Hello, Mr Li
/ Hello, Mr Li Chapter 150 - Devil
Joreen giggled. Cixi could not understand what was going on. Mr Li. was Sara's employer, alright. So why was he suddenly showing up here and asking for permission to take her out. She looked at Sara who was pouting and glaring at Muchen and in turn, looked at Joreen to grab a hint but received a wink in return.
Jianjun was at a crossroad. Why did these young ones like to tempt him so much?
He looked at Sara and their eyes met. She gave him a 'you must agree look' before she looked back at Muchen who was still eagerly waiting for Jianjun's answer. Totally ignoring Sara's angry look for shunning her.
"She is still eating" was the only excuse Jianjun could find.
"No, I'm done" Sara countered. Cixi and Joreen nodded in agreement. Even Bilike joined.
Jianjun could only sigh.
"Oh My God! He called me Aunt" Cixi squealed and held Joreen's hand in excitement immediately Sara and Muchen walked out the door. Joreen happily jumped with her since CEO Li had promised to call her later.
"He is really CEO Li? He is so handsome and humble."
Bilike nodded in agreement. "And very generous also." He remembered how he had footed his and his Father's hospital bill. "They both look good together" He grinned.
"Oh my! How could Sara leave me out of this gist? Did you know about this?" Cixi asked Joreen.
"You should ask Dad" Joreen pointed at Jianjun who was already retreating to the bedroom. He already lost his appetite.
Cixi ran after him. Totally in gossip mode.
"Brother Jun, Are they dating? Really?"
When she entered the room, Jianjun looked to make sure no one else was around before he locked the door.
"I do not think they are— I don't even know" He sat on the bed dejectedly.
"What's with your mood? It's obvious they like each other. Shouldn't you be happy?" Cixi asked in confusion.
"Happy about what? Because he is CEO Li?" He tried his best to keep his voice down.
"That's a plus. Sara was just heartbroken and then she met someone like him who obviously likes her. So what are we saying?"
"Cixi. I really hate that this is putting a strain in I and Sara's relationship. I really want her to be happy. But I do not think this can work" Jianjun had it all bottled up. It was a good thing that he finally had someone to share his thoughts with.
"So that's what it was all about. I was going to ask why you both have been so quiet. And.. Why do you think it is not going to work?"
"You know how these things work. You really do not need me to spell it out right?"
"Brother Jun." She called softly. "Sara is a big girl. Since you want her to be happy, then you have to support her. I don't see why you are killing yourself over it."
"I really can't. I just can't." He stood up.
Cixi exhaled loudly. "You have always spoiled her ever since she was a child. Do you think she is going to take it likely when you suddenly refuse her?"
Jianjun forced out a laugh. "She promised to shave her hair and remain single if I object her"
Cixi could not help laughing. "You see. And you know she is really going to do it."
He nodded in agreement. Sara was that crazy. Nothing was difficult for her to do. "She believes this whole thing is just for the moment. But I know Sara" Jianjun began to pace around the room. "Once she enters, she would not want to come out. That is what I fear."
Cixi looked at him quietly before saying. "Or you are scared of history repeating itself?"
Jianjun stopped pacing and looked straight at her. "That is another thing" He admitted.
"Brother Jun, History is history. Don't use your past to affect Sara's future."
"You know best what those people can do if they do not accept Sara"
Cixi took note of the anger in his tone. "I know."
"And you remember what we promised mother before she died—that we were going to lead quiet and peaceful lives."
"We promised mother a lot of things. How many did we keep? I even gave birth outside of wedlock"
"That is different! Sara is my only girl. What is worse, she has been nosing about."
He started pacing around again.
"What has she been up to?" Cixi asked curiously. She had never seen her brother this tensed in a while.
He hesitated before saying "She is curious about the past. About everything. She even met with Mr Park behind my back"
"Who is Mr. Park?" Cixi asked in confusion.
"Father's apprentice."
"Oh my God. Park Bun?" It was the name she always teased him with when they were younger.
"Yes. Him. Not only that, she..." He hesitated longer this time.
"She met with Changyu. Song Changyu."
"What!?" this time, her eyes shone wide in surprise or maybe, shock!
"S...on...g.. Chan..gyu? That witch is in the country?" Cixi's breath became unsteady.
"She came in recently"
"Sara met with her? Why? Does she know anything?"
"No. I don't think she knows something yet. But if she continues, it won't be long before she finds something out" He began to panic. "What if she figures out something? What am I going to do?"
"Calm down. There is no way she can figure out anything. Even Changyu knows nothing."
"I don't know how to convince Sara to just focus on her life and leave the past alone. It really bothers me."
"First thing you should tell her to do is to stay away from that devil."
"I know" Jianjun said immediately.
"Have you met with her yet?" Cixi asked.
Jianjun shook his head. "I don't even want to see her."
Cixi smirked. "You know I have always wanted to meet her"
"Cixi! You won't do such a thing!"
Cixi's mood totally changed as she blew up at him "That witch did more than just abandon her day old baby! Have you forgotten everything her family did to us?"
Jianjun nervously asked her to keep quiet before someone hears her.
But it was too late.
Joreen who was standing at the other side of the door, gasped.
