Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Zhao Ya’Er rushes in the direction of the spa locker room after hearing Zhou Jinglei explain the situation. She didn’t get a clear explanation of what happened, but it was better to check on her friend and sister-in-law first.

Arriving at the spa locker room, she pushes the door open. Her head pokes out from behind the door and she scans the place for Yue Ling.

”Yue-yue, is everything alright?”

She spoke in a voice not too loud and not too quiet. She did this because Zhou Jinglei said Yue Ling had to make a phone call. So not sure if it might be work related, she could only speak this way not to disturb the phone call.

However, no one answered her.

Zhao Ya’Er pout her lips and enters the room. She walks towards their lockers as Yue Ling might not have heard her since it was in the back.

”Yue—”

”Ya’Er? Is that you?”

She calls out to Yue Ling again, but before she could finish the person’s name, her body froze at the sudden voice.

It wasn’t Yue Ling’s angelic voice, but a voice she is very familiar with. She curse inside as she didn’t want to see this person at all.

Zhao Ya’Er didn’t answer the question, so the person peeps out from behind the second row of lockers.

Seeing that it is her, the woman’s eyes lit up and her entire figure steps into view with a light clap of her hands.

”Ah! Ya’Er it is you!”

Zhao Ya’Er stares indifferently at the woman. Her expression at this moment makes one confirm that she is indeed Lu Tian’s cousin.

She clench her fists tightly and her eyes flash with a murderous glint.

”Ning Mei.”

The rookie model had just finished changing and was about to leave when she heard Zhao Ya’Er’s voice. She puts on her innocent façade and steps into view despite the hatred that can be seen in Zhao Ya’Er’s eyes.

She wore a purple plaid jacket and skirt set with black stockings and black heels. Her height was shorter, but with the added inches from her heels and Zhao Ya’Er wearing spa slippers, she stood at the same height. However, she didn’t forget to slightly raise her chin to make her appear taller.

She smiles a friendly smile and takes a step forward. She went from cunning to a sweet and innocent person within seconds.

”Why didn’t you tell me you were also coming here? If I had known, we could have come together.”

The second Ning Mei took a step forward, Zhao Ya’Er took a step back. She watched the woman put on an obvious façade and she scoffs in ridicule. She cannot believe how thick Ning Mei’s skin is.

”We’re not friends.”

The despicable woman had just sent her a disgusting photo and now she wants to pretend like nothing happened and she is the most innocent person ever?

Someone should really slap the rookie model’s face with an award for being a great actress and a backstabbing friend.

”Ning Mei, who are you talking to?”

From behind the row of lockers Ning Mei had stepped out from, another woman’s voice interrupts them. She steps into view wearing a blue dress with white heels.

When she saw who Ning Mei was talking to, she gasp a smile in surprise. However, one can see the mockery in her eyes.

”Oh my. I was wondering who you were talking to. I didn’t expect us to run into Ya’Er.”

Zhao Ya’Er gave the woman a foul look. They were not close enought for her (woman) to address her (Zhao Ya’Er) by her name. However, unlike Zhao Ya’Er, Ning Mei looks at the woman. She kept an innocent appearance and smiles.

”Wenli, don’t worry. There’s been a little misunderstanding.”

Looking back at Zhao Ya’Er, she kept her smile and takes another step forward.

”Ya’Er, don’t say that we are not friends. I cannot bear to be hated by you.”

She reach a hand to hold Zhao Ya’Er’s arm and her words continue.

”Let’s forget that you said anything. Wenli and I are going to have lunch, do you want to join us?”

Zhao Ya’Er scoffs in disgust at the woman. Seeing Ning Mei’s hand reaching out for her, she slightly tilt to the side to dodge it and walks away.

”I don’t want to be friends with neither of you.”

”Ya’Er, wait!”

Ning Mei puts on a panic expression and grabs Zhao Ya’Er’s arm. Her lower lip trembles and she lowers her head to make others feel sympathy for her.

”Are you angry because… because of the photo?”

She spoke in the softest voice she could make then looks up with tears in her eyes. Any person who did not know her would no doubt take her side.

”It’s not what you think. Hongyi and I were drunk that night, but nothing happened between us.”

Her words were full of regret like she didn’t want to lose her best friend, but deep down, she was cursing Zhao Ya’Er to death. How can Wei Hongyi be so desperate for someone so stupid like Zhao Ya’Er?

She (Ning Mei) has been sleeping with the man since he and Zhao Ya’Er broke up. However, no matter how many women he is with, Hongyi can never get over her (Zhao Ya’Er).

Zhao Ya’Er glares at Ning Mei. She inhales sharply and yank her arm away.

”You’re disgusting Ning Mei.”

However, just as Zhao Ya’Er free her arm from the woman, Ning Mei quickly grabs hold of her arm again. This time she didn’t forget to tighten her grip.

Knowing that Zhao Ya’Er is angry inside, Ning Mei decides to add more oil to the fuel. She leans closer to the woman and a sinister smile curls on her face making her look like an evil witch.

She didn’t want Ni Wenli to hear her, so she spoke in a quiet voice that only Zhao Ya’Er could hear.

”He’s really amazing in bed. Every time we do it, he would always tell me how much he loves me.”

It’s true he is one of her best sex partners, but it was lie when she said he tells her that he loves her. Not only that, there were many times when Hongyi would call Zhao Ya’Er’s name while they were doing it. However, she will never tell Zhao Ya’Er.

A malevolent sneer curls on her lip and her words continue.

”The last time we did it, we didn’t leave the room for three days. He even told me he never loved you.”

”Shut up!!”

Zhao Ya’Er had heard enough. She bellows out in anger at the disgusting words she was hearing. Her free hand raise, and she slaps Ning Mei hard across the face.

Not expecting the slap, Ning Mei yelp a cry and stumble back before slamming against the lockers with a long bang that echoes inside the room.

Zhao Ya’Er clench her fists tightly to the point her nails were digging through her skin. She needed to calm down or else she would really kill Ning Mei.

Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she growls at Ning Mei.

”Since you’re so desperate for him, go find him. A slut and a scum are perfect for each other.”

Ni Wenli gasp in shock at what just happened. All she saw was Ning Mei trying to apologize to Zhao Ya’Er. Instead of Zhao Ya’Er accepting the apology, how did the situation turn into a fight?

She quickly rush to Ning Mei and help the pitiful woman up.

”Ning Mei, are you alright?”

Being helped up, Ning Mei was fueling with rage inside. However, not wanting her innocent image to be ruined in front of Ni Wengli, she chokes a sob.

”Ya’Er, I don’t know what I did wrong, but why do you have to slander me? I thought we were friends, why did you have to treat me to so cruelly?”

*Clap clap clap

Zhao Ya’Er parted her lips to retaliate the disgusting woman’s words, but before she could utter a word, a faint clap echoes inside the room, then an angelic voice spoke.

”Oh my, what an interesting show.”

Hearing the voice that sent a wave of relief inside her, Zhao Ya’Er looks in the direction of the voice. It was as if her knight in shiny amor had arrive to save her.

”Yue-Yue…”

Yue Ling was on the phone with Lu Tian as she decided to ignore the two voices. However, when she heard the sudden bang and Zhao Ya’Er’s voice, she quickly ended the call with Lu Tian.

Seeing that Zhao Ya’Er was fine, she looks at the other two women she had ignored since their arrival.

One end of her lip curls upward into a smirk. She looked so seductive, yet at the same time, everything about her gave an aura that someone is going to die.

As the saying goes, enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. So, today must be one of those days.
