Chapter 228 - Pick up a random stranger (2/2)
Lena woke up early the next morning. Madam Li did not exactly tell her what time she was having the driver pick her up so Lena just woke up extra early. She got dressed and pretty-up and was just waiting for her ride.
She told her parents that she had an event to attend and was getting picked up. Her parents stayed in their room and Lena just waited in the living room for her ride.
Finally at 10 a.m., her ride was here. Lena got up, grabbed her bag and went out. It was a big black limo. There were a driver and a bodyguard. The driver came out and opened the door of Lena.
”Morning, Miss. Shen.”
Lena smiled at the driver and thanked him. She got into the limo and sat lonely in the spacious car.
”Is anyone else joining me?” Lena asked. She was curious why such a fancy ride just for herself.
”No, miss. Just you today.”
The driver drove out of the Shen mansion property and continue to drive to the Main Li mansion. Lena does not know exactly how far the ride was going to be. She noticed that the bodyguard kept looking at her.
Not in the sense that he was interested in her... but more like he was spying on her. Lena ignored him and just stared out the windows.
She did not use her cellphone nor go for any of the refreshments in the limo.
After a while, Lena could feel that they were near. The limo slowed down and they went past gated security.
”Miss. Shen, Madam Li is outside waiting for you already.” The bodyguard finally spoke for the first time in their ride.
Lena nodded in response. ”And Kr--- I mean your young master?”
”Young Master Li is already inside the mansion. I would be near you at all times today as commanded by Madam Li. I will not be visible but with you, in any case, you get separated.”
”I understand.” Lena was not sure why she would get separated but she understood that it was always better to play it safe.
The driver pulled up to the front of the mansion and Lena spotted Madam Li outside, waiting for her arrival.
The driver parked the car, got out and opened the door for Lena. Lena gently got out of the Limo.
”Lena!” Madam Li hugged her. ”So glad you can make it.”
”Yes.”
Madam Li nodded at the driver and he went back into the limo and drove away. By the time Lena turned around, the bodyguard was already gone... as he said... ”won't be visible.”
”Kris is already inside. Brunch is already set up. As expected, my mother-in-law did bring in a woman.”
”Do not fret Madam Li, I would not let you or Kris down at all.”
Madam Li smiled. She led Lena inside the mansion and they both walked to the main dining room. Lena could hear the laughter of an older woman and a younger one.
When they both arrived, the room was completely silenced. Kris too turned to look at them. He spotted Lena but showed no reaction. He just turned his head back again to the dining table as if their presence was not important.
Old Madam Li smiled mischievously. ”Li Bai, I did not think when you said that you were bringing a friend with you, that it would be such a young woman.”
”My mother did not go pick up a random stranger, she went to receive my girlfriend,” Kris spoke out loud. His voice had no emotions though... it was just his usually boss and stern voice. Kris took the glass of water from the table and took a sip.
Lena smiled inside... this man... oh how much their minds are so connected.
Lena bowed. ”Hello, I am Kris' girlfriend, Lena Shen.”
”Girlfriend?” Old Madam Li scoffed. She knew that Kris would never have one... especially someone as low quality as Lena Shen. ”You never had any female friends... when did friend turn into girlfriend?”
Lena lifted up her head and smiled widely at Old Madam Li. ”Girlfriend Can also turn into wife too, Grandmother Li.”
