"What are you doing?" Han Jingyi snarled when she was thrown inside the car by Han Sheng's men, ''Did you forget who I am?" Her dishevelled hair framed half of her face as she tilted her head to look at Han Sheng who was sitting on the passengers' seat.
''I didn't forget who you are. You are the adopted....'' He paused and Han Jingyi felt like the term 'adopted' was emphasized on purpose to stab her where it hurt, ''....daughter of Han Family,'' Han Sheng spoke after a small pause.
''Then, do you know that my mother and father would be upset if they come to know how their daughter was treated by your men?'' She raised her hand, showing him the glaring red marks on her wrists that she got while being dragged here.
"How do you think would they feel when they come to know about their adopted daughter's deeds?" Han Sheng said with a straight face while looking at her through the rear-view mirror.
''W-What do you mean?" Han Jingyi gulped softly as she averted her gaze, not daring to look into his eyes, There was no way he could have known what transpired there. She had wanted to end Yu Mei today but Jun Zixuan's presence was unexpected. She did not expect him to trace them here.
What Han Jingyi did not know was that even without Jun Zixuan coming there, she would not have been able to take Yu Mei down.
If Jun Zixuan would not have been there, then Yu Mei would not have let her guard down when she closed her eyes. She had the backup plans up her sleeves.
But Jun Zixuan's presence allowed her to relax, knowing that he is there and will handle everything from then on.
Nevertheless, unaware of all that, Han Jingyi was more bothered by Han Sheng's frigid expressions at this moment. Did he know what she was up to? It was impossible. She had worked in dark, crafting her plan and she had made sure that nobody knew of it then what happened?
And what bothered her the most was even if he knew something, how much was that?
She leaned back on the seat of the car and her gaze swept past the trees on the right side. She looked outside the window in a daze, the hatred for Yu Mei was growing stronger and stronger in her heart with each passing second.
If that woman had not existed, then she would never have done any of this, neither would she be in this situation today.
Just as she was about to close her eyes, her gaze wandered off to something in distance. Her eyes caught a flash of white behind the trees.
Her eyes widened and she pressed her face closer to the glass, ''Stop the car...'' She said, ''Stop!" She yelled when she recognized what it was.
Han Sheng glanced at her, ''I am not falling for your pretence. It's time to go home and answer everyone what you have been doing all these years.''
...
''It looks like they know everything,'' Han Jian Yu stepped inside the VIP room as he glanced at Yu Mei who was reading a magazine while sitting on the bed.
Jun Zixuan, who was sitting beside her tilted his head to look at Han Jian Yu, ''They do. Han Sheng, your biological father was there after we left.''
Han Jian Yu frowned, wondering whether Jun Zixuan was rubbing salt on purpose. That man was indeed his biological father but...they were nothing much like that. If it was not mentioned to him, he would forget that he had a father out there in the world.
He sighed, ''From what I found, it looks like he already knew about...''
''He...As in... Your father?" Yu Mei blinked.
''Yes. So, Han Sheng was already aware that Han Jingyi is up to something. One of her guards betrayed her,'' Han Jian Yu indifferently said, ''And he had made some arrangements to find about her intentions.''
''Arrangements?" Yu Mei frowned.
"Live recording. He knows about everything.''
After saying his piece, Han Jian Yu left the room and the place drowned in silence for some time.
After a few minutes, Yu Mei glanced at Jun Zixuan, ''You know...the one who assassinated me...It was Han Jingyi.''
Jun Zixuan's brows tugged together, his eyes narrowed slightly.
''If it was live recording like what brother said then the Han Family will know about everything,'' She shook her head, ''Brother never wanted that. And...I don't know how to deal with Han Jingyi for all she has done before.''
''Han Sheng told my guard that they will give me an answer,'' Jun Zixuan said after some time as he glanced at her, ''And even if they didn't, you don't have to do anything. I will deal with Han Jingyi in my own way,'' He whispered, ''You are related to Han Family, I am not.''
''Hey hey, you are the son-in-law,'' Yu Mei protested weakly.
''They don't even know that you are their daughter yet then how did I become the son-in-law?" Jun Zixuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
''They should know by now,'' Yu Mei blinked.
Jun Zixuan shook his head, ''Don't think about anything. We will deal with it when the time comes.''
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
''Come in,'' Jun Zixuan said as he glanced at the door.
The door was pushed open and Steward Gu stepped inside, followed by a few men dressed in black.
Yu Mei recognized them to be from Jun Zixuan's guards' team with one glance. She was about to look at Jun Zixuan when her gaze landed on the food trolley they were pushing towards the hospital bed.
''Master, Young Mistress,'' Steward Gu bowed slightly to them.
The bodyguards left the hospital room after settling the trolley beside the bed. Jun Zixuan stood up and arranged it properly while Yu Mei talked with Steward Gu, ''You have been here all the time?"
