Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 137 - Overwhelming Moments

Chapter 137 - Overwhelming Moments

Moments have the ability to spellbind. Those moments hold so many emotions and feelings that they leave us in a state where we're not even sure about what we really are feeling. But those feelings are unfretted. Happiness... Pain... Guilt... Surprise... Shame... Fear... All these emotions intermingled to create an overwhelming sense of emotions.

"Zelie!" Ye Jie called her name softly making her blink her eyes with an effort. Azalea tried to open her mouth to say something but her parched throat felt like needles were p.r.i.c.kling it. Ye Jie noticed her struggle and poured her a gla.s.s of water and helped her take a sip with a straw. She felt the cold sensation of water gush down her body making a cooling sensation wash over her.

Ye Jie kept staring at her face when he saw her trying to lift her hand. He instantly held her hand in his own and didn't realize that a tear had betrayed his restraint and fell down on his cheek. "Ge," She tried to speak in her hoa.r.s.e voice. "If you kept crying, how will I call you my strongest brother?"

Ye Jie smiled affectionately at her and wiped his tear. "Ge is just too happy to see you awake." He said. "Ge-Ge is really sorry. If I didn't leave that day-" He couldn't continue any further. He felt her fingers trying to press on his hand and lifted his eyes to look at her.

"Ge, I don't blame you for that," She took a pause and added, "Instead, I am so glad that it was I who got in that accident and not you." Ye Jie hugged her small delicate figure and didn't know what to say to her.

"I met your parents today." He told her.

"Ge they are your-" Before she could continue, Ye Jie interrupted her.

"Let's talk about it when you're absolutely fine." He caressed her cheek. "Sleep for a while. Ge will be right beside you." She nodded as fatigue was wearing her down. She closed her eyes to relax. Talking for just this much time was extremely difficult to her. But she needed to tell her brother that she never can blame him for anything. She needed to talk to him even more but her body didn't allow it.

At this moment, looking at her sleeping peacefully with a faint smile on her lips, Ye Jie felt relaxation engulf his heart. He felt at peace. He realized that there was no moment to describe beautiful moments, they were just beautiful. Because those moments have so many unforgettable memories and feelings that it's hard to describe them in words. These kinds of moments are meant to be cherished.

His phone's ring broke his daze and he answered the call to hear an anxious voice. "Ah Jie! Where are you? Are you alright?" He smiled when he heard the concern in Xu Mey's voice.

"Sorry to scare you like this, baby. I'm fine. Actually, I'm more than fine. I'm with Azalea. I'll come to pick you up in the evening." Xu Mey's heaved a sigh of relief when she heard his deep voice br.i.m.m.i.n.g with strange tranquility.

"I'll wait for you then." She replied and heard him softly humming. "Hmm."

He rubbed the back of Azalea's hand and whispered, "Get better soon, Zelie. I have to introduce you to your strange and a bit crazy sister-in-law. I promise you'll love her." He chuckled to himself. "I believe you'll be able to befriend her with your nature. She's an amazing person. Scary at times and adorable at other times." He sighed heavily. "Although I don't know much about her past; I still have fallen for her. She has given me the real sense of love and I couldn't help but loving her shattered self."

Meanwhile, after the Xu Enterprises' shareholder meeting, Xu Cheng was seething with fury. He arrived at the Xu Residence with Fu Lan where his father Xu Chuan was already waiting for him.

The scene he witnessed when he entered the house was of his father, Xu Chuan slapping Xu Liqing fiercely. Due to the powerful impact of his slap, Xu Liqing fell to the ground and tears started flowing down her face. Fu Lan ran up to her daughter and held her shoulders. "Father, this is not the way to deal with this matter. We can talk about it. There has to be a mistake somewhere." Fu Lan tried to appease the situation but it further intensified Xu Chuan's anger.

"Mistake?" He snarled. "What kind of mistake there can be? When your daughter drowned the Jade Stones because of her incompetence, I overlooked it. But now," He gave a vicious look to both mother and daughter. "She's involved in drugs and that's a huge shame to our family name. The people who never dared to look at me twice pa.s.sed me such disgusting looks today just because of this inept daughter of yours."

Xu Liqing whimpered pitifully while her body shook. Her cheek was swelling up as well and the stream of tears was still flowing. "Grandfather!" She choked on her words. "It was all Xu Mey's fault. I didn't do anything. She was there at the Vintage." Fu Lan's eyes flashed with shock when she heard her daughter's words.

"Humph!" Grandfather Xu gave her a disdainful look. "Blame all you want to on Xiao Mey. After all, you are just like your mother." Both Fu Lan and Xu Liqing looked at him with wide eyes. "Once your mother tricked my son into sleeping with her and today, you plan to ruin Xiao Mey's image just to get her husband. Do you think I don't know what goes on in both of your scheming minds?"

Father Xu Cheng just lowered his head not saying anything. Even if it was true that Fu Lan tricked him back then but he couldn't deny that Xu Liqing was his daughter. As for Xu Mey, sigh. He didn't want to think about her at all. Getting Xu Mey married into a nice family was the last thing he could bear to do for her.

"Father, you should calm down. Your blood pressure will flare up." Father Xu Cheng helped his father to sit on the fabric sofa. "Bring some water for the Elder Master." He bellowed to get the housemaids attention.

Today, Fu Lan lost her seat as the CEO and she still couldn't understand how it happened. She had bribed so many people for all these years and yet they betrayed her at the moment of crisis. Also, she took extra care in concealing Xu Liqing's drug habits but it still was revealed. How?

She pulled her daughter to a side and asked, "Are you sure you saw Xu Mey at that Vintage?"

Xu Liqing replied in between sobs. "Yes, mom. That bit*h is President Xu." She shook her head. "No... She just played me. I know she did. How did she get to Vintage? I don't know. But she surely was the one, I was trying to hit."

Fu Lan rubbed her back to soothe her and said, "Leave it to Mommy. I'll see what that wretch is trying to achieve."

Fu Lan contacted someone and ordered them. "Find out about President Xu and her relations.h.i.+p with Xu Mey."
