249 What’s There to Talk About? 1
"Li Meili, let's talk. I need a word with you." He demanded, which immediately earned him a chuckle from the Black Nightingale herself.
"What's there to talk about, Young Master Feng? I don't think we have any business to talk about." Li Meili immediately shut him down. He was probably trying to demand Moyu to talk to him, but why would he ask her?
For the longest time, Li Meili was the sole witness of her best friend's tears and frustrations, the regrets Tang Moyu had in her life, as well as the joy she earned when she gave birth to her little buns amidst the time when she thought her whole world was crashing down.
When no one was around, she was the one who saw the pain and tears in the empress's eyes while everyone thought nothing could hurt her. It took some time before Tang Moyu was able to muster enough courage to start anew and live the life she deserved.
It was only recently that Tang Moyu finally got to experience being loved and taken care of. Li Meili doubted that if her friend didn't meet Qin Jiran through her children, she would be satisfied with being alone all her life, not knowing how it felt like having been loved by a man. She would've insisted that the love of her little buns were more than enough for her.
So for her to see Feng Tianhua suddenly reappearing in Tang Moyu's life infuriated Li Meili. How dare he? How dare he show his face right here, right now? The memory of his pushing Tang Moyu in front of the crowd was still fresh in her memory.
Tang Moyu was already pregnant back then and was in delicate circumstances. She just found out she was pregnant with a bastard child and was in fear, utterly worried that her family would forsake her.
So what the fuck did Feng Tianhua need from Tang Moyu now? Was it because Feng Conglomerate was floundering ever since he kicked the empress out? But wasn't he the one who forced Tang Moyu to leave?
Li Meili didn't like how this man was looking at her best friend. So different from the vicious man who dared to raise a hand on the pregnant Tang Moyu five years ago. Was that longing she was seeing in his eyes? Or was she seeing things right now?
Her jaws hardened as she stood next to the empress, unwavering. She would never let Feng Tianhua hurt Tang Moyu again, especially when she was around.
Was he that shameless that he would chase after his brother's woman?
No… Li Meili pushed the thought aside. Only a few people knew that the empress had become the devil's woman. If Feng Tianyi knew what his brother attempted to do today, Li Meili wouldn't be surprised if trouble went knocking on Feng Tianhua's door one of these days.
"Yiyue already apologized and I think it's wrong for you to drag her name in the lawsuit when in fact it was only Xia An who had said those libelous words against you. Xing Yiyue has nothing to do with it."
Since Tang Moyu and Li Meili refused to talk to him in a calm manner, Feng Tianhua had no other choice but to voice out his frustrations. His wife had been crying nonstop for weeks and wouldn't go out of her room because of the grievances she suffered over the lawsuit the Black Nightingale had filed against her and Xia An.
She'd been the talk of the town, especially within the entertainment industry where she was actively working in. How could he sit still and not do anything to help his own wife? He knew, of course, that the person behind The Black Nightingale was Li Meili, but he hadn't expected Xing Yiyue to offend Tang Moyu's best friend.
"And this is my problem because? Being Madam Feng, Xing Yiyue surely knows how to present herself to the public. Associating herself with people who do illegal drugs and wearing imitation of high end brands? Really? Feng Tianhua, you hit a jackpot when you married Xing Yiyue. Congratulations!" Li Meili clapped her hand dramatically, her tone filled with sarcasm.
Feng Tianhua flinched at her words while Ye Xiaozu didn't know how to pacify both parties, who were no doubt aiming for each other's throats. In fact, he was also surprised at how Feng Tianhua reacted when he saw the empress. He didn't miss how his eyes softened at the sight of her.
Were the rumors false or did Young Master Feng truly care for his ex-fiancee? But knowing that the empress was now in a relationship with the infamous devil, Ye Xiaozu knew that it was impossible for Feng Tianhua to have her back, no matter how much he wanted her.
Feng Tianyi would never allow him to get anywhere near Tang Moyu anymore, this, Ye Xiaozu was certain. If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe that the empress had managed to tame the devil, effectively wrapping him around her finger.
When it comes to the empress and her little buns, the devil wouldn't bother to play nice. It also wasn't a secret that the Feng brothers were against each other, destined to be rivals in this lifetime.
"Let's go, Meili. We will be late for our lunch appointment." Tang Moyu has had enough of this. She glanced at Feng Tianhua, giving him a cold shoulder. "Next time, put a harness on your wife and don't let her out rampaging around without thinking."
