Chapter 244 - No comment (2/2)
”I heard father came and gave you a visit at work the other day...” Madam Li sat down.
”He did. Nothing that I can handle.”
Madam Li nodded approvingly.
”I picked up some fresh fruits at the market today for you.” Lena spoke.
”They are lovely. You know how to pick your fruits...” Madam Li signaled the worker to take the fruits and put them away.
”I actually came here today to see if Kris told you yet... about the dinner at my parent's house this weekend.”
”Depends on how you define told... I got the new... but from a stupid text message.” Madam Li looked displeased. ”Who knew that having another woman in his life means his mother is insignificant. Seems like he had forgotten who had been with him all his previous years.”
Lena chuckled. ”He has just been busy lately.”
”Of course... he better be.” Madam Li was hinting at him being busy giving her grandchildren. ”By the way Lena, are you free today?”
”I have taken the day off to rest and recover.”
Madam Li grinned. Of course, Lena should take more days off to rest and recover. If her son had been busy as he should, then surely Lena need all the days off she can get.
”I was hoping you can come with me to visit an old friend.”
”Certainly, I can.” Lena replied.
Since Madam Li was going out, she needed to have her driver with her. So Lena sat in the car with Madam Li and her driver drove. Lena had noticed that although Madam Li had her unusual health complications, she was a very strong and athletic woman regardless.
You would not expect her to have any health conditions if you look at her.
When they arrived, Lena did not expect them to be at a small shrine. The area was beautifully decorated and the garden was well tamed.
Lena silently followed Madam Li as they arrived at a small house. Madam Li took off her shoes and went in, and Lena did the same.
”Lady Wu.” Madam Li greeted the old woman.
Again, Lena silently followed Madam Li's lead.
”Madam Li... I see that you have brought her with you.”
'Me?' Lena sat down but she felt like this was not the simple ”meeting an old friend” scene.
Lena looked at Lady Wu who was obviously looking Lena from top to down. She was also nodding her head.
'Is she.. a matchmaker?' Lena was a bit uncomfortable with all the staring but she kept her goody two shoes face on.
”Young lady... come here. I want to have a closer look at you.”
Lena was reluctant but she moved closer to the old lady. Lady Wu help Lena's chin and turned her head side to side as she looked at Lena.
Lady Wu was sure her gift was correct about Lena having such a dark soul... but the woman in front of her had nothing but a strong aura of blessings. Finally touching her, Lady Wu can feel why her senses were all mixed up.
”When is your birthday.” Lady Wu asked.
”Oh.. um.. August 15th XXXX.”
”Hm....Not that one... I am asking for YOUR birthday.”
”Mine... but my birthday is really August 15th.”
Lena looked at Lady Wu and could feel what the woman was suggesting.... she must be asking for Shen Qian's birthday... not Lena... that means that she knows.
Lena looked at Madam Li and did not reply back.
Lady Wu also looked at Madam Li. ”Madam.... if you don't mind, I would love to observe the lady alone... without interference of another energy.”
”Ah... very well, Lady Wu.” Madam Li excused herself and left them both alone in the room.
”She had left.” Lady Wu looked at Lena. ”Now... tell me. When is your birthday.”
”May 4th XXXX.”
”What time were you born?”
Lady Wu continued to ask Lena questioned and she answered them all to the best of her recollection. In the end... Lady Wu burst into a loud chuckled and Lena was even more concerned about her life....
This was not the first time she saw a crazy lady... why are all spritual old woman so creepy looking.
”Now tell me... little one. Who told you that you were blessed?”
”I don't know. It was an old lady at a shrine for the deity of Sheming.”
”Shemin...? AHAHAHAHAHA..” Lady Wu laughed. ”I thought that the old lady was already dead.”
