Mei Lin never expected to visit France without a passport; it seemed blasphemous that she could stand on this country's soil. If people knew of her true heritage, she knew many scandals would spring from reporters' imagination.

Mei Lin did not expect to be on a private get on Christmas Day, traveling to a small town in France. She was glad that Yang was at home in Zhao Manor, resting from his fever. Mother Zhao had told her to do what she wished and that she would take care of her son in Mei Lin's stead.

Yang had also called Mei Lin and then Chang Min after. Mei Lin could not hear what her husband and older brother had talked about on the phone, but she knew it made Chang Min grin like an idiot even with the impending death of their great-grandfather.
