Chapter 149 - You have his permission (1/2)

Cixi was obviously not happy. Especially since they were not able to get a hold of the person who was responsible. ”I'll fix it” She said when Sara handed her the laptop. Whatever was inside and whoever had done this to her girl, she was going to punish them in the way they deserved.

”Aunt. Don't worry too much. If our mood is sullen, It won't make Joreen any better” Sara advised.

Ever since they got into the taxi, they had both been quiet. Both had a lot on their minds.

Sara felt that this likely had something to do with Jinyong and Weiyoung but she couldn't go check with them today. It was already past six in the evening and she was tired and famished.

But Cixi could not help it. Only a month she hadn't heard from them, not only their apartment, they had also lost the restaurant. Sara had been dragged online and her daughter didn't make her grades. For now, she had to look for a way to open the laptop, check the e-mail and trace the IP to whoever was behind the message.

”I feel this whole thing is my fault. I am really sorry Aunt” Sara said sadly.

Seeing Sara blaming herself, Cixi finally snapped out of it

”It is not your fault dear. I am sorry, I just had a lot on my mind. It must have been hard for you” She said as she smoothened Sara's hair lovingly.

”I am fine.” Sara gave her a tiny smile. ”You are going to sleep over right?”

”I should right? But it's going to be uncomfortable since Mr Chu is coming home tomorrow also. I can use a hotel till we move into the new place next week” Cixi said.

”Joreen misses you a lot. We all do. You should spend this night with us at least. Dad can use the couch while I lie on the floor so you and Joreen can have the bed to yourselves”

”That girl still sleeps rough huh?” She asked wrinkling her nose.

Sara laughed. ”She sure do”

”But lying on the floor is not good for—”

Sara cut her off. ”Don't go all doctor mode on me now” Sara playfully warned.

Cixi forced out a laugh before her mood turned sullen again. ”Life here is hard— life everywhere is hard” She corrected.

”How did you live this past month?” Sara suddenly became curious.

”I was in Country V” She answered as their taxi made a turn.

Sara's eyes met with the driver's through the rearview mirror. She noticed he had been staring at her ever since she got in. He was likely in his forties so she could not assume he had a thing for her. It was obviously because he had also recognised her.

Even in Joreen's school earlier, a few people had walked up to ask if she was really the 'Sara Wang' they had seen on the news. They had also advised her to remain strong and blah blah blah. She hated the attention she was receiving.

She ignored the driver's look and continued with Cixi. ”Country V? What's with it?”

Cixi had an amused smile on. ”You are the last person I believe would care about anything that is going on in this world”

Sara let out a laugh. ”I actually do care sometimes though.”

Cixi turned serious and spoke gently.
