Hello, Mr Li

Chapter 277

Earlier, Jianjun was still thinking whether or not to go see Changyu inside the room but later decided against it. 

He tried to give himself different reasons why he should not go meet her inside the room by this time of the night—she was probably very tired or asleep, her ankle hurts and she probably needs to rest. 

Every single excuse he could think of, he made them all up to convince himself that going in there was probably not the best thing to do tonight. 

Since he did not feel like sleeping, he decided to surf the net and go through the latest news. 

The topping news was that of the Song elders" arrest.

He was surprised when he saw that they had been arrested. 

When most top people in the country was arrested, it was usually in secret. Mainly because it was for show most of the times and they were obviously going to free them in less than twenty four hours so people did not know about it.

But this was all over the news already. 

His eyes went to the room"s door again. "Did she by chance do it?" He asked himself. 

He had always known that she did not have a good relations.h.i.+p with her parents right from when she was still very young, plus, she had recently cut ties with them and warned everyone not to help them unless they wanted to get into her black book.

"Is she by chance doing all of this because of us?" He wondered aloud but still was not quite sure. 

His heart skipped a bit when he saw the light come on inside the room. 

"Is she coming out? Why?"

He pretended to sleep and covered himself with the blanket  as he waited for her to come out but she did not. 

He then sat up and fixed his gaze on the door without looming anywhere else.

Now, he was sure that she was awake and something told him it was time to go meet her there. 

After a while, he stood up and slowly walked towards the door. 

And to his shock, he heard her crying inside when he was about to knock. 

He hand stopped midair and did not bother to knock. He considered going inside to console her but he did not know whether it would be wrong of him to intrude. 

He felt maybe she was sad because of her parents. Or maybe she was still sad because of everything Cixi had told her.

And as he stood there quietly, he suddenly saw the door open wide.

Changyu was a bit surprised when she saw him standing there. 

She watched as his eyes moved from her face down to her hand. And when he saw the things she was holding, his eyes widened. 

"How...did you get that?" He asked with a stutter before reaching his hand to take them from her but she quickly pulled her hand away and ducked it behind her. 

"You were going through my things?" He looked at her face this time and asked in displeasure.

"Yes. I went through your things." She openly admitted. Now was not the time to start explaining why she did so. They were more pressing issues on ground.

"And I have questions for you" 

He closed his eyes in resignation and opened them back again. 

"How"s your ankle?" 

"That"s not important right now. I said I have questions for you!" 

"Fine. What is it?" 

"Why did you keep that kind of letter all these years?" She asked first. 

She was going to ask him one after the other.

"Can"t I keep the things that were given to me?" 

"This is a stupid letter! How could you keep something like this? I wrote it, yet, I don"t even remember the details. But you kept going through it year after year?"

She placed the picture, DNA test result and necklace in one hand. While the letter was in the other hand she brought out. 

"How could you keep this?" 

Quickly, he took the letter from her and shred it into pieces then allowed them scatter on the floor. 

"Are you happy now? Since I have gotten rid of it, are you happy?" 

"Yes I am happy!" She shot back at him before remembering to keep her voice down since two people were sleeping just inside the next room. 

Next, she brought out her other hand from behind.

He knew quite well everything that she was holding and waited for her to ask her questions. 

"How did you get my necklace?" She asked next. 

He sighed before moving past her to enter inside the room.

When he entered, he saw the little box and the other items lying on the floor.

Changyu did not waste time to follow him inside and locked the door after she entered. 

"Everything is strange. Everything!"

"I would have easily a.s.sumed that you did a paternity test for your daughter because you thought your wife cheated on you. But that is not the case here. Can you see the date the test was carried out?" She opened the paper wide and held it in front of him. 

"How come Sara was born on this year when I know Helene was never pregnant then. If you really loved me like you claimed, you would never have had any affair with Helene. So Sara is obviously not Helene"s daughter. Right?" 

She was still a bit skeptical, so she asked. 

"Who is Sara"s mother and how did you get my necklace?" 

Jianjun sat down and scratched his head. He had not expected things to turn out this way. Why did she have to go through his things? Now, his entire plan was messed up. 

"Anna gave it to me. The necklace." 

"I don"t believe you. But let"s a.s.sume I do." Changyu answered immediately. "What about Sara? You even went as far as forging her age. Whose....whose child is she?" 

Changyu bit her lower lip as she impatiently waited for his reply. 

Even her hands began to shake uncontrollably. 

"Changyu...." He stood up from the bed and stood in front of her. 

As he looked down at her, she looked up at him with curious eyes. 

"I want to ask you a question" He told her. 

She shook her head. "I don"t want to hear it. I don"t want to hear any questions from you right now. I only want you to answer mine." 

He placed his hands on her shoulders to stop her from shaking her head.

When she felt him touch her, she stopped and stared at him.

"You might hurt your neck if you keep looking at me like that." He joked but soon turned serious as he asked. 

"Our daughter... What did you do with her?" 

He paused to see her reaction and hear her answer but he could not read her expression no matter vow hard he tried. 

"I knew it. You are still very dumb" 

"What do you mean?" He asked her in confusion before dropping his hands from her shoulders. 

"I....never told you it was a girl." She stated.

He could no longer maintain eye contact and moved his eyes away from her. 

"The girl next room... Sara....is she...is she..?"

No matter what, she did not know how to put it. Neither did she know how to ask the question. 

 As much as she wanted it to be true, she felt it was simply too good to be true.

"Sara is my daughter" Jianjun said with his gaze back on her. 

"And yours.." He added.
