Chapter 358: Hello there
Chapter 358: Hello there
While these nefarious plans were being set in motion, Chi Lian was explaining to her family why she was not interested in staying for the drinks, meet and greet part which followed after the auction.
"What happened, Muyang tell us already." Old madam Jun was so curious that she wanted to throttle him to get the answers out of his closed mouth.
When they returned, Chi-Chi was furious and she said she wanted to leave and yet none of the two had explained the matter accurately as of yet.
"Grandmother, these people set out to deliberately swindle us. The real painting was being handed off to one Yan Feng when we entered the room. And his weird sister did not stop drooling over Muyang like a dog looking at a fatty meat bone. I am so angry; if I stay here any longer I may end up doing something regrettable."
"Daya is here." Old madam Jun said in surprise.
To Chi Lian’s ears, the way the old madam said that name, it sounded suspiciously too familiar on her tongue, for one, she did not use her first name but referred to her only by ’Daya.
Chi Lian glared at Muyang who was holding her hand and staring at her innocently like a lost little lamb.
"Grandmother, do you know that Yan Daya personally?" she asked curiously.
The old madam answered with a small unhappy frown, "Muyang’s father briefly considered making her Muyang’s wife."
Just as she was about to say more, she noticed the scowl on Chi Lian’s face and said quickly, "It wasn’t a real betrothal or proposal, it was just something he casually mentioned to Yan Daya’s father during a business meeting. It never went further than that but she suddenly started coming around to our house to greet us.
She is a nice girl and she even offered to escort me when I went out shopping for groceries. But a few days later there was a rumor going around that she was betrothed to Muyang.
At the time, Muyang was fifteen years old and he was outside the country representing the empire in a mathematics competition. When he returned and heard the rumor he was so furious and he threatened to leave the country permanently if the narrative was not corrected so the Jun Corporation released an official statement saying that all rumors about the betrothal of Muyang were false. No names were mentioned of course to protect the young girl and her family.
The day after the statement was released Daya showed up to our house in tears, she was apologizing for the rumors and explaining that she didn’t start them.
The poor girl was also a victim in all that happened because she didn’t spread the rumors personally. I felt pity for her but I advised her not to return to our house because her presence would fuel the rumors that were just beginning to die down.
She left in tears and that was that, Muyang never even personally met her during that whole time."
Chi Lian understood everything the old madam explained but she could not resist pinching Muyang’s thigh. Who told him to be so good looking that he attracted bees and butterflies everywhere he went?
After pinching him, she smiled at the old madam and said, "Grandma I understand everything but I don’t think that Daya showed up accidentally to your house. I think she has feelings for Muyang, I would prefer it if she does not come around our family.
After everything we went through with the daughter of the Chu family I would rather not allow any random women have access to our lives."
"But Daya is not a bad person Chi-Chi, I have met her about three times before and she strikes me as a genuinely pleasant woman." Muyang’s mother said.
"She is a sweet girl really." The old madam added.
Chi Lian held herselffrom giving a ruthless personal opinion and said, "I have not said that she is not pleasant mother, I am just saying that it would be wise of us to be on the side of caution. How well do you know her? When we walked into the room, the real painting was laid out on the table and those Yan siblings were observing it with a smile. Whether it was a mistake or an intentional move on their part, this tells me that they cannot be trusted because they knew the blessing lotus had been won by someone else so why would they have it?"
Her words silenced the positive opinions of everybody was ready to come to the defense of the empire’s angel Daya.
Old master Jun finally said something after having been silent for the largest part of the night. "Chi-Chi is right, we should be cautious about this. I don’t feel like being here anymore as well, I think I will go home with the children."
"We will also go," mama Chi spoke on behalf of herself and Papa Chi.
Those who wanted to stay could do so and enjoy the night but as for her, she was ready to call it a night, return home and see what was hidden in the video.
There was a small part of her that was also unhappy that Muyang’s mother and grandmother were speaking up for Daya in any way. They were calling her pleasant, nice and good but they did not see what she saw. That Daya’s eyes were burning bright when she was looking at Muyang, it was almost as if she wanted to reach out and grab him but held herself back.
In a way, she reminded her of Miss Chu but the difference in this case was the fact that Miss Chu was an idiot who blatantly declared her love for Muyang to everyone. Yan Daya was more careful and clever, if she had not been in the room and seen that look personally; she would not believe it if somebody claimed she had feelings for Muyang.
"In that case, you should not blame Muyang’s mother and grandmother too much because they have not seen that look. " T4 cleverly added his opinion to her unvoiced thoughts.
In the end, the whole family chose to leave because they arrived as one family and it made little sense to split apart now. Moreover, it was true that they had almost taken home a fake painting, what started out as an exciting night ended in a weird mood.
With the exception of Muyang, the Jun’s were dropped off at their home before the RV parked at home.
The butler was shocked to see them return so soon but he quickly instructed the chef and the maids to heat up some food and serve the family dinner.
"You are back so soon." Chi Rui was watching television downstairs when he heard familiar voices and he came out to see who had arrived.
From behind his back, Rize popped up and she greeted them.
"Oh, princess, we were not made aware that you were coming." Grandma An addressed Rize with a smile on her face.
"We are on a date." Chi Rui answered. "So is older brother but his date is outside not here."
Mama Chi nodded happily because all of her sons were now seriously dating. "Please excuse us, continue your date." She said eagerly.
Chi Lian went down to the basement and Muyang went with her. She wasted no moment in carefully detaching the painting from its frame and finding the small black memory card which was connected to a thread.
"Hello there." She said to the memory card.
