Inside a room on the third floor of Fate, the sound of laughter rings as Yue Ling chatted away with Qin Yi and Fei Tao.
They had so much to tell each other as it has been a long ti.
Yue Ling sat on one couch as she wipes her tears from laughing too hard at Fei Tao’s jokes. She stares at the two people seated across from her and her entire being softens.
In the past, Qin Yi would often visit her to see how she is doing. The middle-aged woman was and still is like a mother figure to her as she lost her parents at a young age.
As for Fei Tao, he is like a younger brother to her. The last ti she saw him, he was leaving overseas to settle so family matters. Since he is back in Imperial, it can only an everything must have been taken care of.
"Yue Ling, if you do not mind, may I ask why you are looking for Chu Li Xiang?"
Qin Yi couldn’t help but ask once she had calm down from laughing. When it was said that Fate had returned to the underworld, even she was surprise.
Especially when Yue Ling ntioned that the person she is after is none other than Chu Li Xiang.
However, she (Yue Ling) didn’t really say why.
Hearing the middle-aged woman, Fei Tao looks at Yue Ling and he wore an expression of wanting to know the reason too.
He had only returned to Imperial not too long ago and was suddenly given the ssage for this eting.
"Sothing must have happened for you to hold this eting. No matter what it is, my Black Jade will always be on your side."
He gives her a stern expression to let her know that he is serious about what he said.
Yue Ling stares at the two people without answering. However, quickly thinking about sothing, she decides to tell them. After all, they were two of the few people she trusted in the underworld.
However, before she part her lips to speak, her bluish green eyes glance to Anita and Dina who were standing behind Qin Yi.
She didn’t say anything, but Qin Yi knew what the expression on her face ant. Her head slightly turn to the side.
"Wait for in the car."
Both won glance at one another. They wanted to stay to make sure their boss will be alright, but knowing they cannot go against her words, they gesture a bow and turn to walk out the door.
Even when her two subordinates had left the room, Qin Yi waited until the sound of their footsteps were away in a good distance.
Turning her attention to Yue Ling, she gives the young woman a nod as if to indicate it was safe to speak.
Yue Ling sighs a smile thankfully to the woman for giving them so privacy.
Anita and Dina were individuals Qin Yi trusts wholeheartedly, but that doesn’t an she trusts them. She cannot be sure they will keep this secret since they are unfamiliar to her.
For, only a few people knows.
Taking a deep breath, her right hand slowly moves to the front of her and she place her palm on her stomach. The tiny bump that was once there had already disappeared.
Usually when she touch her stomach, she would feel like the happiest person in the world, but now, she felt empty. It was like a part of her had vanished from the world.
As she thought this, a vaguely rembers the face of little boy in her dream.
A very small smile curls on her lip, but one can see the pain in her eyes.
"He took soone very important to ."
The space between Fei Tao’s brows slightly crease. He couldn’t make out what she ant, but Qin Yi did. She saw the way Yue Ling caress her stomach and it was sothing any woman will understand.
"You an, he... that lowlife actually dare to..."
Others know that she doesn’t have any children, but truthfully, in the past, she too was pregnant. However, due to misfortune, the day she lost her husband, she also lost their child.
Like it was not enough, the doctors told her that she could not have children anymore.
Rembering a small mont of her own past, her eyes shook as they turned moist.
n will never understand the pain of losing an unborn child as much as won. For n, they will grief for a short period of ti, but for won, that grieving pain stays within no matter how long ti passes.
Yue Ling force a very faint smile and nods her head. If anyone can understand her feelings, then it is Qin Yi.
"He murdered my unborn child."
Saying this, she went on to tell them about the night of the incident and the despicable man’s escape.
She made sure no details were left out and she made sure to express how much she loath the man for what he did.
As Yue Ling recounts what had happened, the hallway outside turned into silence. Liu Shan walks out from the eting room as he straighten his sleeves into place.
Slightly turning his head to look back inside the room, he scoffs a chuckle.
"Be thankful I didn’t kill you or allow anyone here to do so."
Gao Jie’s figure was now laying on the floor on his stomach. One can see he is still alive but nears death’s door.
Ever since Yue Ling gave her approval, Liu Shan had beaten the living hell out of the obese man.
The retribution of one hit on the head by a glass bottle turned into one hundred punches and kicks.
Throughout the entire ti he was being treated like a punching bag, his two n couldn’t even help. Each person had to watch since Qi Li and Gui Tian Lan were blocking them.
Liu Shan takes a step forward but stops and looks down at the obese man who is laying on the floor.
"If sothing like this happens again, I will not let you off. Even if I have to hunt you down, I will find you and when I do, I will kill you and sell every part of your insides in the black market."
His expression flash in disgust before he retrieve his gaze and continues on in the hallway.
If he wanted to, he wouldn’t have shown rcy on the idiotic man, but they still have use for him. So for now, he will let the man live until the ti cos.
Walking down the hallway to find his boss, he walks pass a window and his steps slows down. Turning to look outside, he sees Tao ng with Steward Yang near the gate entrance.
From the looks of it, the man must have kept his words, since he and his n are bowing politely to the elderly man.
As Liu Shan stares down from the window, his mind drifted into the unknown. Since the start of the eting, he didn’t pay any attention to the bulky man until a while ago.
He found out not too long ago that Red Moon’s forr leader passed away and the position was passed down to the nephew. However, never did he think the new leader would be him (Tao ng).
Like the man outside had sense the assistant’s gaze, Tao ng glance up to the window. Their eyes et and he politely nods his head in greeting.
Liu Shan casually returns a nod. Turning away, he continues on through the hallway.
That man is the sa person he saw outside Ling Ni’s apartnt and the one she was eting at Glory.
He didn’t think the man would be the nephew of Red Moon’s forr leader as the man kept a low profile and did not associate himself with the underworld until now.
However, is this all a coincident or is this part of what fate has in store?
