Chapter 59 - Gone nuts (1/2)

Jianjun's face was buried in his hands as he sat on the couch in his living room. The ever cheerful Joreen was quietly sitting opposite him with a dull expression not bothering to say a word.

”I'm really sorry dad.” Sara who was sitting beside him said for the umpteenth time.

Jianjun shook his head. ”I already told you it wasn't your fault. Things like this are bound to happen” He said with his head still buried in his hands.

”You both can go to bed now. It's already late”

”Dad let me...”

”Sara! Do not do anything!”

Sara and Joreen were both startled when be raised his voice.

He was also startled. He had not intended to scare his girls but he could not help it. Some memories he did not want to remember were already stirring up due to this incident.

”Don't just do anything....please” He pleaded softly before heading to his room.

Joreen moved to Sara's side and wrapped her tiny arms around her neck.

”It's going to be okay Sis” Her tiny voice spoke out.

Sara had to restrain herself from crying even though it was already choking her. She hugged Joreen back.

”Can't you beg Mr Li to help us?” Joreen asked naively. To her, just knowing someone like Mr Li meant you no longer had any problem for the rest of your life.

With the mention of him, Sara finally remembered she had promised him dinner and couldn't help sighing. She had totally forgotten about him.

”It's good Jo. You should go freshen up now and go to bed”

Joreen reluctantly let go of Sara and went to their room. Sara just sat there staring blankly. She felt disgust, sadness, pain, but the greatest of them all was HATE. She would rather die than watch her father go kneel before the Liu family.

She wanted nothing more than to ruin that family. She knew how the rich worked but they had been taken totally unaware by her sudden strike. Now she understood what her father always warned her about. Only disrespecting Mrs Liu a bit had led to her not only buying the land with her Father's restaurant and thrashing the place, She even went as far as to buy their house. She wanted them to come grovel at her feet before she let's then remain in their house and if they do not, they would have to leave the apartment within the next 24 hours. That was purely insane. How was she supposed to not do anything and just wait till they throw them out? She was never going to let her father kneel to that woman even if it meant them living on the streets.

Muchen's mood turned sour when he got the report from Minde. ”You are saying, Mrs Liu thrashed everything?”

”Yes. Even the dishes he prepared were all thrown out”
