The driver returned to meet with Muchen at the Hospital to inform him about everything. Pictures of the entire house were also taken. He had followed them around and had refused to leave that the w.a.n.gs thought he was there because he had a crush on Sara.
"This...This is the bathroom?" Muchen asked in shock.
The house had two large rooms, a sitting room and one bathroom. "Rotten" was the only word Muchen could use to describe the bathroom. Same with everyone else who saw it.
Jianjun had been shocked also. How did these men live here? He feared for his daughters who were also going to share this bathroom with the rest of them.
"Yes Mr Li but they were able to clean it up." He swiped at his phone"s screen and another picture of the same bathroom appeared. It looked better now but wasn"t as clean as Muchen had expected a bathroom to look like. He was not used to this and had never seen a bathroom like this in his entire life.
"It"s fine. Thanks for your hard work" Muchen said.
"Uhm.. I don"t know if I should mention this, but they talked about going grocery shopping to prepare you dinner" The driver said.
A warm smile appeared on Muchen"s face when he heard him. Sadness followed. He was rather touched that they remembered him despite facing this problem. He had selfishly asked Sara to bring him dinner tonight because a part of him a.s.sured himself that the w.a.n.gs would remain in their apartment. But even after moving, he was still thought of. What a wonderful family they were.
That evening, Minde came over again. He had been bored since returning to the country. And since Muchen was now easily reachable, he was going to use it to the fullest. Too bad his younger brother was always too serious. He was ready to trade his birthright and become Muchen"s real brother instead.
"Big bro, what"s the update on sister in law?" He asked excitedly.
"Cut it off. I know you"ve been helping me because you"ll be asking me for a favour soon." Muchen continued working on his computer without bothering to look at him.
"Ah Bro. What do you take me for? Can"t I help my brother anymore?" He pouted.
"Do I look like Li Hoy?"
"I love you more than Hoy of course!" Minde declared
Muchen rolled his eyes at him. This shameless cousin if his. A lot of people would kill just to be in his place. But here he was, so nonchalant.
"That reminds me, it"s been quite a while I last saw Hoy. Heard from him?"
Minde waved it off. "I do not bother about that over serious lad. He can take care of himself pretty well"
Minde hadn"t bothered meeting his brother since he returned to the country. He wasn"t even hoping to do that anytime soon.
"You should be responsible yourself. Aren"t you ashamed he is doing better than you?" Muchen scolded.
"Ashamed? Just wait till he gets a girlfriend, he"ll be as useless as I am"
"So you finally admit you are useless?" Muchen c.o.c.ked a brow at him.
Minde sighed in resignation. His brother was so good at making him sick of talking.
There was a knock on the door. As usual, it was Ms Long.
"You can take tomorrow off. And the weekend" Muchen said after she finished reporting the day"s activities to him.
"Mr Li, You are still sick. How am I supposed to leave everything like that?
Ms Long had no idea what had transpired between Mr Li and her father. She only knew Mr Li was getting better— she could tell from how comfortably he was sitting and using his computer.
"I"ll handle everything from here. And there"s also Mr Bang and Hao." He reminded her.
Ms Long served as his personal secretary and also handled matters at work, but he also had people who handled these stuffs. A big company like Li corporation needed all the helpful hands it could get.
"The meeting with Song Changyu is this weekend right?" Even though he was slacking off here, he still took his job seriously.
Minde just sat there, playing with his phone. He was not interested in business talk. But the mention of Song Changyu caught his attention. After Ms Long left, he threw his questions.
"You are meeting Miss Song personally? Where? When?"
"Li Minde. Are you having a crush on a woman old enough to be your mother?"
"What do you mean by old enough? Have you seen her before?"
"So you want to brag that you"ve seen her before me then?"
"Of course. One doesn"t always get to see such a beauty in a lifetime. But for some reasons.....She gives me this scary vibe"
"You should maintain your lane old boy. Do not try to embarra.s.s this family further" Muchen advised.
On Ms Long"s way out, she b.u.mped into her father in the hallway.
"I have a day to myself now and you want me to go on a blind date? again? No.. I won"t" Ms Long firmly refused.
"You have to. Your mother personally arranged everything before going to City X. She"ll get mad if you don"t" He tried to cajole her into going.
"You do not force your sons to get married. Why do you always force your only daughter?"
"You are a woman and you"re old enough for marriage. Your brothers can marry at any time."
After enough banter back and forth, she finally agreed to go. Not before stating that it was going to be the last time.
