Chapter 271 - The Sanders Family (1/2)
Sadly when they went back, Kris was stolen by several businessmen. They were also drinking quite a lot so Lena did not stay and intrude their conversations. Instead, she went and chat with some of the young women that she had not seen before.
”Lena Shen?”
A small voice called Lena's name. Lena turned around to see a delicate and cute woman. She must be the same age as Kevin.
”Hello.” Lena greeted her. ”Have we met before?”
”No. But my father talked a lot about you. You are much more beautiful in person than the pictures.”
”Pictures??” Lena was hoping an old man was not taking pictures of her...
”Oh.. I mean like in the news. Mr. Li and you have been in the top news lately.”
”I see...” Lena looked at the young woman more carefully. She looked familiar. ”Are you, by any chance, Hannah Sanders?”
”Yes!” Hannah excitedly grabbed Lena's hand. ”But I take my father's real family name, so I got by Hannah Chen.”
”Chen?”
”When my father moved his business out, he took the last name Sanders and so did my 5 adopted brothers. But I kept the original family surname.”
”I see...” Lena faked a smile. Chen... it couldn't be right... there are so many Chen out there.
”What about your older brother...? I mean does he take Chen too?”
”Older brother??” Hannah pondered. ”Ah... yes.”
”Is he here with you father?” Lena asked.
”No...” Hannah replied softly. ”I... I never met him before. My dad doesn't like talking about him much. But, recently, he said that my brother is coming home.”
Lena had never met Mr. Sanders... so she can't say that if he was who she thought so too.
Hannah did not look a lot like Gary.... but if they were siblings, they would be half-siblings. The information she had gotten about Mr. Sanders said that he is back in China due to his expansion of fortunes for his children.... Was Lena thinking too much about Mr. Sanders being Gary's father?
And even if he is... why is Gary hiding that information so much from Lena? Should she ask Kris instead.... no, Kris made his own brotherhood agreement with Gary? Gary had just made new connections, she should not interfere.
Lena softly shook her head. She would need to see Mr. Sanders before she jumped to conclusions.
”Actually, I have never met your father before,” Lena spoke.
”Really? I can go to introduce you!”
Lena and Hannah excused themselves from the group of young women. Hannah was still holding Lena's arm like they were best buddies.
The past a few people before they arrived at where Mr. Sanders was.
”Papa!” Hannah shouted for her father's attention. She lets go of Lena's arm and hugged her dad.
Lena was really hoping that when the old man turned around.... he wouldn't be the person she assumed him to be. But sadly, looks don't lie.
”Ahaha... my beautiful daughter.” Mr. Sanders turned around and hugged Hannah.
”I've met Lena.” She smiled at Lena.
”Miss. Shen.” Mr. Sanders nodded and put his hand out for a handshake.
”Nice to finally meet you, Mr. Sanders.” Lena smiled and shook his hand.
”Please, Mr. Sanders is what people call me overseas. Call me, Mr. Chen.” Chen Xu replied.
Just then, Lena finally felt the presence of Kris. She was paying to much attention on Mr. Chen that she did not originally see that Kris was talking with him.
Kris put his hand on Lena's waist and met her eyes. He knew then that Lena had connected the dots. Mr. Sanders too, knew that Lena know his real identity.
”I was just talking with Mr. Li here. I guess I should be thanking you too, for taking care of my son so carefully.”
Lena looked back at Chen Xu. She could not read him at all, instead she kept her smile. ”Yes, absolutely.”
On the other hand, Hannah was confused. Before, Lena asked her questions like she did not know anything about her family.... does Lena know her older brother?
”I was hoping that we can all have dinner together.” Chen Xu asked.
