The door opened and Yang Mi walked to the room. She looked quite happy. "Mom, guess what happened at the party ?"
"The young master left the party" Yulan was the one that answered. Yang Mi was surprised. She did not expect the news to travel this far.
"Impressive. Let me update you on more" she said, removing the pairs of heels , she wore. They made her look every tall at the party.
"We don't need your update Yang Mi" Ah Lam uttered. She already heard what from the horse's mouth. Her daughter's gossip might only confused her.
"The young master was here . He told your mom every thing that happened" Yulan told her. She was surprised with the way Yang MI's facial expression changed. The girl was shocked.
"Young master was here ?" Yang Mi asked in disbelief. "Mother why didn't you call me home? It's been long I saw him."
She has been trying to see Li Lian for two weeks now. His numbers were not connecting because of the numerous phones he had.
She tried checking him at home but Chu Hua did not allow her to even the enter that house. It's was frustrating and embarrassing.
"Why do you want to see him?" Ah Lam asked. Her eyes were still fixed on the TV. If she dared look at her daughter. She would regret it definitely. Yang Mi was good at distracting people.
"I want a job at the chocolate Company" She answered removing her jewelries. They were so heavy, she wondered how her mother survive with them for a whole day.
"Wow. Finally you want to start working" Ah Lam was not expecting that. For years now, she has been begging Yang Mi to get a job but she turned deaf ears to her pleadings.
Yang Mi was a graduate of Business management. With a first class, she could get a job any way. Or where potentials were required.
"I spoke to Chu Hua but she turned me down , can you imagine that ?" Yang Mi was angry, after she remembered the way Chu Hua spoke to her. "She was very rude to me, mother. I hate her."
"You have to respect her , she is my son's wife" Ah Lam told her. "If you want to work with the young master , you must learn how to respect his wife. He loves her a lot."
Yulan was confused. Those two did not even celebrate their anniversary proper! Was that what love means to them? How can you love your husband and still lie to him?
She did not know the actual thing that led to their fight but Yulan' doubted their so called love. The couple were just two confused people who yet to discover their self.
"I don't want him to love Chu Hua. I pray they get a divorce" Yang Mi yelled as she went upstairs.
"My daughter's mental health is not stable most times. Please endure for my sake" Ah Lam told her.
Yulan laughed at her joke. She was beginning to love this family. They were funny and interesting to be with. The mother and daughter were both kind and generous.

The next morning, he woke up early. Chu Hua was still asking when he left the house.
It's was six- thirty, when he arrived at the office. Most of the workers were yet to come to work. Even his personal assistant Fei Hong was yet to come to work.
Li Lian walked in to his office. It's was cleaned already. He looked at his secretary's office and found out that she was already in her space.
He was impressed. For the first time, she came to work early.
One of the body guard dropped his brief case on the sofa.
"I will be at your door, boss" he left.
After few minutes of going through the files on his desk, a knock came on the door.
As usual, Li Lian never reply to any knock. If you enter when it's was convenient then he would allow you. And if it's was not… he would yelled at you like a boss.
The door opened and Zhi Ruo walked in to the room. Her face was pale and she looked sad. Li Lian wanted to ask what happened but he stopped.
Pushing things between him and his secretary would make his wife furious. He wondered who updates on such things.
"Good morning, Shouxi Zhixing Guan" She greeted.
"Morning . Why is you face gloomy?" His mouth betrayed him. Li Lian cursed himself.
"I am not feeling well sir" Zhi Ruo answered. She tried smiling but nothing happened. The pains she was feeling, were painful.
"Sorry about that. If you don't feel too good , You can take the day off."
What did he just say? Looked at her boss. Why was he concern about her now!
"Thank you sir. But I can manage" she said. "Your aunt called me. She wants to talk with you."
Li Lian knew its was Ah Lam. Her house was closed to Zhi Ruo.
"Okay. I will" he answered. "You may leave."
