Chapter 228 - 227: Missing Piece-II
"Yes, me met in the garden I didn’t get the chance to say anything before," said Ms. Qin, then her body bowed to show her gratefulness, "Thank you for the other day. If it wasn’t for your help, I would have ended up badly than a bruise on my cheek." When she said the words, Li Lian saw that her cheeks were indeed swollen but was skillfully hide under her makeup. Ms. Qin continued, "It was a problem of mine that I thought I should end by myself, but I didn’t expect he would do that." Her eyes turned sullen as she remembered her husband who she was about to divorce now.
"It’s great to see they you are alright," Li Lian replied, returning the woman’s thanks with a soft smile.
"May I ask if you have time now? It would be great if we could eat together." said the woman trying to show her thanks by offering Li Lian time to eat.
"My apologies, but I am on my way to visit a son of my manager who is sick." said Li Lian for the woman to nod with an unsatisfied expression. Then Li Lian saw the woman pulled a small note and pen to write numbers and took her hand to pushed the paper in.
"If there are time, please call me." Ms. Qin smiled at her and add, "I wish we can talk again when the time comes." and when the woman left, Li Lian opened the paper and placed it inside her bag. She recalled Mrs. Sun’s words regarding how most people don’t get married to the people they wish to be and had to marry the choice of the parents, She wondered if Li Family was different than the rest. Grandmother Li and grandfather Li were people with warmth heart who had greeted her kindly regardless of her past. But then she wondered how much of her past do grandparents Li know?
At the same time, Li Xiao Chen came from the opposite path where Li Lian was standing at. Beside him was Wei Mo Ran, she crossed her arm in against her chest, her expression was sullen with a frown but by the time she arrived next to Li Lian, there was a smile on her lips.
"Is there a problem?" Li Lian took the chance to ask, seeing how Li Xiao Chen had come only to bring Wei Mo Ran and the air before they came to her was taut.
"A small trouble, but it had been solved. The cause of the problem resurfaced but it should be okay now." replied Wei Mo Ran and she looked at Li Xiao Chen who was quiet.
Li Xiao Chen sighed and gave a nod, "Sist-Ms. Yue, where will you be going now?" asked Li Xiao Chen curiously.
