Chapter 195 - Once in a blue moon (1/2)
While the guys were having their own fun, Lena was driving to her parent's house. When she arrived, Aunt Mary told Lena that Shen Mao was in his office by Shen Milli was in the garden. Lena went to see her mother first.
Shen Milli was on the grass, removing weeds from the flowers and trimming the leaves.
”Mom.” Lena shouted out to her.
Shen Milli turned and saw her daughter walking toward her. ”So you still remember that I am your mom and this is your house.”
Lena smiled and went on the grass and hugged her mother. ”Yes.”
Shen Milli handed Lena some garden gloves so they can work together.
”So I heard... it did not go well between you and Ming Zhao. How come? I thought you both liked each other.” She asked.
”Ming Zhao and I get along well, but we do not have any feelings for each other. If I was forced to be with him, our life would be nice... but it would be a relationship built on respect rather than the mutual feelings of love. But we are not put into the situation of being forced, so I rather choose love and happiness over just being okay.”
”As I have said before, we won't force you to marry anyone you don't want to. But... if you want to start your own big family, you need to start building it now. If you wait too long, all the handsome men will get married already.” Shen Milli held Lena's hand. ”You are not... going back to Andy, right?”
”Ah, no mom. Never.”
”Good. You deserve someone better than those who left you.”
”I know.” Lena smiled.
”You have not seen your father yet, correct? Go and talk to him. Since you do not want to get married yet, he will put you to work.”
Lena took off her gloves and went inside the mansion. She washed her hands before going to her father's office. Lena knocked on the door first and then entered after hearing a response.
”Dad.”
Shen Mao smiled at her daughter. He felt that there was something different about her. ”Sit down.”
Lena sat down. ”Mom says that you have something for me to do?”
”Yes. We have a few new investors at the company. I know you do not want to go big, but as my daughter, you should be there tomorrow with me. It will be a good experience for you.”
”New investors? They must have invested a lot for you to personally do this.”
”You think so too. I thought it was weird when they first invested in our SHEN company, but Henry already dig through all their past business and they are genuine about investing in our company.”
”Then, I will go to work with you tomorrow.” Lena answered.
”Oh and Lena. Make time to go see Andy too. I know you both are not together anymore, but our families should still be there for each other. A powerful man above does not have many people around them.”
”Will do Father.” Lena got up and left.
She texted Henry to forward the details about the new investors to her. Lena texted Kris about what he was doing, but there was no reply from him.
Little did she know, the men were having their own war at Kris' house.
