After Li Zi Yun reached home at night, her house owner called her. He informed her he had sold the house for a good price and he was now no longer the owner. She started sweating. Where can she find a house in such a short notice if the new owner asked her to vacate.
The old owner continued that the new owner had not asked the tenant, which was her to vacate. Li Zi Yun heaved a sigh of relief. She was scared for nothing. Then he informed her that the new owner expected the rent the first of every month. The first of the next month was in two days.
Li Zi Yun couldn't sleep the whole night. Even after her father abandoned her, Li Zi Yun worked part time. So she knew for certain that she would receive money. She was not a big time spender. So she had never been short on money before. She had the essential things in life and she never spent on anything uselessly. So she always had enough for her daily needs. So this situation was new to her.
Li Zi Yun cursed her father. Her life had taken a complete turn after her mother's death. Her father never visited her once in the hospital when she was admitted there after the accident. Only after coming home after a month, she came to know the reason. Her father was married once again and his father had hidden his illegitimate children for so many years and he was wanted to shower his love on his 'new family members'. She had tried hard to come to this position, relying only on herself. But here they were, trying to ruin her again.
Li Zi Yun wanted to take revenge on them for everything they had done to her. But, she had neither power nor means to do that. All that she had towards her family was hatred; she hated her father too who was the cause for all this.
In the morning, Chu Yan's call woke her up. It was Wu Li Shu's birthday, so she sent a text to her wishing her happiness. She called Chu Yan after sending her a text.
Chu Yan yelled "Open the door".
When she opened the door Chu Yan was waiting outside. "Li Zi Yun, why aren't you ready yet?"
As far as Li Zi Yun knew Wu Li Shu's birthday party was in the evening at her place. Why did she have to get ready now?
"Chu Yan, are you drunk, its only morning."
"I called you for shopping yesterday and since you did not come I told you we can go out today. Forgot about that?"
It had completely slipped out of her mind, when she was busy with the other work.
He pushed her to get ready. And they left the house soon. Chu Yan asked her, "Where were you yesterday?"
"I had to take care of something. Where are we going now?"
He just smiled without giving a reply. Li Zi Yun was in her own thoughts so she did not bother asking him again.
"Chu Yan, can you…." she started speaking but she couldn't complete the sentence, can you lend me some money.
"What?" Chu Yan looked at her.
"Nothing…." No she had to find another way.
Chu Yan understood something was bothering her. He looked into her eyes and asked her, "Do you have something to ask me? If so, say it out, I can't read your mind"
"No its nothing" Li Zi Yun looked away. "Li Zi Yun, look at me, if something is bothering you, you can tell it to me. You don't have to go through everything on your own."
She smiled at him. She decided she would ask him if she couldn't do anything by tonight. He asked her to try out the dress she likes. Li Zi Yun refused, and then he called the staffs present there to help her dress up. Only after that Li Zi Yun agreed. She chose a black evening gown, with a perfect fitting which showed her curves.
Chu Yan had never seen her like this and she looked gorgeous in that black dress.
He told her, "Zi Yun, if you wear this to the party, the spot light will definitely be on you and not on Wu Li Shu".
Li Zi Yun replied, "Yes and that is the reason why I don't need this dress"
"No and that is why you have wear this dress. What better day to irritate to Wu Li Shu than on her birthday"
"Chu Yan do you know you are weird"
"Yes I know"
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
Chu Yan dropped her home and said he will pick her up later. Li Zi Yun got ready in the evening. She wore the black dress Chu Yan had got for her and she wore very little makeup. She was waiting for Chu Yan, but he was late. He called and informed her he will be a bit late. So she told him she will come by herself.
Li Zi Yun called for a cab and was waiting outside her apartment for its arrival. When she was waiting she saw an old man collapse at some distance from her. She ran to help the old man since no one else was around him to help him. He was clutching his heart and lying on the ground. He looked a bit like a foreigner and she had never seen the old man in her neighborhood.
Li Zi Yun was about to call the ambulance, when the cab arrived. With the cab drivers help, she took him to the cab and went to hospital. The old man's mobile was with her as they took him to ER. Since the man was taken to ER, she waited outside since there was no one else and she wanted to inform his family before she left the place.
She was getting late to the party. She was not much fond of parties or hospitals. She goes to both only when she has no other choice. She wanted to inform the old man's family but did not know how to contact them. Luckily after some time the old man's phone rang.
She told the person on the opposite side, that the man had fainted and he was currently in hospital. He begged her to stay there till he arrives there. Li Xi couldn't say no and she assured him she will be waiting there and the old man was not in a critical condition. She waited patiently till the man arrived. Chu Yan called her to know her whereabouts. She informed him she would be there soon.
At last the man arrived. Li Zi Yun had been waiting there for an hour. The man was a foreigner and he had come with his assistant. She informed the man about what happened. The doctors came out exactly at that time, and told that the elderly man would have been in danger if Li Zi Yun hadn't brought him here on time.
The man who arrived just now informed her that the elderly man Li Zi Yun admitted in hospital was Mr. Williamson, and he was his son. They were the manufacturers of famous mobile brand in X country. He thanked her for her timely help in saving her father and he said he wanted to do something for her for saving his father. He handed a check for a million dollars. Li Zi Yun couldn't say a word and was shocked..
At last she managed to say, "Sir, thank you but I don't want to accept this. I did not do this expecting something in return and I have a party to return to. So take care of him. Bye"
Li Zi Yun started walking, wanting to leave this place as soon as possible. The assistant chased behind her and shoved the cheque in her hands saying that his master really wanted her to have it. Then he went away quickly before she could reply nor give the cheque back to him.
She stood in the same place for a minute forgetting she was still in the hospital. This cheque meant she could live comfortably for the next few months even without salary. Since it was given to her for something she had done, she thought of accepting the money gratefully. She stood there with a huge smile on her face. Her phone rang and it was Chu Yan waiting for her outside.
When Li Zi Yun got inside the car, she looked very happy which was completely different from her morning mood. And he knew that Li Zi Yun hated visiting hospitals. So he found it odd that she came out smiling from the hospital. They left to Wu Residence where the party was held.
Wang Yu had seen Li Zi Yun suffering the before day and he was in quite a good mood. He arrived to Wu Li Shu's birthday party early along with his fiancée Huang Nian. He did not want to go through the trouble of finding a partner for parties. So he usually called his fiancée out occasionally as his companion for parties. Though Huang Nian knew that Wang Yu had no interest in her, she came out with him whenever he called her and she was always ready to pose with him for the media. Huang Nian did not feel insecure yet because she knew that he had no other women in his life till now. So she did not mind him not being bothered about her.
Wang Yu attended the party only on the insistence of Wu Qing and also he did not wish to stay long with Huang Nian, who mostly followed him around. He knew Li Zi Yun would definitely come here and he was waiting to see her sad face.
Somewhere a young man came to inform the other man seated in the room, "Boss a cheque was given to Miss Li Zi Yun. It was done discreetly and she had no idea"
"Hmm…" the man nodded his head.
