Chapter 194 â Filled With Doubts (7)
Lan Jinyao currently felt like an imposter meeting its original host. No matter how reasonable or unreasonable it seemed, she was, after all, the one occupying Chen Meimeiâs body. Moreover, sheâd lost all the fat that Chen Meimei had been so proud of for so many years. Based on Chen Meimeiâs fiery temper, it would be weird if she didnât make a scene upon seeing the slimmed down version of herself.
At this moment, Lan Jinyao suddenly recalled the two words âseductive foxâ that sheâd seen scribbled on the former Chen Meimeiâs schedule. From these words alone, Lan Jinyao understood that Chen Meimei was already paying close attention to her way before sheâd reincarnated, and the reason for that was Fu Bainian.
As Lan Jinyao saw them nearing her, she lowered her hat some more and constantly murmured in her heart:Â Fu Bainian, hurry up and deal with that troublesome woman! Donât come over here with her!
In fact, she had nothing to be guilty of even if she was discovered. After all, if that person was truly the former Chen Meimei, then this meant that sheâd also reincarnated and was currently occupying someone elseâs body. Though she neednât have a guilty conscience, she didnât want to meet Chen Meimei head-on right then and there.
Nevertheless, it seemed that Fu Bainian hadnât heard her inner worries as he walked directly towards her.
At this instant, Lan Jinyao held onto her lowered hat, stood up, and immediately strode towards the exit of the restaurant. As she brushed past Fu Bainian, she ruthlessly knocked against his shoulder before walking away. And, before Fu Bainian had time to react, she was already standing outside the door.
Lan Jinyao strode over to Fu Bainianâs car, which was parked on the street, and leaned against it while waiting for him to come out.
âFu Bainian, what about our tacit understanding? Did it melt like snow?!â
Lan Jinyao pursed her lips and stared at the two people standing inside. The fire in her heart was instantly ignited, and she angrily hit Fu Bainianâs car. Then, a piercing sound immediately rang in her ear, making all the passersby stare at her in alarm. And, right after, she saw a security guard walking towards her.
Did she look, in any way, like a car thief?
It just so happened that Fu Bainian was staring outside. When their eyes met, Lan Jinyao glared at him before turning away and leaving.
A taxi drove by, and Lan Jinyao immediately hailed it. When she saw Fu Bainian rushing out of the restaurant, she immediately boarded the taxi and urged, âSir, please drive away quickly, someone is chasing after me.â
The taxi driver glanced at the back and happened to see Fu Bainian boarding his car, so he speedily stepped on the throttle, and the car sped off as swift as an arrow.
âIâm afraid that the car behind us will overtake us soon. Thatâs a luxury performance car, so thereâs no way my car can compare, speed-wise!â
Lan Jinyao humphed and coldly said, âDonât worry, just continue driving forward. As long as you donât stop, he wonât dare overtake us and block the road.â
âSighâ¦alright!â
Thus, the driver unhurriedly drove forward. As Lan Jinyao had expected, Fu Bainian simply drove beside them and didnât dare to drive in front of them.
âMaâam, that person must be your husband, right? Are you angry with him? Nowadays, women like to throw tantrums over small things, huh? A good man like him is scarce at present. Donât be deceived by my looks; I actually treat my wife really well.â
Upon hearing this, Lan Jinyaoâs lips curled up. Indeed, Fu Bainian was very good to her. Not to mention how heâd treated her after their marriage, even before she was reborn, heâd ensured that her career was all smooth sailing. Sheâd never had to deal with the hidden rules in the industry, and sheâd never had any major scandals. Her journey was so smooth and neat that she didnât look like someone from the entertainment industry at all.
âYouâre smiling? As long as youâre able to smile, thatâs good! Do you still want me to continue driving?â
Lan Jinyao smilingly said, âSir, you can stop the car now. Iâve forgiven him for the time being!â
When she got off the car, Lan Jinyao fished out some cash to pay the driver. When the driver turned and saw her face, he was stunned.
âArenât you thatâ¦thatâ¦?!â
After uttering âthatâ for a while, he still didnât manage to say her name out loud. Lan Jinyao simply smiled at him and said, âThanks!â
Fu Bainian had already stopped his car nearby, waiting for her. But, as soon as she walked over to his car, she sat in the back seat instead. She feigned an unhappy expression and complained, âIâd told you earlier that I would be observing you from afar. I donât care whether that person is the real Chen Meimei or not, but youâre not allowed to get too close to her. Yet, just now, youâ¦you actually let Chen Meimei hold onto your arm! Thatâs too much! Do you really think that Iâve gone blind and couldnât see that?â
Fu Bainian sincerely admitted his mistake and apologised. âYes, yes, yes⦠I was in the wrong. I shouldnât have done that. My bad for making Wifey angry.â
Lan Jinyao then added, âAlso, how could you bring Chen Meimei over to our table? Donât tell me that you havenât watched enough dramas yet?â
Chen Meimei had such a fiery temper! What if she made a ruckus again? Sheâd already drawn too much attention earlier, and if sheâd made another scene, then people would certainly get popcorn and look forward to witnessing a good show.
âIt was all my fault; I didnât consider things thoroughly!â There was a smile tugging at the corners of Fu Bainianâs lips. He didnât look like he was admitting to his mistakes at all!
Fu Bainian then closed in on Lan Jinyao and abruptly kissed her, leaving her stunned for a second. She then feigned anger and coquettishly said, âStop playing around and hurry back home! If that person is really Chen Meimei, then sheâll definitely catch up with us soon.â
âAlrightttt! Say, are you jealous right now?â
Lan Jinyao rolled her eyes and bitterly admitted, âYes, I am! Now, quickly bring me home!â
On the way back, Lan Jinyao sensed someone following them. At a glance, she saw an eye-catching bright yellow sports car speeding towards them like a rocket.
Itâs Chen Meimei!
That woman has unexpectedly caught up with them!
Seeing this, Lan Jinyao nervously tugged at Fu Bainianâs arm, and said, âLook, sheâs caught up with us. Will you be able to lose her?â
Fu Bainian looked back and frowned.
âSit tight!â
Lan Jinyao nodded. Chen Meimeiâs feelings towards Fu Bainian ran so deep that they couldnât be extinguished by death. Not to mention, she was given a second chance now, so sheâd surely treasure this moment. Also, Fu Bainianâs marriage certificate had Chen Meimeiâs name printed on it, so it would be easy for others to misunderstand. Even though they were divorced now, it was only a matter of time before they were remarried.
âFu Bainian, did you manage to find out anything earlier? Is that person Chen Meimei?â
At this moment, the wind swept past them and practically drowned out Lan Jinyaoâs voice.
After what felt like an eternity, Fu Bainian finally nodded and said, âI believe so, but that person could also be an imposter who is currently disguised as Chen Meimei. She probably approached us with ill intentions.â
The moment they arrived home, Lan Jinyao stated, âAs for whether that person is the genuine Chen Meimei or notâ¦Chen Meile will certainly know once sheâs seen her. If that person is really Chen Meimei, then things will be much easier to handle. But, if that person isnât, then what exactly is she scheming?â
Fu Bainian didnât respond and fell silent, lost in his thoughts.
If it were Chen Meimei, then heâd simply apologise.
But, if it wasnât Chen Meimei, then who was that person? And, what were her intentions?
When heâd approached that woman earlier, heâd clearly felt that she was giving him a hint, telling him that she was Chen Meimei. But, if that woman wasnât Chen Meimei, then she was practically misleading him into believing that!
