Chapter 125 Stealing a Man
The feeling of losing control made Song Yafei very unhappy, and her indifferent face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
"I will handle Zhang Tian's matter; it's not your place as an outsider."
Hu Mei smiled and said, "I made myself very clear just now. I am Zhang Tian's older sister, the older sister who grew up with me in the orphanage. Did you understand?"
The voice was soft, yet powerful.
To protect me, she didn't hesitate to reveal that she had been an orphan.
Song Yafei sneered, not to be outdone, "I also said that Zhang Tian doesn't have a sister. He lost both his parents when he was young. I am his only relative, not some random sister."
The two women's eyes met, and instantly, the atmosphere became tense and hostile.
This puts me in a very difficult position, and I don't know what to do.
"The closest person? I don't see that coming from you. You know that what happened in Zhang Tian's childhood is a pain in his heart, yet you keep bringing it up again and again. Have you ever considered his feelings?"
Upon hearing this, Song Yafei froze.
Perhaps only Hu Mei and I, both orphans, can understand the weight of what Hu Mei just said.
Song Yafei turned to look at me, her face showing a hint of guilt, but these emotions quickly slipped from the corners of her eyes.
This was not enough to stop Song Yafei's attack. "Madam, I have made myself very clear. Zhang Tian is my husband. We don't need you interfering in our affairs."
Hu Mei ignored Song Yafei's words and said with some dissatisfaction, "Little Tiantian, I didn't expect that after not seeing you for several years, you would be with such a domineering and unreasonable person."
Hu Mei's words were like a bowl of clear water, hitting me squarely in the face and instantly sobering me up.
I can't deny that I used to love Song Yafei, I loved her very much.
But the girl I love is sunny and kind, not the ruthless CEO Song in front of me.
But I also know that I can't let Hu Mei and Song Yafei confront each other head-on.
I know very well that if Song Yafei wanted to do something to her, it would be an easy thing to do.
Therefore, in order to avoid any unexpected events in Hu Mei's life, they had no choice but to send her away first.
"Sister Mei, you should go back and rest first. I will give you an answer as soon as possible regarding what the old lady wants. I will handle things here. You can go now."
Little did I know that my words were interpreted by Song Yafei as me choosing her.
She happily took my arm, "Let's go, don't bother us anymore. And if anything happens in the future, contact me, don't have any more contact with Zhang Tian in private."
As she spoke, she even took a business card out of her pocket and handed it to Hu Mei.
Hu Mei was reluctant, but she still accepted it politely.
However, after seeing the information on the business card, she showed a surprised expression and even looked at the contents of the business card again with uncertainty.
A few doubts arose in my mind, but Song Yafei remained calm and composed, looking as if she had everything under control.
Hu Mei stood up, picked up her bag from the sofa, and looked at me with some concern.
"Little Tian, remember, you can come to me anytime if you have any difficulties."
Whether it was a misperception or not, Hu Mei's elegant figure seemed to have become somewhat hesitant.
Even before leaving, he didn't forget to annoy Song Yafei.
After Hu Mei left, Song Yafei's smile disappeared without her noticing.
Just as she was about to explode, I stopped her, saying, "I need to go to the bathroom."
Regardless of whether she believed him or not, he pushed her aside and walked straight to the bathroom.
Before we even reached the restroom, Song Yafei pulled me into a private room and pinned me against the wall.
"Zhang Tian, what do you mean by this? Are you giving me attitude because of that woman?"
Giving someone a hard time?
When I give her the cold shoulder, she really knows how to turn the tables.
Hearing Song Yafei refer to Hu Mei as "that woman" over and over again was quite jarring.
I corrected her, "She has a name, her name is Hu Mei, not that woman. And our relationship isn't as sordid as you think."
I don't understand why she was so angry. I was just having dinner with an older sister I've known since childhood.
Was it worth such a strong reaction from her?
She only cared about criticizing me and didn't consider my feelings at all.
When did Song Yafei, whom I admire, become a woman who only cares about herself and doesn't care about other people's feelings?
Perhaps things have changed long ago, but I just didn't care.
Without realizing it, I seem to have fallen into a cycle.
I used to feel indebted to her, and I always tolerated it.
It wasn't until Hu Mei's words today that I truly began to consider that the Song Yafei I once loved might be long gone.
"Zhang Tian, you rarely act like this. But today you lost your temper with me because of her. Is she that important to you?"
"I just want you to understand that respecting someone is very simple!"
Song Yafei sneered, "Respect her? She doesn't deserve it!"
I read something else in her words, as if she wasn't blindly criticizing Hu Mei.
Could it be that they have some past connection?
But I haven't seen Hu Mei for many years.
Seeing my puzzled look, Song Yafei asked me, "Do you know who she is?"
Once I asked that question, I became quite certain that they had some kind of Chinese connection, even if I was unaware of it.
I looked at her, completely confused. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Song Yafei looked at me with a sneer, "It seems you really don't know who she is."
What kind of person is she?
Although I don't know what she's talking about, I know that a person's nature won't change.
My older sister, who took such good care of me when I was little, has changed somewhat, but I still trust her.
Moreover, in my memory, she is still the same. When I saw her again, she still felt so familiar.
Perhaps it was the help I received when I was a child that made me choose to believe in Hu Mei.
No matter what she was saying, I didn't want to listen anymore and turned to leave, but Song Yafei didn't let me have my way.
"You don't know this yet, do you? She's just like her mother, she likes to steal other women's men and is eager to become a mistress."
Hu Mei's mother?
Song Yafei continued her accusations with discontent, "Her mother ruined my mother's life. She took away her happiness and made her never dare to trust men again."
"Now her daughter is back to steal my husband. Those two mistresses, mother and daughter, are truly shameless!"
Stealing someone else's man?
At that moment, I suddenly felt like I understood something.
I also realized that Hu Mei had never mentioned her parents to me since she was a child.
She simply helped me in a critical moment, without mentioning a word about her own family affairs.
But in Song Yafei's words, how did it become that her mother was a mistress?
I don't know if her mother was a mistress, but Hu Mei is definitely not what she claims to be.
I'm so sure it's not her because Song Yafei was talking about me and Hu Mei.
I was even a little angry when I heard someone slandering Hu Mei.
"Enough! Stop talking nonsense. The reason why things are like this between us has nothing to do with anyone else. Even if it does involve someone else, that person is definitely not Hu Mei."
