Lady Chen thought for a while before replying, “It’s indeed not right but, Longwei already said that Chen Lihua will stay here till he comes back, so that she (Chen Lihua) will not be lonely staying in the mansion by herself”.

“It’s true, but am not saying Lihua should continue staying in the house alone, at least for tonight, let her go with Longwei after all, they are a newly married couple. And besides, she can come to visit me or you, staying a few days with either of us, untill she gets used to it. That way, she won’t be bored or lonely”. ​​

Hearing Madam Liu’s suggestions and finding that it made sense, Lady Chen aftercare, “Bilu, what you said is right. I will immediately go and pack a few of Lihua’s belongings. Once they (Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua), I will allow them to have dinner before driving them away”.

After talking, Lady Chen paused and having thought of something, she asked, “Bilu, why do I feel like you are trying to take my daughter from me?”

Madam Liu coughed awkwardly having been caught in the act, she immediately fawned over Lady Chen, “Aiyah!, how can you say that, we are family. Lihua is your gem, well understood. She’s after all my daughter in-law and she needs to stay together with her husband at least the night of their marriage. And am not taking Lihua away from you”.

Lady Chen looked at Madam Liu intensely as if to see any atom of lie on her face.

Madam Liu out of guilt, looked away from Lady Chen’s gaze.

Retracting her gaze, Lady Chen stood up and went to the Kitchen to meet Aunt Zin who was washing the dirty dishes.

Lady Chen instructed her to make enough dishes for everybody including Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua would be coming over and also another bottle of Champagne.

After giving the instructions, Lady Chen found a fashion magazine for Madam Liu to go through so that she won’t be bored sitting there by herself.

Handing over the magazine, she said, “You can go through these why I help Lihua to pack one or two things. I know that child very well, If I wait for her to come back and pack it herself, am afraid she won’t go back with Longwei because, she will look for excuses to give, in other not to go with Longwei”.

“OK hurry up, I will wait for you. I will also make calls, to make arrangements in Liu Longwei’s Villa”.

“Ok”. Giving a swift reply, Lady Chen quickly went up to Chen Lihua’s room to pack a few things up.

She went into Chen Lihua’s walk in closet, she brought out a small travelling bag. She packed few outing dresses, and casual wears.

When she went through all Chen Lihua’s night wears, she berated Chen Lihua in her mind, ‘This girl don’t even have any night wear that is less conservative, everything am seeing here is making me angry, does this girl want be a number?’

After going through the whole closet and not finding what she wanted, she got angry and went downstairs leaving the ordeal of packing half way.

Getting downstairs, she saw a maid close by and instructed her to take the credit card from Aunt Zin to Buy a set of Non conservative night wears for Chen Lihua. (the credit card in Aunt Zin’s possession was used for household expenses).

Lady Chen emphasized on the word non conservative very well and urged the maid to hurry up.

She told the maid to go to the nearest clothing store and to go with the chauffeur to save time.

After giving the instructions, Lady Chen went back to the living room to sit with Madam Liu.

When Lady Chen entered the living room, Madam Liu saw her fuming with anger and asked worriedly, “Ju Ju, you just left a while ago, what matter provoked you?”.

Lady Chen sat beside, before replying, “Is it not that girl that want to kill me by angering with every opportunity she gets. When I was packing her clothes, I didn’t even see any appropriate night gown. All the night gowns in her closet are meant for nuns”.

Hearing the reason for her anger, Madam Liu laughed out loud (Lol).

Lady Chen glared at her and the Latter stopped laughing.

“Ju Ju calm down, do you want to see winkles on this your smooth young face?. Have you done something about it?”.

Thinking of what she has done, Lady Chen’s anger dissipated a little, “Of course, don’t you trust me, I have already settled the scores with her”.

“Since you have dealt with it, don’t be angry, it’s not good for your health”.
