Chapter 144 - Trouble! (2/2)

”Mo...ther... She... I.. ” Dana stuttered. Thankfully, she was cut off by Madam Li again. ”You should be preparing her for marriage. But look how she is.” Madam Li spread both hands open ”So can we say you have been playing your motherly role well?”

”Mother” Li Fazhan cut in. But she also waved him off with a hand. ”You let your only daughter move in with her brother.” She swung her head freely from side to side ”And not only that, they gave her a rascal as a coach” She scoffed. ”Is this family a joke?” This time, she looked at Li Muchen whose eyes were glazed. Hoy also had the same expression. Minde wasn't hoping on saying anything today at all.

”She is not a rascal. She is Heya's coach and she has been doing well” Muchen spoke up.

Madam Li raised a hand so the elderly maid who had been following her placed a document on it.

When she took it, she threw it at Muchen. ”Even I, couldn't dig up some things about her. Do you think she is a normal girl?”

When Muchen opened the first page to see it was truly a document on Sara, his fist tightened around it before he closed the document and gently placed it on the table.

”I employed her. You cannot dig on my employees without my permission” He tried to sound normal. But the anger in his tone was evident.

”Li Muchen!” His parents called simultaneously.

Minde who had been sitting beside him had to pinch his thigh under the table to let him know it was enough.

”You see how your son talks to me now?” She shook her head and looked at both Dana and Fazhan. ”He said I needs permission. He said I, Li Sun needs permission.” She mock-laughed. ”Do you think so?” She looked at Li Han, who said nothing, then, at their eldest son Minde

Minde literally almost hid under the table when their eyes met. ”You!”

Minde's hands found Muchen's under the table and held it tightly for support ”Scoundrel” she muttered.

Her eyes also landed on Hoy. For the first time, she smiled. ”You have been doing a good job as a director. If your cousin keeps messing up...” She paused to look at Muchen. ”It won't take time before you to become the CEO” She said with a sly smile.

The atmosphere in the room became tensed.

Hoy looked at Muchen to see his face was completely expressionless. ”Thank you grandmother. But I do not deserve it. CEO Li is doing a very good job” He gave her a warm smile in return.

”Oh dear..” She said excitedly. But everyone was more concerned about the words she was going to say next. And it did come..

”It's so lovely that you take your cousin's side—Even though you both fancy the same girl”
