Chapter 36 - Light Bulb (2/2)

”Did you not know, your mother --” Lena spoke but Madam Li suddenly squeezed her hand a bit. Lena took it that the mom must not want to worry her son.

”Was... tired from the large crowd so I had James sent her home early.” Lena finished.

”You are such a nice young lady… who would want to hurt someone like you.” Madam Li changed the topic.

”You're right…” Lena stared at Kris.. as if speaking to him. ”What kind of evil person would want to hurt me.”

Kris met Lena's eye and he felt a cold chill. He had never felt such dire feelings before from someone else other than his grandfather.

”But I am alright now. Ming-ge has been helping me and my family with the situation.”

'Ming-ge? The young master Zhao? Are they this close to calling each other by their first names? My son is too far behind!!!!' Madam Li thought.

”Our Li family can help too. After all, I am to be blamed for you being here too. As you know, my some has very high resources for these types of situations.”

”Really?” Lena's eyes glistened. She was laughing inside her heart. ”With the Li resource, I am pretty sure you will find the MAN that wants to hurt me in no time.”

Lena spoke sarcastically, trying to rub some tensions to Kris… who obviously caught on her attitude.

”Of course, my son is very diligent. Right?” Madam Li turned to Kris.

”Anything my mother says is true.” He sternly spoke.

Kris stood up and walked towards his mother. ”Mother, you should leave soon too. You still have to visit grandmother today for the tea ceremony.”

”That is right… then I'll be leaving. I'll have my people contact you about a day for me to come visit your collections.”

”I'll be waiting then,” Lena replied.

Kris walked his mother to the door in which he quickly said, ”You go first. I need a moment to speak to Miss. Shen alone.”
