Hello Mr Li - Chapter 327
Once it was time, everyone knew where they were supposed to be.
In fact, the first person to leave his office was Li Muchen.
He went straight to his Father’s house to literally carry his wife along with him and just as he had expected, it was not an easy fight, because his father refused to let Sara go with him and said Sara was to go with him instead.
Thank God for his mother who intervened and allowed him go with his wife.
What kind of father is that? He had been asking himself that particular question ever since they got married.
When he asked about Heya, he was informed that she had gone on a date with Zhu Liang but would join them over there.
Apparently, the Zhus and Lis knew now that something was breeding between their kids and they were eager to watch the flame ignite.
Minde also quickly wrapped up what he was doing at Li-Tech, and went over to pull the workaholic Eva with him.
They all almost arrived in front of DELIMEAL at the same time.
Sara’s jaw dropped when she saw how beautiful and magnificent the building looked. She had been there before, but then the renovation had not been completed. Seeing the place now, she was amazed!
Reporters were all over the place, including some government officials who had come to witness the building’s commissioning.
As Sara watched her parents laughing while chatting with some people, a smile appeared on her face.
“Oh Sweetheart come over here!” Changyu used a hand to signal for Muchen and Sara to come closer.
After they exchanged pleasantries, Sara was introduced to the people they had been speaking with. They were both prominent politicians in the Country and she had even heard that the President was on his way there.
She still could not get used to the kind of influence her mother had.
Soon, everyone was complete. The reporters kept flashing their camera lights eagerly while some rapidly moved their fingers on their MacBooks and Laptops as they tried not to let go of any information.
Sara also saw her Aunt, Song Ling and cousin Yang Aishu.
Ling greeted her with a smile but her daughter still looked embarrassed whenever she saw her.
Sara did have a good impression of Song Ling from the first day they met and that was at the entrance of Delight.
That day, her daughter had asked them to throw her out because she was not dressed ‘properly’ but Song Ling had asked them to let her in.
Life was really unpredictable.
Once the ribbon was cut, everyone clapped and cheered happily while Changyu wrapped her hands around Jianjun in a hug with a bug smile on her face, which elicited a lot of “Awwws” from the crowd.
Jianjun was a very shy person so he quickly buried his face on her neck and tried his best not to look at anyone.
“Your parents are adorable”
Heya whispered to Sara as people began to go inside the now opened restaurant.
“We’re more adorable” Liang took Heya’s hand possessively and led her inside the restaurant.
“Doesn’t seem like a bad guy” Sara said to Muchen about Liang.
Muchen did not know what to say so he only shrugged his shoulders before leading her inside.
But he did not forget to send a dark glare to Hoy’s direction.
He was never ever going to forgive that little Devil.
Hoy looked at each pair with a frown on his face. He also saw Yang Aishu and remembered the dreadful date he had with her.
It was probably the right time to have a partner also right? Even his umserious brother had a serious date. What was he waiting for?
Twenty-one isn’t too young right?
He made a mental note of his plans before the year runs out. And that was going to be at the top of his bucket list.
“The kids are always so eager to explore” Jaime said with a laugh as he watched Reen and Joreen take hurried steps inside with their hands locked together.
But when he turned to look at Cixi, she had a solemn look on her face with her gaze solely focused on the building.
“Are you okay?” He asked as he took her hand in his.
She finally moved her eyes from the building to look at their hands and then, to look at his face before she managed to nod.
“I…guess..”
“Everything is going to be fine. You know that right?” He could guess what she was thinking since Cixi had briefed him about all he needed to know about her family.
Cixi thought about it for a while before nodding. But as much as she tried to control it, she could not and tears began to fall from her eyes.
As Jaime quickly wrapped his hands around her in a hug, she began to speak.
“I’m… I’m just so happy about this.”
She could not exactly describe how she felt.
Thanks to Changyu, even though her parents were dead, the case was reopened after Mr Park’s confession. And fortunately, the Song elders did not bother to deny any of it and so her father’s name was cleared and they were proven innocent.
And after twenty-five years, they were bringing back their parents honour. This, was their New DELIFOOD.
This was DELIMEAL. And she was certain that history would not repeat itself.
Because even ‘history’ was scared of Wang Changyu.
*********
“I won’t lie to you. I cannot join you both to see them.” Jianjun had said to Changyu and Sara after Sara tried to convince them about going to visit the Song elders in prison.
Even though she knew nothing about them and knew they were bad people, they were still family. And so she had pleaded with Changyu to go see her parents.
They may call Changyu ruthless, but she was actually a very soft woman who cried easily and felt bad about how she had treated her parents. Sara could clearly see it.
When the door opened, Sara finally saw them.
Madam Song was in her mid-sixties while Elder Song was in his Seventies but right now, they both looked ten years older.
Madam Song was the first to breakdown in tears when she saw her daughter had come to visit with their granddaughter.
She used a hand to cover her mouth and began to sob.
Now, she realised why it was bad to do bad to others.
She regretted everything she did.
She regretted being a party to everything.
“You…are Sara right?” Elder Song asked with his eyes in a squint.
When Changyu saw her parents looking so pathetic, her eyes began to water so she quickly stood up and excused herself.
“I am really sorry for everything.” Elder Song began to cry before kneeling in front of Sara who was now standin beside them even though it was against the rules. But there was always and exception when it came to Changyu.
“No..no..no..” Sara tried to stop him from kneeling but he refused and continued to cry.
All she could do was to kneel down also.
And as she watched them cry, she began to cry also.
