Flash Marriage: The Domineering Wife

Chapter 75 Self-reflect

　　Yan Mei widened her eyes as she saw Wang Lu glaring at her with his icy eyes. Shock gripped her whole being. The man who had accused her of cheating and had caused her immense pain for years was standing in front of her after five years. Yan Mei wanted to laugh; wanted to laugh bitterly. Was fate playing some sick game with her? 

Now that she has finally found happiness, fate has to be so cruel and flung her demons back into her life. Was he back to ruin her new-found happiness? Flashbacks of that night came rushing before eyes, she recalled all the dirty names he had called her, his eyes that were filled with hate and disgust.

The memories she had buried deep down at the back of her mind roused which made her heart hunched in pain. She had tried to forget the hatred and pain she had gone through in the past but now she was desperately recollecting the memories over and over again. Yan Mei took a moment to calm down her nerves and wore a blank expression. She turned to Mr. Greene.

”Let’s start the meeting.” She stated formally.

******

The meeting was brief and racking. Yan Mei could feel Wang Lu’s hot gaze on her throughout the meeting. He hadn’t uttered a word since they started the meeting, he was just sitting lazily with his legs crossed and hands across his chest. 

Yan Mei knew he was probably annoyed by the fact that she had ignored him the moment they met. She could see his brows bumped together in a scowl as he looked like he was in deep thought.

Yan Mei sighed inwardly once they finished the meeting. She was quite surprised that she was able to keep her emotions at bay.

She gathered her files and got up, “It was nice doing business with you, Mr. Greene.”

The man chuckled, he really has to admire Yan Mei, she didn’t show any emotions when she met her ex-husband nor did she lose focus on the thing they were talking about. He knew Mr. Wang must be fuming right now.

He had no idea the infamous iron-lady was married once. When Wang Lu came to his office to propose a business deal in exchange for letting him arrange a meeting with Yan Mei, he was shocked. 

At first, he was thought Wang Lu, wanted to use the opportunity to ask Yan Mei out so he advised him that he shouldn’t waste his time because she would reject him. But he laughed and told him he suspects she is his ex-wife!.

Mr. Greene couldn’t believe it, out of curiosity he agreed to this whole charade. Even though Yan Mei didn’t say anything to Wang Lu, he saw the flickers of emotion on her face when she saw Wang Lu. He thought she was going to freak out or snap at him, but she just said “Let’s start the meeting.” 

’This woman is very interesting.’ 

”Likewise, I hope we will cooperate more in the future.” 

Yan Mei nodded. “Alright, I will take my leave now.”

Yan Mei felt Wang Lu’s eyes scorching on her skin but she refused to spare him even a glance.

Just as she was about to reach the door, he heard his deep voice sounding behind her.

”Miss Yan is really a great businesswoman like the rumors. I have to say I’m impressed.” He said his voice thick with sarcasm.

Yan Mei’s eyes turned to look at him, her eyes met his eyes flickering with curious and mockery. 

”Or you prefer I call you, Feng Mei?” 

A soft sigh left Yan Mei’s mouth; she turned around and strode towards the door. She needed to get out of there before she lose control of her emotions. He is the last person she wants to appear weak in front

”I asked you something.” He said with exasperation.

Yan Mei heard him stood up, the sound of his footsteps echoing in the quiet room.

”Who are you? And why should I answer your question?” She said nonchalantly as possible even though her clenched fist betrayed her inner turmoil. 

Wang Lu chuckled humorlessly as he came to stand behind her. Yan Mei didn’t dare to turn around. She knew that she needed to leave right now but it felt like her feet were glued to the floor. 

”I guess after deceiving that man into marrying you, you still kept Leng Shao around. Let me guess, you’re still sleeping around with Leng Shao. Since I saw him in City S a few days ago?”

Yan Mei squinted her eyes. ‘What does Leng Shao has to do with this?’ Yan Mei widened her eyes as she realized something.

”You thought I cheated on you with Leng Shao?” She blurted out before she could stop herself.

”I didn’t assume; I knew you’re cheating on me with my best friend. I feel bad for that guy; he has to wake up every morning with a slut by his side-“

Molten rage rolled through Yan Mei, she barely had the chance to think about her actions, she pursed her lips and struck him across the face. The noise of a slap radiated in the room. Wang Lu stared at her with his eyes wide as his hand slowly made contact with his cheek. 

’You slapped me??! He bellowed.

A smug grin appeared on Yan Mei’s face. 

”I should have done this a long time ago,” Yan Mei said breathlessly from anger.

”You have the guts to slap me after cheating on me?! What kind of whore are you?”

Yan Mei felt tightness in her chest; she felt like razor blades were moving through her. Five years, she thought he would have a little remorse for what he did to her but he called a whore! She feels very stupid to have fallen in love with this man. Ah, she regrets; regrets every second she spent crying over him in the past five years.

She laughed humorlessly the coldness in her tone was bone-chilling.

”Oh, as a man don’t you think you should self-reflect on why your wife cheated on you? Maybe you were lacking somewhere.” She said as her eyes traveled in between his legs.

Wang Lu’s face paled before he could react Yan Mei had already opened the door and left the private box.

Mr. Greene’s laughter snapped Wang Lu out of his stupor. Wang Lu glared at him. 

He raked his fingers through his hair, he thought she would cry or beg him to take her back once she sees him. But apart from the flicker of emotions in her eyes when she saw him, her face was devoid of any emotions. Throughout the meeting, she ignored him as if he was thin of air and he hated it. 

Wang Lu remembers the blush that would be on her face anytime she sees him. His Meimei was shy and cute but this woman, he could barely recognize her. He never knew she was that good in business. Was her shy and cute temperament all a façade? So she was playing with him from the beginning?

 An evil glint passed through his eyes as he clucked his tongue.
