Mei Zhen was fuming inwardly all this while, at the scene which Mrs . Xie had created . But Tang's words sent a chill down her spine . She would rather accept a face of loss because of the divorce than jeopardise her freedom and much more, to fight for a marriage which didn't seem worth so much now .
"There is no need to threaten me, Tang . I would never impose myself on you forcibly . All this while, I had secretly hoped that you would realise my true feelings for you . Since you are hell bent on destructing your life because of that woman, I won't stand in your way . I don't think my heart will be able to see you get hurt because of that cold, unfeeling b****," she said dramatically .
Tang clenched his hands tightly .
"If I were you, I would tread very carefully around the person who holds the card to your possible loss of freedom . Also, please remember this . If I ever find out that you have been bad mouthing my mother, my girl or anyone whom I hold dear, I wouldn't hesitate to destroy you . Manslaughter doesn't have a time lapse on the penalty . I was a victim of it at your hands as well . So think hard about your welfare before you say or do anything in the future," he told her coldly .
Mei Zhen paled visibly at his words .
But Mr . Xie who had stood silently all this while, spoke up .
"What Mei Zhen said, is absolutely right . Jia Li is a cold and unfeeling person . She can't even to begin appreciate all that you have done for her, the sacrifices you have made, the risks which you have taken . While you stand here, fighting against your own family and loved ones, where is she?" He asked sarcastically .
Tang felt the sting of his father's words go right down to his marrow . His father had accurately caught the one point of contention which had been brewing in his own mind as well .
"I don't see how that impacts either of you . Considering you both left no stone unturned to keep her away from me, please don't bother showering me with your care and concern . I won't be able to digest it . Now if we are done with the whole pointless conversation, I will take your leave," he said and left .
"Hello Li Jie, this is Wang Wei," he had picked up the call on Jia Li's phone .
"Oh! Thank God someone finally picked up the damn phone . Where is that girl? She is so dead . I haven't heard from her ever since Tang's accident . Any progress on his return of memory . How are you doing? What's the progress on your love story," he rattled off the questions, one after the other .
Wei took a deep breath . He was already regretting picking up the call . Slowly, he started to explain the whole series of events to Li Jie .
Li Jie disconnected the call abruptly and dialled Tang immediately .
"How could you do that? What were you thinking really?" he shouted through the phone .
"You finally called . Go ahead and get it all out . But after that, just tell her to speak with me . I am ready to accept any punishment which she doles out . All these days, I have been waiting for her to call me . Please put her on," Tang said with relief in his voice .
"What do you mean? You think she is here with me?" Li Jie asked, nonplussed .
"Are you going to play dumb now? Has she asked you not to tell me about her whereabouts? You also know that it is better that she and I speak about it rather than let the hurt fester," Tang cajoled him .
"Xie Tang, I have been trying to call Jia Li for days now but her cell phone was not reachable . Today was the first day that it connected and was picked up by Wei . He is the one who told me about the whole episode, including the nightmare with Fu . Jia Li hasn't been in touch with me or with Deng Chung . I know this because I just spoke to him yesterday . Basically, you are trying to tell me that no one knows where she is . And you are sitting on your a** assuming that she is here in Beijing . When will you stop making mistakes? Are you happy now?"
