"You are doing this deliberately. Trying to make up things to get even with me. I mean, who in their right mind would concoct a scheme like that?" she looked at him, hoping that he would take back his words, deny them.

Tang gave her a freezing look, "at least in this, we are alike. Both of us got spurred into action when the jealousy reared its head. Once I got to know that Jia Li was not married anymore, my own circ.u.mstances ceased to matter. On top of that, the increasing proximity between Wei and Jia Li made me realise that I needed to act fast. You wouldn't have simply granted me my wish of getting a divorce from you. After all, you value your social status much more than yours or anyone else's actual feelings. So I had to go the roundabout way."

The casual air with which he uttered the last sentence incensed Mei Zhen even further. It was as if someone had added oil to a flaming fire. She lunged at him and managed to scratch his face before he grab her hands and stop her.

"Tut, tut…imagine what would people say if they were to look at you in this state?" he kept showering her with his verbal a.s.sault.

His heart couldn't reconcile with the fact that she stood waiting outside when his Jia Li lay in a pool of her own blood. Even if Mei Zhen had a grudge, she should have directed it against him. Going after the woman he loves, NOT ACCEPTABLE, NOT FORGIVABLE.
