[POV Bai Chang]
The car came to a stop; I was awakened from my reveries. Li Jie stepped down and opens the car doors for me; so very gentlemanly.
I stepped out and looked around me, we were in a private Upstate Residency Area, where it just has a few Villas and only endless natures beauty, this place is guarded on its north with small mountains and there are few water bodies like small lakes and ponds; the vegetation gives the air a taste of wood and green leaves.
Even before entering the place, I seem to like this place, so far so good, we entered the villa through a wrought iron gate, it has a medieval design looking straight out of mediaeval European movies, there are large lush green lawns, a very obscure orchard and quaint Neo-European style house with the outside having concrete and stones placed in strange harmony, from looks you would know, the architect inputted his ideas while taking inspiration from the location itself.
It's beautiful. I felt it was like Christmas or New Year, someone sending you presents that you want to cherish for a long time. I decided I would explore the Villa little by little and conquer it piece by piece.
Li Jie walked in front of me all the time, walking me through the property, we arrived inside the house, it would become my home soon. Li Jie turned around and faced me,
"Young lady, this place security is good and the surrounding is good for your recuperation your bedroom is on the third floor. We will meet again tomorrow."
"Thank you, Brother Li Jie, you do take rest, while you come tomorrow could you please bring the accounts for the estates and trust funds? I need to review the details to plan better."
"Young lady" Li Jie politely smiled and left me alone to explore the place first.
I need to go to the washroom, hell hospitals are no fun and taking a nice warm bath is the epic level relaxation you can ask for, I went upstairs and prepared a beautiful bath for me; how thoughtful of Li Jie there are bathroom accessories all neatly arranged in the cupboard all new and smelling good it's time to relax my nerves.
[POV Li Jie]
After leaving the Villa unit one, Li Jie went straight to Villa unit four which was the neighbouring Villa to Villa unit one. He passed through the gates and went straight to the first to the study room, which is used by Hu Qiang as his office was staying at home. He knocked on the door of the study and only after hearing a light response enters the room.
"Good Afternoon Sir, we have transferred madam to Villa 1."
"Anything else?"
"Sir, madam asked for all the account books relating to estate and trust funds to be handed to her tomorrow for reviewing."
"Okay give it to her."
"Sir, how to respond to any of her queries?"
"You are a smart person, answer accordingly."
"Yes Sir"
"Li Jie, stay with her as her assistant from today onwards, see that nothing happens to her."
Li Jie was stunned for a moment, " Yes sir" he replied, he was emotional, it must be known that before serving the Hu Corporations, he was the legal custodian to Bai Chang, he practically raised her and treated her as his own.
He was satisfied to return to his Young ladies' side, to be her umbrella and her safety net when she needs it. There was gratitude in his eyes as he looked towards the man in front of him, Li Jie politely nodded and left the study.
While Hu Qiang thought to himself 'this time I will be your Shield and your armour without chinks so that you can live the way you want to live without dealing with troubles from the past.'
While Bai Chang finished her shower and stood in front of the full-length mirror, what reflected was a young girl in her twenties, height 5.7 feet, long graceful limbs, Swan neck and eyes dark brown; holding mysteries within and inviting others to come and try to explore. Her hairs were waist length and beautiful like silk threads, the body complexion was fair; if she dressed right she can steal a few hearts just by walking by the road.
She was dressed in a very simple bold yellow colour floral Maxi dress and it gave her image of the sunflower and untouched by the world it looks good after self-admiring and feeding herself with a healthy dose of female vanity she started exploring the Villa building itself.
This place was big but not cluttered, on the ground floor there was a large living room as well as the drawing-room; outdoor room facing the pool and small garden. The first floor had an open kitchen and dining place with two guestrooms to the opposite side with attached washrooms. In the third floor there was only a master bedroom with attached washroom and big Study room the size of half a ballroom with all types of books and a classic European table chair set up, there is a couch in the room. On the third floor, all windows were made up of glass, floor-to-ceiling length overlooking various picturesque spots of the Villa but after all the exploration I soon realised something which is in this place there are no memories of this place in Bai Changs' head and neither is there any belongings related to her, it turns out my sweet home is after all not so sweet home for Bai Chang.
Never mind after all a new beginning could be started from a new place too and admitting it truthfully this place is just the right place for me. As I fell in love with this place so it will become my 'Home Sweet Home'.
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!

'Oh it's a brand new day with my brand new life, I feel like a Disney character; I can sure break into a song if you want me to, after getting freshened up I walked down the stairs to the outdoor activity room.'
One hand holding a cup of Mocha and sitting on a couch admiring the view, how very relaxing, in my past life I don't remember myself having such a time.'
A bell rang somewhere I looked over my shoulders brother Li Jie was outside the doors.
I let him in; he looked at me from head to toe, ensuring everything is good there was a sign of relief in his eyes.
"Young lady, did you have a good sleep?"
"Yes brother"
"Your physiotherapist would be here for your session by 10 a.m."
"Okay, Brother Li Jie, have a seat by me and enjoy a cup of coffee."
He sat on the single chair and I fixed my cup of coffee. 'Pardon my manners but I only know how to make coffee so no options provided'.
After taking the cup from me he asked "Young lady, how do you want to manage the household?"
He sipped on the coffee a moment passed, 'I was a little bit nervous then there was a genuine appreciation in his eyes my inner vanity did a lovely girl's Swag move'.
"Brother, I want to know in what circumstances you can help me then I will arrange personal". Though not direct he understood the underlined subtext from my question.
"Young lady, let me properly introduce myself, I have been with your family for all my years. My father was your father's manager and friend. I was brought up under your parents' blessings and I have looked after you all my years after your parents passed away, your custodian was my father later in an accident my father died and I became your custodian. While you were in a coma, I worked as an assistant to the CEO of the Hu Corporations and now that you are back I am back by your side, that is, if you take me."
"Brother Li Jie, thank you for your hard work... do not distance yourself, I am aware of your presence from some of my early memories that is why I followed you out of the hospital otherwise I wouldn't have done so."
"Young lady, what you wish to do then about Household personnel?"
"Arrange for some trustworthy people to work inside the house a responsible steward would do, for outside the main building, to maintain the property arrange for some contract company that you see fit. But inside the main building, 3rd floor would be off-limits for all without my explicit orders. Hiring a nutritionist who would do the cooking, without my permission no other person can enter the main building. I would review the security grid later, for now, let's keep it up to this."
"Yes Young lady"
"Brother, the steward and the nutritionist I would like to personally interview them you sort out a list of competent people for the post."
"Yes young lady"
Suddenly Brother Li Jie took out his phone
"Young lady, your physiotherapist is here accompanied by Dr Lee."
"Oh, Dr Lee is here, sure welcome them."
"Yes young lady"
'Oh, Li Jie is so uptight', I sighed.
I went to the drawing-room to receive the guest, Dr Lee was accompanying a young lady by his side she looks too fairy-like, sharp facial features, nice eyebrows and temperament of someone with absolute confidence in her craft.
"Nice to meet you. You sure looked radiant outside the hospital room."
"Well, what can you say, hospitals are meant for patients and home is meant for outpatients with the sense to enjoy life."
He saw me observing the lady he was accompanying "Ms Shui let me introduce her, she is Dr Yun Hualing, my sister, a Traditional as well as Western medicine practitioner and the best Physiotherapy in the country."
"Hello Dr Yun, I will be under your care from now on."
"Hello, Ms Shui, let's start the check-up and diagnosis."
"Sure" I replied.
We moved to the outdoor activity room and there Dr Yun gave me a thorough check-up and prescribes the flowchart for my Physiotherapy. I give it a look; there were no immediate problems in it.
So the morning went by exercising my limbs slowly. At around late afternoon after having lunch both Dr Lee and Dr Yun left.
Brother Li Jie stayed behind, "Young lady, how do you feel?"
"It's good brother, yesterday I asked for the accounts book."
"Young lady, they are on your table on the ground floor study room."
"Thank you brother, stay behind, let's chat it's too boring to stay all by myself."
"Sure, what would you like to have at dinner? I would cook for you."
"Brother you know how to cook?" he saw the radiant light in my eyes and smiled brightly. "There is a lot more to your brother" he smiled and went to the supermarket to get stuff for making the dinner.
I realised that Li Jie was finally warming up to me, so next on the itinerary is looking through those account books. It took all evening for me to look through and make sense of the funds. Dinner was cooked and the aroma made me hungry.
I went to the dining room where food was served Li Jie looked at me and smiled as an elder brother watching his younger sibling being adorable and right on cue my stomach grumbled declaring that I was hungry.
We both laughed and Brother Li Jie served me dishes, there were congee and vegetable salads as well as some soup. I quickly sit down on the chair and started to dig in.
"Brother, I read through those funds but I do not understand the extra 10 million from The Hu Corporation."
"Young lady that was provided by the CEO of the Hu Corporation, in good faith to congratulate you on your health."
"That is some big red packet I must say, we will need to pay it off."
"As your wish, is the food delicious?
"It is"
"Glad you liked it."
After dinner, Li Jie left. I went to my study room on the third floor and quietly pulled out a notepad and jotted down my 'To-Do List'.
