Chapter 278 - Confused (1/2)

Sara had a long day and so, she slept immediately she was done freshening up.

Joreen also slept off after waiting for her mother to call but the call never came in.

As for Jianjun who was lying on the couch with a blanket and pillow, he could not sleep.

How could he sleep when the woman he had loved all his life was just right inside his room?

He had been trying to have a lone time with her so they could finally talk because an issue as sensitive as that, they could not just raise it when the kids were around.

He looked at the direction of his room's door and considered going in to speak with her now that the others were asleep. But he just could not bring himself to go meet her now.

As for Changyu, she was sitting on the bed with her injured foot elevated with a pillow.

With her phone in hand, she went through the news with a dark expression.

Everyone was busy talking about the Songs and how they had fallen completely.

Most people rejoiced because the Song elders were known for acting cocky. Now that they were finally out, all they could see was their daughter and the Li family.

”As Ramen is best served hot, so should Justice be served” She said in a low voice.

A few days ago when she had still been looking for a way to find her daughter, she had gone to look for Anna's family.

After searching, she was finally able to locate Anna's daughter, who was living in the countryside.

She sighed when she remembered how the lady had sent her away and said she did not want to see any Song in front of her.

After pleading with her to speak with her, she told Changyu how her mother had lost her husband barely a year after marriage. He was not even able to see their child before he died in an accident.

Ever since then, her mother, Anna, dedicated her life into working for the Songs.

She had left her daughter with her younger sister and only went to see her when she was allowed off by the Songs.

She did not have enough time with her mother because the woman was busy taking care of someone else's daughter.

One day, Anna was unfortunate to be involved in a hit and run.

No one cared. She did not see any Songs who came to offer their condolences. No one came for her burial ceremony.

She had tried to meet with the Songs at several times but when they finally saw her, they gave her some wads of cash and asked her to take care of herself.

That was it. That was all!

She was bittered because she always watched the news and kept seeing how the Songs were soaring. Even Changyu was living well in the states and even though no one saw her, everyone knew her name.

She cried a lot as she poured out everything she had buried in her heart for decades.

In her thirty-six years of life, she could count the number of times she slept by her mother's side. She would not have felt really bad if the Songs had cared but because they did not, she felt her mother wasted her life helping those ungrateful bunch of rats.

Now, she was busy taking care of her sick aunt who had raised her. They were poor, helpless. And she was also unmarried.

All effort of Changyu to help was rejected.

Everything that kept happening reminded Changyu of how childish she had been.

Anna had practically raised her like her own child yet, she knew nothing about her.

And no matter how much she tried to offer her assistance to Anna's daughter, the woman sent her out of their little apartment.

As she dropped her phone and relaxed her body on the bed, she suddenly remembered the little box.

Quickly, she sat up and raised the pillows but found nothing there.

”Shit! He must have seen it” She realised Jianjun must have seen it when he was arranging the bed.

”Ah! You can't hide it from me” There was a sudden glint in her eyes before she stood up.

In case he did not know, her second name was Miss Curious.

She put on the light and checked to make sure the door was properly locked before she began her search hunt.

She searched every nook and cranny of the room and even under the bed but she did not still find it.

The last place to check was his wardrobe.

She was a bit skeptical about it because she did not like going through people's things. But now, she had no other choice. She wanted to know what was inside that box. She was curious to know how his treasured items looked like.

Slowly and carefully, she opened one side of his wardrobe.

Her face unconsciously frowned when she saw how scanty it was.

There was almost nothing inside except for two clothes on the hanger, a luggage box and a little wrapped gift box.

She recognised the gift box as the one Sara had used to place the clothes she bought for him on the day they both went shopping.

”Why is it so empty?” She asked herself as her eyes scanned his wardrobe.

She did not want to believe that those were all he had and that he did not take care of himself.

She led a miserable life but her wardrobe was bigger than their entire apartment. So why was his like this?

She knew he had never been a fan of fashion but he should at least have a minimum of a hundred clothes right? She thought before saying in a whisper.

”I am going to smack some sense into his dumb head.”

She tried to open his clothes box but kept withdrawing her hand.
