No Longer Her Home

When Yang and Mohan were turning to leave, they were stopped by Elder Zhang who told them to follow him home as the discussion could not wait until tomorrow. So the party of four all went to the Zhang residence.

At the Zhang residence.

When Shi got down from the car, she was staring at the mansion with mixed feelings for this was the place where she had the best memories with her mother and on the other hand this was also the place where she and her darling mother had suffered so much. As she tried to put her foot forward she suddenly realized that her body was trembling.

Trembling from her past experiences in this house.

Yang who was walking behind Elder Zhang and Mohan suddenly noticed Shi's absence only to turn around and see her shaking. Now Mohan and Elder Yang had also noticed Shi's dilemma. Elder Zhang asked Shi in a gentle tone.

''Shi, my child what happened to you? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Tell me so that I can send someone for the family doctor, but first let us enter the home''

'Home? This place is not my home not after all that has happened to me in there'

Shi thought to herself with a bitter smile on her face and replied

"I am sorry grandfather I do not think that I can enter this place especially with all that has happened. I can no longer think of this place as my home. I do not think I would be able to catch even a wink of sleep in there''

''Then where do you want to go child? It is true that we own many house in this city but none of them are in conditions to welcome to at this hour''

Replied Elder Zhang who was by now heartbroken at his granddaughter's condition. While Yang badly wanted to offer to take Shi back to her place but thought against it when he saw Mohan's face threatening him and after remembering Shi's brother, Li Yifeng. He did not even wish to imagine what Yifeng might do to him if he got to know that Shi went to his home.

''Please there is no need for you to care for my wellbeing. As far as I remember grandpa Li had some property in the country, I could stay there or even better I could stay with Yifeng at his villa. I will call him at once to come and pick me up.''

While staying this Shi had already taken out her phone and was calling Yifeng. Elder Zhang who was heartbroken at his granddaughters stand to not enter the mansion could only stand on the side and watch as Yifeng spoke to Shi asking her to wait for him to come to her.
