Family Dinner 1

8 hours before the disaster.

Li Lifen woke her daughter up. It was almost noon time and she has to get her daughter prepared for the dinner later. Athena groggily went to the bathroom to do her morning ritual. All the while, her Dottify playlist played a random band's album loudly. Her mother and father inwardly smiled.

7 hours before the disaster.

After eating brunch and brushing her teeth carefully, her mother dragged her back to her room.

"We forgot to buy gifts for the Choi's!" Li Lifen panicked.

"Mom, fret not! I already bought them yesterday. I also have a surprise gift for Mrs. Choi~" Athena brought out two pastel-colored boxes, one is bigger than the other, and showed them to her mother.

Li Lifen sighed in relief and proceeded to her daughter's closet to pick a suitable dress.

6 hours left.

After choosing a light blue vintage dress, she then curled her daughter's hair while weeping.

"My jewel's hair! Uhuhuhu that wicked aunt of yours destroyed your precious natural black waves!"

"Mom, it's okay. It's just hair, I would chop the bleached part when it gets longer, so don't cry it'll ruin your make-up! Aiya! It's already ruined Haha!" Athena cooed.

3 hours left.

Li Lifen sniffed and then proceeded styling her daughter's hair then put light make-up on her almost pimple-free round face.

"Oh before I forget! Wear this cute necklace. It's a gift from someone special!"

Before going down, Lifeng suddenly brought out a red ribboned box and took out a musical note pendant necklace, Athena only shrugged as it was actually cute, the two finally ascended and rode their family car.

George Huang Wu was already waiting for them inside the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman. There were lots of men in black following them. He patiently waited for his wife and daughter to finish dressing up.

One and a half hour later, they finally arrived at the mountains, and they drove towards the dense forest.

"Umm....are we going to the right place?" Athena asked, stopping herself from trembling. They were now deep in the forest, the sun was already setting. She remembered the horror movies she watched in her previous life. She wasn't easily scared but knowing that she was walking towards the lion's den, she can't help but feel scared.

"Yes, our jewel. The Choi's live in the mountains," her father smiled like it was normal. Then suddenly their car stopped in front of large golden gates.

After one of the men in black went out and confirmed our identity, it opened and the car proceeded to move towards a modern Korean/Japanese/Chinese temple-like mansion. It was an amazing fusion of Asian and western architecture.

Athena can't help but be amazed. Their Greek-style mansion can't be compared with this palace.

"Hexie-er. Our precious jewel. Please, please! Don't over eat! And chew slowly!" Li Linfeng once again nagged at her daughter while doing some finishing touches before stepping out of their car elegantly.

Athena gripped at her black Chamel bag.

'Okay, Athena, you are now Hexie Wu, the third young lady of the Wu Corporation! You are a noble young lady! Don't over eat! Chew slowly!' Athena prepped herself. She steadied her breathing and straightened her back. She followed her parents towards the mansion.
