Chapter 90 – Chen Meile’s Choice

Chen Meile leaned against the couch in Fu Bainian’s office, her legs crossed . A pair of crimson high-heeled shoes covered her feet, and one leg was stretched under the coffee table, while the other leg was hanging over her knee .

She was just about to light a cigarette when Fu Bainian stopped her . “Smoking isn’t allowed in the office!”

“Oh! Sorry, I forgot this was your office . ” Chen Meile put the cigarette away and smiled, slightly coldly . “I feel agitated when I don’t smoke, so if President Fu has something to say, please be quick!”

The woman’s expression looked a little impatient, completely different from her previously easy-going look . Perhaps, as he’d suspected, Chen Meile already knew about that matter .

Fu Bainian’s pupils shrunk . If things really were like what he thought, it would be difficult to handle . Chen Meile was somewhat difficult to deal with compared to Chen Meimei .

“I presume you already have your suspicions about that matter? I hope you can help hide it,” he said, directly getting to the point .

“Which matter? Why I don’t understand what President Fu means?” Chen Meile smiled, pretending not to understand .

She wants him to personally admit it!

Realising this, the corners of Fu Bainian’s mouth raised slightly .

“You obviously know already, so why should I say it? Since things have become like this, it’s G.o.d’s will . ”

As he finished saying that, a red high-heel flew towards his head . Fu Bainian’s body dodged quickly to the side, and the high-heeled shoe hit the wall behind him, leaving a shallow scratch .

“What’s G.o.d’s will?! Fu Bainian, I’m telling you, Chen Meimei died because of you . The reason she was in a car accident was also your fault . She loved you so much, yet you didn’t see her at all . Chen Meimei was just slightly fat, but besides that, she couldn’t be compared with other women-”

Fu Bainian interrupted Chen Meile before she could finish .

He said faintly, “I’m truly sorry for Chen Meimei’s death . However, loving someone can’t be forced . Chen Meimei is no worse than any other women, but, in my heart, there is already someone whom I’ve loved for a long time . My heart can only fit her alone . ”

Upon hearing Fu Bainian saying this in such a faint tone, Chen Meile was inwardly shocked .

I see . Of course, with such an outstanding man, it was weird how he didn’t have any scandals . There wasn’t a single woman that he liked? She should have guessed it long ago . At this moment, Chen Meile suddenly recalled when she got a phone call from Chen Meimei . It was a weird phone call . Chen Meimei had asked if Chen Meimei had ever mentioned Lan Jinyao before . Although she was puzzled at the time, she’d subconsciously ignored it . Now, thinking about it again, perhaps at that time, her body had already become occupied by another soul .

Chen Meile suddenly wanted to slap her own face . As a sister of Chen Meimei’s, it was ridiculous that she’d never guessed about this .

“You can’t escape the responsibility of Chen Meimei getting into a car accident!” Chen Meile repeated loudly, her eyes slightly red .

Fu Bainian said in a low voice, “The way I acted towards Chen Meimei before was my fault . I shouldn’t have told her that I would never fall for her . I should’ve just told her that there was still a possibility between us . That one day, I might’ve fallen for her, and then let her wait for an impossible reason . That is what I should’ve done, right?”

To his response, another high-heeled shoe flew towards him, and Fu Bainian barely managed to escape danger once again .

“You shouldn’t have appeared in Chen Meimei’s life!” Chen Meile began to weep . “But, who should I blame? It was me who introduced you to her . If there weren’t that drinking party to begin with, our Chen Meimei would still be that simple-minded little girl that wouldn’t be sad nor cry for any man, and she wouldn’t have ended that!”

Fu Bainian breathed a sigh of relief . It seemed that Chen Meile understood everything, so he didn’t need to worry about the exposure of Lan Jinyao’s ident.i.ty for a while . At least, he didn’t have to worry about how to deal with Old Chen for the time being .

“Fu Bainian…”

Just as Fu Bainian’s body started to relax, he heard Chen Meile call his name . He then looked up, only to see the corners of Chen Meile’s mouth raising slowly to form a sly smile .

She asked, “If she died once again, could Meimei come back?”

The ethereal voice was filled with a creepy chill, and upon hearing that, Fu Bainian’s clenched hands suddenly tightened .

“Killing people is illegal . Chen Meile, I hope that you can understand this . Don’t let emotions dominate your proud rationality . ”

Chen Meile lifted her head, seemingly wanting to hold back the tears in her eyes . However, from Fu Bainian’s view, he could still see the tears that were continuously escaping from the corners of her eyes .

The most painful thing in the world is to be parted by death . Everything in this world was trivial except for life and death . He understood Chen Meile’s current feelings very well; it felt as if the whole world had utterly collapsed . He had experienced this feeling before, and it had felt like his heart had been hollowed out and that his soul had left his body .

He didn’t say anything more and instead went to pick up her shoes and place them next to her feet .

“Chen Meimei is already dead; what else can you do? Could it be that you want to kill another person? Can’t you…” he paused, realising that his words were a little bit coldblooded . He then mulled it over for a moment before continuing, “Let Lan Jinyao be your sister . Her soul is now in the body of Chen Meimei, living happily . ”

Chen Meile stood up on her bare feet and looked him right in the eyes . “Fu Bainian, put yourself in my shoes, can you treat Chen Meimei as Lan Jinyao and love her? Let me ask you: If Chen Meimei was still Chen Meimei, but she was just pretending to be Lan Jinyao and living in your world; how would you react? Have you never given a thought about how soul possessing could ever exist in this world?”

Fu Bainian was instantly stunned by her outburst .

He’d never thought about this possibility like Chen Meile had said, but, it wasn’t impossible either .

As if he’d been silent for a century, Fu Bainian let out a long sigh . “If you love someone, you just know . Although this situation might be impossible, you’ll never mistake the person you love . ”

As if he’d been silent for a century, Fu Bainian let out a long sigh . “If you love someone, you just know . Although this situation might be impossible, you’ll never mistake the person you love . ”

When he was with Lan Xin, he’d always had a strange feeling . Although Lan Xin had the same movements and the same face, he’d felt that that person before him was becoming increasingly unfamiliar .

“After you’ve said so much, what is your choice, Chen Meile?”

Chen Meile stared at him as tears continuously rolled down her cheeks . She quickly put on her shoes, pushed Fu Bainian away, and then ran out of the office .

When Lan Jinyao arrived, her body was knocked into, and she saw Chen Meile crying as she pa.s.sed by .

She pushed the office door open, and asked as she walked in, “What was her choice?”

“Maybe choosing to conceal the secret, or maybe to kill you; who knows?”

Lan Jinyao felt coldness slowly creep its way down her spine .
