Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Zhao YaʼEr rushes in the direction of the spa locker room after hearing Zhou Jinglei explain the situation. She didnʼt get a clear explanation of what happened, but it was better to check on her friend and sister-in-law first.

Arriving at the spa locker room, she pushes the door open. Her head pokes out from behind the door and she scans the place for Yue Ling.

”Yue-yue, is everything alright?”

She spoke in a voice not too loud and not too quiet. She did this because Zhou Jinglei said Yue Ling had to make a phone call. So not sure if it might be work related, she could only speak this way not to disturb the phone call.

However, no one answered her.

Zhao YaʼEr pout her lips and enters the room. She walks towards their lockers as Yue Ling might not have heard her since it was in the back.

”Yue—”

”YaʼEr? Is that you?”

She calls out to Yue Ling again, but before she could finish the personʼs name, her body froze at the sudden voice.

It wasnʼt Yue Lingʼs angelic voice, but a voice she is very familiar with. She curse inside as she didnʼt want to see this person at all.

Zhao YaʼEr didnʼt answer the question, so the person peeps out from behind the second row of lockers.

Seeing that it is her, the womanʼs eyes lit up and her entire figure steps into view with a light clap of her hands.

”Ah! YaʼEr it is you!”

Zhao YaʼEr stares indifferently at the woman. Her expression at this moment makes one confirm that she is indeed Lu Tianʼs cousin.

She clench her fists tightly and her eyes flash with a murderous glint.

”Ning Mei.”

The rookie model had just finished changing and was about to leave when she heard Zhao YaʼErʼs voice. She puts on her innocent façade and steps into view despite the hatred that can be seen in Zhao YaʼErʼs eyes.

She wore a purple plaid jacket and skirt set with black stockings and black heels. Her height was shorter, but with the added inches from her heels and Zhao YaʼEr wearing spa slippers, she stood at the same height. However, she didnʼt forget to slightly raise her chin to make her appear taller.

She smiles a friendly smile and takes a step forward. She went from cunning to a sweet and innocent person within seconds.

”Why didnʼt you tell me you were also coming here? If I had known, we could have come together.”

The second Ning Mei took a step forward, Zhao YaʼEr took a step back. She watched the woman put on an obvious façade and she scoffs in ridicule. She cannot believe how thick Ning Meiʼs skin is.

”Weʼre not friends.”

The despicable woman had just sent her a disgusting photo and now she wants to pretend like nothing happened and she is the most innocent person ever?

Someone should really slap the rookie modelʼs face with an award for being a great actress and a backstabbing friend.

”Ning Mei, who are you talking to?”

From behind the row of lockers Ning Mei had stepped out from, another womanʼs voice interrupts them. She steps into view wearing a blue dress with white heels.

When she saw who Ning Mei was talking to, she gasp a smile in surprise. However, one can see the mockery in her eyes.

”Oh my. I was wondering who you were talking to. I didnʼt expect us to run into YaʼEr.”

Zhao YaʼEr gave the woman a foul look. They were not close enought for her (woman) to address her (Zhao YaʼEr) by her name. However, unlike Zhao YaʼEr, Ning Mei looks at the woman. She kept an innocent appearance and smiles.

”Wenli, donʼt worry. Thereʼs been a little misunderstanding.”

Looking back at Zhao YaʼEr, she kept her smile and takes another step forward.

”YaʼEr, donʼt say that we are not friends. I cannot bear to be hated by you.”

She reach a hand to hold Zhao YaʼErʼs arm and her words continue.

”Letʼs forget that you said anything. Wenli and I are going to have lunch, do you want to join us?”

Zhao YaʼEr scoffs in disgust at the woman. Seeing Ning Meiʼs hand reaching out for her, she slightly tilt to the side to dodge it and walks away.

”I donʼt want to be friends with neither of you.”

”YaʼEr, wait!”

Ning Mei puts on a panic expression and grabs Zhao YaʼErʼs arm. Her lower lip trembles and she lowers her head to make others feel sympathy for her.

”Are you angry because… because of the photo?”

She spoke in the softest voice she could make then looks up with tears in her eyes. Any person who did not know her would no doubt take her side.

”Itʼs not what you think. Hongyi and I were drunk that night, but nothing happened between us.”

Her words were full of regret like she didnʼt want to lose her best friend, but deep down, she was cursing Zhao YaʼEr to death. How can Wei Hongyi be so desperate for someone so stupid like Zhao YaʼEr?

She (Ning Mei) has been sleeping with the man since he and Zhao YaʼEr broke up. However, no matter how many women he is with, Hongyi can never get over her (Zhao YaʼEr).

Zhao YaʼEr glares at Ning Mei. She inhales sharply and yank her arm away.

”Youʼre disgusting Ning Mei.”

However, just as Zhao YaʼEr free her arm from the woman, Ning Mei quickly grabs hold of her arm again. This time she didnʼt forget to tighten her grip.

Knowing that Zhao YaʼEr is angry inside, Ning Mei decides to add more oil to the fuel. She leans closer to the woman and a sinister smile curls on her face making her look like an evil witch.

She didnʼt want Ni Wenli to hear her, so she spoke in a quiet voice that only Zhao YaʼEr could hear.

”Heʼs really amazing in bed. Every time we do it, he would always tell me how much he loves me.”

Itʼs true he is one of her best sex partners, but it was lie when she said he tells her that he loves her. Not only that, there were many times when Hongyi would call Zhao YaʼErʼs name while they were doing it. However, she will never tell Zhao YaʼEr.

A malevolent sneer curls on her lip and her words continue.

”The last time we did it, we didnʼt leave the room for three days. He even told me he never loved you.”

”Shut up!!”

Zhao YaʼEr had heard enough. She bellows out in anger at the disgusting words she was hearing. Her free hand raise, and she slaps Ning Mei hard across the face.

Not expecting the slap, Ning Mei yelp a cry and stumble back before slamming against the lockers with a long bang that echoes inside the room.

Zhao YaʼEr clench her fists tightly to the point her nails were digging through her skin. She needed to calm down or else she would really kill Ning Mei.

Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she growls at Ning Mei.

”Since youʼre so desperate for him, go find him. A slut and a scum are perfect for each other.”

Ni Wenli gasp in shock at what just happened. All she saw was Ning Mei trying to apologize to Zhao YaʼEr. Instead of Zhao YaʼEr accepting the apology, how did the situation turn into a fight?

She quickly rush to Ning Mei and help the pitiful woman up.

”Ning Mei, are you alright?”

Being helped up, Ning Mei was fueling with rage inside. However, not wanting her innocent image to be ruined in front of Ni Wengli, she chokes a sob.

”YaʼEr, I donʼt know what I did wrong, but why do you have to slander me? I thought we were friends, why did you have to treat me to so cruelly?”

*Clap clap clap

Zhao YaʼEr parted her lips to retaliate the disgusting womanʼs words, but before she could utter a word, a faint clap echoes inside the room, then an angelic voice spoke.

”Oh my, what an interesting show.”

Hearing the voice that sent a wave of relief inside her, Zhao YaʼEr looks in the direction of the voice. It was as if her knight in shiny amor had arrive to save her.

”Yue-Yue…”

Yue Ling was on the phone with Lu Tian as she decided to ignore the two voices. However, when she heard the sudden bang and Zhao YaʼErʼs voice, she quickly ended the call with Lu Tian.

Seeing that Zhao YaʼEr was fine, she looks at the other two women she had ignored since their arrival.

One end of her lip curls upward into a smirk. She looked so seductive, yet at the same time, everything about her gave an aura that someone is going to die.

As the saying goes, enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. So, today must be one of those days.
