Chapter 7 - Unpollinated Flower

Jing Lihua finally got to get a good night's sleep after stabilizing the company. When she woke up, it was already evening. Ha...? How long had she slept? She walked out of her room in a huge teeshirt and pajamas while rubbing her groggy eyes and was scared witless when she found a ghost standing at the apartment's door.

Later it was revealed it was not exactly a ghost but her best friend. Who looked no less scary than a ghost.

"When did I gave you my apartment keys?"

"You never did." Zhao Liying replied cheekily.

In her previous life, Su Liwei was determined to hurt her in every possible way. He made her cut ties with all her friends. In her last years, he had become too powerful. She didn't want to endanger any of her friends. So she herself kept her distance. The more people he found that she loved, the more means he had to hurt her.

"If you stop chuckling, would you care to explain how you passed all the security?"

"God. I can't stop. The way you screamed. Haha."

"You look like in an awfully good mood"

"Shouldn't I be? I get to meet my bestie after so long?" Zhao Liying took off her sunglasses revealing a gorgeous face and threw her suitcase on the couches.

"It was just a month"

Jing Lihua smiled and threw her arms around Zhao Liying. It might be a month for Zhao Liying but it was a lot more than that for Jing Lihua.

"Welcome back"

"Ladies. Ladies. I know you can't wait to jump at each other but please wait until you get to the apartment. I can't stand this obscenity. Don't defile my v.i.r.g.i.n eyes." Mo Liang poked his head through the open door of the apartment.

"Jesus can be gay but your eyes can't be v.i.r.g.i.n." Zhao Liying rolled her eyes.

"Slandering my chastity, are you?"

"I'm not slandering it. I'm denying its existence."

"Mo Liang." Jing Lihua's eyes brightened in happiness. She threw her arms around her blond friend.

"Hmm... Jing Lihua you smell nice. If you hug me just a little more tightly... Ow! Ow! Let go of my ear!"

After twisting his ear to her heart content and bruising it to a fine red color, she finally let go of his ear.

Mo Liang looked at Jing Lihua accusingly while placing a hand over his ear, making his typical angel-like face of the former famous star nicknamed Liang Prince that had once won over all the females of Asia. "Hua'er I didn't know you had such - such perverted orientation but for your love, I'm-I'm willing to endure the pain a-and be y-your submissive..."

Jing Lihua raised her hand to hit him. He evaded her attack while stepping back with a laugh. Jing Lihua didn't want to chase him around the apartment. It was what he had wanted. So he could make his next joke.

"Just five minutes in your presence and you have managed to drive the President of Tang enterprise into madness." Zhao Liying fell on the couches and made herself comfortable like it was her own home. "Careful. She is not the same Xiao Hua we used to bully. She is now the wifie of Su Liwei and of course, the President of the Tang enterprise. Did you not hear the news? She fired 50 people in the blick of an eye."

"So what? My father is Mo Ting, the CEO of Mo entertainment. I can bully my flower all I want."

Mo Liang was the sole heir to a massive entertainment corporate. Mo entertainment. She remembered from her previous life, at the time his father company was not that powerful but after Mo Liang took over the office he had raised it to new heights. It had become an international corporate.

"But now, her flower belongs to Su Liwei."

"I believe a flower belongs to no one as long as it is not pollinated." Mo Liang retaliated smoothly.

Jing Lihua stared at her two shameless friends as they continued without minding her at all. It was alright for Mo Liang but why was Zhao Liying acting this way too? Was his shamelessness contagious?

"And how can you be sure that this flower is not pollinated by Su Liwei yet?"

"And how can you be so sure it is?"

They both glared mutually at each other.

"Then let me remind you that you are currently standing in this flower territory that had just inherited thorns from its grandfather... Your daddy can't save you"

"Thorns... That sounds dirty."

"One more word and I'll call my bodyguards to kick you out." Jing Lihua's voice was deadly serious.

Mo Liang opened his mouth then closed it. Like an obedient child, he placed a finger on his smiling lips and nodded repeatedly.

Jing Lihua sighed and after ignoring Mo Liang, she asked Zhao Liying.

"When did you guys arrive? You could have told me. I would have received you."

"Just this morning"

"And you come straight to my apartment...? Your mother would be angry"

"I missed your wedding. I was dying to see how does a married Hua looks!"

"She is lying. She used you as an excuse to slip from her manager's hand." Mo Liang ruthlessly exposed her.

Zhao Liying glared at him coldly. "Forget that I'll ever introduce my colleague to you that you said was hot."

"You'll not need to introduce her to me. She'll come to me herself."

"What happened?" Those two were as dramatic as she remembered. She felt her heart filling with happiness after once again enjoying their company.

"She is getting fat." Mo Liang dropped the bomb directly.

Zhao Liying's face was filled with shock before she burst out. "Mo Liang, you f*cking liar! I just got five pounds! Just five pounds! Do you have to say it like that?"

"Then why did none of my newest tailored dress fit you?"

Zhao Liying fell silent for a moment before directing the blame on Mo Liang. "You took the wrong measurements. You are just finding excuses to blame your mistakes on me! How dishonorable!"

"Her father is angry. He asked her manager to strictly monitor her diet"

"More like starve me. Xiao Hua, do I look fat to you?"

Zhao Liying wasn't an A-list model for no reason. Her looks were heavenly. No matter what dress she wore, somehow she was capable of making it look stunning on her. That would bring out the largest number of orders and the highest biddings in auctions.
