Mo Shengsheng got out of the taxi and paid without intending to have the driver wait because she wasn't sure exactly when Su Xinyue would land.
After waiting for about ten minutes, she got Xinyue's call that the plane already touched down.
Mo Shengsheng headed to the waiting area and waited. She texted Su Xinyue where she was and lowered her head to scroll through her phone not knowing that she had become the subject of admiration.
Many who walked passed would slow down to take a closer look at the girl. Her smooth forehead and perfectly carved eyebrows accentuated her small nose.
A man unconsciously wanted to approach her when a scream tore through the crowd. The girl raised her eyes and her eyes lit up.
The crowd parted as another girl ran over and jumped into her embrace.
"Shengsheng I missed you so much!"
Mo Shengsheng struggled to catch Su Xinyue but her strength wasn't enough and they both tumbled onto the ground. Both girls looked at each other and burst out laughing before helping each other up.
Su Xinyue observed Mo Shengsheng carefully for any traces of depression but found that she looked even better than before. She clicked her tongue twice.
"Evil men are really the bane of good women."
Mo Shengsheng didn't respond, silently showing her stance. She helped Su Xinyue drag one of her suitcases.
"You came early than I thought."
Su Xinyue shrugged.
"I picked the earliest flight after our phonecall. There's no way I would let you face something like this on your own."
Mo Shengsheng's heart felt warm.
"Thank you Xingyue."
Su Xinyue didn't think much about it.
"What are friends for?"
They both dragged two large suitcases to the entrance and waited for a taxi.
Su Xinyue felt even more disdainful towards Liu Yutong.
"He couldn't even bear to part with one car?"
Mo Shengsheng was unbothered.
"I don't like any of the models in his garage anyways. They're all so ugly, there's no way I'll drive any of that."
Su Xinyue thought of Mo Shengsheng's aesthetics and felt like it made sense.
After waiting for a short while, they managed to catch a taxi. The bags were loaded into the boot and both girls got into the backseat.
The driver asked for the address and Su Xinyue reported the address of her apartment.
Although she hadn't been back in years, the place had always been under Mo Shengsheng's care so she wasn't worried it would be inhabitable.
They got down and paid. The driver even helped them move the bags to the door.
Mo Shengsheng took put the key from under the flower pot and they opened the door.
The house was clean without a single speck of dust. The air was fresh as well although a bit heavy but it wasn't damp and musty.
It wasn't at all like a house that had not been loved in for years and Su Xinyue knew this was all thanks to Mo Shengsheng.
They opened the windows and aired out the rooms before settling in the living room.
Mo Shengsheng dropped the cakes on the dinning for later.
The refrigerator was empty so they went to the convenience store in the community and bought food and cooking ingredients. Mo Shengsheng was in charge of rolling the cart while Su Xinyue picked out the ingredients.
Mo Shengsheng was happy with this arrangement as she wouldn't know what to pick anyways. She was a famous kitchen killer. The food she cooked might look beautiful but it was never edible.
After several failed trials, she simply gave up and told herself that cooking was simply not her strong forte.
They checked out and carried several big bags back to the apartment where Su Xinyue placed them all in order.
Mo Shengsheng wasn't all that hungry yet and neither was Su Xinyue so both women who had never had the problem of having to watch their weights took out a bag of chips, some soda crackers and two cans of fruit juice to pair with the cakes then sat directly on the floor.
Su Xinyue took a sip of her drink.
"Okay, spill. What exactly are the details of what happened between you and Liu Yutong?"
Mo Shengsheng shrugged, noncommittal.
"He seems to have a sweetheart or something before getting married to me. They were together since we were in college and their relationship continued even after our marriage."
Su Xinyue could help but frown. Liu Yutong was really an asshole for wanting to eat from the pot and the plate.
"Do you know this woman?"
Mo Shengsheng shook her head. She didn't think she examined the photos long enough but she was sure that wasn't a familiar face.
She opened the photos on her phone and passed it to Su Xinyue.
Su Xinyue looked at the pictures and was utterly disgusted. Men. They all think with their lower bodies. But soon enough, something else attracted her attention.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at that face and could be sure it was who she thought it was.
"F*ck!"
Mo Shengsheng looked at her.
"What is it?"
Su Xinyue passed the phone back to her.
"You say you really don't know this woman?"
Mo Shengsheng shook her head again but with much less convinction this time. She was sure she had never seen that face before.
Su Xinyue saw her like this and knew that she really didn't remember.
"It's Zhu Yuting! That girl from the drama department who always liked to copy you in everything. My skin still crawls when I think about it. Do you remember now?"
Mo Shengsheng thought hard and realized that this person seemed to exist? It had been so long ago and she never considered this woman important so she didn't even remember her face.
"I think I know her now. She's the one who would always bump into us and start putting on green tea acts at random times right?"
Su Xinyue slapped her legs twice
"Yes! That's the one. I never thought she hooked up with Liu Yutong so far back."
Mo Shengsheng also found it incredible. This girl likes to emulate her in everything and she heard people say countless times how much they resembled but it only made her disgusted because she knew the girl was doing it on purpose.
She didn't have much interaction with this person but she was sure she was extremely vain and could not pass up on the chance to be Mrs Liu. So why has she been Liu Yutong's mistress without saying anything?
"It's a bit weird though. I don't think she hooked up with Liu Yutong in thoughts of being a mistress. Why didn't she leave when he married me instead?"
Su Xinyue looked at her as though saying you're still too innocent for this world.
"With the kind of benefits Liu Yutong can provide for her, it doesn't really matter if she's the wife or not. As long as she's his woman. Besides, she probably knows how he treats you and is just happy to be riding over your head while you remain unaware."
This was another thing Mo Shengsheng didn't understand. She didn't think she offended this Zhu Yuting in any way before but the girl targeted her inexplicably.
"Is she just planning to keep on being his side piece for life? If I didn't find out now would this farce have continued?"
Su Xinyue shrugged. She wasn't very clear on how people like those think.
"She is making it in life so I don't know. She's a big star in the entertainment industry and many people look up to her as a goddess."
Mo Shengsheng didn't know this. She never paid attention to the entertainment industry and she wasn't one to chase stars either.
Before she could speak, her phone started ringing. She took it out and sneered softly. Su Xinyue mouthed a name and she nodded to which the other woman rolled her eyes.
Mo Shengsheng smiled faintly and picked up the call.
"Hello?"
Liu Yutong's voice came from the other side slightly panting. She had thought his voice was suave and charming but now she just found it greasy.
"Baby have you seen Su Xinyue? It's almost time for dinner do you want me to send the driver?"
Mo Shengsheng didn't hesitate to decline.
"No need. I'm spending the night with Xingue today. I'll come find you at your office tomorrow okay."
He agreed and she ended the call. Su Xinyue looked at her weirdly.
"He doesn't know yet?"
Mo Shengsheng smiled.
"Nope."
"What are you going to find him for tomorrow?"
Mo Shengsheng tilted her head
"Give him the divorce papers of course."
Su Xinyue couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You're really my friend. Shengsheng I missed you alot."
Mo Shengsheng hummed softly.
"I missed you too Xingue."
