Chapter 258 - Productive things (1/2)
When Lena woke up the next morning, as Kris told her last night, he was gone already with Becca. He left her a note, saying that people will come later on in the afternoon to upgrade the security system.
Lena was hoping to spend the day with Kris, but she guessed she can go out and do some of her own productive things today instead. She ate a small breakfast and then head out.
Kris dropped Becca off at the safe house in the city and then immediately drove to the Li mansion. He was not even parked when Madam Li was already outside so early in the morning, waiting for him.
Kris got out of his car and Madam Li rushed to him.
”So... am I going to hear good news soon?” Madam Li grinned.
Kris did not smile at all. Instead, to Madam Li, he looked angry.
”What...? Did something not work out? Did... did you not satisfy her? Mother can help you with that.” She added.
”Mother would hear wedding bells and babies crying faster if people would stop interferring.” Kris spoke.
”Who is? Are your grandparents bother you again?”
Kris walked inside as Madam Li followed him into the living room. He sat down on the main sofa and stared at his mother. ”No, it's Becca.”
”Becca?”
”Did you know she broke into my house? Pointed a gun at Lena... I don't think I need to tell you what would happen if anything harms Lena. All the hard work I did with her the night before would have gone to waste. Who knows? Maybe she is carrying your grandson right now?”
Kris knew that it had just been two days and Lena was on birth controls, but if just mentioning grandkids would make his mother think more logically, then he'll play that card.
”Where is Becca now?” Madam Li was displeased too.
”I sent her to the safe house in the city. She's already terminated from me. I haven't done anything to her since I thought I would come and inform you first. After all, I know you took care of her after her parents died.”
Kris stood up from the sofa. ”But let me express it only once to you, mother, if Becca comes near Lena again the same way she did yesterday, I would not care if she was your real daughter or not. I hope you can deal with her appropriately if not, your son knows several ways on how to discipline people.”
Madam Li had taken in Becca when her parents died. Becca was the granddaughter of her uncle, from the Wang family. No one wanted to take Becca in but since Madam Li did not have many children and with her ongoing struggle with Kris during that time, she took Becca in.
One could say Becca grew up with Kris when he was recovering... but to Kris, the woman was just air. Any woman was air. Madam Li guessed that after all this time, the girl had gone rogue.
”What about Ace?” Madam Li pointed out.
Kris was walking out but he stopped and turned around to look at Madam Li. ”What about him? He said he came back to protect his sister-in-law... well I guess he too, needs to choose between his sister-in-law or the girl he loved. A real test on his trust and motive.”
Kris turned around again and walked out to his car. He has much to do yet.
After Kris left, Madam Li made a call.
”Yes, Madam?” A voice answered.
”Where are you now?”
”I am at the Old Li Mansion.”
”Why are you there?”
”I am not sure... Miss. Shen came out early to the mansion this morning. I just follow her as you instruct.”
”Then you were with her yesterday night too?”
”Yes, Madam.”
”Then what were you doing when a gun was pointed at her?” Madam Li raised her voice.
”The gun was not loaded. And the woman was just throwing a trap for Miss. Shen. I detected that the Miss was not in danger so I stayed in my position. Likewise, the Miss handled the situation herself pretty well. There was no need for me to interfere unless Madam wants me to in the future.”
”No. What you assessed was correct. I don't want you to move out unless she is in real danger.”
”Would Madam like me to watch Miss. Becca instead?”
”No. Kris has his people on her. She is a dead end... if she is no use to my son, then she is no use to me.”
Madam Li ended the call after a few more words of exchange. Four sighed and put the phone back in his pocket. He took out his binoculars again, wondering what Lena was doing at the Old Li Mansion.
It was really hard to watch her when she was at Kris house. Four stationed himself in the tall building next to theirs instead. Last night, he was already alerted when he spotted the helicopter hovering over the building. He had his sniper rifle ready to eliminate the target, but once he realized and assessed the situation, he let Lena handled the rest.
