"Just give her the phone. Don't ask questions." Ming Qu had a look of askance but he didn't argue with Ye Jie any further.

"Xiao Xia?" Ye Jie heard Ming Qu's voice calling Wu Xia.

"Yes, baby!" He heard Wu Xia's faint voice from the other side.

"Could you please come here, Ye Jie wants to talk to you," Ming Qu said.

"Ye Jie?" Wu Xia's voice got closer. "You mean sister Mey's husband?" Ye Jie figured Ming Qu must have nodded because the next reply came, "Give the phone to me then."

"Oh, Hello! Jie Ge-Ge?" Her addressing him as big brother surprised Ye Jie but he didn't mind it. Even before Ye Jie could say anything, Wu Xia spoke, "How are you? How is sister Mey? I haven't spoken to her in a long time. Sorry, I couldn't attend the wedding.

I so wanted to but that idiot brother of mine didn't let me. Even dad went to the wedding." She was aggrieved. "But since dad went alone, he had been sleeping in the guest room for a week now. Haha! Mom was very upset that he didn't bring her along. Oh, I almost forgot, why did you want to talk to me?"

'Thank God you just remembered that. Ah! She really talks a lot.' Even though Ye Jie was not used to this much talking but he was actually feeling relaxed listening to her complaining nonstop. She felt like a little sister mithering about being wronged.

"Do you know where Wu Wang is?" He asked.

"Huh? Wang-Ge is out of the country." She replied innocently.

"But he came to my house yesterday." Ye Jie claimed.

"What? Wang Ge is back? He was supposed to come after 2 weeks." She fell quiet for a minute. "Jie Ge-Ge? Is sister Mey alright? There is no way Wang Ge would come back so suddenly unless it has something to do with sister Mey." She asserted.

"She... She is fine now. Why don't you come to meet her over the next weekend and see for yourself?" Ye Jie offered.

"Oh, okay!" Her voice was cheerful. "I'll come for sure." She declared.

"Yes, please do." Ye Jie smiled. "Do you have any idea where Wu Wang could be?" Ye asked again.

"Mmm... If he had gone to the office, mom would have told me... Then... He must be at his penthouse in the suburbs." She came to a conclusion.

"Can you give me the address Xia Mei-Mei?" Hearing 'little sister Xia' in Ye Jie's soft voice felt so good to Wu Xia that she was over the moon.

"Yes yes... Of course..." She replied cheerfully. She gave Wu Wang's address to him joyously.

"I'll see on the weekend, Mei-Mei." Ye Jie smiled. His voice filled with gratitude.

During the lunch break, Ye Jie left the office and drove towards the suburbs. Ye Jie was walking to the lobby when Wu Wang entered the building wearing casual clothes. As Wu Wang's eyes fell on Ye Jie, he scowled.

Before Wu Wang could ask, 'Why are you here?' Ye Jie answered the question himself. "I'm here to meet you, Mr. Wu." Ye Jie replied in a business-like tone.

Wu Wang sighed and said, "Follow me!" He stepped into the private elevator with Ye Jie trailing behind him. They quietly entered his penthouse.

Wu Wang turned to Ye Jie and said, "Why did you want to see me?"

"Why? Can't I want to see you?" Ye Jie answered with his own question.

"I think you already got the idea that I'm not very fond of you." Wu Wang retorted in all honesty.

Ye Jie sniggered. "The idea I got is that none of you are fond of me." Wu Wang looked at his face with an arched brow. "The only difference is that you're very open about it. And that's why I'm here... Lin Shen has a way with words. Li Qiao is strict with his words.

As for He Jian, *sigh* he's a mystery. The kind that scares me."

Wu Wang chuckled at his last remark. "Since you share my views about He Jian, you can take a seat." Wu Wang finally offered him to take a seat. "Would you like to drink something?"

"Just water." Ye Jie replied while sitting down. As Wu Wang left to take water, Ye Jie looked around his penthouse. It had a very sophisticated feel to it with minimalistic design. The most eye-catching things were the paintings hung on the walls. Before Ye Jie could focus much on the paintings, Wu Wang brought a water bottle for him and sat beside him.

"So," Ye Jie looked up at his face as he heard his voice, "What brought you to my humble abode?"

Ye Jie took another sip of water. He rummaged out his cellphone and pushed it towards Wu Wang. Wu Wang was skeptical but when his eyes fell on the video, he froze. He watched the video in silence. Even after the video ended, his eyes were frozen on the screen. With a jolt, he came out of his daze as he asked, "You didn't show this to Xu Mey, did you?"

Ye Jie shook his head and Wu Wang sighed. "How do you have it? Did you pry into her past?" Before Ye Jie could defend himself he heard, "No... You can't possibly find it even after looking. The only people who have it-" He stopped as a furious fire burned in his eyes. "Which one was it?

The evil stepmother? Or her witch daughter?" Ye Jie saw the way his hands were clenched.

"I'll choose the latter one." He replied calmly seemingly not affected by Wu Wang's outburst.

"Do you believe it?" Wu Wang's voice was low very much unlike his usual self.

"If I did, I would have been confronting my wife instead of coming to see you."

"Then why are you really here" If Ye Jie didn't believe the video, there was no reason for him to be here at all. There had to be something else. And true to Wu Wang's speculations, Ye Jie showed him the photos of the documents. "Do you believe these?"

"After her nightmare, I do." Ye Jie replied honestly.

Wu Wang sighed feeling drained all of a sudden. "Don't bother believing it." Ye Jie frowned at his reply. "While the documents do say that she spent 4 years there but in reality, she spent only a year."

Ye Jie was shaken. "Why does it say 4 years then?"

Wu Wang shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "Although I don't know who got her out of there or why? Or why the documents say 4 years? But I know only one thing, there was someone who saved her back then. And whoever he is, I'm thankful to him. She would have died otherwise."
