The atmosphere at the hospital was suffocating to the point that Weiyoung could no longer remain there. With the help of her bodyguards that night, she was able to successfully get into her car and head for her apartment.

Everything was messed up. Her family was already blaming her for their calamity. She had nothing.

Or maybe she should just travel abroad for a while? Thankfully, she had a lot saved up.

But no! She still had this child. And with this child, she was going to find her feet again. She knew it was only a matter of time before the Mo family comes for her. She thanked her stars for the child in her womb.

Sara had destroyed her in one go. For years, so many years, she had looked for a way to break Sara down. But in one day, without even planning for a long time like she had, Sara ruined her everything. Her eyes which were glistening with unshed tears turned cold.

When did her life turn this way? When did her perfect like turn this way!?

She was going to make Sara pay. Sara must kneel before her and ask for her forgiveness. A thought suddenly popped into her dumb head and she smiled wickedly. Even if it meant going to hell, she was going to ruin everyone.

Jianjun was rather curious about why Sara was suddenly interested in cooking with him. She had never really liked the kitchen especially since she was allergic to the smell raw pepper. So what was up with her today?

"What's that white thing? I think I have seen it before" Sara asked curiously as she looked at a can.

Jianjun looked at the sweaty Sara who was breathing heavily and wore a face mask. He thought if someone saw her, they might think she had been doing something useful, when she was only actually running the kitchen errands for him.

"It's mayonnaise Sara. Ma...yon..naise" He stressed.

"Oh.. I see.." She nodded. "You are going to add it to the rice?" She asked inquisitively.

Jianjun sighed and made a decison there. "From tonight, I'll be starting a cooking lesson"

Sara's eyes shone in delight. "Really, is that your new job? Do you have students already?"

Jianjun chortled. He didn't know which was worse. Her IQ or EQ?

"I feel bad. Having not allowed you learn to cook all these while. It's time to teach you you're wifely duties even though you're already too old for them"

"Oh— Wait!..." She shot him a puzzled look. "Do not tell me I am the student" She asked.

He smiled at her and angled his chin to point at the pot on the fire "stir" he commanded.

Sara fell flat on her back as soon as she got into the room. "Wang Jianjun wants to kill me" she complained to Joreen who laughed in return

"Didn't you want to learn at first?" Joreen asked.

"I did" Sara answered, trying to catch her breath as she focused her eyes on the ceiling. "I didn't know dad would take it so seriously." She ferociously shook both legs in frustration and sat up before throwing a pillow at Joreen.

"It's all your fault! Why did you have to tell Mr Li that I didn't know how to cook?"

Joreen rubbed her arm which the pillow had smacked and giggled.

"That's what all this is about."

Sara eyed her mischievously before asking "What did Mr Li say to you?"

Muchen had called earlier. And when Sara was happy that he actually wanted to speak with her, he asked for Joreen instead— which still annoyed her by the way.

"Nothing much. He only asked whether I was okay"

The previous night when they had both went out, he asked about Joreen's graduation party. Sara saw the questioning look on his face when she said "She didn't get any award."

"Someone messed with it?" He asked, instantly getting the gist.

"I think" Sara nodded nonchalantly. She didn't want to go deep into the conversation but she noticed Muchen was still looking at her curiously "Did you make trouble again?"

"Me? Trouble? No, I didn't" She shrugged her shoulders and denied.

-

She nodded to Joreen. "It's going to be okay"

Joreen nodded also "I believe you"

Sara smiled warmly at her before asking

"Why haven't I seen Aunt since I went inside the kitchen?"

"She said she's meeting with a long time friend so she left in a hurry"

Sara wondered why Cixi didn't bother telling them before leaving or maybe it was urgent?

Joreen immediately remembered something and moved closer to Sara to whisper.

"Yesterday, I overheard Mum and Dad talking" Sara would have been confused if she didn't know the Mum and dad were obviously Cixi and Jianjun.

"I didn't hear much, but they were talking about a woman."

"A woman? What woman?" Sara asked inquisitively.

"Mum said something like 'you should tell 'her' to stay away from that devil. She also mentioned something about wanting to meet her, but Dad rebuked her and she said something about the woman doing something to their family and also abandoning her child." Joreen summarised.

Sara's look turned to one of shock as she processed the whole information. A woman? Who was this woman? What did she do to their family and who was the child she abandoned?

"Where did you say Aunt went to again? Did she say anything else?"

Joreen shiik her head. "She said nothing else Or..." Joreen kept her voice lower "Do you think she went to visit that devil?"

Cixi was finally led through the gates of the estate, into Changyu's white mansion which had bodyguards almost at every corner. Just like a typical socialite.

Changyu patiently waited outside for her visitor. She was officially dressed in a blue trouser suit and black heel to go with it.

When she saw Cixi enter, it gave her a nolstagic feeling. She remembered the petite girl then who always wore glasses and packed her hair in two ponytails. The girl, who was her friend.

But now, the woman she was seeing before her had a cold expression on her face. She was still petite and had her usual long dark hair which currently had added a few strands of grey hair to it. She didn't look so aged. One could think she was in her mid 30s. And with the graceful way she walked, anyone could easily guess she had not been born in a poor home.

Cixi finally stopped in front of her. Changyu's face was also expressionless when she said "Long time no see"

But to her suprise and to the surprise of everyone there, Cixi slapped her hard on her face.
