Lifen was already calm with her words before. Though the lies weaved by Jie disgusted her but still she didn't showed it on her outer surface.
At first she even thought that she must have her reasons behind her lies. Maybe she had truly fallen for Deming and all that lies was just to prevent her from losing him and keeping him on her side.
Love often made you lose the rationality and makes you do the things which are wrong in every perspective.
Love never comes alone. It comes with a package of emotions and feelings. Jealousy and insecurity are its prime content.
The content which often leads one, to the path that will only bring destruction if you let them rule over your brain and heart.
It has the power to manipulate good into wrong.
Often there is such silver string of line that differentiate between right and wrong that makes people thinks the wromg path to be the right one. And the same difference runs between infactuation and love.
She thought the same would have happened with Jie. Her love would have made her do the things that were so wrong in reality.
But she had miscalculated her ambition and feelings. It wasn't the love that brought her to this wrong path. It was solely her greed for power and fame that made her weave such long net of lies.
Now by taking the things clearly, she can put together the actual scenario. In reality, Jie never had any true feelings for Deming. It was just a mere thought that would have crossed her sense.
She would have taken Deming just as some trophy that she wanted to win at all cost. A man for which so many woman dreamt of. She wanted to be the centre of attention. A person about whom people feel envious.
Love would never become so selfish that it will suffocate the very person only.
It's always been a beautiful feeling that sets people free.
Lifen would have let the things slide off easily if Jie's feelings would be true towards Deming but it wasn't. It was so malicious that it could destroy the world if she has the control.
How can she let it slide off? Especially when she knew that Jie's was still planning not to back out.
Lifen stepped dangerously close to Jie as she said in a piercing tone, "You don't own any such thing that I will wish to snatch from you. Don't even think of being such a narcissist in front of me. You simply aren't capable".
"...", Jie lost her voice to respond to her words. The coldness and fierceness wasn't something that she has expected at this moment.
She had seen her all so nonchalant that she nearly forgot to think that how she had be fierce at the mall when she meddled with Daiyu.
"You wanted the evidence, right? I will show it to you now", she said as she stepped a little back. "I am the live evidence that can prove you to be the lie. Look as much as you want and satisfy yourself with it"
Jie was truly astounded by the words Lifen spoke.
What was that mean?
What actually did she mean? She is the evidence. The evidence that can prove all her words lie.
"You...what do you mean by that? Don't say just because you will say these things, Brother Ming and the world will believe it? You can't be so gullible to think so. You...", Jie said with a mockery laugh but her laughter was short lived as she witnessed the smile playing on Lifen's lips.
"You really know how to mold the facts according to your wish Ms.Long"
At this moment, something struck in Jie's brain. Her eyes got widened in shock. If what she is thinking turned to be true then she must be....
Her face instantly turned pale, "You...you...you can't be the one I am thinking".
"..."there was no acceptance rather it was just a smile that confirmed Jie's words and thoughts.
"You are the girl from his childhood. No...no this can't be. This can't be. You must be lying. It's not possible ", she instantly got into a panic state.
If anyone saw her like this, they would definitely think that she has gone insane to behave in such manner. The air of arrogance she was holding when arrived has long disappeared.
"I won't say anything to you. It's up to you. If you want to accept then accept or just leave it the way you th hink. But mark my words, I won't go easy on you if you continue the way you are now", she paused to give a warning look to her.
"The rumours you have created are the ones that should go off. I don't know when and how but I want you to clear everything out winthin three days or else don't blame me afterwards. I have enough of your blaming eyes, it really disgust me now", she looked disdainfully and added, "All your pains are brought over you by yourself so stop blaming others "
Saying this she left the room without casting amother glance ro her. But not before warning her about the rumours again. Her words were so sharp and firm that it made Jie shiver.
If she really revealed that the rumours were all created by her, won't that make her die. It will all same as sucide.
But the tone earlier used by Lifen was still echoing in her ears. If she was really the that little girl then sooner or later she will definitely be facing the worst.
***
Lifen was already very much exhausted. Now looking back, she felt the way she behaved with Long Jie was a kind of childish.
She easily lost her calm and composed air when Jie claimed Deming as her own. Thinking about all this, a smile covered her lips while eyes got closed shut with some embarrassment.
Deming has really become a strong factor affecting her emotions and attitude greatly. She won't point him as her strength or weakness just like that, rather call him the catalytic agent that always deepens the emotions stirring in her heart.
Thinking of the devil in her thoughts, she heard her phone ring. It was some private number that's calling her. She ignored the call at first but it rang again.
"Hello? Who is this?", she asked as she picked up the call.
"I thought you would have saved my contact in your phonebook. I seems I have boasted myself too high", the person from other side responded.
