Hello, Mr Li Chapter 170
Advertisement
Sun tapped her fingers on the table lightly as she patiently listened to all Muchen had to say: Why he didn't want to go on the blind date, how he was not going to keep obeying her wishes, how he was old enough to make decisions for himself and how he wouldn't be threatened by her. Most especially, he was not going to let Heya and Sara out of his sight.
"Are you done?" She simply asked when he finally stopped talking. "I asked if you're done?" She asked again when she saw he wasn't saying anything.
"I am done. So I'll leave now" He stood up and gave a full ninety degrees bow.
"She is not good for you" Sun said gently.
"I know you all must think I am a evil witch. But I do everything for the best of my family. Take for example Heya."
She gestured at the seat, signalling for him to sit down since it was time for her to talk.
"You must know how the Jin family are."
Muchen said nothing but patiently listened. "I know you're stopping yourself from taking drastic measures because of Heya. But as a good brother, don't you think you have to punish those who messed with this family?"
"Grandmother I—"
"I...am still talking." She cut him off in a gentle and composed tone.
"He approached Heya with an ulterior motive which I am pretty much sure you are aware of. He helped that crazy little girl from the Liu family when she uploaded the video of Heya and himself on a major blog. He did most of the publicity to make people talk about him and Heya being a couple and all of those annoying trash. I am sure you are aware of that. Guess who told me about your little love game with your sister's coach?" Sun smiled before answering her own question "It was none other than the Liu girl. And you want to know how she knew to tell me first instead of your parents? Heya must have told that boy something about me." She deduced.
She paused to watch his entire reaction. She knew instantly that he was aware of the whole thing.
"So what have you been doing? I want to hear it" She demanded.

He kept quiet guiltily. He had known for a while. When he had gone on that business trip, on his orders, his subordinates had filled him in on everything. He had done his part with the Liu family. They were already at rock bottom and he would make sure they never got up. Thanks to Sara's major contribution.
As for the Jins, they weren't really that wealthy. But they were powerful. He and many others suspected that family had some underground network and dealings. Aside from that, there was every possibility that they were into illegal smuggling of ammunitions. But without clear evidence, no one dared act rashly. It was the very reason he hadn't wanted Heya to be with him. From the onset, he knew they were up to something by sending Cearo.
"Didn't you ask yourself why they didn't go directly to the Songs? At least, there was Yang Aishu there. So why the Lis?"
She opened her arms wide like she usually do and answered. "It's simply because you let your guard down. You can even allow strangers in and out of your apartment as they wished"
"Sara is not a stranger" He knew she was indirectly referring to Sara since she was the only one apart from Ms Long who freely entered inside his apartment.
"Anyone who's not a Li..is a stranger" She corrected.
"I will fix the Jins" He said before trying to get up. He was tired of this back and forth conversation about Sara.
"You can't easily do that. There are more to it than you can see. They may be trying to infiltrate inside this family by having their son and Heya be together. What are you going to do? Heya might not listen to me since she thinks I'm a bad granny"
"I'll tell her about it. She has to keep her guard up." He said. It was the best he could do now. If he tried to wait till he got any evidence on them, he might as well wait for forever.
"You must also remind her to stay away from Jin Cearo's Mother no matter what." She instructed.
Muchen didn't know much about the Jin family or Cearo's mother but he simply nodded."
"Ah.. That reminds me. I'm sure your sister's coach didn't tell you I paid her a little visit."

Sun still refused to address Sara as Muchen's girlfriend or anything else. She was better-off with the coach title.
Muchen's eyes widened. "What? You paid a visit to Sara?" He asked in suprise.
"She's too stubborn. She will control you a lot. Stay away from her" Sun advised.
What? Sara control him? So that was the new thing she came up with for him to stay away from her? He was curious what conversation they had but before he could ask further, he received a text notification so he quickly checked it, thinking it might be work related even though it was Sunday.
"Mr Li. Come pick me up at delight. Today's not a good day 😞"
Seeing this kind of text from Sara sent him up on his feet that instant. She was having a bad day? Oh no!
"I'll leave now." He bowed politely before running out of the apartment into his car.

"Madam Li, she is here" Her maid announced to her. Sun looked at their direction to see a beautiful young lady on a blue shirt and white knee-length skirt. She wore a three-inch black heel and was carrying a white designer hand bag. Her curly black hair flowed down her shoulders to her back and she had a smile plastered on her small pretty face.
"Madam Li" She smiled and bowed politely before she was offered a seat opposite Madam Li in her garden.
"Yan Lilian. How are your parents?" Sun asked with a smile.
"They are both good. They sent their greetings" She smiled also.
After exchanging an unnecessary line of pleasantries, they finally went to business.
"CEO Li left here a couple of minutes back. In fact, you must have missed each other on the way"
"Oh. Is that so? Then, it is a pity. I actually had wanted to meet him."
"Sorry I had to cancel the blind date today. He is really stubborn and doesn't want to obey his grandmother"
Sun was always known to be straightforward. She didn't like beating around the bush just to make someone feel better. She told you as it was.
Disappointment was evident on Lillian's face but she tried to mask it with a smile. "I'm sure he'll come around soon enough"
"You seem to like my grandson. Have you met him before?" Sun asked. She wanted to know whether she was interested in him as a person or the fact that he was 'CEO Li'
"I have actually met him a couple of times in different occasions we both attended. And I do think he is a really nice person."
Sun laughed. "That's right. He really is a nice person. You're a lawyer right?" It was more of a statement than a question. "At 25, your life is almost perfect. From the few experiences you've had as a lawyer, I'll like to ask you a question" Sun said.
"What is it?" Lilian asked with a pleasant smile.
"Let me say... You were given two options: Stay with the man you love while he loses something important to him, or stay away from the man you love while he continues to keep that which is important to him. Which would you choose? I must add this, the man also loves you dearly. So choose wisely" Sun said with a smile.
The smile gradually disappeared from Lillian's face as she pondered on it.
"Because I love him, I'll let him go. If that thing is so important to him, I don't want to hinder him from having it." She answered smoothly.
Sun narrowed her gaze to look at her before raising a cornet of her mouth in a tiny smile.
"Someone might think that action is selfless. But it actually is a selfish one."
She gradually stood up "Say hello to your parents for me... You can lead her out" She said to her maid before walking out of the garden.
Sun tried to imagine the scenerio with Sara and Muchen. She imagined Sara choosing the latter option of staying away from Muchen. What if that wasn't what he wanted? What if she was actually more important than his title as a CEO?
She shook her head to clear her thought. It didn't mean she liked that Sara girl. She only admired her spirit to fight.
