Li Lian that night went back to the room early, alone as she fell asleep while Li Jun Wei hadn’t co back as he continued to speak with his grandfather. Because it had been long since she drank alcohol, the side effect made her sleepier and even though she had told herself not to sleep and tell Li Jun Wei what she wish to tell at night, the sleepiness ca to attack her before she was able to do anything.
In morning, Li Lian woke up early and was dressed to go early. Li Jun Wei had left to his company. With the lack of eting beside each other after the dinner, Li Lian who now was standing in front of a large window glass sighed.
"Is there anything the matter, mistress?" asked the maid nad Wen who had been following Li Lian as she lead her to the sitting room where Madam Li had called her.
Li Lian turned her face, shaking her head. Her eyes were watching outside when she noticed the car that had just left, "Is there soone who left?" asked Li Lian curiously.
The maid nad Wen had just co from the floor below, standing in the entrance and knew who was outside. "The car didn’t leave but ca, Jin Suzheng young master has arrived with his wife."
Jin Suzheng, the na of Mrs. Jin’s son, thought Li Lian to herself, rembering the conversation they had in the dining room where the man’s na was brought up. Although Li Lian hadn’t heard the details about the man from Li Jun Wei with the way he had spoken of Jin Suzheng in the table last night, she doubted the man was a good one.
Once Li Lian arrived at the sitting room where Madam Li had called her, the maids who had waited in front of the room, opened the door for her to enter. Li Lian’s face had been known well with the maids, they also know how to respect Li Lian who was the wife of the Li Family’s head. Li Jun Wei held more authority in the house than Master and Madam Li as his wife, Li Lian had the highest caste in the house.
When the door was pushed open, Li Lian entered to see beside Madam Li was Jin Nu Yuan who was smiling in glee with a man standing in front of the two. The three people inside the room heard the door opened and their eyes imdiately went toward Li Lian. Madam Li broke to a bright smile.
Since the first ti they t, Madam Li had smiled to her, thought Li Lian to herself. Li Lian thought if the elderly woman was very happy to finally have her as Li Jun Wei’s wife or if Madam Li had let go the idea of having a bride and to have Li Lian now was such a bug surprise for her.
"Finally you arrive, the room is far from yours, isn’t it?" asked Madam Li from where she seated and Li Lian went toward the elderly woman to et eyes with the tall man whose hair was curly brown. His face reminded Li Lian very much of Mrs. Jin which answer to all question she needed to ask.
"It isn’t too far," replied Li Lian although is she was to be honest it wasn’t only far but a road trip. She wondered how odd it was for a person to walk inside their own house only to arrive at a room after almost twenty minutes? The main house was nothing less than a shopping mall, thought Li Lian.
"It’s not too far if Li Lian could walk a little faster." grumbled Jin Nu Yuan. She started her day happily to et her brother she hadn’t seen for a long ti and having Madam Li’s attention that was now gone by the entry of Li Lian.
Jin Suzheng narrowed his eyes slightly at his little sister, wondering why with the tense air between her and Li Lian before the man turned his face at Li Lian. Jin Suzheng smiled at Li Lian that she returned out of politeness, "I believe this is our first eting, my na is Jin Suzheng, Jun Wei’s cousin."
Li Lian looked down on the man who had offered his hand for a handshake and returned when she felt the man’s hand oddly wrapped on her slowly that felt as if he was trying to rub his hand on her, "I’ve heard of you once," replied Li Lian and the man raised his brows.
With his hand still on her, Li Lian pulled her hand away from the handshake. Bringing her hand to her skirt, she heard Jin Suzheng spoke, "You’ve heard of ? I hope that is a good trait that you heard of."
Li Lian didn’t know if she should tell that his lies was almost found out in the dining room and only smiled for Madam Li to take her stead and explained, "Last night upon dinner, we brought up your na, Li Lian must have heard it that ti."
"I heard from the maid who brought here that you co with your wife, Mr. Jin." said Li Lian and Madam Li spoke,
"You could call Suzheng and everyone in the family by his na, Li Lian. You are a part of the family now, don’t hold back." said the woman with a warm consideration.
"Yes, that would be better." agreed Jin Suzheng ignoring his little sister whose mouth was telling him no without voice. "My wife is currently taking a rest, she is feeling tired after the long ride." Li Lian humd inwardly and have the man a nod outside.
Madam Li then made space for Li Lian by removing the couch pillow to the side and tapped on the surface of the couch, "Co and take a seat here Li Lian, I’ve brought what you requested for."
Li Lian looked that at the table in front of Madam Li was three volu of albums that had her smile, "Thank you grandmother."
Madam Li who could sense her excitent nodded in approval.
