Chapter 243 - But I want to talk to you. (1/2)

Sara smiled contendedly when Jianjun finally sat down beside her. Now, they were both sitting opposite Changyu, whose attention was on the food she was eating.

Jianjun pinched Sara's left hand that was placed on her thigh which caused her to flinch in pain while his face remained straight like he did nothing.

Changyu's gaze was solely on her food as she chewed gently. Not once did she raise her head to look at the both of them or the others who were looking at her with curious eyes. Even Lisa was busy taking pictures of her.

”What do you think?” Sara asked.

”It's okay.” Changyu said without raising her head.

'What? It's okay?' Jianjun thought maybe he didn't hear her correctly. Did she just give an 'it's okay' remark and that was it?

He sighed in annoyance but decided against saying something to her.

When Sara heard him sigh, she almost laughed out. She felt bad for her father whose ego was probably bruised right now.

”Thank you very much for the compliment Miss Song. I'll go get busy now” He said before standing up.

Her chopsticks stopped mid air and she slowly lowered the Chicken she had just been about placing inside her mouth back to the bowl. ”It's Miss Changyu.” She corrected unhappily and for the first time since he placed the food and drink in front of her, she raised her head to looked at him.

He stared right back without flinching, to the point where the ambiguous atmosphere became obvious to everyone present there.

A knock on the door drew their attention and when they all turned to look at who it was this time, they all saw Cixi standing there.

She was wearing a leopard print coat, leather pants and a white faux-fur ankle boot. Her hair was let loose and her face had just a little make-up.

When Jianjun saw her, he immediately looked at Changyu who was also looking at the door. And he noticed how tensed she was even if it wasn't obvious to the others.

He knew it was going to be a bad idea if Cixi saw her there but there was nothing else he could do.

To the others, Changyu looked as composed as ever as she watched Sara open the door for Cixi to come in.

”Aunt! You've missed half the day already. Merry Christmas.” Sara greeted her with a hug.

As Cixi hugged her back with a smile on her face, her eyes suddenly caught sight of the woman sitting down besides where her brother was standing.

”Miss Wang. It's nice to see you. Merry Christmas” Miss Kang immediately moved to where Cixi was to greet her. She had been feeling down since everyone neglected her. She had taken the pain to come celebrate Christmas with them but look what she got...

The only one who always tried to ship her together with Jianjun was Cixi and so, she liked Cixi a lot.

The smile on Cixi's face vanished as she looked at Changyu who was staring right back at her.

”What are you doing here?” Cixi asked in a gentle but cold tone.

”Mum. That is Miss Changyu. You remember her right?” Joreen asked her mother since they had all seen her faint in front of Mr Chu's house the other day.

”Eating” Changyu replied to Cixi's question with a calm voice.

Cixi looked at Jianjun with disappointment written all over her face. She couldn't believe that her brother had actually allowed this woman come in here and not only that, he had even fed her.

”Aunt what are you doing? She's a guest!” Sara tugged the hem of her dress to get her attention.

She had been able to deduce that her Aunt didn't like Miss Changyu very much and it was going to be a big problem in her shipping plan.

Cixi ignored her and moved closer to Changyu. Now, Changyu ate quietly like she wasn't there at all.
