Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

Finally, both Mei Qingyang and Su Lang went to sleep while talking till late into the night. They talked about generic stuff and how Su Lang had successfully started his businesses. Mei Qingyang was very happy to learn all the business stories and thus her heart relaxed even more. She had faith in both the guys that they would get her out of here.

Indeed, in the morning, Yu Rong herself came to visit her and Su Lang. She had full entourage of people with her including a few of the professors, Gu Layue, a few school board members their classmates and a few other students who were just interested in the show. Fan Ruyi had also followed the crowd.

"Aiyya, young master Su. If I had known I would find you here, I would have arranged something better for you. What will I do if tomorrow your father comes and tells me that I did not treat you well?", Yu Rong came with her usual tight seductive clothes. Today she was wearing black tight leather slacks and a purple qipao style shirt with golden phoenixes drawn on them. She was trying to make a power statement and intimidate Su Lang with his father's name. Indirectly, she was indicating that she was going to complain about him to his father.

Su Lang laughed at Yu Rong's weak attempt. He had been awake since early morning, waiting for some news from his assistant who had gone to Yu Rong's place since midnight yesterday. He had not returned any of his calls or anything, so he knew that Yu Rong had kind of made him wait the whole night to even listen to him while she perhaps was having fun with her assistant Wang Hao.

Everyone, especially the upper circle, was aware of her l.e.w.d ways and how she abused people under him. If given a chance, she would not spare other people's servants too. Handsome men were her weakness.

"So, you mean to say that you did not get my assistant's message last night, not did you listen to any of my messages? Are you disregarding Su family's authority here?", Su Lang thundered at her. Yu Tian had also arrived at the place from behind.

"Young master, please do not get angry. I honestly did not get any messages from you or your assistant.", Yu Rong continued her act sheepishly.

"And? Why was my assistant at your place the whole time then? Did you assistant tell him that you would be out soon and never showed up?", Su Lang said angrily. He let go keeping up appearances with her. This lady was basically a wench who did not need any courtesy.

"Calm down young master Su. Please don't be so angry. I did not mean to disregard your assistant. I think my assistant thought the situation was not urgent enough since you just sent your assistant and did not come yourself.", she tried to drive a wedge in between Su Lang and Mei Qingyang with telling her that she was not important enough for him while reminding Su Lang that his assistant was not important enough for her to pay heed to him. On the other hand, if he really wanted Yu Rong to answer, he might as well have come himself.

"Wang Hao.", Yu Rong called her assistant out loudly, seeing that Su Lang's face was getting darker by the second. She was rather pleased with herself. Wang Hao appeared hurriedly as if ready to be scolded. These guys were putting on such an act like everyone around them was a fool and could not see through their tricks.

"Yes mistress.", Wang Hao spoke obediently.

"Why did you not inform me that Young Master Su's assistant was at my office since midnight? If it was as important as Young Master Su sleeping here in the cold and dirty environment, you should have woken me up!", Yu Rong yelled at him. Wang Hao knew she was making him take the fall in front of everyone. He had gone to inform her promptly last night when he saw her experimenting with new handcuffs.

He must have had the worst luck to have intruded upon her then. She pulled him into her hidden room in her office and rest, he did not remember. He woke up sore all over his body and with plenty bruises on his b.u.t.t.o.c.k.s and back. And now she was scolding him for something he did not do. How much more humiliation was he to suffer? He lowered his head and bit his lip. He knew his mistress would not do anything to him but this was not sitting right with him. How many times did he need to swallow his pride for this old woman?

"I… I am sorry master. I did not want to disturb your sleep. It won't happen again.", Wang Hao bowed in front of Su Lang and apologized to Yu Rong out of habit.

"It's not me you should be apologizing. If young master Su gets sick because he had to spend his night at such a lowly place, would you be responsible?", Yu Rong wanted to take another jab at Su Lang. Yes, why did he need to accompany this girl at this rotten place? With her sentence, she also hinted that something was going on between Su Lang and Mei Qingyang.

She glanced at Yu Tian to judge his reaction. He was standing at the side without any expression, cold as usual. Not seeing any change in Yu Tian, Yu Rong clenched her fists.

When did this witch enamor her nephew so much that he would trust her like this? If he was so interested in her, why did he not have any hint of jealousy or disgust on his face. He didn't even suspect them both although they basically spent the night together in a cramped place, totally unusual for always clean Su Lang? Was this not how she had separated that one girl from him?

"Pfft… Are you hinting at something Principal Yu?", everyone suddenly heard a chuckle from behind. A girl, with neat and tidy hair and slight vanilla fragrance emerged from behind Su Lang. Her body was still covered in the warm blanket Yu Tian had given her last night. Fortunately, Su Lang had brought in a few maids to help freshen up the girl at the jail itself.

Su Lang obviously had enough connections to get the key to the cell and stay here. It was also part of Yu Rong's plan who had wanted the two guys to feel disgusted on seeing Mei Qingyang's original state. That was a whole different issue that the plan had backfired.

Mei Qingyang had just been listening to the jabber between Su Lang and Yu Rong just now. She had been taking in all the hints. It was okay till she was blaming her own assistant but she could not see Yu Rong slandering her cousin.

"I don't think you have still told your followers behind what all you did yesterday. I wonder if they see it, would they be able to judge if you followed proper protocol or not?", Mei Qingyang reminded Yu Rong that she was standing in front of a lot of people she would not want to offend.

Yu Rong smiled towards this naïve girl. Her thin face full of make up bloomed with confidence. As usual, she had made sure that she had left the scars on her body that could not be shown to everyone. Sure there were few cuts here and there on her arms but that did not prove anything, unless she were to undress herself before everyone.

No one would be that bold, would they? Yu Rong was laughing happily internally. This fool of a girl, would she have any dignity left if she were to show her body to everyone present? Most of them were males. She would never do anything like that.

"What would you mean by that Ms. Mei? I don't think I did anything out of norm. Ah, are you talking about those few cuts on your arm? I apologize for those. They just happened accidently.", Yu Rong said in a very polite apologetic way to win everyone's hearts around.

Who was not aware of Yu Rong's drama? Everyone turned their blind eye because no one was bold enough to come forward and accuse her of anything. They all had their own idea of what this girl might have gone through yesterday. They were actually in awe that she had not died yet and was actually standing here and back talking to Yu Rong.

"I think you are mistaken Principal Yu. What I am talking about is this.", Mei Qingyang removed her coat and was back to her wearing just her bra and u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r, earning gasps from everyone present.
