Chapter 78 - you're not alone

Ru Hao frowned as he watched his little niece working tirelessly.

She supposed to have everything and now she's working as a maid.

He sighed. If only he had come earlier then maybe his brother and sister-in-law would be alive.

The pain and guilt consumed him as he closed his eyes.

He remembers that day when his father told him to go out of the country to seek medical attention.

He never knew why he had to hide him when his brother could move freely without any restrictions.

It was later that he got to know that he's sick and needed medical attention.

He still remembers the tears his brother shed when he was leaving at that time.

He made him promise that he'll come back. But when he did it was too late.

He wanted to build an empire for him. He worked day and night so he could make his brother proud but his brother couldn't even see him before he died.

He clenched his fist. He's going to find that person responsible for their death and when he does he'll make him taste hell on earth.

He knows that their death wasn't an accident. It was definitely planned by someone.

"Boss, don't you want to go and see Young Miss?"

"No. It's not yet time. But I want you to give her a card. In case she needs anything. She must call us."

He said softly as he looked at her.

"Ok boss."

******

Ru Shi frowned as she wiped the sweat from her face. She has always hated the hot weather

Suddenly someone stretched a handkerchief to her.

She looked up as she saw grandpa Feng holding out a handkerchief to her.

"Little Ru, it seems you still forget to carry an extra handkerchief in the hot weather."

"Grandpa Feng, you what are you doing here?"

Ru Shi asked embarrassingly from the day she chased out Mu Chang at the masquerade ball she hasn't seen or called him again.

She felt a little awkward.

"That... are you here to buy something grandpa?"

He sighed when he saw the awkward look on her face.

"Are you still angry about what happened with Feng Lu?"

He asked as he looked into her eyes trying to see her reaction.

"No, I'm not. Thankfully nothing happened or..."

Ru Shi trailed off as she said.

"Hmm, I know. I hope you can forgive him. His mother has pampered him so much making him like that. He's not a bad person."

He said as he patted her shoulder.

"So are you now together with that Li guy?"

Ru Shi stiffened when she heard him. Putting on her fake smile, she nodded.

"Well,"

Grandpa Feng realized she didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't force her.

"I bought you this, you always liked cakes so I thought about you when I saw it."

Grandpa Feng put the cake box on the counter as he said.

"You know if you need anything just call me okay?"

Ru Shi softened when she heard him.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Grandpa Feng smiled

"Well, I'll leave you to work. See you later

He said as he turned to leave.

The moment he left the shop, a man entered.

He walked towards Ru Shi.

"Miss Ru?"

Ru Shi looked at the man suspiciously.

Since the last incident, she is very careful with strangers.

"Yes, how may I help you?"

Zhu wen looked at the young Miss and smile

"My name is Zhu Wen. I'm not a dangerous person don't worry. I used to be your father's friend unfortunately I travelled and when I came back I heard the tragic thing that happened.

I'm very sorry."

Ru Shi looked at him for a moment as she frowned. She doesn't remember her father having a friend called Zhu Wen.

When Zhu Wen saw the doubt on her face he quickly explained.

"Your father once saved my life so I owe him. Since I can't repay him personally so I want to help you as a form of payment."

He removed a card from his pocket as he places it on the counter.

"Here's my card. If you need anything or any help I have the connections so don't hesitate to call me.

Your father must be proud of how well you've been able to take care of yourself."

"Ok thank you."

Zhu Wen smiled softly

"Well just know that you're not alone. There's always someone beside you."

Ru Shi frowned when she heard him.

What does he mean? Before she could ask him.

He was already at the entrance leaving.

*****

Mu Chang frowned as he looked at his computer.

After thinking about it yesterday, he realized how stupid he has been.

Maybe if he hadn't let his fears get the best of him and had told her the truth then all of this wouldn't have happened.

Now he needs a plan on how to get her back.

He Googled on how to get your girl back.

He felt a headache as he looked at all the answers.

Why is it soo hard!!

Liang Shao who had been knocking for a few minutes decided to come in because he wasn't responding.

When he entered he saw Mu Chang frowning as he looks on his computer

"You what are you doing?"

Mu Chang absentmindedly replied to him.

"I'm searching for How to get your girlfriend back on Google.."

He paused when he suddenly realized that he has spilt it out.

"You know you can just send her a text message right? Or call her right?"

Liang Shao said as he shook his head.

"But she said she needed space."

Mu Chang sighed as he said.

"Dude, that literally means I want you to chase me so I can know you still love me

So you have to chase her and make her feel wanted not to leave her alone."

Liang Shao chuckled as he said.

"Women are weird, the more space you give, the more she'll think that you don't love her. Even though she asked for it."

Mu Chang looked at him as he said.

"Are you sure?"

Liang Shao shook his head as he said

"The meeting starts in an hour. Don't be late."
