"It"s okay already! You did the right thing" Weiyoung a.s.sured Jinyong for the umpteenth time.
Even after hours, he was still fidgeting in his seat. He had received a call from his mother to come home immediately. But he knew she was going to kill him the moment he got there, even though he felt he had handled the situation perfectly. The best was to remain in the hospital with Weiyoung. Her mother had returned home to give them "privacy" but he wondered what was so private when Joanna was also in the room with them.
"I don"t think this is a good idea" He said for the hundredth time.
"I already told you it"s alright." She reminded.
"What if it"s not? What if CEO Li comes after us?" He asked in anxiety.
Weiyoung tried not to laugh out. Who was the "Us" he was referring to? Nothing was ever going to happen to her. He did everything on his own. "What a dummy" she thought.
She signalled at Joanna who handed her a file. Weiyoung threw the file at his direction. "The Song family"s record is very clean" She announced.
Jinyong took the file and gave her a confused look. "What do they have to do with this?"
She raised a brow at him. "If we have them on our side, do you think the Li family or anyone else would be able to hurt us?"
Jinyong thought about it for a minute. "Are you saying, I should dig on the family?"
"Exactly! Imagine how proud your mother is going to be when you do it. Even Dexi will not be able to stop you from doing anything you wished"
Sara wasn"t used to Muchen"s house at night. Especially with the quiet atmosphere. She saw guards stationed at different corners outside. "Impressive" she thought when she saw their bodybuild.
Muchen quietly led her in by her hand, he was careful not to wake up Heya at all. When they both entered, the sitting room automatically lit up. Sara thought they were going to stop there but to her surprise, he kept going upstairs so she willingly followed. When he opened a room door, Sara could remember it was the same room she had woken up in that Monday.
"You should freshen up. Come down when you"re done. I"ll fix you something to eat" He said without going inside.
Sara"s eyes brightened "You can cook?" she asked without going in.
Muchen chuckled. "Are you surprised because you think your father is the only man who can cook or because you think I"m a wonderful husband material?"
Sara tried not to laugh. "Both I guess." She admitted. "I just didn"t think people like you had the luxury of time to cook for yourselves"
"We"ll have to fix the time else we"ll never eat what we really like." He said.
"Why are you going to fix me dinner? You just returned from a trip right? You should rest. What about the maids?"
"They don"t spend the night here"
"Oh.. I.. am not really hungry" She said softly. "You should just rest"
He gave her a funny look and gently pushed her inside the room. "You"re so stubborn. You remind me of Star, you"re just like her. Just freshen up, I"ll leave you something to wear on the bed."
Sara smirked. "Now, he"s even comparing me to another girl" She thought but then, she remembered she wasn"t supposed to be bothered by that.
Muchen handed her Minde"s phone. "Here, you can call home to let them know you are okay" He said.
Sara took the phone from him and watched him leave. What was she doing? She sighed deeply. She had totally forgotten about her family. "Wait, Why am I here in the first place?" She searched her brain for some seconds before remembering the issue she was currently facing. "How did he do it?" She wondered.
Muchen went into his study to use his telephone. He scolded himself for not memorising his other secretaries phone numbers.
"Mr Li?" Secretary Min called.
"You"ve seen the news about Sara w.a.n.g?" Muchen asked.
His secretary wondered what the woman had to do with him. Everyone in the country should have known about her already. "Yes sir"
"The reporters outside her apartment, let them know that if they do not leave there immediately, I"ll buy their companies and turn it into a bird house." Muchen instructed in the gentlest tone as possible.
Secretary Min knew Muchen meant it. He wondered what his relations.h.i.+p with Sara but it was out of his place to ask.
Muchen considered asking him to take down the news also. But he didn"t want to do so. That same news, he was going to use it to ruin those people and they"ll have no choice but to take it down themselves.
"Actually CEO Li, the news was taken down about an hour ago" He said.
"What? Who did that?" Muchen asked.
"I have no idea sir"
The image of a crying Sara still flashed through Hoy"s mind even after he got home. Maybe because she was strong and he hadn"t expected her to cry that way. Her tears broke his heart. He was beginning to get curious about her but he wasn"t in the right position to do so.
Did he see her as a friend, an elder sister, his cousin"s woman or did he like her?
He had never had a friend, an elder sister, a cousin in-law or ever liked a woman. So he didn"t really know how he felt about her. But he knew he wanted her to remain her strong self. He didn"t like seeing that side of Sara. He also didn"t care whether what ever Jinyong said was true or not.
"We won"t ever be working with the Mo family in the future." He said on the phone to his secretary.
"Yes sir. CEO Li has also cut ties with them and has been suppressing the Liu"s for a while now"
Hoy smiled. "Sounds interesting. I shouldn"t let my cousin work alone then. Do the same" He ordered. "And do everything you can to take down every news about Sara w.a.n.g"
"About that Director Li, the video was taken down a while back, same with every news on Miss Sara w.a.n.g"
Who took down the video?
