Chapter 382 - Leaving hour daughter once again.

Lifen looked at the woman who had arrived early in the morning. She was expecting for Aunt Rebecca's niece to arrive but never knew that the one who will be arriving will not be only the niece but also the person about whom she has been thinking for the whole night.

She turned to look upstairs at the man, who has confirmed her doubts. "You know her?" she asked, feigning all unawareness of the situation.

Deming nodded and climbed down the stairs. "Of course I know her. She is the client about whom I was talking to you last night." He said and then smiled at the woman.

"Good morning, Mr. Wang! I didn't expect to see you early in the morning. You are here for …?" Xu Ping Ruo asked as he looked between him and the Lifen, trying her best to guess.

Lifen too caught her speculating eyes. She looked at Deming and asked him to explain. Obliging to her orders, the man smiled and said, "I am here living with my beautiful wife"

Then looking at Lifen, he wrapped his arms around her and said, "Bid them farewell. I will go and take my shower". Smiling, Lifen nodded and then turned back to look at the duo.

There was an expression of surprise on the face of Xue Ping Ruo as if she had heard something she had not expected even at her last breath. "Ms. Xue, is there anything? I mean you are looking quite surprised"

Rebecca too looked at her and placing her hands over her shoulder she asked, "Ruoruo, what happened? Are you fine".

Shaking her head in nothing Xue Ping Ruo said, "Haha … it's nothing. I was just surprised a bit, finding Mr. Wang so early in the morning. I mean … I mean I never thought he has a wife and family"

"Ah yes, we have yet to publicize our relationship. So I could only request you to not tell this to anyone yet", saying this Lifen gestured them to take their seats on the sofa.

"Since Ms. Xue is already here this early in the morning. We can have our breakfast together. It will be served soon", Lifen said as she looked at Rebecca.

The woman nodded, "Of course, I can't let this last opportunity slide off. This will be my last breakfast here. I will happily go according to your request". She said and then turned to look at the woman who was sitting beside her, "It will be okay for you Ruoruo? Let's have one last breakfast here"

Xue Ping Ruo smiled as she looked at her aunt's expectant eyes. "Do I have any option, Aunt! I will do anything that will make you happy. So let's have our breakfast here"

"Fine, since it's decided then let me go and ask the chefs to prepare something more special today", Lifen said as she stood up and excused herself to go to the kitchen, leaving the aunt – niece duo alone in the living hall.

"How have you been, Aunty? Have you been alright here?" right when they saw Lifen disappearing in the direction of the kitchen, Xue Ping Ruo turned to ask Rebecca.

Her doe eyes held utmost concern when looked at the woman. "Rebecca turned to look at her too. "Hmm I am fine. You don't have to worry about me but to the work I have given to you. Everything depends on you from hereon"

"I know Aunty. You don't have to worry. I was a little scared at first thinking the man I am going to face will be Wang Deming, whop ways are known to be the peak of torture. But after meeting him I don't find him that tough. So rest assured, everything is in control. But …", Xue Ping Ruo paused, not sure of her own thoughts.

Her eyes trailed upstairs, in the direction where Deming had left a few moments before. Rebecca too followed her gaze but could not understand her meaning. Looking back at her, she asked "But what? Is there any problem?"

"I never knew that he had already married Li Lifen. I thought they were still dating and marriage was not in their plans yet. Especially after the woman was temporarily paralyzed due to the drug effect", She said, disappointment visible in both her eyes and voice.

"Xue Ping Ruo, you better not get distracted from the target", she half yelled, sensing the way toward which her feelings were floating. "You know what are you here for? Get you head right and focus on the goal. I won't tolerate any type of distraction at this moment"

"Yes, Le – aunty! That's not a distraction. I am just not able to understand something that has been in front of our eyes but we are still not able to see it", she said as her eyes once again trailed to look up towards the staircase.

"You are thinking too much about it. Don't create your baseless illusions. Just follow the plan and we will soon achieve the plans we have made", Rebecca said once again reminding the girl about their motives behind coming here.

Xue Ping Ruo nodded in understanding. Her eyes spotted the woman coming back from the kitchen. Sensing her near, she turned to look at her aunt all serious, "Aunty, are you sure? Are you really not going to tell her the truth? What if in the future she comes to know about it? Will you be able to take her resentment?"

Rebecca looked at her niece, not understanding what was going on? But when she caught her eyes gesturing in a particular direction, she understood that the plan was on.

"Ruoruo, it's okay there is nothing to tell. I have seen her living all well and that is enough. She has got a perfect happy life now. Let her live it the way she wants. I have no right to disrupt her life" she said, putting on an expression of heart wrenching pain.

"Disrupt? What are you talking about? Whose life don't you want to disrupt?" Lifen asked as she turned as she came and heard the words they were exchanging with each other.

"Aunty? Are you crying? What happened?", she asked, not understanding what happened around that made the woman have tears in her eyes.

Rebecca did not turn around. She kept her back still towards the front of Lifen. "Ahh! It's nothing, Ms. Li. Aunty has just got emotional about some past things. Nothing serious!" Xue Ping Ruo said while giving light pats on Rebecca's back.

"Oh okay! I won't ask if you are not comfortable to sahare it. I was just a little concerned about Aunty. I hope you don't mind my interruption. If you guys want some personal space then you can go in the room and discuss", Lifen said, not probing much into the matter.

Xue Pin Ruo looked at her and nodded. "Actually I think it would be better if Aunty could take some rest. I think it would be better if we leave. We can always visit you the next time", she said and then pulled out the phone to call the driver to make the car ready.

But at this moment an aged voice came from behind. "Rebecca, are you trying to elope again?"

Lifen was quite taken aback by those words. She turned to look at her grandfather who was standing at the top of the staircase, looking down from there. The other two women were also taken aback. They have not planned something like this in their plan.

Rebecca turned to look at the old man too. Her eyes became a little fierce towards him. She has not expected that the man will go back on his words and may come forward to spoil her plan.

"Grandpa, what are you saying? Aunty is just going back to her own place. This is Xue Ping Ruo, her niece. She has come to take her back", Lifen tried to explain the situation but Li Liaoyuan did not pay any heed to her words.

His eyes remained on the woman as he slowly climbed down the staircase, taking the light support of a walking can. Looking at him at this moment, anyone would be able to feel his helplessness out of old age.

This was not the side of him that was common for people to see. Looking at him like this, Rebecca instantly knew what emotional trick the old man was pulling up, but she had no idea what was up at his sleeves.

"Mr. Li, what are you saying? I am not getting your words. Is there anything wrong?" she asked, composing herself back into her pretense.

"Huh? What are you not getting? Are you still going to play your hide and seek game again? Since you are already here, then just reveal everything. No need to hide it anymore" the way Elder Li presented his words, Rebecca felt that he was planning to reveal her in front of Lifen.

But what he did next was something she had not expected. Her eyes went wide when she heard him saying, "How can you go away, leaving your daughter once again?"
