Chapter 375 - 356: Sneaking Mission-I
With her grandmother, Li Lian walked out of the building when she recalled Xie Hue Lin’s words of how there would be an important announcement. Her hand that hold her grandmother’s hand slightly raised for her grandmother to have a better hold. "Grandma, I heard that there would be an important announcement made today?"
Li Lian watched how Senior Mrs. Xie’s expression upon the mention grew uncomfortable. "You will know later," said her grandmother to then quickly change the conversation, "but could you stay with me the whole day?"
"Of course I will, today I will only escort you grandma," Li Lian answered for the woman’s smile to widen. They continued to walk down the corridor when Li Lian saw the door on her right side was opened and from the door came out a woman dressed in a flower pattern dress which tightly accented her hourglass figure.
Li Lian, who didn’t first seen the woman’s face could only think it must be Xie Family’s acquaintance as she came out from one of the room in second floor and not bellow where the party was about to start.
When the woman turned her face, she narrowed her eyes on Li Lian for Li Lian to look at the woman with a narrowing expression in exchange. The woman was none other than Mrs. He, He Chang Min’s mother. The woman was past her forty but she kept her beautiful body shape regardless of her age. Her face didn’t show her age, she looked younger almost in her thirties there was an air of coldness in the woman which make her harder to approach but Li Lian saw the woman with her eyes colder.
"Grandmother Xie," greeted Mrs. He with a smile to the old woman, "I heard you were having a talk and was on my way to greet you." Her eyes were directed only to Senior Mrs. Xie, forgetting Li Lian as if she was the air the woman thought her to be.
"Mrs. He, did you come alone? I am glad to see you after a long time, thank you for taking care of Hue Lin," her grandmother answered. Li Lian stopped only to hold her grandmother’s hand but she didn’t expect to meet Mrs. He here.
Using the chance, Li Lian observed the woman’s features closely, seeing how that she did look like a Japanese but then again it was often hard to differentiate between a Chinese or Japanese solely on the features.
