Siren Song - 229 That Is Not How This Goes I + II
‘What am I even trying to do? Drive after every black car that looks like my father’s blindy unti I find the one. What could I even do if I found them? I don’t have anything besides or anyone to help me if needed. She would most likely be hurt if I tried take her forcibly like that by myself.’ Shaking his head, he had to discard the idea of doing what he wanted to most.
‘No I can’t just leave right now. If I embarrass him in front of the Yans by leaving now, it will only guarantee that he would do her harm.’ Grunting in anger Liang JianAmal slammed the car door shut, taking the paperwork away with him. ‘I have to be careful as he has the upper hand right now. That snake will always strikes if he can.’
‘Nothing is ever easy with these two’ . Getting a few more details from the nervous valet, Liang JianAmal made a quick call before putting on a calm front and re-entering the restaurant. As he opened the door the young man behind called to him hesitantly.
“Um sir, what should I do about the lady’s car.”
“Take care of it as you see fit, it does not matter.” ‘I have no more time to waste with you.’
“Um.” The young man tried to speak up but Liang JianAmal ignored him as he headed back to the room.
Re-entering the room he apologized graciously to the Yans and played the part of the dutiful future son-in-law. He was especially considerant of Yan Xiao Dan, pleasing the elders at the table.
Liang JianAmal saw his father give him a few suspicious looks with his change in attitude. Smiling at him Liang JianAmal refused to acknowledge those looks, unperturbed.
After personally seeing Yan Xiao Dan into the back of her vehicle after her parents, Liang JianAmal stood with his father outside as he awaited Chen Bohai. Standing there he noted that Chang’s rental vehicle was gone, whether it had been towed or not he was unsure.
“What are you up to JianAmal?” Seeing his son wearing an easy expression Liang Ju-Long felt his suspicions grow.
“Nothing I am merely working to ease things for the future. Since you believe that we have need for the Yans, which I am not convinced of, would it not be better to have friendly relations with them? As I have said before, I will do things my own way differently from you.” Smiling tightly, Liang JianAmal raised an eyebrow at his father.
“Fine then. Do as you will. I will be heading back to my home, what will you be doing now?” Straightening his jacket Liang Ju-Long looked away from Liang JianAmal’s challenging stare.
“It is about time you realized that.” Seeing Chen Bohai pull up, Liang Ju-Long stepped up and entered the car. “Then I shall not hinder you any longer.. You have done well today.” Rolling fown the window the older spoke his last words, slightly surprising the younger man.
Humming in the back of his throat in agreement, Liang Jian Amal watched his father leave first before entering his own car the valet had brought forward for him.
Sitting in his car, his personal phone started to ring. Pleased Liang Jian Amal answered immediately knowing it was the confirmation he was waiting for.
“Sir it appears as if they took a woman back to your father’s estate in Pudong. I am not sure if this is the one you are looking for though.
“Ah is that so, good work Luo Jun. I will be coming to the company shortly, after paying my father’s house a short visit.” Hanging up he placed the phone back in his pocket.
‘Heh Chen Bohai is a rather slow driver too, this is rather easy, not even a challenge after everything else.’ Smirking Liang JianAmal quickly got into his car and sped off. Vaguely he thought he saw his father’s car as he wove through traffic, but he was moving too fast to tell for sure.
Pulling up into his father’s front courtyard Liang JianAmal alighted from his car quickly and let himself right in. Hearing someone enter, his father’s housekeeper, who had been with him for many years came up surprised.
Seeing that it was him instead instead of his father the old lady gasped in surprise before approaching.

“Ah it is you young master, it has been so long.”
Liang JianAmal held back a dry laugh seeing her nervous demeanor and reluctance to approach. It seems that she still remembers what happened between my father and myself the last time I was here.
“You must have been so busy with taking over the company. You should stay for awhile until your father returns, and have dinner together, it has been too long. It would be good if you two could do that together, it has been many years”
‘Dinner? I think not, lunch was already hardly bearable.’ Knowing she only meant well, he kept his thoughts to himself.
“Indeed I have been very busy. I actually have more to attend to and am in a rush. My father told me that he had a woman brought here not too long ago.”
“Oh yes, the poor thing it looks like she has been through a lot.”
‘Poor thing? What does she mean?’
“Please take me to her, I am supposed to collect her and I do have to be on my way soon.” Looking at his watch Liang JianAmal kept track of the time, he needed to be gone before Liang Ju-Long returned.
“Oh really, well you will have to return again soon. That woman is in the far parlor room.” Wringing her hands the older woman followed him as Liang JianAmal pushed the door open and saw the prone figure laying on the couch. Seeing her condition felt anger arise.
“Why did no one call a doctor for her?”
“I was waiting to ask the master what to do with her.”
“No matter, I will take care of this myself since I am here now.” Gently Liang JianAmal scooped the pale thin woman and started to leave with her.
“Are you sure you should not wait and check with your father first?”
“Most assuredly.” Smiling to himself slightly he began to leave her behind. “Have a good day Ms. Zhou, if my father asks be sure to tell him that I came and collected Miss Dumont from him. Also, please thank him for me.”
“Oh alright, goodbye sir.” Seeing him to the door, the older lady was perplexed and watched as he sped off as quickly as he came. Going back to the show that she was watching before, Zhou Huiling only sat for a few minutes when she heard the sound of the gate opening and the master of the house returning.
“Welcome home sir.” Opening the door for Liang Ju-Long she bowed her head as the man entered. Taking his coat from him she went to go hang it up when he questioned her.
“Where is the woman that was brought here?”
“Excuse me sir? The young master just came and took her, he said that it was by your will. In fact you just missed him, he told me to give you his thanks.”
“What?” Instantly red in the face Liang Ju-Long was shaking and livid. ‘When did he realize that she was here. This is not how things are supposed to go!’
Seeing the anger rising in him, Ms. Zhou took a few steps back in trepidation.
“Should I call the young master up and have him return sir?”
