Dana and Fazhan still couldn't stomach the fact that their only son was in love with their daughter's coach and worse of all, it was the same Sara who was recently in a scandal. But they knew it wasn't time to talk. No one dared speak when Li Sun spoke. It was why they feared for their son's future since he had been countering her.

They only hoped Muchen would deny the allegation. Why would someone like him fall for someone like Sara? It if was a fling, they wouldn't be so concerned, even though he wasn't supposed to have a fling with someone like her either. They patiently waited for him to deny it. But to their surprise and shock, they heard him say

"Yes. It was my fault. I did fall for her even against her wish. So leave Sara out of this." He spoke in anger and determination.

"Sure" Sun said instantly. Not minding the surprised look on all their faces. Heya, Hoy and Minde had a clue about it but were still surprised he had actually opened up in front of their grandmother. His parents on the other hand, almost literally died of a heart attack when he admitted it.

"She can stay. Heya can stay also." Sun smiled. "Settled now?"

They all knew something else was coming and impatiently waited for it.

"I told you all I came to fix things. I came to fix You, you, you, you" She pointed at the younger generation seated around the table. She started with Minde.

"Minde, you'll have to start working in the company from now on. And you'll start from the bottom and gradually find your way to the top. If you have any objection, then I'll make sure you get enlisted in the army— So, any objection?"

Minde shook his head. He didn't want that. What? Wearing ties and suits for five days a week and spending hours in the office instead of partying or car racing?

He looked at Muchen for support. But Muchen gave him the "You just have to obey" look.

Minde still tried to say something. He was a man after all. "Grand...grandmother.. I.. I know.. I'm not supposed to...say anythin—"

"Then shut up" Sun cut Minde off abruptly. Then she looked at Hoy's direction.

"Hoy is going to be engaged with the Song family's granddaughter Yang Aishu. You have a date with her this Sunday" She declared.

Hoy said nothing and only stared expressionlessly at her. They were all used to this woman dictating their lives so it wasn't something new or unexpected.

When she noticed Hoy wasn't saying anything or planning to say something, she looked towards Heya again.

"Heya my darling. I see you've been having fun with the Jin boy. He is not good for you. I'll find you a suitable groom soon. So hurry up with cutting down weight."

Heya's fists tightened underneath the table but she kept a straight face. She looked at her parents to see whether they were making any effort to object, but they both remained quiet. Same with Minde's parents.

A groom for her? Impossible! She was going to school immediately she was done with her weight-losing journey.

"And.. I don't want to make a big deal about the commotion you caused singing in public. We'll have a private talk about all of that" Sun assured.

.

Heya's muscles tightened. She was fed up with this family. Totally fed up! She just didn't want to cause any trouble right now. Else, they may likely blame it on Sara's bad influence or ask her to leave Muchen's place.

She looked at Muchen to see he was giving her a reassuring look. She trusted him. She knew that no matter what, he would be able to defend them properly.

When they thought she had gone too far already, she looked towards Muchen.

"And to our dear CEO Li Muchen...." She paused for a while to make sure his eyes met hers. "I'll grant your wish of keeping the Sara girl as Heya's coach" She gave a signal to her maid who moved over to where Muchen was sitting and placed a large envelope in front of him.

"Your blind date is in two days also. You don't want to miss it. It's time you get married" She said with a radiating smile on.

No one had anticipated it. Sara looked at Joreen's direction to see her head was down. Probably suppressing her tears. Sara clenched her fists, even her eyes turned red. She was about to get up when she felt Cixi's hand on her arm.

Cixi had the same expression as Sara but she looked a bit calm. On her face, the pain and anger was obvious. Someone had messed with their family.

Joreen had not even made the top three in all awards for her grade. Which was impossible. Totally impossible!

The award ceremony was still on but their mind was no longer there. Sara ignored her aunt and the eyes looking at her.

With her angry strides, it didn't take long before she got to where Joreen was seated. It was quite challenging since she had to go through a few seats in the second row before getting to Joreen.

Joreen's graduation hat helped cover most of her face so she didn't see Sara coming towards her.

"Jo.." Sara tapped her shoulder gently and tried to crouched in front of her but the chair behind her couldn't let her so she only succeeded in bending a little.

When Joreen saw Sara, It was as if a needle suddenly pierced a full-blown balloon. The tears came crashing "I....I don't... know...what happened.. I.." Joreen wrapped her tiny arms around Sara's neck as she continued sobbing quietly. "I sw...ear...I did...I.. did...my best sis"

When Cixi saw her little girl's tears and action from where she was sitting, she closed her eyes in pain and tried to steady her breath. It was the very reason why she hadn't want to go there and also why she didn't want Sara to go there. She knew the instant they got to her, she could breakdown. She didn't want those losers seeing her baby's tears.

Jianjun covered her hand with his to let her calm down.

She slowly opened her eyes and said in a whisper "I'll kill the bastard who messed with my baby"

Jianjun saw her angry eyes. It was this exact trait that Sara inherited from her. Both of them were very similar when angry. "Cixi..."

She didn't wait for him to finish before she stood up and marched to where Joreen and Sara was. "Jo, let's leave here" She said before extending a hand to her.

Joreen stood up and took her mother's hand.

Sara's eyes dimmed when she looked at the school principal who was busy taking photos with the awardees, a bright smile on his face. 'You've messed with the wrong family'
