Redeeming The Golden Ticket To Life - Chapter 50: Hu Family's Love For Bai Chang

[POV Bai Chang]

-Inside Hu Residency Study Room-

Father Hu is walking across the room. His gait is steady but hurried. Occasionally he will spare a look to Qiang but immediately after his veins on his forehead would throb visibly.

(He surely seems upset with Qiang.)

While Mother Hu is sitting on an armchair. She frowned, as her sight oscillated from Qiang to Father Hu and back to Qiang.

To and fro.

The atmosphere in the study room is stifling because of the tension, that’s in the air.

I take a deep breath in,

“Father, mother; I need to speak with you, alone …”

I looked towards Qiang, and am about to explain to him, when he speaks up, “I will go and look after Xiao Wei tonight.”

After saying so, he leaves.

Father Hu raised his left eyebrow, as he witnesses this.

“Father, pardon my manners, as I wanted to speak to both of you in private.”

“No problem with it. Do not mind him. You speak your mind. You can speak anything here.” Mother Hu replied instead.

I take out a micro jammer from my dress and activate it. The signals around 100m of the study room go dark.

I see both of them taken aback by my actions.

I still set up basic wireless signal security in the study room and finally turn towards surprised Mr and Mrs Hu.

“Mother, father; please excuse me for my actions but it is necessary for our family safety.” I attempt to explain it to them.

Listening to me, they turn serious.

“Mother do you have anything related to my parents with you?”

“I have some stuff that your parents specifically left for you.” Mother Hu replied.

“May I see them?” I asked.

“Yeah sure,” she replied.

“Are they on this property?” I asked them in concern.

“They are inside this very room.” This time Father Hu said.

“Mother, Father; I apologise that I can’t reveal much at this point, but please know that we are under constant surveillance and the Hu family is in danger. The reason for this may very closely be related to my parents’ last work.

At this point, I am not too clear about the surrounding circumstances, but I know that they haven’t given up on us yet. They are trying the Hu family because of me. I am to be blamed for the imminent danger, the family is in.

I am looking into the matter, and I promise I will get to the roots of all this and destroy those who pose a threat to us.”

They hold their silence as they try to digest all that I said.

Finally Father Hu speaks, “Do you need assistance? Do not shy away from us. We are your parents; we have raised you as our own all this time and in the face of threat will not back down.”

“Yes dear, do not carry all the baggage by yourself; we are always there for you. As you are a part of our family and no one slides by after threatening our family.” Mother Hu holds me in her arms as she speaks, trying to calm me.

They bring out a hard paper box, roughly the dimension of an office crate. From the looks of it, seems that the Hu family never opened it, honouring Bai Chang’s parents wish, to pass it to their daughter untouched.

I look at it but didn’t rush to open it.

I turned towards them and said, “Mother, Father; please do not blame Qiang, he is only doing what I asked of him? I haven’t revealed anything to him yet; I am first putting around a believable cover story to divert all the attention from the Hu Corporations. I do like him and I like to take initiative in our relation to fell a sense of security and Qiang has really provided me with a lot of time to contemplate the future with him, so I took steps as I did to show my appreciation for his patience all this time.

As I have no recollection of our relationship before the accident, I would like to build our relationship on my own terms. We will become a real couple than a legal couple.”

I tried to explain my train of thoughts to them as clearly as I could.

I don’t know the consequences, but I am ready to bear them in future.

Mother Hu hugs me tightly as she speaks into my ears, “Silly girl, you do whatever you want to do. Know that we are always behind you to support you all the way.”

I look towards Father Hu to know his take; I only get to see him approve of Mother Hu’s words.

He walks towards me and pats me on my head.

I am once again overwhelmed by their love towards me and the deep-rooted emotions they hold towards me.
