Jiang Nuo took his daughter to his own office room in the house. Mei Qingyang wasn''t feeling very confident, how was she going to face him? Then she saw her mom following the two, so she relaxed a little bit. As soon as the trio entered the room, the door was shut tight. Her dad had made sure that his office was soundproof, since he had many private and national security related conversations with other ministers and government employees. This was convenient for everyone.

    Outside, with the thump of the door, Yu Tian''s heart sank. Would she be alright? Should he not have let her go? But what could he do in the front of that tiger of her dad? He looked at Su Lang worriedly, his palms started sweating. What was going to happen to them?

    Su Lang patted his back, he knew his friend was struggling. He had never seen his uncle that serious. He was not like that even when his own son died. That time, he perhaps had no idea what had happened, really. Now he knew well what would happen to mingle with Yu family. No wonder he was so against this relationship.

    Su Lang sighed inwardly and patted his friend''s shoulder again. This was the only way he could provide his support right now.

    "She''s not coming back, you do understand that right?" Li Hanyu suddenly spoke up seeing how tensed the guests were. He did not want to give them false hopes who were just staring at the direction Mei Qingyang had left, like she would come back within minutes.

    "What do you mean not coming back?" Yu Tian''s nerves were fazed some more. He felt like he had already lost her and it was not a great feeling. He could kill someone right about now. That sense of loss he once had experienced with that one girl, he did not want to go through it again. But this girl was way more special than that one. If he really lost her, he would probably never recover. She had become such a huge support system to him, that he could not really imagine his life without her now.

    "That''s exactly what I mean. I haven''t seen her dad this pissed off, ever. And I have spent more years with him than even Qing Qing. The way I see it, he''s probably planning to pull her out of the college and lock her in the house," Li Hanyu stated the facts in front of the boys.

    "Pulling out? Is he so against their relationship? He, the most open-minded person I know, is going to lock her up?" Su Lang could not believe his ears. Why would his uncle do that?

    Okay fine, he had a grudge against Yu Rong, but how was it connected to his friend? Just blood?

    "Qing Qing, I''m so disappointed. I had told you to stay away from him. Why does it have to be him?" There was sadness and anguish in Jiang Nuo''s eyes. He really felt betrayed. When he had heard the report, he had dismissed it as false. He had even scolded his underling for lying to him.

    He had faith in his heart that his daughter would not do something like that although he had been hearing about it quite often. His heart had broken into thousand pieces when he saw the video of these both not denying their servant-master relationship. What did it mean for them? Young foolish love perhaps? Or probably that Yu guy had trapped his daughter in his honey trap because that Yu witch was afraid of his revenge.

    Whatever the reason, these two could never be together.

    "But dad, you''re not even hearing Tian''s side of story. He''s himself a victim," Mei Qingyang tried to persuade her dad. They had just started their relationship. It seemed like her dad wanted to nip the problem in the bud.

    "Victim? That guy belongs to Yu family. YU FAMILY! What victim? They make others victims of their vicious schemes. How can they be victims of anything?" Jiang Nuo lost his cool and started yelling at his daughter.

    "Dear, calm down. We can talk this out," Mrs. Jiang interrupted the two. Mei Qingyang finally saw her ally. She tried to appeal to her mom.

    "Mom, listen, he might be heir of Yu family but he is nothing like his aunt, please trust me," she tried her best with her puppy eyes. She knew if she was able to get her mom on her side, then it would be easy to handle her dad. Plus, didn''t she like him very much just now? Her eyes were shining like she had found her son when she was interacting with Yu Tian earlier. Mei Qingyang really had put all her hopes in her mom.

    "Qing Qing, my child." Mrs. Jiang called out gently. She was standing earlier, but now she stepped ahead and took her daughter''s hand in her own hand. Then she made her sit down on the nearby sofa, sitting beside her.

    "Mom," Mei Qingyang was almost sure that her mom was going to ask her a few questions and then she would make her dad understand that it was okay for them to be together.

    "My child, his family is a bunch of murderers. Why do you want to be associated with them?" Mrs. Jiang dropped the bomb.

    "Mom?!" Mei Qingyang could not really believe what she was hearing. She thought… just now her mother was so courteous with Yu Tian. Could she really change her mind now that those words had come out of her mouth?

    "No Qing Qing, I know what you are thinking. But you should understand our plight too. Why would you think we would care for an almost dead child? We have been burning in this fire of hatred since our son died. Who will give our souls justice? Why do you think we put so much time in you my dear?" Mrs. Jiang said all this with a smile on her face. She still had ''we are the only ones suffering right now'' expression. As Mei Qingyang was listening, her eyes started growing cold.

    "So you mean to say, all that ''do not go to that school, we do not want to lost our second child'' yada yada, they were all a farce?" Mei Qingyang first looked into her mother''s eyes and then glanced at her father. Their demeanor did reveal that she had hit the bull''s eye.

    But her mom continued, "No, we were really attached to you. We would not really want to put you in danger. But seeing your determination, we really thought we had a chance. And that''s why you got our support. But now that you are doing this, you think you have the right to tell us that you are going to bring justice to our Bo?" Tears had formed at the corner of her mom''s eyes.

    But it did not faze Mei Qingyang at all. She was seeing through their real nature just now. Where was this countenance for all these years? How did she overlook this whole thing? It was like her whole life was a lie, not once but twice!

    Mei Qingyang''s body slumped backward on the sofa. She started recollecting her life as Mei Qingyang. Slowly, all her memories with her parents started shattering like glass. She pinched herself but she was not in a dream. Her foster parents were basically telling her that she was a tool of revenge since the beginning. On the top of that, they were putting it all on her!

    "Mom, I am just a few steps away from taking Yu Rong down. Do you really want to drag Tian into this?" Mei Qingyang asked her mom giving up.

    "Look at you! You ungrateful child! You are on first name basis with him now? Don''t even take his name in front of me," Mrs. Jiang started bawling. Her red eyes were full of pain and anger. Why? Why did she decide to take this child in? If she knew this was going to happen, they would have rather trained Li Hanyu more and sent him. It was not like they had scarcity of orphan children around.

    "It''s okay. I am okay being ungrateful. I am telling you right here and right now, I will get you what you want from right people. Leave Yu Tian alone. I do not have anything else to say," Mei Qingyang suddenly got up from her seat and started to walk out. She was done here.

    "Wait right there, young lady" Jiang Nuo thundered. He had not given her permission to leave yet. They had not even reached the part of her leaving the college right away.

    "I am not staying anymore. It is suffocating being in the same room as you two. I am out," as soon as she started walking out, she felt her arm being grabbed and the next thing she knew, she was being flung around and suddenly, she felt a sharp pain on her right cheek.
