Chapter 279 - HOW CRUEL THE WORLD IS?!

"What are you doing here?" Lee Jin Ho asked when he opened the door for Lee Chin Mei. 

"Well, I just came from my classmate house near your area and was about to go home when I realized that sister-out-law's first commercial will be aired tonight and I wouldn't catch it if I go directly to our villa so I decided to drop by here. You don't have to worry, I'm not going to sleep here. I will just watch sister-out-law's commercial then I'll leave right away!" Lee Chin Mei said. She took off her shoes and wore the slipper that she owned on her brother's pad. 

"Make sure to leave after you've the commercial!" Lee Jin Ho said.

"Uhm!" Lee Chin Mei said and started walking to the living room. Only to be surprised that his brother has a lot of guest in his bachelor's pad. She suddenly stopped.

"Oh you have lot of visitors here" She said. She was quite familiar with them.

"They are my gradeschool bestfriends." Lee Jin Ho said casually. 

"You're gradeschool bestfriends?" She was stunned. 

She looked around...trying to remember those faces. Could it be that he was also here. 

Her heart was thumping and was about to leave already when Lee Jin Ho put his arms around her shoulder. "Let's go. Will still have 10 minutes before the commercial airs. I will introduce you to them."

NO. Her mind scream, specially now that he saw her. Eventhough he was facing his back on her, she could still recognize that it was him. 

Before she could say anything, Lee Jin Ho already called out his friend's attention. "Hey guys, look who's here"  

Song Dei Si, Yan Mor Tee, Ho Min Lin, Tan Ja Nin, Tan Ji Nan and Lu Jiaosheng looked at Lee Jin Ho and saw the girl who was standing next to him, her head was looking down at the floor.

"My brothers, hope you still remember my little sister way back when you're still hanging out in our villa. That michievious little girl who always loved to eavesdrop to our conversation. Lee Chin Mei!" 

"Oh, she's Lee Chin Mei now!" Yan Mor Tee said, she suddenly remember that cute little girl who always love to join their conversation. 

"I think she's a bit shy!" Tan Ji Nan said when she noticed that Lee Chin Mei head was still bowed down. 

"She's ugly! That's why she doesn't want to show her face!" Lee Jin Ho chuckled as he teased her sister. He lifted her chin, "Hey, Lee Chin Mei, show your ugly face to them, they will not judge you with the way you look." 

Lee Chin Mei has no other choice but to lift her head. She saw the friendly faces smiling at her. 

"Oh! She's pretty!" Song Dei Si exclaimed!

"She's Song Dei Si!"

Lee Chin Mei smiled and was not surprised to see how beautiful in person Song Dei Si is. She was like an angel who came down from heaven. Her brother has the right to go crazy about her before. 

"That's Yan Mor Tee. Song Dei Si's husband!" 

Lee Chin Mei smiled at Yan Mor Tee. He was really a drop-dead gorgeous. 

"That's Tan Ji Nan!" 

Lee Chin Mei was stunned. He was no longer a chubby anymore and was really good looking too! 

"That's Ho Min Lin, Tan Ji Nan's fiancè."

Lee Chin Mei smiled at her. She loves her fashion style. She looks like a model. 

"And she is Tan Ja Nin..." Lee Jin Ho suddenly made a cough. Giving Lee Chin Mei a warning not to keep quiet about his relationship with Tan Ja Nin. 

Lee Chin Mei smiled and nodded at Tan Ja Nin as if it was the first the first time that she met her.

"And then, he is Lu Jioasheng!"

Lee Chin Mei heart was thumping so fast when she looked at Lu Jiaosheng. 

Will he remember her? 

She gradually turned her gaze to Lu Jiaosheng and saw him looking intently at her. 

She smiled and nodded at him casually. She didn't know where she got that confidence to act as casual in front of him. 

Lu Jioasheng nodded at her too but was giving her a cold stare. 

That eyes of the girl he had a one night stand in Hong Kong that was quite familiar to him. It was because those eyes belong to this girl in front of him.

This girl he would never thought he would slept with. 

He wanted to shout! 

He slept with his bestfriend's little sister! 

How cruel the world is?!

"Oh! it's one minute before 8PM now. Let's set our eyes to the tv screen now!" Ho Min Lin excitedly said. 

Everyone's turned their eyes on the tv screen except of Lu Jiaosheng. He was still keep staring at Lee Chin Mei. 

"OMG, here it is!" Song Dei Si exclaimed

Lee Chin Mei was staring at the tv screen but she could see from her peripheral view that Lu Jioasheng has never left his eyes on her, he never even glance at the tv screen until the commercial ends. 

Everyone clap their hands after the commercial and went to Tan Ja Nin to congratulate her. 

"It was beautiful!" Ho Min Lin said

"Congratulations!" Song Dei said. 

The three girls hugged each other and was all teary-eyed. 

The guys looked at each other and could not understand why the girls friendship was too emotional. 

Yan Mor Tee hugged Tan Ja Nin! Lee Jin Ho suddenly felt some awkwardness when he saw Yan Mor Tee hugging his girlfriend. It was just okay if Yan Mor Tee wasn't the man that Tan Ja Nin adores from the past. But knowing how crazy in love was Tan Ja Nin to Yan Mor Tee before, he suddenly felt jealous but it has gone away the moment he heard Yan Mor Tee! "I'm happy for you, lil sis!" 

Little sister. He almost forgot that Yan Mor Tee has always treated Tan Ja Nin as his little sister.

Tan Ji Nan hugged his sister too and congratulates her! "I'm so proud of you sis. I'm sure Dad and Mom at home are also proud of you" 

Tan Ja Nin smiled when her phone suddenly rang and saw that her mom was calling her. "Speaking!" She told Tan Ji Nan. She excused herself from the group and happily answered the call and talked to her parents at the kitchen area. 

"Big brother, I have to go now and will not be able to congratulate Big Sister Tan Ja Nin." Lee Chin Mei said that made everyone looked at her. 

"Oh, why so fast?" Song Dei Si said.

"Yeah why don't you just stay here and join us." Said Ho Min Lin.

"I wanted too Big Sister Ho Min Lin but I have to go now because I have told our driver I'll come down after 15 minutes. He was just making a hazard parking in front of the building!" She said and looked at Lee Jin Ho! 

"Okay, I'll send you off in the lobby!" Lee Jin Ho said. 

"Let me do that for you! I'll just send her off to the lobby so you can stay here to entertain your guests!" Lu Jioasheng said as he suddenly stood up.

Guests my foot! The three men were quite a regular visitors in his pad. 

"No! Stay away from my sister. Don't try to lure her into your charm. I know that you're preference now is a young and beautiful teenager like my sister!" Lee Jin Ho said. 

Lu Jiaosheng eyes widened in disbelief and made a hissed sound. 

"I'm telling you, don't mess with my sister!" Lee Jin Ho added.

Lu Jioasheng shrugged his shoulder and did not insist. 

Lee Chin Mei felt relieved when Lu Jiaosheng did not insist on sending her off. She bid goodbye to the group and left with her brother. 

Tan Ja Nin was surprised when she didn't see Lee Chin Mei when she came back to the living room after the call she has with her parents. 

"Where's Lee Chin Mei and Lee Jin Ho?" she asked. 

"Lee Jin Ho send her sister off to the lobby, she's going home now!" Tan Ji Nan said.

"Ohh!" Tan Ja Nin could not believe it. Lee Chin Mei always love to hangout at her brother's place. 

"Who would have thought that she has grown up now? I could still remember her cute little face from before. She looked so different now as she grew up."  Tan Ji Nan said. 

Yan Mor Tee nodded "If I still remember, she's that cute little kid on a ponytail who cried with Lu Jioasheng when he broke up with his fiancè."

"Right! I also remember that she said to Lu Jiaosheng to wait for her to grow up so that he could marry her instead!" Tan Ji Nan said gleefully and laughed as he remembers the past. 

"What do you think? Two to three years from now, should I ask for her hand and marry her?" Lu Jiaosheng said in seriously manner.

"You're just kidding right, bro? Didn't you hear what Lee Jin Ho has said earlier. Back off!!!" Said Yan Mor Tee.

Lu Jiaosheng suddenly laughed "Right!"

"Spare her and just focus on finding that girl you met in Hong Kong!"said Tan Ji Nan

Lu Jiaosheng face fell.

I've already found her.
