Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

Mei Qingyang was at a loss of words. Why would this lady take out her anger of my old man on me? If you have problems with that guy, why not talk to him directly, okay?

Yu Rong's facial features were still not very visible but her round spectacles were reflecting the light. One could also see how seductively she had dressed, a bright red shirt with top buttons open to show her cleavage and a tight black skirt. Bright red lipstick adorned her plump lips and a layer of heavy make-up was present on her face. If not for her voice and fame in the country, she could easily pass as someone in her mid-20s with an affinity for heavy make-up, of course.

"I am very sorry to make you worried about me." Mei Qingyang bowed down politely. It was not that she wanted to apologize. But she wanted to take advantage of the people influencing skills she had been developing for the past six years to make this person let her guard down. And perhaps deal with it with a little diplomacy. However, the sharp and cold look in her eyes betrayed her words.

Yu Rong flinched a bit seeing the dark expression on Mei Qingyang's face. It was very eerie and familiar, like evoking a past memory from somewhere. She just could not remember it but it was very heart trembling for her. Nonetheless, she masked her fear with absolute anger.

"Hmph! Who is worried about you? Are you even worth it? That old man taught you well huh? Twisting my words like anything. I am worried about getting infected with bad genes of yours. Who knows what origins you have? I, for one, am pretty sure that that old man only had one son. Now he claims that he has you as a daughter. Unless you are an illegitimate child, he cannot explain your existence. Why would he adopt someone for no reason otherwise? Perhaps, that's why he sent you here, to abandon you!", Yu Rong swirled her chair towards the window and started looking outside again as if keeping an eye on someone and to hide the fear she was feeling looking at this girl.

"Now get lost before I need to throw something else on you again. I don't want my office to be contaminated by your filth. Don't show me your face ever again." Without even swirling her chair back, she ordered her receptionist, "Wang Hao, you will deal with her from now on. Also, bring a disinfectant and air freshener here and clean up that broken vase. Take it out of her salary by the way."

Mei Qingyang bowed and left the room in a calm and composed manner. Although she wanted to get out of there as soon as possible for if she heard any more insults, especially about her dad, she would have ripped her mouth off. But, she also wanted to make sure that the lady knows that she was not affected much by her tantrums.

Wang Hao came out of the office as well. He stopped her and gave her some instructions with a stern face, "We have opened the room we have used for previous superintendents. You should be honored by the fact that you would be attending our college. This has never happened before and so, as an underprivileged student, you're getting way more than you deserve."

Wait wait wait! So, no words about what just happened inside? What if that vase had hit me? No apologies? No explanation? What does it mean? On the top of that, you are lecturing me again?

The receptionist took out a rusted key from one of the drawers that seemed to be full of old stuff and handed it to her without looking, "Here is the key to your room. Once you get out of here, turn right and keep walking straight. You will go to the tallest building there. Your room is in the bas.e.m.e.nt of that building. Number is written on the key. You will have phone in your room as well. We will be in touch." After giving her some robotic instructions, he went away to Yu Rong's office without giving her even a slightest glance.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she came out of the building. She sat down on the stairs for ten minutes before strolling towards the place the receptionist had pointed her to. She was still trying to process what had happened earlier. Got scolded by two people, almost got killed by her new boss, what else was to come? She was still in a daze.

She also realized it had gotten hotter than earlier. Since she had just reached the building while lost in her thoughts, she checked her watch and realized it was already lunch time. The sun was over her head. And the building before her was humongous. It perhaps had around 30-40 floors. That many floors just for one of the hostels? She looked up to try to find the top of the building and got blinded by the blazing sun.

What she failed to notice was that a person was climbing down the stairs of this tall building and both of them bumped into each other. The collision was a bit strong and she fell down.

---------------------------------------------

"Did you see her? Did she not dodge that flower vase I threw?", Yu Rong had a glass of champagne in her hand.

"I did not see her moving from her original spot my lady.", Wang Hao did not want to tell her that her aim might have been wrong.

"What, do you want to tell me that my aim was off? I definitely directed it towards her head. Would have been great if I killed her then and there. Lucky bastard.", Yu Rong stood up from her chair and advanced towards Wang Hao slowly.

"My lady, that's not what I meant. I think you need to exercise caution with this girl. Today's move might have been a bit reckless. That old man claims she is his daughter after all."

"Hmph! I didn't spare his own son; do I need to even worry about this illegitimate girl?"

"No, my lady. I know your capabilities quite well. What I am saying is, Minister Jiang would not be so reckless to send another one of his own people if he did not have any tricks up his sleeves. We need to be cautious of this girl for now. Daughter or not, she definitely has some special identity. I have been trying to look into her but to no avail. She does not have any background at all, her history only starts four years ago for some reason." Wang Hao adjusted his spectacles while reporting all the information he had.

"Hmm… you are probably correct. I should have restrained myself, that was too direct. But I just can't stand filthy peasants.", Yu Rong fiddled with the Wang Hao's tie. "You would take care of her for me again, won't you Hao?", she whispered in his ears seductively.

"As you wish my lady.", Wang Hao embraced Yu Rong tightly and ravaged her lips like a hungry wolf.
