Chapter 247 - An old picture revealed everything. (1/2)
Earlier Murphy has called Lifen and asked her to meet. She has told him that she was heading to Li Corporation, so he had especially chose the lunch break to meet her.
He knew she has newly joined the CEO position, hence doesn't wanted to interrupt her during her work.
”Uncle Angel!”
When Lifen called him from behind with the same words that he was used to hear from the little girl twelve years ago and also she has given after meeting them as Wu Lifen, he reprimanded himself for being so stupid to not realize it before.
How can he not coordinate the similarity between the little girl and her before?
Even after finding her so similar, he never tried to cross-checked Deming's fact before. But there was no use of crying over the spilt milk now. The time has already been lost, necessary damage has already been done, now nothing can be get undone to correct it.
”Ah! You are here. Come and sit. It's lunch break, you must be hungry. Order something for yourself first”
He gestured the waiter to come to the table and take orders. Lifen didn't hesitate and ordered herself some dishes.
When she looked back at Murphy, he was looking at her as if trying to assess something in her.
”Uncle Angel is there something wrong with my face? Have I become more ugly from the last time we met?”, she asked with a giggle. She knew what Murphy was trying to assess her.
”You naughty girl. What were you thinking while hiding the truth of your identity. Because of that such a mess is created and still you are asking things like you are looking ugly or not? I should just go and let Deming know everything. He himself will think of the ways to deal with you”, Murphy snorted.
”No no Uncle Angel...you can't do that. I have already requested you to hide it for the time being. Please don't let Deming know for the time being”, Lifen said hurriedly thinking Murphy has being serious about revealing things to Deming.
”Silly girl! I have never thought that you would buy my words that easily. I know I shouldn't be one to reveal this truth to him. It will be better if you do it”, he said as he looked at her.
”And the time is not perfect at this moment. There is many things to get settled before this. You both have screwed up the situation with your stubbornness and mistakes. So we should first think of the ways to solve these first”, he said and paused after seeing the waiter approaching the table with food.
The waiter quickly led the food on the table and was about to serve but Lifen interrupted, ”Thank You but we will help ourselves!”
The waiter left and Lifen proceeded to serve food on two plates. She has always been considerate and respectful towards her elders.
So how can she not respect Murphy. She knew him from her childhood and has always seen him taking care of Deming. He has often helped her before too both when she was the little girl and also when she met him after ten years as Wu Lifen.
