As soon as Chu Hua left the house, Li Qin took her phone and dialed her big sister's number. Li Mei hardly pick calls. She was still angry with the family for supporting Li Lian, after everything he has done to her.
The voyage accident was a shock to the entire family. Li Lian left with his friends, including Li Mei fiancée. After a year and six months, he returned to Beijing alone.
He told them that they had an accident on their way to whatever city they were going to spend the vacation. It's was a reunion party.
This happened immediately Li Lian got married to Chu Hua. He didn't wait for the anniversary, the boys set for the sea. Li Qin knew her brother was running away from the woman, they forced him to marry.
She stood up and went to her room. Li Mei still blamed Li Lian for the death of her fiancée, which was quite unbelievable. Their brother would never do such evil.
At that time, people started spreading rumors that he killed his friends so that none of them would be able to compete with him in the business world. When Li Lian moved to the top three most richest men In China, the rumors went down the drain.
He donated a lot to the poor. Records had it that no man has ever been able to do the charity work, he did in less that five years.
Even the girls contributed to the dying of the rumors. They followed him both on social media and reality. The chocolate company was a hit too.
Li Qin tried her bes, for years to know where her elder brother went wrong in life. The reason behind him losing his friends. How he survived alone or with the strangers he met. Why he came back with such anger and rage?
Li Lian became very aggressive. It's scared everyone at home. Whenever he was asked how the accident happened, he had no answer to their questions!
'Enough of Li Lian' Li Qin sighed as she sat on the bed and opened her laptop. She went to the chat app and search for her sister's name under messages.
There it was! Thank goodness, Li Mei was active. Which means she did not want to pick Li Qin's calls, earlier. What a sibling to have?!
Li Qin thought of the best way to start a conversation with Li Mei without provoking her. After the death of fiancée, she too, became aggressive just like Li Lian.
Li Qin : Good morning big sister Lives Mei.
There was no answer from Li Mei. Li Qin had no choice than to go and get a drink. This was going to take a lot of time. When she came back , there was a message from Li Mei..
Quickly, she clicked and opened it.
Li Mei : Morning, Hope you are fine over there?
Li Qin : No. I am not 😭. Chu Hua is making life unbearable for me here.
She purposely put the crying emoji on to show her big sister that nothing was fine at home. Chu Hua had turned her to a mopping stick.
Li Mei : suit you well.
What? Li Qin could not believe that Li Mei was happy that she was been humiliated by Chu Hua everyday. Members of the Li's, were supposed to be treated with respect. Chu Hua got her strength from Li Lian. It was high time , she was stopped.
Li Qin: she said that no one in this family will be able to stop her , not even you.
Li Mei : Really? I will be coming back with father, bye.
Li Qin was surprised that she had a sudden change of mind. If there was any thing that her big sister hated was Chu Hua. She was highly against their marriage. Li Mei claimed that Li Lian was younger and not ready to settle yet. But no one listened to her. If only they did, Chu Hua wont have been here today.

Chu Hua stormed in to the office like a wild cat. She was hoping to see her husband but the face she saw was quite disappointing. Ah Lam! What was she doing here?
Ah lam stood up and greeted "Good morning, Mrs. Li."
She rolled her eyes and hissed "Are you happy to see me aunt?"
"Why not? You are my Li Lian's wife."
"Yes , I am. It's been long we last saw. Funny enough, you are not growing old like I imagined" Chu Hua said , as she sat opposite Ah Lam. The whole time, her eyes were on the old woman.
"We thank the almighty for keeping me alive. How is every one at home? My Li Qin?" Ah lam asked with a smile. She missed Li Qin so much.
"Oh, I forgot, She is your favorite, I was expecting that question from you , aunt. But …" Chu Hua paused and continued "It will better if you stay away from my family. I know Li Lian went to your house last night. He came back with strange behavior."
"I made him go home to you. I will never keep your husband away, why will I do that, Chu Hua?" Ah Lam eye's widened.
"For Yang Mi. I don't know what your discussion was. Be careful aunt" Chu Hua warned. She looked at Ah Lam with hatred and envy. Li Lian cared so much for her. She was his pillow whenever he wanted to cry. Why the old woman?
