27 Old Friend (1/2)
”Huh? What?!” Cao looked dumbfounded at what I said. ”Ace, he has university… can you wait until he finishes university?” Yu Yan asked worriedly as she knew that her son would accept it immediately.
”Mom, I can study and play!” Cao got depressed as his mother shot down the offer. ”Haha! Sister Yu, It will begin after one year, how long does he even have till he finishes? One year?” I smiled as I looked at Yu.
”Huh… Okay, but he needs to finish his bachelor…” Yu gave up, ”Do not worry, I plan to teach in Shanghai for a year, your son will be in good hands, haha!” I finished my tea and stood up.
”Nice meeting you sister-in-law” Emma bowed as she stood up with me after finishing her tea. ”Of coarse! To think that someone is capable of dating Ace” Yu giggled as she had an interest in my relationship with Emma.
”I will leave now, We will meet at Shanghai University tomorrow Cao!” I patted him on the back before leaving the apartment. I took out my phone, ”Rose, you there?” without calling I just looked at the black screen.
”Master, I heard everything, I will prepare your stay and will contact the University,” I nodded and put the phone back in my pockets. ”Emma lets leave.”. Walking down the stairs I heard some noise, once I reached the ground, I found the street filled up.
Reporters were flashing their cameras and getting closer by the second, but the guards are stopping them. ”Mr. Ace! We would like to know what brings you here today?” A young reporter suddenly appeared after he avoided the guards. ”Stop that!” The guard was about to pull him back, ”It is ok, Captain Jax” I stopped him from pulling the reporter.
”Thank you Mr. Ace” The young reporter spoke from his heart as this was an opportunity for him, ”To answer your question, I came to visit someone that took care of me during my childhood” I answered him with a smile.
The reporters that had their writing mode ready began to scribble, ”Uhm, Mr. Ace can we get any updates if you plan to stay in Shanghai for a while?” The young reporter had the mic close to my face. ”Well, how about you wait until tomorrow?” I smiled as I answered him.
”Ok, everyone I need to leave, we will see each other tomorrow” I looked at Jax and nodded. The people made way for me as I entered the car and drove away towards the hotel. ”Emma, tell me, what do you think about this kind of life?” I asked Emma as I held her hands in the car.
”Hm, Not bad if it is with you” Emma smiled as she laughed. She was ignored like a plague before, no one wanted her but now… the world wants to know how. I smiled, and as we were driving, I noticed a kid on the street looking at the car. ”Stop the car, Jax!” I hurriedly shouted, and when the car stopped, I ran to the kid.
The kid was surprised, he began to mutter some things in Mandarin while shaking, ”Rose, translate!”, ”Yes, Master.” A few seconds later Rose began to repeat his words ”Sorry, I won't do it again, don't beat me.”
Fucking hell! Why does he look familiar to me? ”Kid, where is your home?” I asked him while Rose translated. He pointed towards an apartment, I walked with him towards the apartment and saw a small girl sitting outside while hugging her knees. After reaching her, I began to hear some screams coming from inside the house. I kicked the door open, and when I entered I was shocked, it was one of the orphan girls that were with me.
”Stop that!” I rushed towards the man that was hitting her and punched him in the stomach. ”Rose, Call the police and the ambulance fast!” I held her on my hands as she was about to fall. The little kids began to cry as they saw their mother hurt. ”Boss, want us to take care of him?” Captain Jax appeared while Emma held on the two children.
This girl was the same as me, she didn't come to the last meeting, and sadly I forgot her. ”Emma, take them to the car and wait there” I slowly put Angela down on the coach and saw that she fainted. ”Jax, watch her until the ambulance comes.” I pulled back my sleeves and went towards the man who was in pain. He began to shout at me, I slapped him hard.
”Rose, translate to him this words, what is your relationship with her and why are you hitting her?”, Rose began translating from the phone speakers, and the man face changed when he looked at who I am. ”Fuck you! This slut is mine, and I will do anything to her!”, Rose translated.
Good, good! I felt angry, I pulled him out and saw the police cars, I threw him at the police. The police immediately recognized me and when they saw Jax carrying a woman they knew it was abuse. They took away the man and sent Angela to the hospital, I had a headache because the cops wanted to take the kids away but Emma held on them which kept the cops away.
