Chapter 153 - Long time no see (2/2)

”Nothing much. He only asked whether I was okay”

The previous night when they had both went out, he asked about Joreen's graduation party. Sara saw the questioning look on his face when she said ”She didn't get any award.”

”Someone messed with it?” He asked, instantly getting the gist.

”I think” Sara nodded nonchalantly. She didn't want to go deep into the conversation but she noticed Muchen was still looking at her curiously ”Did you make trouble again?”

”Me? Trouble? No, I didn't” She shrugged her shoulders and denied.

She nodded to Joreen. ”It's going to be okay”

Joreen nodded also ”I believe you”

Sara smiled warmly at her before asking

”Why haven't I seen Aunt since I went inside the kitchen?”

”She said she's meeting with a long time friend so she left in a hurry”

Sara wondered why Cixi didn't bother telling them before leaving or maybe it was urgent?

Joreen immediately remembered something and moved closer to Sara to whisper.

”Yesterday, I overheard Mum and Dad talking” Sara would have been confused if she didn't know the Mum and dad were obviously Cixi and Jianjun.

”I didn't hear much, but they were talking about a woman.”

”A woman? What woman?” Sara asked inquisitively.

”Mum said something like 'you should tell 'her' to stay away from that devil. She also mentioned something about wanting to meet her, but Dad rebuked her and she said something about the woman doing something to their family and also abandoning her child.” Joreen summarised.

Sara's look turned to one of shock as she processed the whole information. A woman? Who was this woman? What did she do to their family and who was the child she abandoned?

”Where did you say Aunt went to again? Did she say anything else?”

Joreen shiik her head. ”She said nothing else Or...” Joreen kept her voice lower ”Do you think she went to visit that devil?”

Cixi was finally led through the gates of the estate, into Changyu's white mansion which had bodyguards almost at every corner. Just like a typical socialite.

Changyu patiently waited outside for her visitor. She was officially dressed in a blue trouser suit and black heel to go with it.

When she saw Cixi enter, it gave her a nolstagic feeling. She remembered the petite girl then who always wore glasses and packed her hair in two ponytails. The girl, who was her friend.

But now, the woman she was seeing before her had a cold expression on her face. She was still petite and had her usual long dark hair which currently had added a few strands of grey hair to it. She didn't look so aged. One could think she was in her mid 30s. And with the graceful way she walked, anyone could easily guess she had not been born in a poor home.

Cixi finally stopped in front of her. Changyu's face was also expressionless when she said ”Long time no see”

But to her suprise and to the surprise of everyone there, Cixi slapped her hard on her face.
