100 Telling Anna's family - Part 5

Sunday, continued ...

"As I said on Tuesday, you have made the biggest mistake of your life, and I want no part of it.You are not the daughter that I raised.You are lying about Lu Jinhu and are simply trying to excuse your behaviour through slandering his reputation.He treated you as a man should treat his wife."

Hou Yi looked at Anna, who simply burst into tears.The tears immediately prompted the bodyguards to react, and circle Anna.

Hou Yi, looked at his mother-in-law, with a look to total disgust that she could say that to her own daughter.

"While you are entitled to your opinion, Mrs Jones do not speak to my wife like that ever again.Presently our bodyguards are being polite, as the next time you upset my wife I do not think they will simply stop at surrounding us.You will likely find yourself dragged away from your daughter or something even more.You need to apologise to her for upsetting her.

"My wife has made her own decision, and the more polite way to have responded, which I would have respected was that you could have told her you disagreed with her actions, but you will accept it as it was her choice.Calling her a liar, and support the man who has abused your daughter to her is unacceptable.It tells your daughter, my wife, you do not believe that she has been abused.No woman deserves being told that to her face.For my wife's well-being we need to leave now.Mrs Jones you need to decide do you want a relationship with your daughter or not."

Anna's brothers James, Ben, Adam, her sister Susan, sister-in-law Rosemary and brother-in-law Wayne all stood up, with Wayne grabbing his daughters Pippa and Hannah, who has simply been watching what was going on.

Susan, spoke up "Mum, Dad.I think it is better if we leave you two here to finish your meal.We are going to say goodbye to Hou Yi and Anna and going home.None of us can believe what you just said.You need to think about it or you could force us all to make a choice, which we do not think you will end up liking."

"You would not choose them over me" screamed Meredith.With that the four of the bodyguards escorted Anna out of the restaurant and Hou Yi went and paid the bill and followed Anna out with the remaining bodyguard.

"Mum shut up now, or we will make that choice now.Keep, your opinions to yourself.We are leaving, and I think that most of us will not talk to you for a little bit of time, until you calm down," responded Adam.

James followed on "Mum, I am going to stay with Susan, Wayne and the kids for a few days.I will come and collect it belongings, because if I stay at the moment I am likely to say the wrong thing to you."

With that James, Ben, Adam, Rosemary, Susan, Wayne and the children left the restaurant leaving Stan and Meredith Jones alone.They all knew that Meredith was angry as she did not have them agree with her

Outside, they found Anna balling her eyes out in Hou Yi's arms surrounded by bodyguards.Susan and Rosemary came running towards them, and once the bodyguards realised that they were not a threat, let them in.

Hou Yi let them take Anna in their arms with Susan saying "Sis, do not worry about her.You just need to be happy.Call me later and leave a message on my phone that you are OK.I would stay, but I need to get home and change for work.James also needs to get ready for his placement shift.Guess who gets to be his supervisor, his big, pain in the neck sister, and he better not think he going to get away with anything."

This drew a little laugh from Anna, which made Susan comfortable leaving with Wayne, Pippa, Hannah and James.Rosemary looked to Adam, who called out "Spend the time you need with her.Just call me and let me know where to pick you up from, if that it OK with Anna and Hou Yi."

"It is fine with us," said Hou Yi, and with that Adam and Ben also left.

Hou Yi turned to Rosemary "We have a couple of hours left, before we have to go to the airport.What can we do to help cheer her up?"
