Chapter 83: 84: Never Cross Over
"Good evening, uncle Yu." Wang Li Lei greet the still-frozen Mr. Yu politely, waking him up from his state of surprise.
"Ah! Xiao-Lei. " Mr. Yu glance toward Xiao Yun and scratches his head not knowing what to say. "Was Xiao Yun bothering you...?"
For Mr. Yu, he holds a higher opinion of Wang Li Lei than his own daughter...
In his eyes, Xiao Yun is much more of a troublemaker since her childhood. And if Wang Li Lei is doing something weird, the trigger must have been only a single person- his own daughter...
Remembering the small incident that brought Xiao Yun's heart closer to him, Wang Li Lei shook his head and smile warmly. "No."
For the first time, Mr. Yu sees Wang Li Lei's warm smile. Seeing the smile of Wang Li Lei, a sense of familiarity rose up from Mr. Yu's heart.
Nearly 30 years ago, his best friend, Wang Li Lei's father, Wang Wen Qu met his mother, Fei Shan in university.
There the two of them fall in love with each other at first sight and a few months after their first meeting the two become the university's best couple.
However, in their sweetest days, the couple has a big hurdle that they could never cross over. That was Wang Wen Qu's parents. No matter how harsh people criticize their relationship, the couple never lost their standing and continue to stand beside each other.
Years past and the couple decided to marry. But things turn a lot worse than they thought. When Wang Wen Qu talks to his family about their plan to marry, his parents strongly opposed their marriage. As a high-socialite family who also has a nobility bloodline, they could not accept Fei Shan enter the family. Especially because Fei Shan is an orphan girl who doesn't have a high-standing.
Wang Wen Qu tried to persuade his parents, but after learning how strongly they oppose his beloved and even planned to separate them forcefully, he decides to elope and left Wang Family.
Although Wang Wen Qu left the family, his parents who love him very much could never bear to let their only first-born son leave the family and still name Wang Wen Qu as the right heir to Wang Corporation.
Thus, Wang Wen Qu married Fei Shan while still being the CEO of Wang Corporation.
3 years after their marriage, the couple was blessed with Wang Li Lei. Like any normal boy, Wang Li Lei lived with his family happily.
Although the relationship between Fei Shan and Wang Wen Qu's parents were neither good nor bad and was rather lukewarm, Wang Yongyi and Wang Yan Zhi dote on Wang Li Lei quite heavily in their own ways.
Until that happens... The accident which takes Wang Wen Qu's and his wife's life-
On a rainy day, when the three people in the car were about to go back to their house, a drunk truck driver crash into their car.
The accident was horrifying, but miraculously, their only son, Wang Li Lei was saved.
Wang Li Lei was only 12 when it happens. As an undeniable genius, Wang Li Lei's memory was multiple times better than normal people, everything he sees or heard once would always stay on his mind like an eternal recorder. People always claim his talent to be a blessing. But to him that strong talent of him felt like an unending curse, he could still remember clearly what happened that day.
While Wang Yan Zhi and Wang Yongyi was admitted to the hospital from heart attack and depression from losing their son, Wang Li Lei's uncle and aunts start to fight for his adoption.
Faking emotion of sympathy and kindness, people who he has never seen before starts to curry favors toward him, wanting to become his guardian. Or to be exact, they wanted his father's inheritance and the position as Wang Family's heir.
People would always say that children could sense the genuine feeling of adults and Wang Li Lei who have always been very sensitive to other people's feelings was immediately disgusted by their behavior.
There was no one except his grandparents, his step-aunt, and Yu Family who was sincerely mourning for his parents.
Since then, like a wild instinct to protect himself, Wang Li Lei lock himself from the world and adults who would always use masks to fake their emotions. This made him to completely lose half of his humane emotions.
Like a porcelain doll, Wang Li Lei could never cry, laughs, nor let out any small facial expression. When his grandparents brought him to a psychiatrist, all of the doctors raise their hands, not understanding the reason behind Wang Li Lei's behavior.
Seeing Wang Li Lei's progression that now he could begin to smile, Mr. Yu's eyes glazes with tears or proudness.
Wang Li Lei looks at his watch before bowing once again toward Mr. Yu and bid his goodbye. "Uncle Yu, Xing Fu, Xiao Yun, I'll be going now."
-------------Chapter 84: Super-Ultra-Rare Smile!
"Take care!" Xiao Yun brightly answered, with a tone that akin to a harmless little creature, making Wang Li Lei to silently capture the sight to his heart.
Wang Li Lei smiled and answered gently. "Mn. See you tomorrow, I'll stop by at 5. "
"Okay, see you tomorrow! " Xiao Yun waited for Wang Li Lei to enter the car like a little puppy and waves her hand at Wang Li Lei's car that gradually grew fainter while exclaiming brightly, "Bye Bye!!"
After she could not see any sight of Wang Li Lei's car, Xiao Yun walks inside the house following Mr. Yu and Xing Fu.
Remembering something important Xiao Yun fasten up her pace toward her father and brother who have started to loosen their necktie and took of their coats.
"Dad, Ge-Ge, there's something I want to tell you guys."
Yu Xing Fu was the first one to ask, followed by his father. "What is i-"
Before he wanted to ask more, Xiao Yun determined eyes made his words trail off in surprise.
This was his first time to ever see Xiao Yun became so resolute and serious. Seeing how fast his rebellious little sister grew mature, Xing Fu's eyes turn gentler.
He pats his father's shoulder who was busy and taking off his coat to the servant next to him and gave a glance, telling him to look at Xiao Yun.
Mr. Yu lifts his brow at Xing Fu and follows his line of sight toward Xiao Yun. Looking at his precious daughter's determined eyes that he had never seen before, Mr. Yu gave a soft fatherly smile.
He wanted to tell Xiao Yun to continue her words, however, he could still unable to get used to her new face and ask her to wash her makeup in a roundabout way.
"Xiao Yun, have you eaten yet? "
"Er... Not yet." Xiao Yun gave her lunch that she bought from school to that pitiful man in front of Wang Corporation's gate and also skipped lunch. Now that her father asks her whether she's eaten or not, her stomach starts to growl loudly.
Embarrassed by the loud growl from her stomach, Xiao Yun scratches her head and laughs awkwardly.
Yu Xing Fu behind Mr. Yu who heard Xiao Yun's stomach growling through the silent living room and burst out into a laugh.
While holding to his stomach, the corner of Xing Fu's eyes caught Xiao Yun who was pouting and glaring at him, warning him to stop laughing.
Mr. Yu shook his head to Yu Xing Fu's mischievous laughs and waves his hand at his children. " Alright, alright. Xiao Yun, go wash your makeup first, then let's eat. After that, you could continue discussing what you wanted to say."
"Mn! Okay!" Xiao Yun quickly ran upstairs to her room and wash her make up.
At the same time as Xiao Yun arrives at her room, Mrs. Yu walk down from the second floor with a greyish scarf covering her shoulder.
She walks toward her husband and son before looking around searching for someone. "Where is Xiao Yun?"
Mr. Yu raises his chin to the second floor along with Xing Fu who instantly answered. "Upstairs!"
"Hm..." Mrs. Yu thought for a moment in silence and ask them, "Have you guys eaten yet? And Xiao Yun?"
Mr. Yu and Xing Fu shook their head. "Not yet, Xiao Yun also hasn't eaten yet."
Mrs. Yu waves her hand toward their head maid Old Xue and ordered, "Er... Let's make something warm since today is cold. Hm... What about a hotpot? " Mrs. Yu ask Mr. Yu and Xing Fu for their opinion.
Both of them quickly nods, "That's great."
"Ah, mom, dad, I'm gonna change to my pajama first." Xing Fu tidies up his blazer and walks upstairs to his room in a hurry.
"Mn." His parents nodded.
Mr. Yu look at his wife's expression that looks unusually solemn than usual and ask. "What's wrong?"
"Er... It's about A-Lei..." Mrs. Yu took a seat on the vacant chair and exhale a long sigh.
Mr. Yu also took a seat in front of Mrs. Yu and asks with worriedly, hurrying his wife to continue her words. "Li Lei? What's wrong with him?"
Mrs. Yu took her phone and shows his husband a picture. "This! This afternoon, someone sent me this for some reason..." Her tone sounded dissatisfied.
Mr. Yu look at the picture with a faint smile. "What's with this?"
In the picture, Wang Li Lei who is very well known for his despise physical touch was blatantly patting a young man's head with a super-ultra- rare gentle smile.
Mrs. Yu slap her face and point her phone. "Look at the caption that they wrote!"
Mr. Yu who was unable to see close took his glasses and read the line under the picture.
[Wang Li Lei's lover is a man?]
"Geez! What nonsense! How crude!" Mrs. Yu angrily commented.
"What, do you believe that? " Mr. Yu laughs as he asks.
