wu Qiqiang cannot clear up this mess?." Wu Qiqiang's each and every word, his question displayed his arrogance, his pride. Any other normal person would think he was bluffing but only few of them knew how capable he was.Wu Qiqiang's question was like a time bomb on Meifeng. She was completely unable to answer it, if she says yes, she was disregarding him and, based on her knowledge of him, he would do anything to prove it to her. While if she says no, she would still have to give an appropriate
Wu Qiqiang would have smacked Mu Jin if he would have joking or trying to hit on Meifeng, but since they were together since long time Wu Qiqiang was easily able to make out when Mu Jin would be joking and when eh would be serious. According to Wu Qiqiang he was serious right now.Mu Jin knew that Qian Meifeng was just about to turn eighteen after all she was the headlines of every news today. Hearing the answer Mu Jin showed a happy expression saying, ""Wow, that is awesome Miss Qian. I have a occupational disease so I will advice you something. I would suggest you to get a full body check up once as soon as possible."Meifeng's face changed hearing about the full body checkup, "Why?"Smiling Mu Jin answered, "Ohh, there is no need to worry Miss Qian. As I said I have a occupational disease. It is advisable to go through a full body check up every year and specially when you turn an adult. So I just advised you."Meifeng calmed down and nodded to his sug
Mu Jin removed his glasses and placed them in his pocket. His demeanor had now completely changed. From a serious looking person he was now looking like a playboy. Mu Jin and Wu Qiqiang had been friends since years thus it was not at all surprising for Wu Qiqiang to understand about Mu Jin's thoughts."Who is she?" Instead of answering Wu Qiqiang's question Mu Jin had asked him another question startling Wu Qiqiang.Wu Qiqiang who was startled replied non-chalantly, "None of your business."When Mu Jin did not answer or say anything Wu Qiqiang asked a little desperately,"Tell me. What is the problem?""She is my patient. I cannot disclose any information about her before I am sure about her place in your life." Mu Jin spoke calmly with righteousness.Though Wu Qiqiang and Mu Jin had been friends since long both of them had their own principles. Mu Jin was a well known play boy in the social circle but when it came to his work and his patients he wo
Inside the room,After Wu Qiqiang and Mu Jin had left, assistant Mu had started flattering Meifeng."Miss.Qian, do you need something to eat?"Meifeng who wanted to see the news her family was talking since morning tried to get down from the bed to get her cell phone which was placed on the table.Quickly stopping Meifeng, assistant Mu asked politely,"Miss. Qian, do you need anything. I can get it for you. There is no need for you to move." '(if you move i might not be bale to move for the rest of my life')Ofcourse he did not say the latter part. Any smart person was well aware about when they should not piss their lady boss.Meifeng who was not used to all this tried t argue but it turned out to be of no use as assistant Mu stood besides the bed guarding it like guarding some princess. Little did she knew she was more precious than a princess to someone. At last Meifeng pointed towards the table and requested assistant Mu to pass her cell
Smiling gently Meifeng looked around to check the presence of Wu Qiqiang. Once she confirmed that he was nowhere closer to the room she asked assistant Mu with a low voice, "Assistant Mu, since when are you working with Third Brother Wu?"Assistant Mu who was scared about Meifeng's question instantly relaxed. Making a proud look he adjusted his tie with both hands, cleared his throat, and answered, "For ten years Miss. Qian. I am the only one who is working for so long under President Wu."Meifeng had got her answer in the first half thus she simply ignored the second half of assistant Mu's answer. Again looking around for Wu Qiqiang's arrival Meifeng asked in a much lower voice, "Why has Third Brother Wu came back this time?"This was a little tough question as compared to the first one. Assistant Mu was put on a tough spot wondering if he should tell Meifeng about their business or not. Remembering how patient his boss was with Meifeng he decided it would be b
When she came here Meifeng noticed this was a new house and had been decorated freshly. She was sure that this is the first time that the master of the house was coming to stay here. This also inadvertently made her believe that Wu Qiqiang would be here on a short trip and would again leave once his work is done.Meifeng did not push the topic of going back to the Qian mansion because till now she believed that one day Wu Qiqiang would go back to states and then she can go back to lead her previous life. After knowing Wu Qiqiang had returned forever it was only right for her to clarify when she can go back. After all Meifeng never wanted to drag him into her family mess.Wu Qiqiang who had heard Meifeng's words started laughing inexplicably, making Meifeng shudder in fear.Laughing to his heart extent, Wu Qiqiang repeated, "Home?"Meifeng was indeed scared from Wu Qiqiang not because he was scary instead she had began to be scared of people who were
