Felt Embarrassed

Officer Kim swallowed hard and tried acting courageous. He stared at the unblinking eyes of Joey and coughed slightly before saying " We need Miss Su to come along with us for some questioning" . He tried to be casual as much as possible with his words. He doesn't want to be at loggerheads with president Jang. One has to tread gently when dealing with this rich folks.

CEO Mu have been staring at Lara since she walked in with Joey. She seems to be familiar. She bears alot of resemblance with someone he used to know many years ago. He has heard about Joey's rumoured girlfriend but never meet her until this morning. He listened to officer Kim's answer to Joey but felt unpleased. "President Jang, your so-called girlfriend assaulted your fiancee and I expect you to take appropriate action" William Mu said with feigned anger.

Mu Xin and her mother were pleased with what her father had just said. Xin felt butterflies in her belly.

" I do not deny the facts that Lara hits your daughter. But have you ever heard that he that pelts others with pebbles asks for rocks in return?". Joey asked and pulled Lara to go inside the office. He doesn't like to talk too much but this 'Mu' of a people are not sensible enough to know that it takes two to fight.

Lara was quiet. Just yesterday, Joey had scolded her because of this Mu Xin and this morning, he stands to defend her against the same Mu Xin. How very unpredictable his attitude was. Her smile was obvious. She held Joey's hand, ready to follow him until Mu Xin's tears and words made Joey to paused in his steps. She felt his anger as his hand held her tightly that she would have cried out if these nuisances were not here.

"Brother Joey, you should pity me. See what Lara did to me. She hits me and would have killed me if the servants had not intervened. She... ha..tes me so nuch. Maybe I should forget being a filia daughter and not fulfill my grandfather's promise to your grandfather" Mu Xin said amidst tears.When She saw that Joey paused his movement, she smiled inwardly. She would have won the award for the best actress if this was a competition.

Lara was almost suffocating from Mu Xin's lies. Which servants were present when she slapped her. Why didn't she give reasons why she had been slapped. She can't just hit her for no reason whatsoever, when she's not insane.

"No Xin, don't say that. Your grandfather was a honest man who thought to keep the bond of friendship with the Jang family. How was he suppose to know that a certain trash was going to come in-between".Madam Mu tried to coax her daughter. Literally, you'd think she was consoling her daughter; but in reality, she was sending words to Joey.

The police officers stood and listened to their conversation. They were glad the conversation have shifted from them to the Mu's. They do not want to be involved when the rich picks a quarrel with each other.

Lee Liang have been listening and shook his head. He stood holding President Jang's laptop. Joey raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Immediately Lee Liang came forward and opened the laptop. A video played before them.

CEO Mu's Lip twitched when he saw the video before him. It was Mu Xin who first started a quarrel by tripping Lara. Lara only retaliated by hitting her. He has lost face not before Joey alone but before these officers and the staff of Jang group.

When madam Mu saw the video too, she knew her daughter did wrong. However, she will have to scold her later but now, she have to give an excuse for her. "Mu Xin didn't tripped her intentionally, Lara shouldn't have taken it too far and hits her so badly" .

Lara felt her heartbeat almost skipped. This woman is so unreasonable, such a lame excuse for her daughter's ruthlessness? Since she has chosen to be shameless, she will have no other option left but to play along with her. "What I did to Mu Xin was not intentional either. You shouldn't have taken it too far by bothering the officers and thereby disrupting our work ma'am" .

Madam Su was very angry and almost puke out blood . Her neck veins were visible as she wish she could strangled Lara. It seems she had underestimated this stinking girl. She dare to lash her with her tongue?. She must teach her a lesson someday.

Mu Xin nails pierced her palm. How can she forget something so vital as the survelliance camera. How much embarrassment she had caused her parents. Gush, she lost to Lara.

"I've always held you in high esteem as a man who doesn't take rash decision, CEO Mu, dont let me think otherwise of you"Joey said as each of his words were like a hammer hitting William Mu's heart. He blinked several times and felt highly embarrassed. If he had known that it was his daughter who started a quarrel, he would not have belittled himself to come over here with the police despite his busy schedule.

"Am sorry President Jang. I didn't know it was my daughters fault". William Mu apologised. But before his words were ever completed, Joey and Lara had walked away. Behind them was Lee Liang as he strode into the office.

Officer Kim was inwardly delighted. Outwardly, he put on an unhappy face and crumbled " Sir, next time before you invite the police, make sure there are no flaws. We are too busy to waste time on unnecessary childish fights" he turned and walked away with his colleagues.

William Mu stood there stupefied. He looked around and saw some secretaries staring at them. He took some large strides into the elevator. When he got out of the company into his car, he scolded Xin and swore never to be involved in her war with Lara over Joey. He didn't want to come but Rose had begged him to come along with them to show Joey how important Xin was to them.

Lara sat on her desk unable to think or say anything. She blinked and licked her lips. He really defended her before the Mu's . He's not worried about what his mother or grandfather would say when the winds of what happened this morning gets to them. She raised her head to glance at him. Their eyes meet and Joey gave her a faint smile with the corner of his lips.

Nora had gone to the hospital with Feng Li to see a gynaecologist. He had told them that the baby was due to be born any moment from two weeks time. Everything else was alright. Before leaving, he equally advised Nora to pay attention to her diets.

Scan had revealed that it's a boy that Nora was carrying. Feng Li was happy. He was going to be a father soon.

Their wedding took place exactly a month after they obtained the certificate from the burea. All the wedding expenses down to the bolt tie that Feng Li wore was sponsored by Nora's parents.

Nora sat in the waiting room while Feng Li went to get her some supplements. Nora looked at her protruded belly and smiled. She touched it, caressing it. Whose child was this baby she was carrying?. Was it really Feng Li's or Rong Xi's?

She was Rong Xi's girlfriend until when she went to her father to help Lara's boyfriend get a job. When her father meet Feng Li, he immediately liked him. He gave Feng Li a condition, that he must marry his daughter Nora.

Initially, Feng Li refused but when Nora's father gave him promises of making him a minister with some great benefits from being a son inlaw to him. Feng Li's love for Lara wavered and he succumbed.

On the night of Feng Li's welcome party, at the instructions of her father, Nora made Feng Li drunk by drugging his drink. She took him to an already prepared room. And made love to him.

Before Feng Li will wake up and become sober, Nora took a bottle her father had given her and poured it's content on the bed spread. As expected of what her father told her, it looked exactly like blood. She smiled dispose of the bottle carefully. She lied down gently beside Feng Li covering them both with a quilt.

" Let's go darling" Feng Li's voice brought her out of her thoughts. She looked up at the smiling face of Feng Li and extended her hand to him. He held her up and put his hand around her waist as they both went out. She was happy with Feng Li. Her father was right about one thing, that Feng Li was a good man.

As they stepped out of the hospital, a man was coming in. He wore a jeans and a polo with a sunshade spectacle. When he saw Nora, the sight of her brought him to an abrupt halt. Nora suddenly felt uncomfortable and raised her head up. Then their eyes meet. When she saw him, she shivered and felt a hot drop of pea in her panties...
