  In the room.

  " Xiuren you arrived earlier in the city than Bai Ju, yet you didn't tell me?" Xiao Jun complained as he passed her the drink.

  Bai Xiuren smiled and said, " I came only a few days ago. I didn't get time to call you because I was busy meeting some of the clients to talk about our new project. "

  Xiao Jun nodded in understanding.

  " But I met Liwei accidentally at a restaurant. He was with Ms. Xie Ming at that time. "

  Xiao Jun looked at Bai Xiuren with a complicated gaze because if she had met Liwei then he must have introduced Xie Ming to her.

  Rather than addressing her as his wife, Mrs. Jin, or Xie Ming, she was calling her Ms. Xie Ming?

  Bai Xiuren saw the look in Xiao Jun's eyes but didn't say anything. She just smiled mildly as she took a sip of her wine.

  " Ms. Xie Ming? Isn't she Liwei's wife? You met her? How is she?" Bai Ju asked her curiously.

  " Erm. She is…… pretty. But the thing is she is only pretty. I don't remember anything more than that about her. And what can we expect from her? She is only 23 years old. She is young and I say a bit childish. She hasn't seen the cruel world yet. That's why, I think she is one of those girls who need men to protect them." Bai Xiuren shrugged her shoulders as she finished her words.

  Xiao Jun felt that something was off about her. She isn't the kind of person to talk about someone like this but today she seems different.

  He wasn't sure if it is because it's been so many years that they met, but she seemed so distant from before.

  " Really? I can't believe Liwei married such a girl. It must be because of business otherwise he wouldn't have married her. But Jin Corporation is so powerful, then why did he get married to her anyway." Bai Ju can't understand why Liwei married someone as incapable as Xie Ming.

  " I heard that she signed a contract with Global world. Not only that, she got the role of a second female lead in the new movie of a known director, Mr. Han. " Xiuren said while swirling her drink .

  Bai Ju pursed his lips when he heard this. He was now sure that Xie Ming was just after Liwei's money and power.

  She married him so that she can easily get into Global world which is a company under Jin Corporations. She can use him to get fame and power in the entertainment industry.

  Xiao Jun frowned the way Bai Xiuren was saying all this. The way she was saying all this was clearly indicating that Xie Ming made use of Jin Liwei.

  " You"

  Before he could say anything, he was interrupted when the door of the room opened.

  They didn't hear the knocking on the door and saw the door opening.

  Bai Xiuren pursed her lips when she saw Liwei entering the room with Xie Ming. His hand was wrapped around her waist intimately.

  She pursed her lips as her grip around her glass tightened. She only knew that Liwei was coming, but nobody told her that Xie Ming was coming as well.

  She thought that this is only friends gathering. She can't understand why Liwei brought her here.

  She was deliberately trying to fit in their group……

  " You guys came." seeing that no one said anything, Xiao Jun stood up from his seat and walked to Liwie and Xie Ming.

  He nodded at Xie Ming politely and gestured to them to come in.

  Xie Ming's body stiffened when she saw Bai Xiuren sitting there with Bai Ju. She thought that she was coming later but she was not expecting to see her there already.

  She calmed down and didn't bother much about her presence.

  " You came?" Bai Xiuren also stood up and stretched her hands to give a hug to Liwei.

  Xie Ming frowned but before Xiuren could hug Liwei, he extended his hand for a handshake.

  " - _-"

  Bai Xiuren stopped in her actions when she saw his hand extended for a handshake. She pursed her lips and felt embarrassed.

  She awkwardly shook hands with him and looked at Xie Ming who was trying to hide her smile.

  She noticed it and pursed her lips into a thin line.

  Previously, these hugs were nothing but now Liwei was even making distance with her.

  It's all because of this girl

  ….

  Bai Ju saw his sister getting embarrassed, he stood up and said, " Why are you standing there? Come and sit here."

  Liwei smiled and walked there while holding Xie Ming's hand.

  He gave Bai Ju a side hug and introduced him to Xie Ming, " Xie Ming, this is Bai Ju, my childhood friend. We have been together since childhood. And Bai Ju, this is my lovely wife Xie Ming."

  A smile appeared on Liwei's face when he called her lovely wife.

  Bai Ju noticed the change of expressions on his face.

  Xie Ming nodded at him and said," I have heard alot about you from Liwei, Mr. Bai Ju. "

  Bai Ju shook hands with her and said, " Yes. We are childhood friends after all. I am sorry but I don't know much about you Ms. Xie Ming, because he never said anything about you.".

  Xie Ming pursed her lips and didn't say anything.

  Liwei frowned when he heard Bai Ju's words and said, " It was your fault for not contacting us more often in the last year. Moreover, we only talked for a mere five minutes when we were on the phone. How can I tell you about her?"

  " After all, there is so much to say about her. How can I tell you about her in those mere five minutes? "

  Bai Ju didn't say anything and soon everyone settled on their seats.

  Xie Ming sat on the couch with Liwei while Bai Xiuren and Bai Ju sat together.

  …


  They were all chatting with each other and reminiscing about their past. Since Xie Ming can't get into their conversation, she keeps eating the fruits and snacks which Liwei has placed on her plate.

  Bai Xiuren was observing Liwei's every action. He was talking to them but his whole focus is on Xie Ming.

  " Ms. Xie, I heard that you are working in Mr. Han's upcoming movie. I never knew that you can do acting as well. Didn't you study business? How come you get into this industry?"

  Xie Ming frowned when she heard Bai Xiuren asking this question. Though she didn't mind talking about this but the way she asked this question and the look she gave her, she felt annoyed.

  Her expressions were clearly looking down on her.

  Suddenly, the room became silent as everyone looked at them. They saw the tension growing between the two ladies in the room.

  Liwei frowned and was about to say something, when Xie Ming spoke.

  He was quite surprised when he heard Xie Ming's words.
