Hello, Mr Li
/ Hello, Mr Li Chapter 147 - I love her
"I should go on a blind date?" Muchen asked in shock. Yes, it was shock! Do stuff like this still happen? Li Sun suddenly shows up and prepares a bride for him? Hilarious!
"Of course" Sun affirmed. "She is a nice girl from a reputable family. She is a lawyer also. I'm sure you are going to like her" She assured.
Muchen sighed. Was this really happening? "I do not understand. Why are you giving me a bride?"
His sudden question shocked them all.
Sun tried to suppress her anger as she spoke in a light tone. "You are no longer getting young. And it is normal for you to get married now. Which is why, I have painstakingly chosen a bride for you. You are welcome" She smiled.
Everyone held their breaths. They didn't like fights like this. Li Sun was not one to mess with so why was Muchen being disrespectful all of a sudden? He could have just easily pretended to agree for now.
Minde tapped his thigh gently, signalling him to keep quiet. But Muchen was done with all of this.
"I am honoured you care about my welfare, Grandmother. And I am glad you mentioned the fact that I am no longer getting young. It means I am old enough. Which also means I can obviously make decisions for myself and can choose whoever I want."
"Sara Wang?" Sun asked in mock. "Is she the one you are going to choose?"
"If she agrees" He answered instantly.
"Li Muchen!" His father was the first to call him to order.
Sun massaged her forehead gently. "You are being so stubborn son. Just go on the blind date and I will pretend like all of these never happened."
"Alright. I will go on this date on one condition" He said.
Everyone sat up. Did he really mean it? Was he really succumbing to Li Sun? They were also more interested in the 'condition' attached to it.
"What is it?" Sun asked skeptically.
"I have to like her" He said. He tried his best not to laugh since he was having fun playing with them all.
"Of course. I selected the girl I am sure you are going to like" Sun said excitedly.
Muchen turned all serious "I am really picky. But whoever she is, she has to be really pretty, she must like cars, wear sneakers and tee-shirts—" He tried not to smile when he thought of Sara. "And, I do not like lawyers... She has to be a fitness coach" He concluded.
"Li Muchen! That girl has bewitched you!" His mother yelled at him first. She didn't mind whether Sun was there. He was still her son after all.
"Her name is Sara" He corrected his Mother. "And...She should have bewitched me earlier" He said nonchalantly.
"Li Muchen!!" She screamed loudly at him again but his father was able to hold her back.
The others at the table had been pretending to be invisible except Hoy who was trying to suppress a laugh. They had planned to not get involved but it seems it was not going to work. They feared things might get worse if they continued this way.
"Aunt..Uncle.." Minde stammered as he addressed Muchen's parents. He tried not to look at Sun's direction as he spoke. "Sara is not as bad as you think. You might like her if you get to know her." He stressed the word 'might' because of course, Sara still scared the hell out of him.
Heya nodded in agreement. "She is a really nice person, I do not see why you should hate someone you do not even know" They were all surprised to hear Heya speak. She didn't even know where the boldness came from.
"No one hates her! We are only saying she does not fit Muchen" Sun added in anger.
"You can even decide who fits me now?" Muchen asked. His anger matching hers.
Sun stood up abruptly. "You will all obey my orders" Without waiting for any objection, she slowly left the room with her maid behind her.
Muchen was the first to get up and angrily leave the place. Obey her orders? What a joke!
"You are not planning to disobey her are you?" He heard his Father's voice when he was about entering his car.
Muchen stood straight and gave his father his full attention. "I do not intend to obey her on this" He said straightforwardly
"She is your grandmother." Fazhan reminded.
"And I am me!" Muchen tried his best to contain his anger. Did he look like a puppet to all of them? "I know you and mother are bothered because you think disobeying grandmother would cost me the company. Just like she did to uncle." He paused. "But, I am not Uncle! She must have struggled to build Li corporation when grandfather died but I brought it to this point. We did! She cannot threaten me with what belongs to me" He said angrily.
Fazhan sighed deeply before he spoke again "You know you cannot afford to get on her bad side" he paused a little before adding again "You really like the girl?" He was obviously still in doubt.
Fazhan had always been a gentleman. He was very simple also. Even his tone, despite all that had happened, was still cool.
Muchen softened when Sara was mentioned.
"I love her." He admitted.
"She is crazy and likes to do weird things but I love her no matter what." He took a deep breath, trying to steady his emotion. "I know you love mother, so you should understand what I mean." After making sure the word sank in, he added "If anyone tries to hurt Sara or her people because of me, I am not sure what I am going to do."
It was obviously a threat!
