Chapter 250 - Get Lost! (1/2)

”What.... Did you just say?” Changyu asked Hani with wide eyes.

”I just received an information from someone in City X. He claimed to know what happened with your child” Hani repeated.

Changyu stood up slowly as she tried to digest what she had just been told. ”Are you... Are you sure he's genuine?” She asked hopefully.

”I don't really know about that. He mentioned 'HAPPY ENDING' Orphanage and asked for money if we wanted information. You don't have to go there, I'll go check and let you know about everything.”

Changyu's hands began to shake and slowly, she sat back down on her soft couch.

”No... I'll go with you. Get the car ready. We'll leave right now.” She quickly reached for her purse that was lying idly on the couch and hurried outside to leave for City X.

As Jianjun was preparing to leave the restaurant with Sara and Joreen so the girls could both hang out for Christmas, they all appeared surprised when they saw the younger generation of the Li family standing by the restaurant's door.

Muchen, Minde, Hoy and Heya.

”Sis Heya” Joreen was the first to dash forward to hug her movie partner since it had been really long since they last saw each other.

Bilike and Lisa were already out so they were the only ones left.

Sara looked at them in surprise since she hadn't expected to see any of them today.

After they all greeted each other, they were offered the seats beside the window.

”Sorry for intruding. We had no idea you'll be closing this early” Muchen apologized to Jianjun who didn't seem really troubled except for the fact that he had already planned to meet with Changyu.

”What are you still smiling for? Offer them drinks” Jianjun reminded Sara who had been busy smiling at Muchen.

Sara nodded before quickly hurrying to get them drinks. Jianjun also took their orders and prepared them a quick special Christmas delicacy with Sara's help.

”I'll go out for a while” He whispered to Sara before leaving her and Joreen with the Lis.

When Muchen saw that Jianjun was out, he quickly pulled Sara to another seat so they would have their privacy.

Joreen and Heya went on to discuss new movies that were released while Hoy and Minde ate their foods awkwardly.

”What happened today? Did you cry?” Muchen asked Sara.

From the moment he stepped his feet inside, he knew something had been up with her.

Sara knew it was not possible to hide anything from him so she nodded and explained what had happened in the shortest way she could.

When she was done talking, she noticed Muchen was looking at her with surprise and a sad expression at the same time.

”Her parent's really did that to your grandparents? It's quite surprising. How do you feel?” He held her hands lovingly as he asked.

”I just...feel bad for all of them. My aunt, my father, miss Changyu..”

”So you do not know where your Aunt is at the moment?”

Sara shook her head. Even her father and Joreen had asked her the same question but it was still the same answer... She had no idea.

”I can help you take revenge on the Songs if you want. I can also make them reopen the case to prove that your grandparents were framed by them. I believ—”

”No..” Sara cut him off. ”Revenge is meaningless. I don't want to butt in. My father would not like that.”

Muchen wanted to oppose that but he stopped himself and asked instead..

”What about Miss Changyu? Where is she?”

”She looked sick so she left. But she promised to speak with me another day and tell me everything that actually happened.”

She sighed before continuing. ”It's sad isn't it? Now I understand the reason my father was so skeptical of me being with you. He must have been so worried.”

Muchen stood up from where he had been sitting opposite her to sit on the seat beside her and covered both of her small hands with his large warm hands.

She raised her head to look into the eyes that were staring intently at her. ”Trust me... I'll protect you no matter what. My family, other families... None of them will dare hurt you or your family. I promise you” He swore.

”And I believe..” She said with a tiny smile before he dropped his head to Peck her lips.

”Stop it... There are people here” She pushed him away and looked around nervously.
