Coocumber

Du Ru Ran became an orphan at the age of 5 years old after a deliberate car accident. She was then taken in by her uncle. Life was truly tragic but being a smart girl, she managed to turn the tides around. She plans to avenge the death of her parents and her little brother who she did not get to meet in this lifetime. At that time, thank her lucky or unlucky star, she met a pair of mother and son, who gave her some warmth in her moment of total darkness. 

Years later, when they meet again, he stuck to her like a fly she could not get rid off. He kept insisting she took advantage of him when they were young and insisted that she take full responsibility for him.

20 years ago:
"Little girl, you really need to take responsibility on this young master when we are older. I am never going to let you go." He whispered into her ears. Due to his illness, he somehow grew up a little mature than peers his age. Hence, it wasn't a normal for him to be thinking about his future at such young age. In fact, since he was three years old, he had been groomed to be a fine young man in order to prepare him as he is the next heir of his prestigious family. He fell asleep with a smile on his face.

At the present:
She thought a dumb cupid made a mistake by accidentally release an arrow and the arrow went straight to a 7 year old boy and now, 20 years later, he is delusional.

"Why can't you leave me alone? I really have no time, no room for another person. I am pretty occupied with getting my revenge. Go and fly away," she said while making the hand gestures of shooing a pesky fly away.

"You really don't need to work hard on my behalf, I am touched that you worry about my well being and feeling. As long as I get to see you, that is all I require. You really don't have to do anything."

Ru Ran felt her head is going to explode, shameless, when did I, how on earth did he manage to lift himself so high that even direct language don't get to his thick skull? Fine, if you don't want to leave, I will walk away.

True to her thoughts she walked away huffing and puffing, fuming at the fly she can't get off.

"Wifey wait up!!!"

"Seriously, what do you see in me?" she asked impatiently. 

Instead of answering her immediately, he spun he around to face him, pushed her to lean against a nearby wall, locked her body with his legs and arm in order to stop her from escaping. His facial expression turn serious, gone the silly demeanor he had put up earlier. 

Her heartbeat increased and her palms started to sweat. She stuttered, "What.. What.. Just what do you plan to do?" 

"I am going to answer your question. Look me in the eyes. I see a beautiful lady, a stubborn one, cold exterior but inside she is kind and afraid to get hurt. She gave me a kiss 20 years ago and gave me the strength to live and from that day onwards, I have given my heart to her."

A story about love and revenge. (I hope so)

My reflection in your eyes

Sister Fong arrived 10 mins after the phone call, accompanying her is Mr Gan.


"Sister Fong!!" Ru Ran called in delight and she quickly ran towards Fong Siew Lay and gave her a hug. Ru Ran could not help tearing up once more as being in the embrace of someone you truly care and comfortable with can induce a person to release and not hide their emotions. It was due to this reason, she could not help but sob pitifully in Fong Siew Lay's embrace. Fong Siew Lay could only pat Ru Ran head and her back to comfort the little girl. The image of this cheerful, smart, polite and pretty little girl who known to be a happy go lucky child is crying in her arm is causing her heart to shatter.


"Hush, hush, sister Fong is here. Okay? I won't leave you, I promise you," said Fong Siew Lay.


Her spoken words caused Ru Ran to stop crying and Ru Ran looked up straight into Fong Siew Lay's face and nodded her head. She then dried her tears with a pink little silk handkerchief.


"Don't be such an irresponsible adult, promising a child something you can't guarantee," said Du Wen Hai.


"Uncle, you just promise me you will continue to allow Sister Fong to accompany me and take care of me. Are you planning on going back on your words? If so, then do you plan on  leaving me at an orphanage?" asked Ru Ran innocently, with tears threatened to spill once more at the corner of her eyes.


Fong Siew Lay glared at Du Wen Hai, both she and Ru Ran continued to stare at Du Wen Hai while awaiting his response, making him uncomfortable and uneasy.


"Ah Ran, don't misunderstand your uncle, uncle don't mean that way, of course I, Du Wen Hai will keep to my words, it is just that the future is unpredictable and it is not right to solemnly swear on something easily," said Du Wen Hai trying his best to escape from this sticky situation.


"Just a while ago, uncle promised Ru Ran that you will cherish and love me like your own flesh and won't make me feel slighted one bit, correct Ru Ran if Ru Ran is wrong as Ru Ran's thinking is still immature, uncle's vow can also be consider serious, right? Vow is a pledge and promise, so uncle words earlier is a guarantee?" asked Ru Ran.


Du Wen Hai stared at her with his mouth hanging open but he quickly closed it when he realised he had been stunned by her reasoning. He, Du Wen Hai lost to 5 year old child and was rendered speechless. Such a face slapping and embarrassment. Total humiliation. The reporters also felt like vomiting blood by her words. This girl is not simple, at such young age, already this level of black belly, they refuse to imagine the future. The thoughts of it is enough to make them shudder.


Mr Gan who was watching at the side could not help but admire the courageous girl in front of him. This girl is truly amazing. Du Wen Hao, I will do my very best to look after her and her best interest. He cleared his throat and made his presence known by introducing him.


"I am Mr Gan, the Du couple's lawyer, before his death, Master Du Wen Hao had drafted a will and it my duty to carry out the instructions and wishes of Master and Madam," said Mr Gan.


The will (I)
