Hello, Mr Li Chapter 72
Advertisement
Sara was still not used to this new home. Everything still felt strange to her. Especially the part where the three of them had to share a room. Even her father was uncomfortable—she could tell.
After Sara and Jianjun returned from paying Mr Chu and Bilike a visit that afternoon, thankfully, Bilike was okay and would be discharged the following day while Mr Chu was to remain. Sara and Jianjun returned to meet boredom. Jianjun got busy with his phone, trying to search for a cheaper apartment they could afford. It was better than moving from place to place.
"Dad, once I receive my salary, let's move to a nice place" Sara said to Jianjun when she took a peek at his phone.
"We cannot depend on your salary. You should use it to get yourself nice clothes and cosmetics like other girls would do"
"Nice clothes? Are you saying my clothes are not nice?" She asked with a pout.
Jianjun looked at Sara's ripped Jean trousers and large polo shirt. Even though she was sitting on the bed. It was still obvious that it was large for her. Even he could fit into it.
"Of course, they're not nice. How do you expect to get married if you keep looking this way?. Look at your clothes, I could fit in those" He said pointing at her top.
Sara scoffed in disbelieve. "What? you never complain about my looks, why are you doing that all of a sudden? And when did I ever tell you I wanted. to get married?"
Before they both knew it, it turned into a verbal fight which kept going on and on. As they both raised their voices. He was trying to tell her to take care of herself. Sara on the other hand felt he was overreacting since she had always been this way except the period she was with Jinyong.

"Can't you take care of yourself? Even my face looks smoother than yours" He chided.
"Ah! That's what you want? I'm going to go shopping with every penny I have. Just watch me"
She fished for her bag pack, phone and a face cap then wore her sneakers before stomping out of the house.
Jianjun smiled and called after her "Change your clothes before leaving" But she left without looking back.
He wanted his daughter to at least, look good. He would be a bad father if he continued letting Sara live that way. Sara was fond of using any money she had to assist the family,especially Joreen. Sara had always wanted a sibling while growing up. Having Joreen by her side now was a dream come through so she spoil Joreen with any chance she got. It was so with the Wangs. They were fond of spoiling whoever they loved. So watching Sara's indifferent attitude towards Jinyong while they were dating, he knew it was not love she felt for him.
Sara stood outside. Chiding herself for acting rashly. Where was she supposed to go to now? She had no friend to visit. She could not go to the Li's house today either, neither could she go to the hospital to visit Mr Li because he told her he would go back home this morning. So where was she supposed to go? She had no money. She had given all to Jianjun when they were leaving their apartment and he had included it when they went grocery shopping yesterday. She hit her head on the wall. Trying to get an idea to pop in when her phone rang.
"Heya. Is something wrong?" Sara asked when she took the call.
"I was about asking you that. How are you? Did you get my message yesterday?" Heye asked.

"Message? I didn't get any message yesterday"
"Oh. I guess not then. I wanted to check up on you. Is everything alright at home?"
"Yea. We're good. Thanks" A small smile appeared on Sara's face. She had been informed that Heya had no friend and found it difficult relating with others. Sara was glad Heya was opening up to her at least.
"That's a relief. I was able to workout on my own yesterday. It surprised me that I did it consistently without anyone monitoring me. It was killing though. But I think with time, I'll get used to it"
Sara could hear the happiness in her tone.
"I'm glad to hear that. You should take a break today. We'll continue tomorrow. Hope you didn't forget about Friday? I already told Mr Li about it. He agreed" With the mention of Mr Li, Sara was curious to know if he had returned home and if he was okay.
She remembered the sad look on his face when he handed her the lunchbox. 'Does he still feel sick?' She wondered.
"I do remember. Big Bro told me you both spoke."
"Is...Is he back now?" She asked hesitantly.
"Yes. He returned very early this morning and has gone to work"
"Work? He should be recuperating!" Sara didn't know when she blurted that out.
"Recuperating? Why would he be recuperating when he only traveled?" Heya asked.
"Oh! I meant resting" She gave a sigh of relief when Heya didn't ask further. After chatting for a while Heya asked.
"You haven't forgotten to use the free coupon today right? it'll expire after today."
At the mention of that, Sara's eyes twinkled.
Finally! there was somewhere to go to.
