Hello, Mr Li
/ Hello, Mr Li Chapter 219 - You're so cool
Sara happily hopped out of the room after the class ended.
It wasn't easy for her at all. She wanted to get out of these silly outfits as soon as possible.
She also wasn't looking forward to the cooking classes she was going to start taking probably next week after her father was settled.
"Hey PM. I'm sure you do not have a car. Come with me. I'll drop you off" Martha called after her.
Sara had been able to deduce that this Martha girl wasn't a bad or troublesome person. She kept to herself and didn't say a word unless spoken to. Except today when she started a conversation with her first.
"PM?" Sara gave her a confused look.
What did that mean?
"Poor plus Mannerless equals PM" Martha said with a smile and walk past Sara with the mind that Sara would follow her.
"P plus M can never be PM. Which school did you attend?" Sara sniggered.
Martha turned to look at her before commenting "You don't look quite smart to me either"
"Trust me, I graduated with a first class honours" Sara said proudly.
"Then I'm glad there's something good about you."
Their banter kept going back and forth before Sara decided to leave her there and take a stroll around the stores since she remembered she had to get Li Sun a birthday present. She also wanted to get Muchen something. Just anything.
Her family also.
The problem was, she had no idea what to get Li Sun.
She had never had a grandparent so she didn't know what the older generation liked—especially Li Sun who looked like a really picky person and difficult woman.
Sara wondered why Sun hadn't met with her again. Someone like her wouldn't just give up so easily right?
She had to prepare herself mentally. She knew there was going to be too many problems to encounter because of Li Muchen and she was fully prepared for it.
She stopped in front of a store in the shopping centre at the third floor and was about entering the boutique before she saw the last person she had expected to see coming from the opposite direction.
Sara's face lit up when she saw Changyu.
She had tired to find her card but to no avail. She knew quite well that someone like Changyu was not easily seen and it was a once in a life time opportunity to receive a business card from her—Which she had misplaced carelessly.
Sara saw the surprised look on Changyu's face when she saw her also.
"Miss Wang?" Changyu asked. She wondered why the girl's hair was suddenly short like hers and she was suddenly wearing glasses.
"Miss Song" Sara called excitedly.
She admired this woman. She was very pretty and looked very young even in her fourties. Another thing Sara liked about her was her style.
She was wearing a black jean trousers, a yellow beige turtleneck sweater and black boots. This time, she wasn't on much jewelries. Her side part Bob hairstyle with a corner tucked beside her ear, revealed a single silver earring that was dangling freely on her left earlobe.
"Miss Changyu." Changyu corrected her with a smile.
She didn't know why she liked this girl. She was Helene and Jianjun's daughter and since she did not like them, it was only natural for her to not like their daughter right?
She didn't even know what she was thinking when she asked Hani to take down the video of Weiyoung and Jinyoung accusing her online.
But on a second thought, Sara did nothing. She was just an innocent girl who looked so much like her father.
"Sorry... Miss Changyu" Sara remembered the video and how she had announced to the world that she was no longer a Song. It was really true then. She felt really sad for this woman who looked lonely. She wasn't married. She also didn't have any family now.
Changyu saw the sad look on her face and naturally assumed it was because she corrected her.
"I'm sorry if I sounded harsh" She apologized.
Sara quickly waved a hand in front of her "I'm not angry. It's fine. Why are you alone?" Sara asked inquisitively. Every time she saw Changyu whether on the news or in real life, she was always with someone. Except the night she had dropped Sara off after Mo Dachuan's party where she driver herself.
"Oh.. I gave them some time off. They shouldn't always stick around" She answered.
"Did you...cut your hair?" Changyu finally asked out of curiosity.
"Ah..No. It's a wig" Sara smiled sheepishly but didn't bother to explain further. She only took off the glasses she was wearing and placed it inside her pause.
"Miss Changyu. Welcome. I didn't know you were here I would have waited for you at the entrance with the others" An elderly man quickly approached from behind Changyu with smiles all over his face.
"I didn't want any of those that's why I didn't mention I was coming."
"Oh yes yes yes. You can come to the office I'll make you a really nice tea" He truckled as he tried to lead her to his office.
"I'm not here for tea or supervision. I believe you've been doing a really good job so keep up the good work managing the affairs here. When I'm done shopping, I'll quietly leave"
After the man left, Sara looked at her with admiration. "You...own this place also?"
With a smile, Changyu nodded. "The building is mine but I only own two stores here including this." Changyu used her chin to gesture at the store Sara was about entering.
"Wow.. You're so cool" Sara raised her two thumbs at her which caused her to laugh.
It was the first time Sara was seeing her laugh and she must confess the woman looked prettier when she laughed.
Changyu was also surprised when she heard her self laughing. She couldn't remember the last time she laughed or smiled sincerely.
Everyday, she thought about her child. She wondered where she was, what she was doing, the kind of parents she grew up with. Most especially, she wondered whether she was alive.
Looking at Sara now, she tried to imagine how her daughter would have looked like.
She should be a year older than Sara. Would she have looked like her or like Jianjun?
Everyday, she searched for her little girl. It was the same reason Hani and the others weren't here right now. They were busy trying to trace wherever she was. No positive news from every orphanage they had visited. No positive news from the police. No positive news from every hospital around Happy Ending orphanage.
"Why are you here? You came to shop?" Changyu finally asked.
"I was thinking of buying some wears. But I'm beginning to have a second thought since I am very sure it would be expensive" Sara answered.
"We can go check together. I also came for a little shopping and would like some company.... If you don't mind"
"I don't mind. I don't mind at all" Sara said happily before following her inside.
