Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"Pfft.", Mei Qingyang could not help but laugh at the woman's overconfidence. A small blood line formed around her lip. Yu Rong's slap had cut her lips at the corner.

"I am surprised you think so highly of me. You think a high and mighty guy like your nephew would actually be interested in a girl like me?", she snorted. Interest or not, she

"Oh? I had no idea you suffered from such lack of confidence.", Yu Rong bit back. How dared she? First this vixen seduced her nephew, now she claimed to be an innocent lamb? Incensed, Yu Rong hit Mei Qingyang's arm with her whip. The whip left a bloody scar on her wheat toned tender skin. This helped mollify Yu Rong's anger a bit. Seeing the blood, she was suddenly filled with a sense of glee and an urge to hit her more, her eyes curved up in smile. She took a step back and then hit Mei Qingyang's body a couple of times.

Unfortunately for her, Mei Qingyang didn't even flinch with pain, let alone cry. Yu Rong checked her whip to see if it was a fake. Her whip was made with hardest of leather and every hit would leave a deep scar. Did this girl not feel pain or what?

Since the wench wanted to pretend to be strong, Yu Rong would love to break the girl. She got into the rhythm and hit Mei Qingyang another 20 times. Losing quite a bit of blood, the girl fainted but did not utter even a small scream. Yu Rong whispered something in Wang Hao's ears again.

"Splash!!!" Next thing Mei Qingyang knew, her wounds were stinging yanking her out of unconsciousness. It felt like thousands of bugs were crawling her skin, not to mention that this place was cold already. Wang Hao had just put a bucket of ice-cold salt water over her. Internally, she really wanted to scream her lungs out. Her wounds hurt so much, she was almost about to cry. But then, if she gave in here, Yu Rong would never let her rise again. Her only solution was to just endure this ordeal and not give Yu Rong her sense of satisfaction that she was looking for.

Surely, soon enough, Yu Rong got bored because of lack of reaction from this tough girl. Nonetheless, Yu Rong had enough time on her hands. Yu Tian and his friends were this girl's only hope and she would break that too. Fan Ruyi and Feng Yue were already out. She had heard everything from Gu Layue as well as Wang Hao about Feng Yue's confessions and how she rejected him but Fan Ruyi still misunderstood. Emotions ah! Such a useless thing!!

Once the other two would see her condition, no way they would be interested in her. Everyone liked beautiful things, and although this girl did not compare to the school beauties, there was no doubt that her confidence did attract a lot of people.

Anyway, she was basically done for now that she had lost her two allies. Two more were on the way to abandon her. Thinking till here, Yu Rong smiled smugly at her intelligence.

"Leave her like this, let Yu Tian and group see her. Let me see how they bear such a disgusting thing then.", Yu Rong harrumphed and strutted on her heels as usual. Wang Hao, on the other hand didn't want to leave the place. He looked at the pale skin once again, before he followed Yu Rong out.

Mei Qingyang was suddenly left alone with burning pain on her fresh wounds. The dead silence wasn't helping. A lone tear rolled out of her eyes. She had still not recovered from the execution of that girl. Sure, she did not want to do anything with her. But Yu Rong directly put a bullet through that servant girl's head without any qualms. She could not take out the image from her head, the horror filled face of that girl, the fear of losing the life, they were all too familiar to her.

She wanted to know what was eating her from inside, this fear, this feeling, she really wanted to know the reason behind it. But those memories that were locked away were not coming back to her. Despair shrouded her once again. Hope this news reached her dad soon. She had cleverly taught her information transmission method to the old librarian. He was one of her dad's men. She knew she would need to share her method with someone from the school anyway. Good that she did not choose the group of four for this.

Right now, she was not sure if what Yu Rong had in mind would come to fruition or not. What if the two guys really thought her of as disgusting and refused to help her out? But did she not want to not depend on them to begin with? Why was she longing for their help now, especially Yu Tian? Since when did she become this dependent on those two guys?

Mei Qingyang shivered from the cold and gritted her teeth for she needed to make her next plan now. But first, she needed some sleep. Her body was already numb from her blood being pulled downwards. They had left her arms hanging in the air, bound by chains. She could not feel her body anymore, was it really okay to go to sleep? Would she be able to wake up once she finally close her eyes? Pondering about her life, she drifted to sleep finally.
