Chapter 74 - Is she the one I am thinking of? (1/2)

The very next day, Lifen woke up early in the morning. She has to tell her mother everything before she take any step further. She has always considered Mother Wu as her real mother.

Mother Wu always had good interests in heart for her. She has loved her dearly and has never let her feel the absence of her own mother and father. Lifen was not that connected to Father Wu but still she considered him not less than her father.

”Early Morning, Mumma”, Lifen said in a groggy voice, wrapping her arms around her. Her eyes were still half lidded. She gently placed her face on Mother Wu's shoulder.

”Ahh! my girl got up so early today. Is there anything special about today?” Mother Wu's one hand patted the arms wrapped around her waist and the went behind to cup her daughter cheeks gently.

Lifen nodded and led her to the dining table. She helped her mother sit on the chair and then went to the other side to take the seat.

Mother Wu was waiting anxiously to listen, what Lifen wants to say to her. Several minutes passed by by there was only deafening silence. ”Lifen, already 10 minutes passed away. When are you going to....”

”Mumma, I am going overseas to study”, Lifen snapped out in between. She tightly shut her her to avoid the expression of her mother. She knew it wouldn't be easy to let her go far away from her.

”I am happy for you, Lifen”, Mother Wu said with a smiling face, her eyes filled with tears of happiness. Lifen slowly opened her eyes to look at her mother. Was he hearing things or was her mother lying to her?

”Really?”

”Yeah, Ofcourse I am happy for my daughter. Why would I, be sad if my little bird is going to fly higher. It's a matter of proud instead”, saying the words, her tears rolled down her cheeks. She gently held Lifen's hands which were placed over the table and continued, ”I love you, my girl and love doesn't cage anyone from flying higher instead it's gives more feathers to let them fly even higher”.

”And above all, I know my girl is not some ordinary girl of the city. She is the heiress of Li Corporation, one of the biggest corporation of the country. I have known all your accomplishments in the company. You are born to accomplish the success. I can't be a barrier for you”, Mother Wu said with a smile on her face.

Lifen felt very lucky. She never blamed God for making her orphan at a young age. Blaming was not in her nature, not even in her childhood. She has always been thankful to God for surrounding her with genuine and lovable people. She has always thanked the God for gifting her such a lovely mother.

Lifen nodded profusely at her mother, ”Thank You, Mumma. For everything, for loving me so dearly, encouraging me and always being on my side”.

In Wang Corporation.

From the last few days, every employee is being extra cautious around the devil. In the last three days, 15 employees has already been fired out of the Corporation.

The marketing department of the company is sitting around the table attending the weekly meeting which more like facing the wrath of their devil boss. It's already been around 2 hours and still meeting is not announced to be adjourned. The presentation is being recited and presented again and again. The representative of the team is drenched in cold sweat, unable to find his mistake. The silence in the room was more scary the death itself.

At this very moment, a buzz of a cellphone was heard. The vibrating sound was enough to scare anyone. They knew this could heighten the devil's wrath.

”Sorry, it's my mistake”, Murphy said nonchalantly. Deming tilted his head to shot him a glare.

Murphy slipped out his phone to see his text message received. As expected, it was from Lifen.

[ Little Lifen: Uncle Murphy, I hope I am not disturbing you. Today I wanna visit Jie, is it possible?]
