"Aunt please wait. Why are you being like this?" Sara asked Cixi in frustration as they both walked towards the door, with Cixi planning to leave the house with her luggage.
Ever since they both left the restaurant, she had been trying to get her aunt"s attention and it hurt her so much that she had refused to pay attention to her at all.
She quickly hurried to stand between Cixi and the door in other to stop her from leaving. When she successfully stood between her aunt and the door, she spread her hands wide and looked at her aunt with pleading eyes.
"What do you think you are doing right now?" Cixi asked in annoyance.
"Let"s talk. You can"t just leave like this. How do you think Dad and Joreen is going to feel? How do you think I am going to feel by leaving like this? I already told you it was I who invited her. Scold me instead of leaving...please"
Sara pleaded.
"Oh really?" Cixi dropped her luggage bag on the floor and folded her hands around her chest.
"I guess none of you did put into consideration how I would feel before inviting her over."
"That"s the point. What the h.e.l.l did she do? I have no idea so how was I supposed to know about not bringing her here?"
"Don"t you dare lie to me Sara! I am very much aware your father had told you several times to stay away from her. But you still brought her in here."
"That"s not enough reason Aunt. You can"t ask me to stop having ice cream without giving me a concrete reason why I shouldn"t. What if I really like it?"
"Are you saying... you like Changyu?" Cixi asked in a hurt tone.
"Of course I like her. So can you please tell me the reason why I shouldn"t?" Sara asked with a pleading voice.
Cixi bit her lips before asking in a gentle voice. "By chance.... Do you know anything about her?"
"I only know she worked in grandparent"s restaurant. I also know she liked father a lot but he doesn"t seem to like her back."
"Even though I doubt that." She said in her mind.
Cixi laughed dryly when she heard her. "Was that...what she told you? What a crazy woman!"
Although she laughed like that, she was still feeling slightly relieved that Sara didn"t know anything else about her. It was going to mess things up if she knew Changyu was her birth mother.
"Aunt please. I have always wanted to talk to you about this. So please let"s just talk."
"I"ll agree to talk to you if only you promise to never meet with her again. Do you promise me?"
Sara bit down on her lower lip gently before shaking her head. "I"m sorry Aunt. I cannot promise you that. I need to hear the reason first."
Cixi scoffed in annoyance. "I can"t belief you are all doing this to me today."
She took hurried steps back to the bedroom again and this time, Sara wondered what she was going to do this time. She knew her Aunt was not deciding to stay back because her luggage was still on the floor close to the door.
Soon, she saw Cixi open Joreen"s wardrobe and began to pack her things into a bag also.
"What are you doing now?" Sara asked in a panic. "Aunt stop it"
She tried to take the clothes from her but Cixi was quick and pushed her away. Since she hadn"t been prepared for it, she fell down and looked at her Aunt with hurt eyes as she remained sitted on the floor.
Cixi stooped what she was doing, sighed, and turned to look at Sara.
"I"m tired of this. I am tired of all of these! We are family. And for the w.a.n.g"s, family comes first. How....how could you all do this to me? I am beginning to feel like I am the only sane person in this family."
She tried to blink back tears as she spoke to Sara but some still escaped from her eyes.
"That woman....her parent"s killed our parents. They killed your grandparents!" She paused and raised her head to look up at the white ceiling before she continued. "She did nothing about it. Throughout that time, she didn"t even appear once. Not once to stop them. Do you know what happened to us? Do you know how hard we fell to the floor? You think all of that can go away just because you simply like her?"
Cixi could not control it any more and this time, she began to cry.
Sara looked at her with shock written all over her face. "Miss....Chang... Yu"s parents killed... grandparents? She stuttered in disbelief.
She had never expected that at all!
"Isn"t that enough reason to hate her?" Cixi asked in-between tears.
"Just rest here for a bit before you go out."
"I"m okay. You can just go do your thing" Chanyu said to Jianjun with fluttering eyelashes as she tried to avoid eye contact with him.
"Sit! Stop being stubborn" He said to her in displeasure.
"Who do you think you are controlling?" She asked with a glare.
She could not remember the last time she was told what to do by someone else. But now, he was actually using an authoritative voice to ask her to sit down.
Did he think she was easily controlled about? If she was, then she wouldn"t have been the number one Changyu!
"You!" He said to her nonchalantly before adding... "You are the one I"m controlling"
She scoffed at him before picking up a few papers from the desk and then, threw it at him.
"What do you think you are doing?" He asked immediately he felt some papers. .h.i.t his chest and face.
"What does it look like I"m doing?" She hmphed before sitting back down with her hands crossed around her chest.
"If you knew you were going to sit, why did you throw a tantrum? Even my Seven years old neice does not throw unnecessary tantrums" He added before turning to walk out.
He wasn"t surprised when he felt some more papers. .h.i.t his back.
He closed his eyes, took in a deep breath and turned to look at her.
"What"s really your problem? I"m curious"
"You... You are my problem." She stood up and moved closer to him before muttering.
"You annoying jerk!"
