Unexpected Second Chance at Love

An entire day pass as another day came to Imperial. However, unlike the calm day before, everyone was in a commotion at the sudden news that surface.

It wasn’t only one news, but two.

The first one was the sudden reveal about CNJ Entertainment’s CEO, Yeun Biao. Someone had sent the man’s secret affairs to not only one media company, but to all the media companies in Imperial.

While everyone was in shock about the affair Yeun Biao was having with his models, his wife of 30 years return home and file for divorce with full custody over their children.

However, before the news could even calm down, another news was released that shocked everyone in Imperial more than ever.

”I can’t believe this at all. Ning Mei is such a shameless woman. She looked so innocent, but to think she would do anything to climb the ladder.”

”Who is Ning Mei? What happened to her?”

”What? How can you know who she is? She’s the rookie model who opened the show for An Qing during the Fall Fashion Show.”

”I read in the news article that she is the main mistress of Yeun Biao. Their affair triggered his wife to file for divorce, but that wasn’t all of it. The media released photos of Ning Mei spending an entire night with some beggars.”

”Even if her manager tries to cover up this mess, her modeling career is over.”

A group of young women gossip to one another as they made their way to work. Never did any of them think that someone who looked so innocent like Ning Mei would turn out to be such a disgusting woman.

While Imperial submerge into an uproar over the two shocking news that connected together, there was another commotion taking place at Peony Villa.

However, it wasn’t at the Lu family house but at the Ning family house.

Inside the living room of the luxurious house, a loud and thunderous slap echoes as the palm of a person hits against the skin of another person.

”Ah!”

Ning Mei shrieks in pain as she falls down from the sofa and sits on the floor. She lifts her hand to cover her cheek that had been slapped by her mother and cries loudly.

”You unfilial child! How can you bring such disgrace to your family?!”

Standing over Ning Mei was a middle-aged woman. She looked elegant and wore a bright red dress, but her expression at this moment was in outrage and one can see the disgust in her eyes.

Her nostrils flare with her heavy breathing and she raise her hand to give her daughter another slap on the face.

”I didn’t give birth to you for you to bring shame upon this family!”

”Mother, calm down.”

From the side, Ning Xingyu spoke in a soft voice to calm his mother down. He approach her and place a hand on her back with gentle soothing strokes.

He lowers his head and looks down at Ning Mei. His expression was calm, but his eyes held the same disgusting aura as his mother.

”Why did you do something so shameful? When you insisted on becoming a model, mother and father were against it, but you were so persistent that you even ignored their words and ran off to live on your own. Now that you are in this mess, you expect us to clean up after you?”

His words fell and he could feel all the blood inside him boil. He and Ning Mei may share the same blood and parents, but their life choices are by far different. He may have done a lot of bad things in the dark, but he isn’t so stupid to get caught.

However, as she is his only sibling, he could only sigh aloud and helps his mother sit down.

”Even if I were to help you, it’s already too late since the media released the photos with your face in view.”

Hearing her older brother’s words, Ning Mei abruptly looks up at him. Her eyes were read from crying since early in the morning and she clench her fists tightly.

”Those pictures are fake! Nothing happened like it shows!”

Madam Ning had only sat for less than a minute when she scoffs in disbelief at her daughter. She stood up from her seat and yank Ning Mei up by the arm.

”Fake? Then what about all these bruises marks on your body? Anyone who sees them can already tell what had happened to you!”

She shoves Ning Mei down onto the sofa and her tears fell down her cheeks out of intense anger.

”How can you still say that nothing happened to you? When you were sent home last night, you were in a complete mess. You didn’t even have any clothes on but an envelope containing those filthy photos.”

Ning Mei’s lower lip trembles with her entire body at her mother’s words. She was unable to hold her tears back and let them fall down as she looks up at her mother.

”Ma, nothing happened. Why won’t you believe me?”

*Slap—!

Just when she finished her last word, Ning Xingyu was unable to hold back anymore and slaps a stack of photos at her face.

The photos scatters onto the floor and Ning Mei’s eyes widen in horror. The photos were mostly of her with different beggars as they toy with her all night long.

However, what shook her the most was the only photo that landed on her lap.

It wasn’t of her with a beggar but of her with Director Yeun. A photo that had been captured from outside the window on the night she was kidnapped.

Her lower lip trembles uncontrollably before she frantically shakes her head.

”No… No! No! No!!”

She grabs the side of her head and pulls her hair like she was trying to rip them out of her scalp.

”This is all a lie!!”

She knew what was coming her way, but she did not think that her affair with Director Yeun would be revealed as well. How is she supposed to live her life now?
