The answer was coming from a place of pride, this much Rose knew. i i’s pride had always been bigger than everything else about her. She would not return to the Jun family ancestral ho until she had sothing to show that she had succeeded. It did not matter how small that sothing was, as long as she did not look like a loser.
Rose poured wine in her glass and gulped it all down. "Fine, I won’t push because I know that no matter what I say, you will not be moved. Tell what your plan is because I am giving you a maximum of half a year before dragging you back ho with or without your consent. You have to be ho for the next Lunar new year."
Half a year. i i thought about the deadline her sister was giving her. She wondered if it would be enough ti for her camp business to show success. If she wanted to et that deadline, she needed to work hard.
She thought about the past Lunar new year’s away from her family. None of them had been enjoyable, she spent them in the kitchen working to feed the Mo family with a few sisters-in-law. Mingzhu would also be by her side because when she was not, other children would pick on her and she would fight back.
Mrs. Sun would find i i and hurl insults at them both while i i fiercely defended her daughter.
One of the worst things about the day was that after all that cooking, she would eat leftovers because while others ate, she would be in the kitchen, washing dishes. Never again, did she want to celebrate the lunar new year like that.
"So, what’s the plan?" Rose knocked her knuckles on the table to get i i’s attention again.
"I am starting my own business," i i shared. "I am going to open a space camp for children. Slowly, I will expand the age range and in future expand the business too. If all goes well for , I will build a space thed amusent park."
"Space!" Rose’s brows shot up and she laughed through her nose. "Is this because that scum is also in space business?"
i i shook her head. "Am I an idiot or glutton for punishnt to go back for more after all he has done to ? I am already involved in space business as a co-founder of Space M. What I am doing now is simply transitioning and focusing on another avenue which is less populated. I have no competitors, if I do this the correct way I will dominate the field."
Rose sent her secretary a ssage asking her to find all the information on space camps or anything like a space thed amusent park in the world. "Where do you plan to open this camp?"
"In The Hollow." i i replied.
As Rose raised her head in shock, the food arrived. Its appetizing sll did not distract Rose from what she had just heard.
"The Hollow!" she exclaid.
i i nodded. "The Hollow." she affird.
"The Hollow!" Again, Rose exclaid.
"How long do we have to keep doing this? No matter how many tis you repeat after nothing is going to change. I already bought land and...."
"Please tell that you did not put it in your na." Rose nearly sent the plate of food flying as she slid her hand over the table to take i i’s hand. "i i you are getting a divorce, this is the ti to hide your assets not acquire more."
"Sister, I am not a fool." i i said and she laughed. "I put it in Mingzhe’s na. Even the house where I live is in Mingzhe’s na. Does Mo Liang dare to grab assets from my brother? He is the Imperial commander and legally permitted to carry a gun."
Rose sighed. "Oh thank God that you have regained your smarts. If only we could find a way to make Mingzhu Mingzhe’s daughter. The words custody would not even be heard from Mo Liang’s mouth."
i i chuckled. "Mingzhe and children....those words don’t complint each other. Unless sothing changed while I was away, what I rember is that he was insisting that he would never marry and keeping a large distance from won."
"He likes children." Rose muttered, even she sounded unsure of what she was saying.
"Do they like him?" i i asked.
Rose recalled all the tis Lian had cried because her uncle Mingzhe gave her a fierce look, confiscated her gaming equipnt or hidden her sweets. It did not help Mingzhe’s case that he was the uncle in charge of vaccinations and physical fitness of all the children in the family. A job he had assigned himself to get out of changing diapers for his nieces and nephews and wiping their snot.
He was also the uncle in charge of keeping track of all the children’s academic progress. In short, he was not the fun uncle.
No matter, the children loved him because he was the famous inspirational Imperial commander. He was good enough for bragging points at school and they had dragged him from one school to another to prove to other children that their uncle was the Imperial commander.
Rose shared with i i so of the things she had missed out on when she was gone. The two sisters laughed, enjoyed the al and went their separate ways.
i i went to the offices of Space M, she took employees of a moving company along with her. Nobody stopped them from venturing inside because her face was familiar and she was a shareholder in the company.
What astounded the guards however were the two dozen moving n that were walking steadily in an organized manner like soldiers.
The employees she t on the way either greeted her politely or dismissed her with derisive looks. Most appeared to be stressed and there was chaos. Phone were ringing no stop, employees were around with paperwork, others were answering two calls at the sa ti.
i i guessed that it had to do with the loss of the space materials. The first place they went was Mo Liang’s office. He was inside, talking to his cousin Mo Ai.
She did not knock and pushed the door open, walking in arrogantly but at sa ti with grace.
"Start with the desk and the chairs." she commanded the moving n.
"i i!" Mo Ai exclaid. She looked i i over from head to toe. "Wow, did you get plastic surgery?"
i i did not address the ridiculous question, her eyes were on her husband that was stuttering because the movers had just shoved him out of the chair.
"i i what is this?" he asked, in a raised voice.
"I am taking back my property." She replied with a satisfied grin. "Anything in this building that I bought, I am taking back."
