Previously at dining table ---
"Father, I...I .....actually I want to meet Mo Fengshi before our marriage."
"Okay! If my Ah Jane wants to meet him, she can! .... I'll inform you until afternoon."
In Xiao Jane's Bedroom-----
"Wait, wait girl! Are you even aware of my nerves? You totally changed your cards back there! Even didn't bother to tell me beforehand! I woke up this early only to become part of today's drama girl!! Am I that bad for you to leave me behind wahh!!!!" Song Lin was showing her pitifulness in a silly way, but the thing is she's actually really confused regarding what she said at breakfast.
She was surprised, but she wondered if it's any good for Jane to meet that business guy. She had mixed feelings about this, but didn't want to show it in front of Xiao Jane.... she trusts her like a true sibling.
'It's impossible for Xiao Jane to rush things of suddenly on such an important topic.She's really up to something! I need to ask.' she sat on the chair.
"Ah Lin! I am sorry girl....for not able to tell about this decision earlier... I, too, was in a hurry to ask Father Ming...it was a risky decision though.....as there was a possibility Father might refuse my request by giving some excuse.....I had suspected that it would be better if I ask him in front of everyone.
And as I thought, you heard too, that he didn't cut my request, he couldn't I guess when Mother was also there... he couldn't possibly tell everything to her at that moment so he...had to agree up to my terms and that was what I wanted from previous night!"
Song Lin's eyes grew in excitement as she asked her again,"You mean you had already thought of it last night?"
"Yeah Lin Lin and now I have thrown my first card....it's my very first step towards success in this plan!"
"PLAN? What do you mean by 'first step towards success in this PLAN'?" Song Lin buffled with surprise.
"You know very well Lin Lin!" Xiao Jane winked at her and poked on her forehead, gesturing her to think more.
Song Lin was still confused, but she knew she had to figure this out, hence, she ran the gears of her mind real fast.
'Think Lin Lin think! Ah Jane wanted to know if her 'going to be contractual -husband' was willing to marry her or not! What's the part of Mo Family in this marriage and all....Yeah! And for this we decided that she should ask Father Ming this morning as he was the one who can answer this, since Mother Cheng was still out of the pickle....
.....But Ah Jane decided to meet my future brother-in-law in person..... and asked for it to Father Ming ...and he already granted. But what's the point to meet him after all?' she pressed her hands on her forehead, massaging it.
Xiao Jane was getting nervous if she would be able to figure it out or not. Her eyes waiting for Song Lin's response....
'SONG LIN!! GIRL!! Can't you even think a little, that it would be much better option for Ah Jane to ask her hubby to be herself isn't it? It would be better than asking Father Ming as Jane mentioned that he might assure her that he agreed or who knows if he actually may not know the whole truth and explain her only the half part of the story.... but the person who is involved in this marriage, her contractual groom with.... will not take risk or hide anything from her if he's being forced too!!!!
WOW LIN LIN! YOU ARE SO INTELLIGENT! I Love My Intelligent Side!'
Xiao Jane was waiting for her response as, if Song Lin couldn't figure it out ,obviously she would have to lend her some brain cells to think positively towards this mess. To understand her intentions.
She waited, waited, waited, and waited but Song Lin still seemed puzzled, making various kind of expressions she could .
Finally when Xiao Jane couldn't help it and was going to speak up, Song Lin exclaimed with excessive joy, clinging upon Xiao Jane's shoulder, grinning like a hungry puppy who recently got a bone to fed upon.
She conversed with Xiao Jane, "Ah Jane! I got it! I truly got it! What a mastermind you are girl. I shouldn't have think lowly of your decision. Forgive this peasant My Lady!" She teased her and kissed her hands.
"You make me feel so proud! SO FINALLY, IT WAS A PLAN! And not just a casual meeting.... to drink coffees or decide honeymoon places and just pay for it. By this meeting, we can dig deeper into the matter my detective! Love you.....muah! muah!!!!" she was jumping all around. (Such a cutie...)
Xiao Jane took a sigh of relief as Song Lin figured it out as easily as she thought....and now she was even more confident than before in her plan .....as Song Lin also praised her to be a master planner. Her brain cells started to dance holding hands together, as to celebrate her smallest victory.
She is prepared....to look forward and solve this riddle of secrecy! But.... is it that easy to figure out the whole matter with a simple meeting? Is she really going to turn the tables on her side? Well she isn't aware that there are many hidden cards in hands of unknown, if thrown ....then capable enough to decide her fate and her life.
Xiao Ming and Xi Cheng's bedroom------
Xi Cheng, "Why aren't you giving me the answers I want, Ming? How can you decide alone my Ah Jane's fate? Isn't she my daughter too? Is she willing to marry him? What if she is getting forced by you and that's why she wants to meet that strange guy?" Xi Cheng couldn't control her anger and continued.
"You knew very well Xiao Ming that your beloved daughter.... can't disobey you when you mention anything serious that will concern this family, I know you already had said something involving our family haven't you?"
" Xi....I wanted to tell you... it's all for Ah Jane's sake too...."
"Even if it will be for her sake... but ...what about her happiness Ming? What about her emotions? Do you even have a heart?"
Mother Cheng was boiling with anger and the one tolerating it's fire was Xiao Ming.
'Sorry Cheng-ah.....How can I possibly tell you anything when you're getting emotional....I promise to tell you everything straight when your anger will come down.... until then, forgive me for involving our precious daughter.....'
He knows that Cheng loves Ah Jane the most and as long as she can, she won't let anyone hurt her or play with her feelings.
"You don't understand Ming....I have already seen my child suffer enough, you think I can keep on seeing her getting miserable and do nothing?" tears about to come out of her eyes.
"I'm sorry Xi.... I really am...if possible I would cancel this anytime but...."
But his hands were bounded by shackles of need and promise.... it's only key was Xiao Jane!
As soon as the problems go down, he himself will pull out his lovely daughter Xiao Jane from this mess if needed.
'Yeah! I promise Ah Jane, my beloved daughter, I, Xiao Ming, will not let anyone hurt you and your emotions as long as I am alive!'
Mother Cheng was getting emotional, throwing words of regrets on her husband, but he was still calm, as calm as silently flowing river looked from outside, but no one knew it was actually the disastrous flood rambling inside his body.
'I am looking forward to solve all the misery of my family and soon the day will come when I don't have to hide anything from my beloved ones.'
He closed his eyes, let out a sigh of pain and dialed a contact number.
