The Lis did not waste time before calling Jianjun to inform him that they would be visiting his place that same night.
They were not expecting a grand welcome or anything lavish. Only thing they needed was to speak with him and her aunt concerning the wedding and if they could hold a quick wedding.
If it was the last wish of their mother and grandmother, they were going to do anything to make sure it came to pa.s.s. It was the least they could do for her.
Fazhan did not explain much to Jianjun on the phone instead, he kept it short and told him he would be coming over with his wife and son to see his family that evening.
Even the reluctant Dana had no choice but to agree also.
It was not as if Sara was a bad person. But she knew Sara would be difficult to control. And when she mentioned that to Muchen, he had told her..
"She is going to be my wife. If you are looking for someone to control about, you already have a lot of people who work for you. But the day you try to make things difficult for her, I am sorry, but I don"t think I"ll stay calm."
She could only conclude that Sara had bewitched her son. And it was too bad that it was only her that could clearly see it.
As the w.a.n.gs prepared their home for the visitors, Changyu went back to her own house to put some things in order while Sara took a short trip to a café where she was to meet with Jin Cherry, Cearo"s sister.
As she waited for Cherry to arrive, she remembered all Li Sun had told her privately.
"You are a strong woman. And a very lucky one at that" Li Sun said to her.
"You have a family who adores you and a man who is always ready to fight for you. How lucky you are my dear. A lot of people would exchange their wealth to be in your shoes."
Sara smiled and said a simple "Thank you."
Sun smiled back and continued. "I know I mentioned a lot of things were mysterious about you and your family. But I have decided to turn a blind eye to it all."
"If my grandson knew about it but still decided to love you regardless, I do not see any reason why I should be the one worrying about it when it"s him who would spend the rest of his life with you. But I just hope it does not cause any problem for my family or yours in the future."
Sara shook her head. "I already told him all about it. About everything. He knows all of my secrets and has promised to fight with me." She admitted.
"I am glad then. I trust he is capable of taking good care of you. I hope you take care of him. And take care of yourself also. Never allow anyone bully you and continue to remain strong. Especially now that you"ll become a Li. No one bullies a Li."
"Please.. Live a long life." Sara said with a sad face.
It was so unfair that at the moment she was beginning to receive a little love, she was about to leave the world.
Sun smiled sadly before saying "I have already lived long enough. And thanks to you, I have to leave with a lot of beautiful memories. I do not know how I"ll ever repay you."
"You are trusting me with not just your grandson, but also as the mother of your future great grand children. I cannot ask for more. Thank you for being nice to me"
Sara had not expected to cry but she did.
She also moved closer to hug Sun.
Her eyes glistened as she remembered their conversation.
She took a napkin from her purse and quickly wiped her tears when she saw Cherry enter the café in her usual style; dressing to kill.
Sara raised a hand to get her attention and Cherry saw her immediately.
"Hi PM." Cherry greeted cheerfully in perfect English before signalling for the waiter.
"Two cups of coffee. I"ll take Latte. She"ll have..." She gave Sara a questioning look.
"Espresso." Sara answered dully.
"You skipped cla.s.ses today. Have some issues?" Cherry asked.
Sara shook her head.
"I decided to stop taking those cla.s.ses."
"Oh.. Good for you. Wish my parents would let me stop also." Cherry hissed before thanking the waiter who just served their coffee.
"Stupid cla.s.ses. I have to thank everyone now? How annoying." She crossed her legs and complained immediately the waiter left.
"That was your mother on Christmas day right?" Sara began to probe.
Hearing Sara"s words almost caused Cherry to choke on her drink.
"I don"t even want to talk about that woman. Why did you want to see me?"
Sara"s eyes darted when her question landed. That had been the reason she wanted to see her— To know more about her mother. But now, she did not even want to talk about it?
Sara thought of something else to say and as she was thinking, she saw Cherry"s eyes widen.
"Is that a diamond ring in your finger?" Cherry asked in shock.
"You"re getting married? Was that why you wanted to see me? To give me an invitation card?"
Cherry threw the questions at her in surprise.
Sara smiled sheepishly and nodded. That was probably a good excuse.
"Yes. I"ll be getting married very soon. But the date is not fixed yet."
"Oh my goodness!" Cherry took Sara"s hands to admire the ring on her finger.
"This is real diamond! He must be really rich. Who is he? Who is marrying PM?" Cherry asked inquisitively.
Sara paused for a while before admitting.
"Li Muchen."
As if struck by lightning, Cherry froze with wide eyes.
In a gentle voice she asked "You..are kidding me right?"
She began to laugh, thinking it was a joke but she stopped laughing when she saw Sara"s straight face and when her eyes dropped to the ring on her finger.
"You..." She moved closer to whisper. "You are marrying Li Muchen? Like CEO Li Muchen? For real?"
Sara nodded.
"And I would like to invite your family to the wedding. But I do not know if that is right since I"ve heard rumours that your mother do not like attending occasions."
On the mention of her "mother", Cherry frowned.
"She is not my mother"
Sara did not look really surprised when she heard Cherry"s words. In fact, nothing surprised her anymore since after realising that Changyu was her mother.
"She is a controlling bitc—" She stopped, took a deep breath, and changed her words.
"She is a very controlling woman who thinks the world revolves around her. I don"t even know why my father married that kind of woman. Now she thinks she is something." Cherry complained with a frown.
"So she is neither you nor Cearo"s mother?"
"She is not. She and my father both had a secret wedding 7 years ago. She came empty handed. No family nor friends. But I think she was married before and her husband died or something. She is very suspicious and manipulative. Even my father is careful around her."
Cherry waved a hand and said in annoyance..
"Just forget about her. She may probably ruin you wedding if you invites her there."
Sara became lost in thought.
Jin Medusa married into the Jin family 7years ago.
Her husband died.
She did not have any family.
Even their father feared her.
Sara smirked and took a sip from her coffee for the first time. "Interesting" She murmured.
Someone who had a whole lot to hide was always easier to crush.
She took out her phone and handed it over to Cherry.
"I want her number. She gave me a lot of tip on Christmas day. I would like to thank her properly."
"You sure you are not planning to invite her to your wedding?" Cherry looked at her suspiciously.
"For now, I just want to thank her."
