As promised, Li Jiang called Jin Liwei the moment he reached the company. Although he was surprised by the invitation, he agreed to come at the house. "I don't think mother wants Li Fei to know that you're visiting. If you would, please keep it a secret," Li Jiang told him. "Sure. It has no problem," he replied. After, he called his mother and informed her that he was coming.
Li Jiang was confused but more curious on what his mother wanted to Jin Liwei about.
Time flying so fast, the weekend finally reached and Li Jiang decided to stay home this time. On normal occasions, he would be spending time with Xinyi but he stayed home since he was curious about Jin Liwei's visit.
It was around noon and Li Fei was working on the laptop when she heard a knock on the door.
"Come in," she said continuing with what she was doing. "Young miss, Mrs Li Mei is asking for your presence in the study room," the maid reported. "Why?" she asked looking at her. "It seems like you have a visitor," she replied. "Okay. I will come shortly," she said finalising with everything and later stood up to head towards the study as required.
Reaching the door way, she heard voices inside and opened the door but she internally gasped the moment she saw Jin Liwei sitting inside. She stood up and paused her steps. What was he doing here?
"Come in," Li Mei told her and she walked inside taking a seat next to Li Jiang.
She looked at Jin Liwei questioningly as if asking him why he was here.
A while later, Li Mei looked at Jin Liwei and cleared her throat before saying," Thanks for honoring the invitation."
"You shouldn't thank me. I had to come," he replied before looking at Li Fei who was getting surprised with every minute. He was invited and he didn't say anything to her? They talked just this morning and he didn't mention anything about it.
Li Mei continued to say,"I asked for you to be invited here not because I like you but I want to make a special announcement. First of all, I want to ask. Do you love my daughter?"
Though surprised at the question, Jin Liwei answerered," I love her with everything I have."
"Okay," she replied and looked at Li Fei.
"And you?" "I-I love him," she replied.
"It is good that we are on the same page," she said before looking back at Jin Liwei.
"Mr Jin Liwei, I want to inform you that I'm letting the two of you be. You can do whatever you want. You can take her everywhere you want. From this day, I'm not coming in between your relationship."
At the mention of this, everyone was dumbstruck. What was that for?
Li Fei was beyond shocked at the information.
She agreed to them just like that?
Li Jiang too was in the same situation.
Jin Liwei on the other hand, was happy beyond words could explain.
"Mrs Li Mei, thank you so much for the opportunity. I promise that I will take care of Li Fei and you will never regret your decision," he assured her and she stood up to say," That is all I wanted to tell you. You can take her whenever you want. Excuse me."
With that, she walked out of the room and left the three of them behind. Li Jiang too stood up to say," Please excuse me."
Going to their mother's room, he asked," Mother, what was the decision for?"
"Isn't it what you've always wanted?" she asked him. "Yes but, it was so sudden," he said. "I realized that I can't do anything about it other than letting them be. And you too, I want you to go back to your condominium," she said. "What? I can't leave you alone in this house. Li Fei will be leaving for Shanghai," he said.
"I'm not staying here either. I'm going for a vacation for a month and when I come back, I will be living in our small Villa. You can stay here if you want," she told him.
Back to the Study, Jin Liwei said," What did you tell her to make her agree?" "Nothing. I didn't know this was happening. Why didn't you tell me that you were invited over?" she asked. "I forgot to tell you about it. I'm sorry." "I know that it wasn't a genuine acceptance. I will have to first talk to mother about it," she said getting up. "Okay. I will wait here," he informed her. "No. Go to the house. I will call you," she said. "Okay but don't take long," he said to which she nodded.
Going to her mother's room, she found her rummaging through her closet and she walked in. "Mother, I want to talk to you," she said.
"About?" she asked turning to look at her. "In the study. I wanted to know why you decided like that."
"Because it's what you want. It will make you happy even though I don't want it. Because you've gone through a lot and I believe that by doing this, you will finally be happy. Go with the man you love Li Fei but, as I said. I just hope you won't regret your decision," she said.
"Thank you mother. Thank you so much," she said. "I just wish the best for you. So then tell me, are you getting married?" "Yes. Jin Liwei had already proposed to me. Do you have any idea how you want our wedding to be? We shall do it according to your wish," she said looking at her hopefully.
"You will do as you please. Li Jiang is leaving the house too," she let her know. "Why? What about you?" she asked. "I'm going for a vacation for a month and then, I will move to a small Villa," she said. "You're leaving the house?" she asked. "Yes."
Li Fei didn't know what to say right now. "You don't mind it if I move to Shanghai with Jin Liwei?" she asked. "Not at all. You are free to go," she replied.
