That same night…
Ah Lam decided to talk with Yulan, maybe she might be able to remember where she came from. The doctor told her earlier that she shouldn't stress her or force her to remember anything. But still, she wanted to help.
"Here have this" Ah Lam handed a cup of popcorn to Yulan. "We are going to watch TV and discuss about the movies."
"That's sound fun aunt" she said, excitedly.
"What is your favorite movie Yulan ?"
'What did she say?' Yulan asked in side her head. She wasn't sure of that word but from the look of things , it's meant entertainment. "I don't remember any She told her."
Ah Lam sighed. This was not helping. She turned the TV on and sat next to Yulan who looked like it's was her first time of seeing a TV. "This are fiction Yulan. I don't want you to waste your tears."
She laughed. Ah Lam was more funny than she thought "I don't cry easily. It takes everything to make me cry."
"Wow. Thats brave of you. We aren't like that here, I mean Yang Mi and I cry a lot."
Yulan remembered the pictures in the living room "Is that your husband ?"
"No dear. It's my son but he is no more" tears rolled down her cheeks when she said that. Ah Lam removed a handkerchief from her Jacket and wiped them off. Silly tears.
"Forgive me for raising such topics. I won't bother again."
"Tell me Yulan, can you remember why you came to this city or are you from here?" Ah Lam asked, after she calmed down.
She nodded. This wasn't her world though she wished its was. "I came to look for two important people."
Ah Lam was surprised. That's means Yulan was alone. Two important people? Those should be her parents. What a poor child.
"So who are they?"
"My father and a friend" Yulan's answered.
'A friend sounded odd. Who would come this far to find just a friend? Ah Lam was no fool because she was going to find out the truth' Yulan thought.
It's would better if she told her the truth.
"Thank. Goodness, you still have your mother. You shouldn't worry, I will help you find them. So what are their names?" Ah Lam asked..
"I don't know for my father but I have his picture. As for my friend, his name is Li…"
The door bell rang. Ah Lam wondered why Yang Mi came home early. The Lis party always take the whole night.
She stood and went to the door. She looked through the transparent glass and was surprised with the figure she saw outside.
She opened the door and her eyes met Lian, the young master Li.
*****
Chu Hua was confused on what to do. Both the media and press were present, capturing the moment. She looked around and saw that all eyes were on her as Li Lian walked out if her.
It was the most embarrassing day of her life. She wished she never had conversation with the women. Now the trouble that await her was more than the jewelry store.
Her sister in-law Li Qin walked to the stage with a microphone in her hand. She was going to mock her after this. "Thank you for coming here. But the celebration is over."
The people continue murmuring and mumbling. They were surprised by Li Lian's action. The women were happy that the two fought, they laughed and drank to their achievement.
Chu Hua knew women didn't like her because she got married to their favorite Man but in this Situation they should have at least show some sympathy and self respect.
"Get out all of you!" She yelled at the group of women laughing. "Leave my house.!"
The family members rushed to where she was and they took her to the mansion. Only then , did they realize that Li Lian was not at home.
"Madam , he didn't come to the house. I was here the whole time" Wei Guowei , the errand boy told them.
"That's strange. Where did he go to?" Yan Zi asked looking at Li Lian's mother, who shook her head indicating that she had no idea of her son's whereabouts.
"Maybe he went to see the other woman. I mean is possible right?" Li Qin asked, with a smile. They all gave her a cold look. But she didn't Care. This was one of her favorite moment, where Chu Hua had to cry her heart out.
Li Qin wished that Li Lian would have been with a woman. A new sister in law was what she needed not this woman crying here.
"Never say that to sister in-law again Qin" Yan Zi warned. "Go to your room. The party is over."
"Fine mother. But I am not lying, Li Lian has gone to see the other woman. Big sister in law should stop wasting her tears and tell us what really happened" Li Qin insisted. This was the best advice Chu Hua could ever get from her.
