Chapter 116 - I love dogs!

Xu Nuan smirked while holding onto the phone while imagining his funny yet puzzled expressions. " That money...I used for….." she trailed on it for a long time to make him frustrated.

He was about to snap at her when she said, " I will tell you only if you take me out for a movie." she grinned while checking out her nails. 

Han Zihao who was waiting for her response was startled and frowned because he was expecting her to tell him the reason why she deposited the money. But she did not and played her trick on him.

" You...Do you think you can bargain with me? You should be happy that I didn't scold you for taking out money like this." he tried to show her that he was being nice to her and yet she was playing with him.

She scoffed and responded, " So what? Should I bow to you for being so nice or drink the water after washing your feet? Mr. Han, you should be glad that I am being so nice and patient to you. You will not find a girl like me who will confess first and then wait for you to move on from your imaginary girlfriend." she said while pausing for a moment remembering that she is his imaginary girlfriend though.

" I have every right and skill to get a man right away and that too better than you. So stop playing hard to get and grab the opportunity when you have," she said while fondling with her hair locks. 

" Ms. Xu, someone called Mr. Lin is here to meet you." Xu Nuan looked at the receptionist who just came to tell her about Lin Hui's arrival. The landline in Xu Nuan's office is not working so she has to come all the way just to tell her that.

" Ah, send him in." Xu Nuan to her while not minding Han Zihao's existence over the phone.

Han Zihao's expressions darkened hearing their exchange as he wondered, ' He even reached her office?' 

' What is he doing over there?'

Now suddenly Xu Nuan's words started to seem logical. He technically has no relationship with her and if she wants, she can go to another man and there is no need for her to wait for him. 

He pursed his lips and wondered, ' One movie won't do any harm, does it?'

He cleared his throat and said, " Okay. Tell me the time. I will pick you up from the office." He said while trying to stay in his character, cold and indifferent but Xu Nuan could sense his obvious fakeness. 

Her lips curled up in a sly smile as she nodded and said, " Great. Then pick me up at 9 pm today. We can watch the 10:30's show after dinner. What say?"

He sighed, " Fine. But till then, focus on work and not on stupid distractions. Remember, all men are dogs." he tried to be serious remembering that Lin Hui came to meet her at the office. From the looks of it, he looks pretty and pretty men are the most dangerous. They hide their true character beneath their pretty face.

She was surprised by hearing his comment. She smirked and said before hanging up, "Ah, really? I never knew about that. Ah, maybe I forgot to tell you that...I love dogs." she said the last part slowly as if a whisper and hung up.

"-_-"

Han Zihao was shocked when she suddenly hung up leaving him all hanging in the conversation. What did she mean by she loves dogs when the context was that all dogs are men? Does she…" he wondered if she loves all men but he couldn't decipher the true meaning behind her words.

His mind was trailing off in the wrong direction as he forgot that he is a man himself.

Xu Nuan looked up at Lin Hui whom she had called to her office to discuss about the new music video director that they need to hire. Although Wang Meili has allowed her to work with the director who works with the company, she has seen his works and she wasn't fond of his working style.

Also, the camera work isn't that great either. So she contacted Lin Hui who has some best contacts in the industry. She has self-esteem and prefers to do things on her own whenever she can but she doesn't feel shy to ask people for help. Business is all about connections. If you don't have yours, then use others. Simple as that. 

" Xu Nuan, have you heard the recent news about Hao Mei?" Lin Hui asked after they were done discussing about the director and how to convince him to work with him.

Xu Nuan who was visibly tried suddenly became attentive and leaned closer to hear what he has to say.

" I heard from someone that a few days ago, Qin Ju's mother saw Hao Mei in a restaurant and created a big scene over there." He pulled out his phone and played the video on his phone.

" See yourself."

Xu Nuan frowned when the video started playing. In the video, Qin Ju's mother was throwing accusations and taunts at Hao Mei in front of everyone, not caring about her nor Hao Mei's image.

" You Bi*ch! You ruined my son's life and his career. With your s.l.u.tty behavior you seduced my son and got in between Jiang Yue and his relationship. Because of the misunderstanding created by you, the whole world loathes my son. You should just die, die." She removes Hao Mei's mask and scarf that she was wearing and threw it on the ground, leaving some scratches on her face.

" Qin Ju loved Jiang Yue so much but it was you who seduced him and then cheated on him. You used him for your benefits and then threw him away. I feel so bad for my son. What did he do so bad to face the wrath of the people? This bitch deserves the hate, she seduced him, she betrayed her friend, why does my son have to be accused?" she wailed on the ground by beating her chest miserably with her fist.

People surrounded them, pulled out their phones, and made a video of this interesting scene while the woman on the ground continued grabbing their attention.

Hao Mei was speechless seeing her victimizing Qin Ju and herself. She scoffed and said, "Aunty, for your kind information, it was your son who came to me. It was him who confessed to me first and not me. Stop acting as if you are innocent. You never liked Jiang Yue when she was alive and now using her name to take pity from others?"

" You were aware that Qin Ju was meeting with me behind Jiang Yue's back and even treated me to a meal with him, but now you're acting as if I was the only one who did wrong?"

Qin Ju's mother's expressions turned ashen upon hearing her words. She was not expecting her to speak even at this moment. She has always expected her to be an innocent, simple girl that's why she preferred her over-ambitious, sharp-tongued Jiang Yue.

She never liked Jiang Yue and made her do things that she never liked but she did for the sake of her relationship with Qin Ju. However, she was annoyed at the fact that she was getting popular day by day and her fame was much greater than her son and she didn't want a daughter-in-law to look down at her son.

" You bitch! How can you lie like this? Such a shameless wh*re." QIn Ju's mother jumped on Hao Mei and started pulling her by her hair, causing her to shriek in pain.

The video ended up on a quite violent and ugly note. 

Xu Nuan pursed her lips and was struggling with mixed emotions. She agreed with Hao Mei's words because she knows Qin Ju's mother's personality. She was trying to gain sympathy by putting all the blame on Hao Mei and wanted to get justice for her son despite knowing his actions. 

She has always been like this. She has always disliked Jiang Yue and never sugar-coated her words to hide her dissatisfaction. And what she hated was, Qin Ju always yielded to his mother and asked her to understand and give in to her mean attitude for the sake of their relationship.

At that time, she thought that it's the right thing to do and decided to control her words as much as possible and tried to give her best to their so-called relationship. But in the end, that bastard didn't respect her efforts and cheated on her with Hao Mei.

Although she hated Hao Mei equally as well, however, she still has a soft corner for her. She was a girl whom she has treated like her own sister. You can't hate people close to your heart instantly just because you found out about their dirty acts. Your mind might not forget what they did to you but your heart always goes against your heart.

Moreover, cheating is not one-sided. It takes two people to cheat and Qin Ju and Hao mei were both involved, so she wasn't liking the way Qin Ju's mother put all the blame on her and humiliated her publicly.

These actions are justified if the other person would be Jia Fei or someone close to her who hasn't wronged her and wanted to fight for her sake. That would still be understandable. But who is she to humiliate Hao Mei when she knew that Qin Ju and she cheated on her and never did anything to tell them off?

She was not a victim instead she was also a part of their crimes. How dare she act like a victim and create a scene like this?
