Chapter 709 No One There

Chapter 709 No One There　　Sora looked conflicted once she hung up the phone. She looked at the bustling shooting set and took a deep breath before going over to Amiah's side. 

"Cut!" shouted Amiah. "You both... this is already the third time. Why are you not able to get the right emotions?"

Before she could continue, Sora announced from the side, "Let's take a break for ten minutes."

Amiah looked at Sora and raised her brow inquisitively. Sora held her wrist and pulled her up, "You come with me. I have something to say to you."

Amiah followed her silently and asked impatiently, "What is it? Don't you know I want to finish this shoot as soon as possible? The weather is already very hot."

"Shut up," said Sora. "And give me a chance to speak."

Amiah turned silent and nodded her head.

"Hyson took a break," said Sora.

"I know that already," replied Amiah. "His manager already told me. Although it's very unprofessional and irresponsible that he ran off like that, I can't say anything since he said it's a family emergency."

"I just called him," told Sora surprising Amiah a little. 

"And?"

"And I asked him about this. He didn't tell me what really happened but..."

"But?"

"He said his sister needs him right now, so I believe something happened to his sister."

"Does he have a sister?" questioned Amiah.

"Are you forgetting something?" asked Sora. "Last time, who came to seek justice for him?"

Amiah suddenly recalled Raelle's face and her face turned ugly. How could she forget that woman? But wasn't she like Hyson's best friend or something? However, she did remember what Hyson had told her about his relationship with Raelle as well.

"So?" she asked.

Sora knocked on her head, "Are you an idiot? Can't you understand it? No matter what happened between you and Raelle Xiang, she is still your brother's wife. Why do you seem to forget that?"

"How can I forget that?" retorted Amiah. "I wish I could forget that she is my brother's wife."

"Stop being so sour," said Sora. "Think about it with a clear mind. If something has happened to her, then it affects your brother's life as well. How can you not care about that? I already don't understand why you have to hate your father but what's up with being so indifferent towards your own brother? He has always been standing up for you, doing his best to protect you as well. But is this how you're gonna stay indifferent knowing that he is going through a difficult time?"

"What do you want me to do?" asked Amiah.

"Go to them," said Sora like she was talking to a fool. "And don't ask why. I don't want to question myself all over again why I'm friend with a fool like you."

"Who are you calling a fool?" retorted Amiah.

"Who else deserves the honor of this title except you?" Sora shot back at her. 

Amiah obviously looked unhappy but she couldn't do anything to Sora. She thought about what she said and eventually nodded her head, "Okay. I'll go."

....

Using her fingerprint to open the door, Mu Chenyan stepped inside the door. She wasn't planning on coming home tonight. She didn't think she was done with that Ruan Meilin. But she had to come once a drop of blood stained her shirt. 

Yes, she didn't like that glaring stain on her shirt. 

She had to take a shower and clean up before she'd feel alright. Or else, she'll continue to feel dirty. What if that delusional disease was contagious? She definitely didn't want to get that disease from Ruan Meilin. 

"Miss Mu, you're back," said the help who was coming down the stairs. "Dinner is almost ready."

"I'll clean up first," said Mu Chenyan. "Where is everybody?" she asked. "How is Elder Xiang? Is he resting in his room? Did he take his medicine? What about his leg massage? Did he eat his lunch?"

The help listened to her bombardment of questions patiently and only when she was done did she answer, "Elder Xiang had lunch and we gave him his medicine as well. His leg massage was also taken care of. You don't have to worry at all. He had been resting all this while, we just called him out for dinner."

Mu Chenyan nodded her head, "What about Elle? Did you send her the meal according to my instructions?"

"Yes," replied the help. "Everything was prepared according to your instructions."

"And she finished it all?"

"I heard that Mr. Shui helped her in finishing everything but he made sure she had her fill."

Mu Chenyan nodded again, "Right, I shouldn't worry so much with Xian around her."

"Yes, Miss Mu shouldn't be so worried when Mr. Shui is around Missy."

"Okay, you can do your work," said Mu Chenyan as she ran upstairs. She went straight to her room and took a bath. She changed her clothes and threw the ones she took off in the trash bin. She was definitely never gonna wear it again.

Drying her hair, she came outside and ran into Xiang Wai. 

"Aunt, you're back?"

"Hmm..." Mu Chenyan hummed in response. "What are you doing? Isn't it time for dinner?"

"I was just resting in my room," replied Xiang Wai. "Now, I'm going down for dinner."

"Then let's go together," said Mu Chenyan and Xiang Wai happily agreed.

As Xiang Wai seemed to have a lot to ask Mu Chennyan, she kept asking enthusiastically while Mu Chenyan kept answering patiently. She didn't mind the chattering of Xiang Wai, it was much better than the deadly silence that surrounded Raelle.

She had come downstairs when she ran into Xiang Hulin. Mu Chenyan stopped in her track. Seeing how she wasn't moving, Xiang Wai asked, "What's wrong, aunt?"

Mu Chenyan pointed at Xiang Hulin, "Is he real?"

Xiang Wai followed the direction of her finger and found her father. Then she looked at how shocked Mu Chenyan looked and found it funny. She teased her, "Who are you talking about, aunt? There is no one there."
