Mrs. Jin hurried out from the dining room, when the maid who was holding the door was slow, the older woman glared deathly at the maid who stumbled and scurry away once she had opened the door out of fear.
Li Jun Wei watched how his aunt venting her anger to maids who didn’t do anything and picked up the wine glass. As he did that, he noticed his wife’s eyes that moved from his glass to his lips. His eyes narrowed faintly in a slow happiness and he turned his eyes at her, "Do you want a drink?" He asked her as if able to read her mind and she gave him a nod. As Li Jun Wei asked, she did want to drink.
"Here, only two glass, okay?" Li Jun Wei gave her the glass and coaxed her with his hand slowly brushing at her that rested in her lap.
Li Lian felt startled by his hand that had been idle and her eyes moved up at him, "O-okay." She brought both hands to her glass taking a sip when the sweet taste co to spread over her tongue, a taste that she like. Li Lian in fact could drink more than two glass and Li Jun Wei who had seen her ability on drinking also know that she could drink much but he didn’t want her to be wasted and in the morning to have headache.
Jin Nu Yuan who had been watching the scene of love the two shared subtly but intense whipped her head at the food. In her heart, she cursed at Li Lian. Wasn’t the woman shaless enough to know that she was an adult who was capable enough to take care of herself? But the woman dared to request Li Jun Wei for everything she want. The seductress!
Throughout the dinner, Jin Nu Yuan vented her anger by cutting her food in pieces, not leaving salad and is her soup could be cut into pieces, the young woman swore to cut the food too.
By the ti the dinner ended, Li Lian chose to accompany Madam Li who planned to check the condition of the garden. Li Jun Wei had to leave with his grandfather to talk about the international conference which was a very crucial event for Li Corporation. Jin Nu Yuan tailed Madam Li when Li Lian decided to co with the older woman.
Jin Nu Yuan rounded her hand on Madam Li’s hand, walking side by side to attain the elderly woman’s attention away from Li Lian and her mouth was busy to talk, leaving no chance for Li Lian to add her opinion.
The sky had turned dark above their head by the ti Li Lian reached the garden. The place was large but Madam Li’s space to tend her flower was in a different place. Li Lian inspected the flowers, noticing how most flowers Madam Li had was rare and beautiful.
The older woman with the help of the gardener fixed a few flowers that could only be tend at night. Li Lian received a scarf from a maid to keep her warm and she pulled the scarf over her shoulders to hear Madam Li spoke, "How is Jun Wei at ho?" asked the older woman, curious and expecting Li Lian to know more about her grandson who live far away from her.
Li Lian wondered what she should say or what answer Madam Li wanted from her. "He spends most of his ti at ho with and Xiao Chen."
On Li Xiao Chen’s na, Madam Li pursed her lips and sighed which Li Lian notices and she thought to be careful before ntioning Li Xiao Chen as Madam Li seed to be very distressed over the accident that happen to the younger brother a few days ago, "That’s good to hear, Jun Wei rarely spend his own ti to do anything than work that it concerns ."
"Jun Wei love to play violin, I heard that he studied it alone," said Li Lian and Madam Li turned her face to look at Li Lian.
"He did?" and seeing Li Lian nod, the older woman smiled, "He must have learned it from his father. My eldest son loves to play violin in the past. When he passed away, Jun Wei was the most saddest. Before when he was still young, he looked nothing like now. He was a brighter boy."
Li Lian recalled the large picture and she could guessed Madam Li’s words were correct by rembering the childish smile Li Jun Wei had that was rare for him to ever have again now.
"Jun Wei when he is a little," murmured Li Lian, "I wonder how he looked like?" she stated aloud the question that were in her mind and Madam Li who didn’t miss the girl’s words even with the whisper the woman spoke of laughed.
Jin Nu Yuan chided a comnt from where she stood at, "Brother Wei has been handso since he is young. He is a very calm person and many admired him even when he was still small." Jin Nu Yuan smiled, feeling superiority once again that there was things about Li Jun Wei that she didn’t know. "Don’t tell brother Wei didn’t show you his childhood pictures?" There was a smile of mocking on Jin Nu Yuan’s face as she spoke the words.
"I don’t think Jun Wei have a picture of his childhood either." said Madam Li, "If you are curious, we could see his childhood pictures tomorrow." The older woman offered the sa words as Li Xiao Chen that unfortunately didn’t happen.
"I would like to," said Li Lian with a smile who then looked at the flower and she spoke, "Grandmother it would be better if you keep that wilted part without cutting it."
Jin Nu Yuan rolled her eyes, "If we doesn’t cut this part, it would make the rest of the flower to wilt along."
Li Lian smiled and she shook her head, "This flowers is a little different from the rest, the wilted part are better keep as it would help the rest bloom and by ti it would shed."
"Oh, thank you Li Lian," Madam Li said with surprise, she didn’t know Li Lian also knew flowers and the gardener agreed with Li Lian’s words as to not cut the wilted flower. Jin Nu Yuan who had spoke the opposite felt herself ashad by her own words and her face was left red.
