Spring lovers: We who are inseperable

Chapter 166: Last Night (2)

"I personally, on the orders of Mr. Li, had locked Miss Yang in Mr. Li's room, and also I was with Mr. Li most of the night. He has not slept with anyone. Rather, Mr. Li's friend had found him when he was drugged and gave him the antidote himself." 

Listening to this, Madam Li and Li Qiang were dumbfounded, whereas Yang Sying was in no place to say anything. 

"What? But Sying said that you and she had spent the night together," Madam Li mumbled as her face showed confusion. 

Li Qiang who was quiet since the beginning, spoke now, "Then if what Secretary Mu saying is true, that means Yang Sying is lying."

Beads of sweat were forming on the forehead of Yang Sying, her hands were shaking, she looked similar to a criminal suspect of a crime. 

Without wasting time, she said, "N-No! He must have been confused. I was with brother Li last night. We spent the time together, it wasn't his fault. It was my fault that I let the drunk me be swayed. Secretary Mu, you must have been confused," Yang Sying with a pitiful expression turned towards Mu Shufen who was standing behind Li Wei like a statue. 

"Yeah, Sying is a good child. She can never lie for something like this. Secretary Mu must be confused," Madam Li said, as she backed up Yang Sying. 

Never in her million dreams, she could imagine that Yang Sying would lie to her regarding this matter. As someone who had been friends with her mother since she was little, it was most likely impossible for her to predict that the daughter of her beloved friend would do this to her. 

She was with Yang Sying until she was thirteen years of age, but then parted with her best friend and her daughter when they shifted to Korea. 

After some calls for months, it was as if the memories of her had faded away, but suddenly, two months ago, a phone call came which renewed their contact. 

Talking and talking, the word finally came to their kids, and thus, the idea of getting both their children together came to their minds, and without any thinking, she decided to make Yang Sying, Li Wei's fiance. 

But what had happened together, made Liu Roulan question her own ability to differentiate between right and wrong. 

"I am sorry, but I am not confused at all. I, in my pure consciousness, had witnessed all this happening," Mu Shufen announced. 

"I have full faith in Secretary Mu. He won't lie about something like this," Li Wei announced. 

Yang Sying bit her lip, and said, "I am sorry! I accept that I lied!" 

Li Wei and Mu Shufen were startled at this sudden confession, they did not expect her to confess so soon, whereas Li Qiang and Madam Li were shocked at this. 

Li Qiang had no expectations from Yang Sying and so with just a smirk, and shaking his head, he averted his gaze to his wife standing in front of him because probably she was the one in there who will be most affected by Yang Sying's lie. 

"I-Is this true, Yang Sying? Did you lie to me?" Madam Li said, with a cold voice, that was the exact opposite of how she talked with her. 

"Y-Yes, Aunt Li. I lied, but I did it only because I love brother Li! I was on my way to brother Li's room to check on him, but he was not there, and I was locked in the room. I came out with the help of a staff member. A-And because he won't remember anything, I thought I can make him marry me like this. I-I was sick of his ignorance towards me! I love him, I could not wait anymore! Please forgive me!" Yang Sying said as tears started to roll down her cheeks. 

Madam Li did not say a word, she remained silent, it was not something she could answer by words. 

"How do you know, I was drugged? I don't remember telling you that I am drugged," Li Wei suddenly said, and the attention was drifted to Yang Sying. 

"T-That because-"

Before Yang Sying could say anything, Li Wei interrupted in between and said, "Wasn't it because you were the one who drugged me?" 

"W-What?" N-No, believe me, brother Li! I did not drug you!" Yang Sying exclaimed. 

"I don't believe you," Li Wei announced. 

"T-There has been a misunderstanding, I-,"

Li Wei interrupting Yang Sying said, "Misunderstanding? Mu Shufen, bring something, or rather someone who will clear this misunderstanding." 

On listening to this, Yang Sying was surprised. 

'What is it? W-What will-' Yang Sying before she could think of anything else, was shown something that she would have never want to witness. 

Before her was a man, a very familiar man. 

"Who is this, Li Wei?" Li Qiang asked about seeing an unfamiliar man in front of them. 

"This is the person who mixed the drug in my drink," Li Wei said, as he gestured the guards to bring the man forth. 

Listening to the description of the man, Madam Li and Li Qiang looked at the man with disgust and disdain, whereas Yang Sying stood dumbfounded.

Before anyone could anything, Yang Sying rushed up to that man and gave him a slap, she said, "H-How dare you to do something like that to brother Li?"

"You are just a lowly person, how can you do something this scheming to Brother Li?" Yang Sying again repeated the words, as she grabbed that man's collar. 

But her eyes were saying a different story. Or more than that, it said, 'Don't take my name.' 

She was going to slap the man one more time when Li Wei caught her hand. 

"B-Brother Li, he should be punished for doing to do something so cheap with you!" Yang Sying exclaimed.

Li Wei instead f saying anything, threw her hand with a force, that made Yang Sying step back. 

"There is no need for that. I will look into it," Li Wei said, as his cold voice, suddenly made way to everyone's ears, that gave not only Yang Sying, but everyone present there chills down their spines. 

"You b*tch! How can you be so f*cking cheat? You were the one who told me to mix the drugs in the glass of this man so that he can sleep with you! You promised me that you will give me money, but you did not give it," the man said, to be more precise shouted. 

Hearing the man's words, Madam Li was dumbfounded, as she came into reality, she felt as if her heart was pierced by daggers, ruthlessly. 

'Is this how you feel when someone close to you, whom you had trusted, betrays you?' 

She questioned herself. And within a minute an answer came, 'Yes, it is!' 

How much it was a fact that it was true that Yang Sying was guilty, it was also true that Madam Li was also the one to be blamed. 

If she had not to blind trusted Yang Sying she wouldn't have been hurt so badly. If only she had not decided to entrust Li Wei to Yang Sying, it wouldn't have happened. 

As Madam Li was endorsed in self-guilt, Yang Sying on the other side was panicking. Her truth had been discovered and at any moment she can be kicked out of the house, and if it happens her plan will fail miserably, and no way will those people leave her unscathed. 

Suddenly as if she had realized something, she went to Madam Li, who was standing still in front of her. 

Madam Li, who was standing, felt as if someone tugged her sleeve, she turned around to see that Yang Sying, with a teary and pitiful face, stood there. 

For the first time, looking at this face, Madam Li felt disgusted, she could not bear to see at Yang Sying anymore. 

"Aunt Li, he is lying! Someone must have asked him to say my name. The one who had originally drugged brother Li. H-He is lying! People must be jealous of me-"

PHAK

A large sound was heard in the hall which echoed through the room. 

Before Yang Sying could continue further, she felt a strong force on her cheek, which almost made her trip and land on the floor. As she landed on the floor, it took her time to realize what had happened. 

Keeping her hand in the cheek that was stinging, Yang Sying bit her lip hard. 

'She slapped me' Yang Sying processed what had happened. 

Madam Li looked at the young woman who was on the floor, with disgust and disdain. 

"I could not believe that you were the child that I had trusted for so long," Madam Li said, with a cold and sad voice. When seen closer, in the eyes that were filled with coldness, there were tears. 

"A-Aunt Li, I am sorry. It was not my intention, I just did it because I loved him! Yes, only in the name of love!" Yang Sying said as she stood up. 

"Shut up! Hearing the word, 'love' from your mouth, insults this word!" Madam Li lashed at the person standing in front of her.
