Chapter 246 A friend's pain
Leng Shao stared at the wall as the disgust and anger of Su Bei flashed across his eyes. He gulped down the beer he was holding. It felt like soone was squeezing his beating heart.
Never in his wildest dreams did he think sothing like this will happen.
No wonder Wang Lu was so sure that he had been sleeping with his wife. The video was so real and there is no way to debunk that it's fake.
Who—who can do sothing like this? Even though he secretly loved Yan i he would never sleep with her. He values his friendship with her more than everything.
Now soone is taking advantage of this to tarnish her image. Was she okay? Did her husband believe her or like Wang Lu threw her out to the house?
Leng Shao heaved a sigh. The dia has been crowding over his house for days. Fortunately he didn't go ho. He hopes Yan i is also okay. He wanted to call and check up on her but he was afraid of her reaction.
Will she think that he did that? Leng Shao gulped down more beer as his thoughts went haywire.
The scene of the video kept playing in his head. The woman's moans and voice sounded so much like Yan i. If he didn't know her or was not part of the video he would also believe the video.
Who could imitate soone so easily? Leng Shao furrowed his brows as he fell into a deep thought.
Suddenly a face popped up in his mind.
Wang Lu quickly shook his head. Even though she looked like Yan i and will imitate her once a while to prank others she will never do anything to hurt Yan i.
Leng Shao was confident that whoever did this was an expert and it will be difficult to find faults. Even a powerful man like his father couldn't find any clues about the person who leaked the video or made the video.
Leng Shao was sure this video is connected to everything that happened five years ago. Once they find out who made the video or the people in the video, everything will be revealed.
He placed his bottle of beer on the table and picked up his phone. After entering a series of numbers, he pressed the call button and waited for the person to pick up the call.
"Sir…" Leng Shao's secretary said the mont the call was connected. His voice was filled with fatigue. Clearly he was stressed out over all this issue.
The dia has been crowding all over their company and the shareholders have been calling nonstop. With the boss not around to oversee things everything was falling apart.
Today has been the most stressful day in his life since he started working.
"How are things?" Leng Shao squeezed his brows as he asked his secretary. He had recently gotten a deal and he was afraid this scandal would affect his business.
"Bad Sir. The shareholders have been calling non-stop. They want to et you."
Leng Shao ran his hands through his hair and blew out air.
"Hmm... anything else?"
"Yes, the managent team is suggesting you do a press conference to explain things."
Leng Shao's face contorted with a frown when he heard him.
If he speaks on this matter, Yan i's image will damage more. Since society always blas the woman when sothing like this happens.
"No….I won't do any press conference."
"But Sir…."
"End of discussion. Tell the shareholders that I will be having a eting with them tomorrow."
The secretary clearly wanted to convince Leng Shao to do the press conference but he knew better than to argue with his boss.
"Alright Sir."
Leng Shao hung up the phone and laid on the bed while staring at the ceiling. He had no idea on how he was going to convince the shareholders that the video was fake.
He hopes everything will be okay. The sound of his phone ringing snapped him out of his thoughts.
Leng Shao looked at the caller ID and sighed.
"Mom…"
"Leng Shao….are you okay? Is Feng i okay? What happened? What is that video that the dia is talking about? How did it get leaked?"
The worried voice of his mother sounded at the other side of the phone once the phone got connected.
Leng Shao heaved a sigh.
"Mom….I'm fine don't worry. I don't know about Yan i but I'm sure her husband will take care of this. Believe I'm not the person in the video. You believe right?"
"...." Silence filled the other side of the phone as Leng Shao waited for his mother's reply.
"Mom…" Leng Shao felt his heart racing in his chest as he waited for his mother's reply. He can bear everyone's distrust but not his mother's.
"Leng Shao….don't you like Feng i? You have liked her all these years—"
"Mom! Are you doubting ?" Leng Shao asked, pain evident in his voice.
"No-no I'm not. Of course I know the person in the video is not you. My son will never do this."
Leng Shao let go of the breath he was holding. He would really be hurt if his mother had doubted him.
"But the video is so real. Who could do sothing like this? Have you offended soone lately? Should I co to City S?" Leng Shao's mother asked. Clearly as a mother she was worried about her son.
"No mom. I'm fine. Dad is helping solve things here. I'm sure we will get to the bottom of this soon."
"Alright take care! I love you!"
"Love you too mom."
Leng Shao said as he hung up the call.
Mrs. Leng looked at the phone in her hands and a glint of light passed through her eyes.
How did the video get leaked? No...Who recorded that video in the first place. For so weird reason she couldn't help but get scared.
She took a deep breath and shook her head. Everything will be okay. It has to be.
**************
"Su Bei, are you okay?" You have locked yourself in your room the mont you ca back from the launching. Weren't you going to be introduced as the vice president of the company? Did sothing happen?"
Jun Cha asked her daughter who was lying on the bed. She hadn't been out of her room since she ca back from the launch. She hasn't even removed her dress.
She was wearing the gown she had worn to the gala. Her makeup was sared on her face and her eyes were puffy. Clearly from crying.
The last ti she saw Su Bei like this was when her father left them.
"Su Bei….say sothing. I-I" A series of coughs interrupted Jun Cha.
Su Bei sat up when she heard her mother coughing.
"Mom,are you okay?" Su Bei asked, concern evident in her tone.
Jun Cha forced out a smile and nodded. She knew her body better. She knew she didn't have enough ti left but she didn't want to worry her daughter.
Before she leaves she wants to see her daughter happy and well off. Every mother wants what is best for their child and she was no different.
"Hmmm….I'm fine. Now tell Mom what's wrong." Jun Cha cupped Su Bei's cheeks as she caressed it gently."
Looking at the soft look in her mother's eyes. Su Bei couldn't help but break down again. She threw herself in her mother's arms as she cried out.
"Oh my baby….what is wrong? Tell mummy. Is it a boy? Has a boy hurt my dear daughter?"
Su Bei shook her head aggressively as she hugged her mother tighter. Nothing can beat a mother's warmth.
"Then what's wrong? Did sothing happen at work? Are you sick? Tell . I'm worried."
"I- For the first ti I liked soone but he-he….."
Sobs racked through Su Bei as she tried to calm down. It hurts so much. She never knew heartbreak can hurt like this. It's like soone was stepping on her heart and internal organs. She was bleeding inside and she couldn't even scream out.
"What did he do dear? Tell ." Jun Cha furrowed her brows as she asked. She knew because of her sickness, her daughter hasn't had ti for relationships because she was busy taking care of her but now that she liked a guy it seems sothing really bad has happened.
"Mom….he-he likes my best friend not . All this while I-I thought he liked . I even envisioned our future together."
Su Bei let out a humorless laugh as she wiped away her tears. She pulled away from her mother and stared at her fingers.
Jun Cha knitted her brows together.
"Your best friend? Who? Yan i?"
Su Bei played with her fingers and nodded.
"Yes Mom. He likes her not . Why mom–why? Now I don't know what to do. What should I do mom?"
