Capítulo 32: She must have gone crazy
"Dad, this is my boss, CEO Li Muchen and his younger sister Miss Li Heya. And this is my father Mr Jianjun Wang." Sara did a quick introduction.
Jianjun Wang's eyes widened in shock when he heard her. They were both from the Li family?
Joreen was obviously the most shocked. When she saw them, she had actually considered that but she did not see any reason why CEO Li would follow Sara here. Besides, Heya was not as fat as she had imagined. She was only kind of chubby but looked really pretty and cute.
Li Muchen looked at both their reactions and could only smile in return.
"Nice to meet you Mr Wang" He said as he bowed slightly.
"No...no... Please take your seats. I am grateful for your visit. Sorry this place is not up to your standard" He quickly apologized.
"It's fine." Muchen replied with a modest smile.
Jianjun Wang then turned to look at Heya
"Nice to meet you too Miss Li. You are really prettier than I imagined."
Heya was shocked when she heard him. Prettier than he imagined? Does this mean he was actually saying that she was pretty?
She continued to just stare blankly and said nothing.
Jianjun Wang thought he had actually said something wrong when he saw her look.
Muchen poked Heya's shoulder lightly and asked whether she was okay. A blush appeared on her face as she smiled and responded to Jianjun Wang.
"Thank you so much Mr Wang. I have heard a lot of wonderful things about you from Sara. It is my pleasure to finally meet you."
He smiled as he ushered for them to sit down.
Joreen was not having any of it. Her mouth was still left agape.
This was really CEO Li? She couldn't help hitting herself when she remembered how she had acted 'undignified' in their presence earlier when she saw Weiyoung.
"What are you doing?" Heya who was sitting down beside her asked.
Joreen finally came to her senses and stuttered with her head down.
"I...I...am...fine"
Sara sat beside Joreen and at her other side, was Li Muchen.
Sara quickly whispered into Joreen's ears.
"Do not worry Jo. Everything is going to work out well.. I promise you"
Joreen just nodded and raised her head.
"This is my cousin Joreen Wang.. And this is my Boss Mr Li and his sister, Miss Li Heya" Sara introduced.
"Joreen Wang?" Heya was the first to ask. She had heard about Joreen being Sara's Aunt's daughter. Then, why was she bearing the Wang surname?
Li Muchen on the other hand, already knew the answer to that question. His people were quite effective when it involved investigating about other people. He had gotten everything from the file earlier.
Sara seemed to understand where Heya's confusion lied and just nodded. "Yes... but long story."
*******
Heya and Joreen kept conversing while Sara and Li Muchen just sat there awkwardly. Soon, Jianjun Wang served them their dishes and went back inside to attend to the customers. Sara had specifically ordered for a Buddha's delight for everyone since it had a low calorie. She did not want Heya to feel left out eating alone, so after confirming from Li Muchen that he had no problem with that, she made the order. But had asked for more water for Heya instead of a Soda drink.
"Your father is really a great cook. I could eat this all day" Heya said as she gobbled up the food.
"Slowly Heya, no one is chasing you..." Sara said with a small laugh before remembering to correct herself "...Sorry, I meant Miss Li." She corrected.
She still had a problem on how to address Heya.
Heya slowed her pace then, she spoke shyly.
"You can just call me Heya"
Li Muchen couldn't help but smile when he heard her. Finally, his sister was opening up to someone. And that someone was Sara!
Sara was short of words. She turned her head to see Li Muchen smiling, with his attention still on the food.
Why was she always so attracted to his smile? She must have gone crazy! She thought to herself as she continued to stare.
Li Muchen felt Sara's gaze on him and raised his head to look at her.
When she noticed him raising his head, she quickly turned to focus on her food but she wasn't fast enough. He saw the entire movement and his smile widened as he focused on his food also.
Jianjun Wang, who had been serving a customer outside, noticed the entire exchange and could only sigh.
What was his Sara getting herself into? He wondered.
_____
"Cute banana!" A drunk middle aged man called as he walked towards their table.
Joreen couldn't help sighing when she saw him.
"Not again!" She complained.
"Who is he?" Heya asked her.
"You'll see." She replied.
The man quickly got to their table and moved to stand in-between where Sara and Joreen was sitting.
Li Muchen's guard was up. He didn't know what this man was up to but seeing Sara's composure and smiling face, he realised this wasn't a really big deal.
"Good evening Mr Chu" Sara greeted as she stood up.
"Good evening my cute potato." He said as he pinched her cheeks lightly.
She laughed and pushed his hands away before using her hands to rub her cheeks gently.
"I told you to reduce your alcohol intake. You are already getting old" She warned.
"What can this old man do? That is why I at least have to marry off my son before I die" He said with a wide grin.
"Here we go..." Joreen rolled her eyes at him as she moved her attention to her meal.
Sara was done with hearing this sermon over and over again. She knew that if she gave him her attention now, then he would never let her be.
"I need to hurry up and finish my food" She said as she sat down and poured herself a drink.
"Is this your boyfriend?" He asked pointing at Li Muchen who was sitting on the other side beside her.
Sara who was in the middle of gulping down her drink suddenly choked.
Li Muchen unhesitatingly stretched his hand to pat her back and spoke softly.
"Be careful Sara."
There was this way he said it that made everyone look at him.
He had even called her Sara! Again!

Capítulo 33: Daughter in law
"Cute potato, you should be more careful." Mr Chu said as he also tapped her back.
He was about to say more when he looked at Li Muchen who was busy staring daggers at him.
He choked back on his words and retracted his hand.
He was far older than Li Muchen but he couldn't help being afraid when he met his gaze.
"Sis are you alright?"
"Are you okay Sara?"
Joreen and Heya both asked when they realised she was still coughing.
Sara gradually stopped coughing and answered dryly, "I'm fine."
"Thank you" She said to Li Muchen without looking at him.
He nodded and also retracted his hand from her back.
"This is my boss Mr Li" She introduced him to Mr Chu.
Mr Chu took a closer look at Li Muchen as he asked.
"Your boss? Then why was he glaring at me like that?" He asked drunkenly.
They all looked at Li Muchen, expecting him to at least say something but he just poured himself a drink and after gulping it down, he continued eating slowly.
Why would Mr Li glare at Mr Chu? Sara wondered.
She then concluded that maybe Li Muchen was not comfortable around Mr Chu or Mr Chu was probably imagining things since he was drunk.
"Mr Chu, you are over thinking things. Why would my boss glare at you?" Sara asked as she stood up to gently pull him away from their table. She didn't want him to create a scene, at least, not today.
"He did, I swear he did" He said firmly as he refused to be pulled away and held her hand.
He took a closer look at Sara's hand and then her face before he asked.
"You are becoming really thin my cute potato. Have you been stressing yourself?"
"I'm fine Mr Chu. You should leave now." Sara replied, still trying to make him leave.
He didn't bother answering her as he looked at her plate of food and spoke angrily,
"Cute potato. Why are you eating vegetables? You should eat good food. No man wants to marry a thin girl these days."
Heya and Joreen who had both ignored the both of them and continued eating, suddenly raised their heads when they heard him.
"What do you mean no one wants to marry her?" Joreen asked angrily but immediately lowered her head to focus on her meal when she remembered that Li Muchen and Li Heya were still present there.
Mr Chu didn't even bother looking at Joreen as he continued speaking with a smile now plastered on his face.
"My Nephew is coming home soon. You should gain weight before he comes around"
"Mr Chu, I've told you countless times that I'm not interested in your son or nephew"
Li Muchen who was still busy with his food, smirked when he heard Sara's response. 'Your cute potato just rejected you' He thought to himself smugly.
He picked up a piece of serviette from the table and wiped his mouth gently as he tried his best not to smile.
"Shuu! Don't say that" Mr Chu scolded Sara.
"At least, you should look like this cute potato here" He said pointing at Heya.
Heya blinked in confusion.
Did he just tell Sara to look like her? And even called her a cute potato?
"Me?" Heya asked in bewilderment.
"Yes, you! Cute potato. Are you single? Do you want to be my daughter in law? How old are you?" He asked as he moved to her direction.
Heya blushed. She really did not know what to say.
But one thing she knew was, she really enjoyed the warmth she felt there ever since she got there.
First, no one mocked her, she was welcomed politely, Mr Wang said she was pretty and here, someone else wants her to be his daughter in law.
She smiled widely and didn't mind that she was being called a potato. She focused more on the 'cute'.
When Li Muchen saw his sister's smiling face, he couldn't help shaking his head.
Mr Chu saw her smiling face and assumed she had agreed to be his daughter-in-law. He was about to say more when Li Muchen interrupted.
"We should leave now." He said as he stood up.
"Ah! I'm not done yet" Heya said sadly as she looked at the remaining food on her plate.
"You've eaten enough already. It's already late" He said in a cool voice.
***********
"Thank you so much Mr Wang. Your meal was really delicious." Heya said with a smile.
"We really enjoyed the meal Mr Wang. Please let us pay." Li Muchen said as he took out his leather wallet from inside his pocket.
"No.. no.. no.. you do not have to. I'm honoured to have you here. I can't ask for more"
"We should still pay you Mr Wang." Muchen insisted politely.
"No. Don't worry about it. I'm glad you are both treating Sara well. You can both come here anytime and I'll serve you well."
Jianjun Wang had been so busy that he didn't have time to eat with them. Even when Sara had offered to help him out, he had insisted on doing everything with his employee and asked Sara to have dinner with the people from the Li family.
After their back and forth banter, Li Muchen finally left without paying for the meal.
Sara and Joreen saw them off to where his car was parked.
"You are both going home right? We should drop you off." Heya offered.
"No, we are good. Besides, our place is not very far from here." Sara replied.
"It's late. Joreen shouldn't be walking by this time." Li Muchen chipped in. "Get in. I'll drop you both off" He said as he opened the back door.
Joreen happily nodded and followed Heya to the back seat.
Li Muchen did same and opened the front door to usher Sara in. Sara felt a bit awkward being treated this nicely by Mr Li. She carefully sat down while he closed the door.
As the car drove off, Heya suddenly broke the silence and asked.
"I wanted to ask earlier, who was that lady?"
