Hello, Mr Li Chapter 236
Advertisement
Even after they all stopped singing, Sun's hands were still covering her face as she cried.
"Grandmother. Are you okay?" Muchen asked her softly.
He saw her bob her head up and down before sniffing.
Her maid quickly handed her a handkerchief to wipe off the tears on her face.
She understood better than anyone how Sun felt because she was also crying.
For years, the poor woman was neglected. Her birthdays had been like every other day. She did irrelevant things and that was it.
But this year, today, they suddenly remembered her. She hadn't thought she would ever see anything like this before she died.
Sun tried to smile as she cleaned her face. She couldn't believe she had lost her cool just like that and cried in front of everyone.
"I know you blockheads would never think about throwing me a birthday party. Whose idea was this?" She asked her family that were gathered around her.
They all looked at Muchen but he shook his head.
Sara had mentioned to him that she didn't want him to tell them it was her idea. Because truthfully, she hadn't been the one to organise the party for her.
She had only asked Muchen the last time he gave her a gift or paid her a visit and he had simply planned her birthday party for her even though he hadn't been around.
Muchen turned to look at the stage and smiled warmly at Sara. Because of her, his grandmother was happy. Never in his life would he have imagined doing this for her if Sara hadn't mentioned it.
Madam Li looked at Mucjen and then at Sara who was smiling at her from the stage. "It was obviously that girl. Was she doing this to please me?" Sun muttered to Muchen.
"Happy birthday grandmother." Heya said to Sun for the second time when she joined them.
Sun smiled at her before pulling her into a hug. "That was a wonderful performance my darling. You look stunning and you have a really pretty voice"
It took Heya a couple of seconds before she was able to digest what Sun had just said. Did she just say her voice was pretty and her performance was wonderful? Did she also say she looked stunning?

That was three compliments at a go!
It was the first time Sun was complimenting her. Also the first time Sun started a conversation with her without mentioning her body size first.
"Thank you grandmother. I'm glad you liked it" The other family members also looked at Heya with pride. None of them had expected it.
The one who had planned it with her and asked her to do it was none other than Sara.
A lot of Sun's distant relatives whom she had lost touch with for a really long time came over to wish her a happy birthday. They didn't forget to add that they envied her for having a wonderful family who took time to throw her a surprise birthday party.
Sara watched it all with a smile. It was nice to see Sun look so happy. She knew it. Sun wasn't as scary as they thought. She was only lonely.
She looked at the smile on her face. It was the first time seeing her smile genuinely. The Li family thought so too.
"And now, we'll call the celebrant to give us a speech. Ladies and Gentlemen... Join me make welcome Madam Li Sun" With a smile, Sara introduced boldly and heard the people clap as Sun stood up.
Although everyone could see that Sara was smiling, Sun noticed she looked very tensed when she joined her on stage and saw her from up close.
Madam Li looked at her intently before using the mic.
"I am Li Sun." She paused to look at everyone there. Never in her life would she have expected to see all of them in a place specifically for her.
"I do not have much to say. But to everyone here.. I am really grateful for your presence. And to my family....." Her voice began to shake as she continued. "I love you all. I just want you to know that."
After Sun was done with her little appreciation speech, she went back to sit down and watched every member of the family give theirs.
Most of them— especially her grandchildren didn't have much to say about her but she appreciated it. She could not remember the last time she cried so much.
It didn't just end there, they had set up a foundation in her name. And every guest present there had made heavy donations in support of it. She guessed they had been informed earlier to make such preparations.

How did they plan all of these without her knowing?
When it got to the last person to make her donation, Changyu had simply asked them to sum up the financial donations each guest had made and to give her the total summation. She was going to give them the exact figure including a land where the building would be situated.
She didn't disappoint. Everyone knew she was wealthy but most of them were still surprised.
Sara's eyes bulged out when she heard Changyu. A total of everyone's financial contribution? Only one person had donated millions of dollars!
So they were supposed to add up all the millions and thousands of dollars and she was going to pay it all as her own part of the donation?
So if for example, the summation of the other guests was about a million dollars, Changyu's donation was going to be a million dollars which meant the foundation had two million dollars.
Just wow!
Changyu smiled at Sara. She was actually doing this for her. With this type of donation, no one would look down on Sara since she had earlier introduced her as her friend.
Her donation got the attention of the greedy people present there.
They decided to make a move to bring her to their side before it got late. They knew it was nearly impossible to see Changyu again since only the Mos and Lis had the privilege of inviting her to their parties. Speaking of the Mos, people wondered why they weren't invited to this party.
**
Sun was surprised to see that there was also a gift presentation session. She had thought the foundation was all but there had also prepared gifts for her?
This was her first time having a birthday party and so she didn't know much about how any of these worked. Even as a child, she never celebrated her birthdays.
She watched how people dropped expensive jade beads, jewelries, property documents, paintings etc. She was beginning to feel that most of them were trying to suck up to her instead of offering her a sincere birthday gift.
When they were almost done, she looked at someone who hadn't dropped anything yet. "Why aren't you giving me anything?" She complained.
Sara looked at her and then at everyone who were looking intently at her.
Her hands were behind her back as if she was hiding something there.
Of course, she was hiding a box with the scarf she had bought inside.
She had a second thought after she saw other people's gifts. Hers had only cost a couple of hundred dollars and she had thought they were expensive but here, people were giving out millions of dollars without flinching.
Muchen raised a brow at her. He seemed to guess what was up with her but he said nothing.
He felt bad that she was getting embarrassed but on the brighter side, Sun was actually asking her for a birthday present! That was a good thing right?
Sara revealed the box to everyone. Although it was small, it was the biggest box that had been presented to her. Everyone became curious about what was inside.
Sun was surprised to see Sara had really brought her a birthday gift. She opened the box and found a scarf inside.
Most people there began to snicker as Sun raised her head to look at Sara and then, down at the scarf again.
"You don't like it?" Muchen asked her as if he was daring Sun to actually embarrass Sara.
Sun smirked at him before carefully covering the box. "It perfectly suits the weather."
Fazhan, Heya, Hoy, Minde and even Changyu sighed in relief. They had thought she was going to cause problems now but it seemed Sun was in a good mood today.
"That's very thoughtful of you. You're really nice" Fazhan said to her.
Sara's cheeks reddened in embarrassment. Maybe the others had no idea what he was doing, but she on the other hand, knew exactly what he was doing. He was teasing her!
Father and son were both similar.
Muchen looked at his father and then at her, wondering what was suddenly up with the both of them.
The guests were actually amazed ny the favt that Sun had really asked a nobody like Sara for a gift and had accepted that cheap scarf? Who exactly was Sara Wang?

"You know I can read your thoughts right?" He asked me smirking. He licked the part on my neck where his bite mark was, causing me to jump. A shiver ran through my body, and I moaned out loud, shocking myself. He chuckled as my eyes widened and he kissed my neck, biting it a little. "You're so...submissive when I touch you, but I guess you can't help it huh?" He asked, whispering against my ear. "This is what happens when I drink your blood...it feels so good right?"He turned my head slightly and pressed his lips against mine, "If you want to live...You and I will have to become one...I'd be giving you a share of my neverending life-span, and so basically, you'll be mine.""Forever."
