Chapter 230 - Yes I am (1/2)

Changyu seriously looked at the flier she was holding in her hand and briefly thought about going over to Jianjun's restaurant.

She didn't know how to face them. Especially Cixi, she wanted to apologize to her.

She had tried apologizing to Jianjun but she knew he didn't believe her. Or maybe he didn't want to.

But she knew she had to meet Cixi somehow. She wanted to tell her she was sorry about what her family did to theirs.

But would she listen to her?

Cixi had been her only friend back then. But now, she had no friend. No family. Maybe she only had enemies lurking around.

And....it was almost Christmas.

She left her room and watched from the stairs as her employees decorated the house.

Hani had told her about the wishes of every member that worked in the household— they wanted to have their Christmas party here.

It was as if they all felt bad for her and had decided to stay for Christmas instead of going home since she would be lonely. No matter how much she refused, they stood by their words, promising to celebrate Christmas quietly since she hated noises.

She wondered what was up with all of them. Only three had followed her from abroad: Hani, her Cook and another secretary cum driver of hers. The others had been employed after she arrived. So why were they being so loyal to her?

They had all each given her Christmas presents.

And for the first time in her life, she felt a bit of 'Christmas'.

Ever since she was younger, her family hadn't bothered much about celebrating Christmas or whatever festive season.

They only went out for parties and wherever they would present themselves to be worshipped during those periods.

So this sight was somehow refreshing to her.

It was too bad she didn't have any biological family to celebrate with.

She watched as they cheered after the little bulbs of light came on the tree.

She must admit it looked really pretty and she couldn't help but smile.

”Miss Changyu. You should place the star on the top of the tree to complete it” Her driver called her from downstairs.

The others looked up at her and agreed with him. Although she seemed like a very difficult person, they knew her very well. They knew how nice she was, how she cared for them and their families. She had even given them Christmas bonuses.

”That's a bad idea” She said with a laugh.

”Here's a stool you can use.” Her Cook carried the stool to place it in front of the large tree.

She signed in resignation before taking the stairs down.

She dropped whatever she was holding on another stool and carefully climbed the stool in front of the tree.

Her hands still did not reach the top so she had to stretch. Thankfully, it worked this time.

Although it was a bit crooked at first, she was able to fit it in properly.

”Merry Christmas to all of you” She said with a happy smile and watched them all clap in jubilation.

”Here. You all should go eat there.” She handed Hani the flier as well as a credit card from the purse she had dropped on the ground when she climbed the stool.

”It's a little advance Christmas treat for all of you”

Weiyoung looked at her former apartment with a melancholic expression on her face.

She was there to get some stuff since she was not going to go back there again.
