Chapter 290 - A Million Dollar Question

Xu Mey had to drive for an hour to reach the airport since that was the location Jun Li Na texted her. She really had no idea what awaited her but she’d been hoping that nothing was wrong with Jun Li Na.

After parking the car when she finally found Jun Li Na waving at her from afar, Xu Mey heaved a sigh of relief to see her safe and sound. But seeing Jun Li Na bouncing around in an exuberant manner, she had the urge to punch her face.

She was worried about this girl and here she was acting so cheerful.

"What took you so long?" Jun Li Na didn’t notice Xu Mey’s dark look as she held her arm and yanked her with herself inside the airport.

"You sent me an SOS." Xu Mey tried her best to hide her rage as she enunciated each word.

"Huh? Yeah, I did." Jun Li Na didn’t think that she was in the wrong for sending an SOS. For her, this matter was of utmost importance.

"You said something is about to explode," Xu Mey added through her gritted teeth.

"Something is definitely about to explode. You can see for yourself," Xu Mey followed Jun Li Na’s gaze and her eyes went wide to see He Susu waiting outside the VVIP exit.

"What is my mother-in-law doing here?" Xu Mey furrowed her brows a bit and added, "Anyways, it’s not some emergency. She might be here to receive someone. Do you know I even borrowed a car to get here? How can you make me worry by saying it’s an emergency?" Xu Mey was fuming at the moment and even Jun Li Na could feel her temperature rising.

"Oho... My dear friend, can’t you see that your mother-in-law is not alone?" Now that she mentioned it, Xu Mey noticed all those men standing upright beside her as if waiting for a command. "Don’t tell me that you can’t even recognize the chief of police of our city."

Well, Xu Mey really couldn’t recognize the chief of police or any of the people surrounding He Susu. "Are you sure that’s the chief of police?" Xu Mey gave Jun Li Na an uncertain look.

"There are two kinds of people who can’t be mistaken about the police; the first one is the member of the law and second is the criminal. As you know, I come from a Mafia family, there is no way I’d have any doubts about this." Jun Li Na answered with certainty.

Xu Mey pressed her lips together to think for a moment. "What exactly is happening here?" She couldn’t help but voice out her question.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Now that you’ve asked, let me enlighten you," Jun Li Na smiled slyly which took Xu Mey by surprise. Oddly, she thought she saw a reflection of Jun Li Na’s grandmother in Jun Li Na herself. That was a weird analogy. "I just used my contacts to check," Xu Mey gave her a skeptical look and Jun Li Na scrunched up her nose saying, "Fine... I used grandmother’s connections and through that, I had come to know that your fake mother-in-law is landing in the city tonight. And if I’m not wrong, your real mother-in-law is here for some action."

Xu Mey was taken aback a bit. Did He Susu really come for Zhou Ning? And if yes then why did she choose to come all alone? Surely, she brought members of police but what about her other family members?

"I must say your real mother-in-law has brought quite an entourage with herself. I mean from the chief of police to all those detectives and even that famous lawyer is trailing behind her like she’s some kind of a queen." Jun Li Na kept admiring He Susu while Xu Mey stayed quiet. She officially was clueless about her next course of action.

’Should I call Ah-Jie? But if I did, this might blow up even more... No matter what he still thinks that he’s indebted to Zhou Ning for raising him all these years. Urgh! What should I do?’ Xu Mey’s internal monologue was going on as she disregarded whatever Jun Li Na was babbling about.

"But then again, I think it’s reasonable and not that surprising for your real mother-in-law to bring all these government officials. After all, she comes from the He Family which happens to be a military family from generations. Also, her husband’s family is even more influential since all the people in the Zhu family are either politicians or government officials. Sigh..." Jun Li Na noticed that Xu Mey wasn’t paying any attention to whatever she said and shook Xu Mey a bit violently. "Listen to me!"

"What?" Xu Mey shrieked a bit loudly at being shaken awake from her reverie and scowled at her friend.

"I’m saying you have quite a luck when it comes to in-laws. Considerably, Ye family is already one of the elite families in the city but as for your real in-laws," Jun Li Na sighed heavily as she continued, "They are from a nobler and majestic lineage."

"Nana, I married Ah-Jie not his family whether it’s fake or real, my concern is only with Ah-Jie. He’s my husband and I’ll be wherever he’d be." Jun Li Na smiled a bit when she heard Xu Mey’s words. "Right now, just suggest me what should I do? Should I go over to support my mother-in-law or not?"

Jun Li Na also fell in deep thought at this question. It seemed like a million dollar question. Rightfully, Xu Mey should go to support her mother-in-law but on the other hand, she might end up offending He Susu since the woman didn’t even bring her own husband with herself.
