Chapter 56: This man, do we know each other?
When Mo Liang showed up at the house later, he was in a foul mood and covered in even more bruises than Jingzhe. He looked like he had been in a fight with a hurricane and the hurricane had won. His face was a canvas of bruises and cuts and his hair stuck out in wild tufts as if the wind had taken a personal grudge against him. A large chunk of hair was absent in the middle of his head as if he had grown a bald spot overnight.
His blue astronaut jacket had been sliced in many places that it was falling apart. His right and left eyes were swollen shut. He could hardly walk on his own and he was being supported by a royal agent.
"Now this is a good look for you." Feng Qi commented. She looked at Waning, the royal agent that was supporting Mo Liang and she snickered.
Waning knew that there was no love for Mo Liang in this house and he ignored the snickers. Mei Mei on the other hand had to pretend to show some concern in case Waning was called as a character reference in her divorce suit.
"Aiya!" She stood up, talking in an exaggerated manner, "Waning, who is this man?"
Ji Waning controlled his expressions, a royal agent had to be calm and as cool as a cucumber at all times. He would not allow Jun Meilin to get under his skin. "This is your husband, there was an incident in the bathroom. We are still looking into it."
Mei Mei jutted her chin forward, frowning deeply before shaking her head. "I am afraid that you are mistaken, I don’t know who this man is. Your information must be outdated, I have an ex-husband not a husband." She waved her hand in front of Mo Liang’s face. "This man, do we know each other?"
"Can we not do this?" Waning asked her. "It is bad enough that you refused to go to the police station."
Quickly Mei Mei held up a hand to stop the royal agent. "Ehhhh... Waning, I believe that the police called the wrong person. They are supposed to call your next your kin or legal guardian and I am not his. You can check the legal documents and see if I am right."
