Hello Mr Li - Chapter 325

Changyu did not go home with the Wangs.

With Hani being present, she took a straight trip down to the building her ‘ex-parents’ were locked up.

Immediately she stepped out from the back seat of her car, she bumped into her sister and niece, Yang Aishu.

Both their faces was downcast.

“Aunt!” Aishu called first immediately she saw Changyu come down from her car.

As much as Changyu did not want to have anything to do with the Songs, Aishu was still her niece and she held nothing against her.

“You look pale” Changyu noted immediately.

Suddenly feeling self conscious, Aishu touched her face.

The two sisters locked eyes and none uttered a word.

“Aishu. Please wait in the car. I need to speak with your aunt for a minute” Song Ling said to her daughter who quickly bowed and left both women to discuss.

“You must be happy.” Ling said to her sister with a straight face.

“Never would I have thought you had a grown daughter. Or that you were going to get married.”

“Your point is?” Changyu shot back.

“Please help our parents. You can’t sit back and watch them be sent to prison.”

“Well, I’m here to make sure they both go to prison. It’s what they deserve. If you’ve also done something wrong, I won’t think twice before sending you off also”

“Why are you so evil? Those were your parents!”

“If you hadn’t used a past tense, I would have slapped your face right now. Who do you think you are to raise your voice at me?”

Ling was startled by her sister’s harsh words.

“You don’t know what your parents did or you’re acting like you don’t?”

“Well, I’m sure you’ll take their sides no matter what. The number of years I spent living alone is far more than the years I spent with them. Probably why I cannot be biased just like you.”

Ling did not know what to say.

“I…I…”

“I’ll keep seeing you as my younger sister— if you do not piss me off. So choose your side wisely.”

Having said that, she walked past her and straight inside the building.

“Do you think she’d choose Changyu instead?” Driver Yen asked Hani who was sitting beside him on the passenger’s seat.

Even though they had both only heard bits of their conversation, they knew exactly what the two women had talked about.

“Obviously. Humans aren’t always so loyal. If they see a better option, they’d quickly switch sides” Hani answered.

“But I’ll always be loyal to you” Driver Yen confessed with a shy smile on his face.

Hani could only shake her head. Ever since she asked him whether he liked her, he had been professing his love tirelessly and always looking for any means to remind her about it.

She shook her head and looked out the window. ‘I probably should just accept him right?’ She thought to herself.

——-

“Chang—”

“Save it!” Changyu stopped her mother from calling her name.

“I wanted you both to know that no matter how much you tried to frustrate me, I was still able to find happiness.”

“We saw the news” Her father said in a very low, throaty voice.

“Cong…ratulations on you wedding” Her mother said in between sobs.

“I’m happy you found our granddaughter.”

“Granddaughter? Who is your granddaughter?” Changyu asked angrily.

Madam Song instantly realised she had made a mistake by calling Sara their granddaughter.

“We were wrong. We deserve every punishment the law gives to us. But we sincerly ask for your forgiveness” Elder Song looked at her with pleading eyes, causing Changyu to scoff in disbelief.

“I think I know what is going on here. Because I have a grown daughter who is married into the Li family, you think that’s a bonus to the Song family right? You want me to forgive you both and pretend like none of these ever happened so we could all live happily ever after? Well sorry, cause I cannot.”

“Just so you both know, I just left the house of the former head chef of Delight, Mr Park. And we’ll officially be opening the case of every event that occurred with the Wang family twenty-six years ago.”

Her parents’ eyes widened immediately.

They had thought they were safe since Jianjun decided not to charge them.

They had been in jail for other charges which were still being raised against them.

But now, they wanted to include that one?

“Changyu please.. This is also going to affect your marriage” Her father tried to reason with her. “What do you think people will people say?”

“They’ll call me an evil daughter who got her parents arrested. They’d call me names because my parents ruined other people’s lives. But..”

She stood up from the sit and head towards the door.

“They’ll call me a good wife. And a good mother.”

With that said, she walked out.

*****

Immediately Sara stopped the car at Dr Long’s hospital building’s carpark, she saw that figure again.

The lady who had been a Black but had allowed her go in despite the fact that she knew Sara had some things she was not supposed to have with her.

This time, when Sara looked at the figure again, she was still standing there.

Claded in black from head to toe.

Also had a scarf that was covering her head.

“Hi!” Sara greeted nervously.

She had thought the lady died alongside the other Black members. But she was happy that nothing bad happened to her.

The lady said nothing and began to slowly approach Sara.

Sara thought she looked scary but she surprised her self by remaining calm.

Even though the soldiers were not currently guarding her, she trusted her instincts that things were not going to get out of hand.

“I’m glad you survived” Sara said immediately the lady stood in front of her.

“I wouldn’t have, but Snake made me leave” She confessed with sad eyes.

Suddenly reminding her about Snake and his sacrifice, Sara was downcast.

“You’ve got some nerves. Never would I have thought that allowing you inside would completely ruin the Blacks like that.”

“I cannot say I am sorry, because I am not. I only feel bad for the other innocent beings who Fuji manipulated and died without discovering their real purpose.” Sara explained.

“I didn’t come here to hear a ‘sorry’ from you”

The lady answered back.

“Then…?” Sara quirked a brow.

“I wanted to say a ‘Thank you’ to you”

Her statement took Sara aback.

“Thank you? Why?”

“For opening my eyes to the light. You told me I wasn’t supposed to be slaving away for the Blacks but in a studio instead. I thought about that a lot, and had been thinking of a way to pull myself out.”

“It was the reason I decided not to involve myself when I saw you with those things. Once you went in to meet Medusa, Snake intercepted me with Black Dog— who had probably sniffed something suspicious. I couldn’t help it so I told him all about it.”

“He told me to run very far and never appear there again. He was aware. It was why he could easily escape the building with Fuji and others.”

Sara was surprised by that piece of information. If he was aware, why didn’t he stop her? Why did he allow her go through with the plan?

As if reading her mind, the lady answered.

“We’re all tired of living that way. We all wanted to live a normal life. To do things other humans did without getting blood in our hands.”

“It was the reason everyone easily allowed you inside. No one actually cared if you attacked Medusa or Fuji. We only treasured our lives and from wherever we were, we prayed for you to succeed.”

Sara did not know what to say about that. She only stared at the woman whose entire face was almost completely covered.

“I am living the country. I do not think I can breathe comfortably here.”

“How do you plan to do that when the Military is still probably searching for you all.” Sara asked curiously.

“You..have no idea what snake did for us” Her voice faltered for the first time.

“Even though the world may not accept me, I hope they’ll accept my painting.”

Sara nodded with tear-filled eyes. “We’ll accept it.”

She saw a tiny smile appear on the lady’s face.

“Thank you Sara Wang. I hope we meet again.”

After she left, Sara realised she didn’t even know her name.

“We’ll meet again” She echoed.
