"Meixiu, you are very inactive in your socials I just noticed."
"I'm a business woman. I'm not a celebrity or an influencer."
Meixiu is busy deleting some comments in her account. She's purposely deleting hate comments towards her for she thinks it can affect her mother's business. Getting rumored with Liwei is so depressing. Clearly, there are a lot of people involved than just what people think.
She had to apologize to Ruomei and her parents. She also apologized to Liwei and even asked him to stay away from her as far as possible. Even before, Meixiu never had any feelings for Liwei. To her, he is nothing but a senior who now became her brother in-law.
"These 36K followers are so much for someone like you who isn't posting that much. You need to do more."
"Stop telling me what to do with my socials. If it's not business related, why would I post?"
"They see you as a motivational speaker, as an inspiring business woman..."
"They will be so disgusted once they found out my family forced you to marry me."
"Your family? Is it the Wu or the Yang?"
"You seemed so mad about my real family. What did we do to you?"
"Forget about it."
The both of them paused and a disturbing sound of silence reached their ears. It was so annoying that it sounded like someone's scratching a metal surface with his long, sharpened fingernails. To entertain himself, Chaoxiang scrolled through Meixiu's account, wanting to get her average reactions in a post.
"I realized you really looked like Suyin."
"We're twins."
"You never graduated with us. Did you actually plan to look like her, or maybe pretend you are Suyin?"
"Just to have you? That's so idiot."
"Does that mean you aren't really interested in me?"
"Remember, our marriage is also called arranged, fixed or forced marriage. That means I can look like a clown and you're still going to marry me. Why? Because you were forced to do so. Okay, if I know from the very beginning that I can make you say yes, why would I even use a huge amount of money just to look like your ex? As far as I know, she left you so why would you come back to her?"
"You explained a lot."
"Rather than satisfying yourself with rumors, would it be easier for you to think Suyin and I are really twin sisters?"
"Don't pull out the 'Suyin left me' thing. You made her leave."
"Back then, I was a third year college student. What makes you think I have enough resources and even willpower to actually drive her away?"
"You are trying to clear yourself now huh."
"I work for the Yang and I want its glory to shine all over the planet. If it would be easier for our company to do that once you marry Suyin, why would I even intervene?"
It seems like Meixiu became a completely different person once again. She is clearing things out with him and she is persuading him. In her thoughts, if she could convince him to believe her then it would be easier for him to distance himself with his ex, her twin sister Suyin. And unlike her last tactic, she thinks being honest would be easier. After all, she knows within herself that she is doing nothing wrong and that he is totally misunderstanding her side.
She was about to mention that the day Suyin left him, she was actually in a relationship with Jianguo but a phone call disturbed the both of them. If she had been dreaming about him all those years, then she could have rejected all the guys who pursued her before, even Jianguo. So the rumors aren't making sense at all. She knows within her that she is innocent with all of their accusations.
"Sir Zhao, I have found some details about the woman you're asking me to find, the one who presented to be your temporary assistant."
"Oh really, give me a minute real quick.", he said and covered the phone's microphone to excuse himself with Meixiu.
Meixiu decided to simply let him go and stopped insisting herself. She believes that the truth has its own way in revealing itself. If this is not the right time yet, then she'll have to wait for the right timing. At the same time, if she could sow more and more seed of suspicion in his head, the more he'll be intrigued in finding out what really happened.
"So who is she?"
"One thing's confirmed; the woman who presented to be your personal assistant is indeed the woman who is supposed to attend your fan signing for free. Yes, they are the same person. Lein is somehow close to the Yang Emerald Enterprises, specifically, Miss Yang Meixiu."
"Yang Meixiu?"
"Yes Sir. Miss He Lein is actually Miss Meixiu's friend from college."
"I never thought my wife could actually have friends."
"Are you thinking the way I do Sir?"
"About Meixiu?"
"There is a high probability that Meixiu is actually your so called 'number 1 fan'. If not, then that person must be really close both to Miss Meixiu and Miss Lein."
Chaoxiang looked back to see his wife who is busy scrolling through her social media accounts. If she is really his fan, how come she isn't even flinching when he's in front of her? And he is still receiving some letters from his favorite fan which would not be the case if that fan is Meixiu. Chaoxiang can see she already lost interest in him after he abused and hurt her. If he is already an evil in her eyes, she could've stopped sending him some letters.
"It can't be Meixiu. I just... It can't be!"
"Sir, I can still remember that you actually said Miss Meixiu shouldn't be a fan of yours. You told her not to right? Now that makes sense if she has been trying really hard to conceal her identity."
"She hasn't been responding to my offer with the fan signing. If this wouldn't work out as to what we planned, I'll go ask Meixiu about it."
"Isn't it romantic Sir Chaoxiang? Come to think of it. You are married to your number 1 fan!"
And so Chaoxiang started to think, what if it is really Meixiu? How could it possibly change their marriage? Would it be for the better or for the worse?
