Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"I was the one who actively pursued Xueqin. If you have any issue, come at me. Don't hurt her!"

The moment Wang Erhai said this, both Liu Meiqi and Yao Xueqin were stunned.

Liu Meiqi's shock was an inability to accept this fact.

Yao Xueqin's shock was worry that Wang Erhai's words would drive Liu Meiqi to extreme behavior.

As Liu Meiqi's close friend, Yao Xueqin knew Liu Meiqi's character all too well.

So before Liu Meiqi could speak, Yao Xueqin hurriedly stepped forward to explain:

"General Manager Wang, please don't speak such words that disregard the facts. We merely came to eat a meal. When did you ever pursue me?"

The moment Yao Xueqin said this, Wang Erhai was somewhat stunned.

It was obvious he hadn't expected Yao Xueqin to actually refute him in front of Liu Meiqi.

He had just spoken those words to protect Yao Xueqin, hadn't he?

He hadn't expected Yao Xueqin not to appreciate it.

Seeing this, Liu Meiqi let out a cold laugh:

"Yao Xueqin, do you still want to quibble even now?"

Yao Xueqin said, neither servile nor overbearing:

"Meiqi, it's really not what you think."

Then she hurriedly said to Wang Erhai:

"General Manager Wang, you should hurry and go. I'll handle the rest. I'll properly explain the misunderstanding between us to Meiqi."

"But..." Wang Erhai was a bit dumbfounded, feeling Yao Xueqin had stolen his lines.

He had originally planned to have Yao Xueqin leave first, while he shouldered everything.

He never expected Yao Xueqin to preempt him and say such words.

"No buts. With you here, Meiqi will never be able to speak calmly. Trust me, I'll smooth everything over!"

Yao Xueqin's gaze was sincere and determined.

Wang Erhai pondered briefly, then made a decision:

"Alright then. You talk to her. I'll leave first."

Wang Erhai didn't want to see Liu Meiqi either; he got annoyed whenever he saw her, so he chose to follow Yao Xueqin's suggestion.

After Wang Erhai left, Yao Xueqin said to Liu Meiqi:

"Meiqi, I know your emotions are very unstable right now, so I don't blame you for that slap you gave me just now. But I can't let you keep misunderstanding me. I can swear to the heavens: in this world, there is no sister who cares for you more than I do. Everything I've done has been for your own good."

Liu Meiqi naturally didn't believe Yao Xueqin's words; she only believed what she had seen with her own eyes.

So she coldly laughed:

"Hehe, Yao Xueqin, you really know how to put on an act. You've been caught red-handed by me, yet you still play the dead duck with a hard mouth."

Yet Yao Xueqin's gaze remained determined. She took out her mobile phone:

"Let me show you the WeChat chat records between me and Wang Erhai before we went out to eat. I have a clear conscience. If you still resent me after reading them, then there's nothing I can do."

Yao Xueqin then opened WeChat and showed Liu Meiqi the chat records between her and Wang Erhai.

Yao Xueqin: "General Manager Wang, Meiqi has finished the abortion and her body is uncomfortable. Do you want to go see her?"

Wang Erhai: "No need. Her body being uncomfortable has nothing to do with me."

Yao Xueqin: "General Manager Wang, doing it this way, isn't it a bit heartless? You two haven't divorced yet; she is still your wife."

Wang Erhai: "Miss Yao, I know you're very kind and have a strong sense of justice, but please don't interfere in the matters between me and Liu Meiqi, okay? Even an upright official finds it hard to judge family disputes, let alone an outsider like you. If you speak of Liu Meiqi to me again, I might just fall out with you."

Yao Xueqin: "Alright, it was me meddling. I actually had no other thoughts. I just felt Meiqi was quite pitiful. I was purely acting out of kindness. If I offended you, I'm truly sorry..."

Wang Erhai: "It's fine, I don't blame you. If there's blame, blame Liu Meiqi. If Liu Meiqi had even one-tenth of your reasonableness, we wouldn't have ended up like this."

Yao Xueqin: "General Manager Wang, your mood probably isn't great right now either. How about we go out for a meal? I'll treat. Consider it my apology to you."

Wang Erhai: "You treating me to this meal, you wouldn't happen to be bringing Liu Meiqi along, would you?"

Yao Xueqin: "No, no. Just purely to apologize to you."

Liu Meiqi read these chat records between Yao Xueqin and Wang Erhai, and couldn't help but be astonished. Her heart gave a sudden jolt, and she was no longer so certain. Could it be that she had truly misunderstood Yao Xueqin?

You see, in these WeChat chat records, Yao Xueqin hadn't said a single bad word about Liu Meiqi from start to finish, nor was there a single sentence that was ambiguous with Wang Erhai.

Yao Xueqin explained at this time:

"Meiqi, the reason I went to great lengths to arrange a meal with Wang Erhai was merely to persuade him to accompany you to the hospital for a follow-up. If I hadn't found the excuse of apologizing to him, he probably wouldn't have come out to see me at all."

Liu Meiqi's gaze became guilty.

Yao Xueqin continued:

"I originally planned to bring you along, but before I could even open my mouth, Wang Erhai asked if I was going to bring you. Under those circumstances, I naturally couldn't bring you along; otherwise, there would've been no way to talk to him."

Hearing Yao Xueqin's explanation, Liu Meiqi felt even more guilty:

"Xueqin, I'm sorry. I just now... I really shouldn't have slapped you. Slap me back..."

But Yao Xueqin said:

"I don't blame you. I know you're in a bad mood right now. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Why did I have to take time out of my busy work to meet Wang Erhai? Also, I should have told you in advance. I didn't do well enough."

Hearing this, Liu Meiqi's guilt reached its peak.

"Xueqin, just slap me back once. No, slap me back three times. I'm sorry, truly sorry. You thought so much for me, yet I misunderstood you. I deserve to die. I'm not human!"

As she spoke, Liu Meiqi grabbed Yao Xueqin's hand, wanting Yao Xueqin to slap her.

Yao Xueqin naturally wanted very much to fiercely slap Liu Meiqi several slaps.

But because Liu Meiqi and Wang Erhai had not yet processed the divorce procedures, the matter was not board nailed down, she deeply knew she still needed to endure, so she continued to pretend:

"Mei Qi, don't say these words, I don't blame you, I am a person who has been through it, I very much understand your mood, we are good sisters, a lifetime's good sisters, don't bother with these small misunderstandings."

Yao Xueqin very generously forgave.

Liu Meiqi however could not forgive herself, she saw Yao Xueqin was unwilling to slap her face, so she slapped her own face:

"I deserve to die, I truly deserve to die, Xueqin, how could I misunderstand you, you are my good best friend!"

"Pa, pa, pa!"

Liu Meiqi while speaking apology words, while fiercely slapping her own face.

Yao Xueqin pretended to go stop her, but did not pull very forcefully.

Allowing Liu Meiqi to slap herself several slaps, face all slapped bright red, only then did she say:

"Mei Qi, don't be like this, our misunderstanding resolved is good, I know your mood is not good now, come, give you a hug, we are a lifetime's good sisters, right?"

Liu Meiqi was hugged by Yao Xueqin, she felt unprecedented warmth, nodded heavily:

"Mm, a lifetime's good sisters!"

That moment, she truly regarded Yao Xueqin as a lifetime's good sister.

She felt she could do anything for Yao Xueqin, including die.
