155 ANNA WAS STUMPED

Anna was woken by her grandmother knocking the door it was 5 am Anna usually got up 5.30 am bit they were at Master Chung they were up 4 am so it wasn't too bad Anna open the door let grandma came in she was so happy to see her granddaughter she walked over and sat down on the side and patted the seat next to her Anna walked over sat down and looked at her granny and smiled and thought what is going on this is so weird.

Grandma:" I knew your thinking why I am here so early in the morning well I need to tell you a few things so hear goes we are going to a gathering this evening it is your grandfather old-time friends birthday and I came to tell you that you will be coming to okay next we need to find you a dress to wear so we're are going shopping later okay and finely if your father asked you to transfer the shares to him you tell him no okay"

Anna was surprised that her grandma didn't want her father to have the shares what was going on this family wasn't as perfect as they looked:" okay grandma I won't and I look forward to going to the birthday party although I don't do dresses I know a place I can take you to get our clothes from" she smiled gently at her grandma she was really sweet and cute.

Grandma:" good girl get dressed I will see downstairs for breakfast" she patted Anna's knee and got up and left.

Leaving a stumped Anna she thought what was happening in this family did she want to know or was it fixable should she be fixing it or stay out of it she would ring Mu Yazhe and ask him later. She slowly walked into the bathroom still thinking about this she dressed and headed downstairs to the dining room everyone one was wake waiting for her so they could have breakfast which surprised Anna.

Anna smiled her best smile and took her seat.

Anna brothers both spoke together:" morning Meimei how are you did you sleep well" they both smiled at her.

Anna::" good morning brothers and I did sleep well thank-you for asking" she chuckled at her brothers they were sweet and cute.

Grandpa:" morning sweetheart will you take a morning walk with me after breakfast" he smiled gently as he doted on his granddaughter.

Anna:" yes of grandpa I will" she beamed happily.

Kang Jun:" morning sweetheart" he walked over and kissed the top of her head.

Anna:" morning papa" Anna was frozen she had never received a good morning like this ever she didn't know how to respond to the kiss. But she didn't hate it either it gives her a warm feeling.

One by one they all greeted her Aunties, Uncles and cousins the cousins loved Anna she had rescued them so she became their hero.

Mama walked in from the kitchen holding a large bowl papa got up to help her he took it from her.

Mama saw Anna:" good morning sweetheart did you sleep well I know it's a new bed but you will get used to it" she smiled she couldn't believe that her daughter was sitting on the dining table she thought she was dreaming.

Anna:" morning mama slept well mama thank you mama" she beamed saying the word over and over again she had been longing to say this word for so long now it flowed so naturally of Anna's tongue.

Kang Ju:" why didn't you call it so big and heavy how many times do I need to tell you this" he spoke lovingly.

Jaden:" it's not heavy and I am not a fragile doll you know to stop the fuss old man" she frowned.

Anna looked up in surprise did mama just call papa old man hehe funny.

Anna brothers looked at each other and then at Anna:" here they go" they both shrugged there shoulders.

Kang Jun:" old eh really honey okay I will deal with you later old pff" he scoffed.

Jaden gulped as she knew what he meant and her cheeks burnt red as she sat down next to him she pinched really hard all you heard was a squeal coming from Papa then he glared at Jaden. Jaden just smiled like an innocent cat she looked so cute you couldn't resist her charm. Anna looked at her parents they truly loved each other she missed Mu Yazhe.

Grandpa watched his granddaughter carefully and her every move his heart hurt looking at her reaction towards her mother he thought this child grew up without her parents it must have been very hard for her he wanted to shower all his love on her and Amelia they had missed out on a lot of family time he wished he had known that they existed he was also very angry at Master Isaac for not telling him that he had two granddaughters.

Grandpa had done some inquiring about how the girls grew up he was sad to learn that the girls had a rough life they missed out on a warm loving family so he could only now compensate by giving them his and his wife shares from their companies. His elder son Kang Jun had a problem with his decision he didn't want the girls to have it he wanted his boys to have the shares but Anna Uncles didn't mind moreover they were more than happy to let grandpa hand over his shares.

The business was started by Grandpa so it was up to him who would receive his shares Grandpa was a very strict businessman when he ran the companies until he retired and handed all of the responsibility to his sons when he reigned on the companies he ruled with an iron fist he was cold and merciless he would fire people for the very simple reason if they made mistakes he crushed other companies who tried to oppose him he was ruthless to his opponents in his company for a long time there we're always males until later on he started to hire females the reason why Kang Jun thinking was like this because probably because of grandpa he had drummed into his head that the ladies should be at home looking after the family and running household men should be the ones that are the breadwinners.

Over time grandpa changed his opinion but Kang Jun didn't he carried on with the same principle but took it further he doted on his boys so much but that wasn't his fault he didn't know he had his daughters he met them when they were older and married in their own homes he couldn't bring himself out of the guilt that he had abandoned the girls so he did the next best thing ignore the girls and carry on doting on his boys Grandpa knew his son was a proud man and for him to admit that he wasn't there for his girls were going be too much for him to handle so this was his way of dealing the matter.

Grandpa remembers the day he first found out that he had daughters his son came to see him and cried in his father's arms and then he later found out that Anna was in the same room as his wife when he rescued her and left his daughter to die he cried again telling how useless he felt from that day he closed himself off to Anna and Amelia as they were just visitors in the passing in night the day would come they would be gone but that wasn't the case they were still there in front of him. The girls reminded him that he had failed as a father. He heard from other fathers how they doted on their daughters the most they were pampered like Princesses but he left daughters to suffer.

Kang Jun watched his daughter eat and thought to himself what would it have been like upbringing two daughters and how lively his house would have been and how he would have boasted about them like other fathers The guilt was killing him he didn't know what to do.

Anna looked up and founded a lot of gazes on her looking at her with love, guilt, she felt really awkward she didn't know what to say or do so she kept her down and ate breakfast quietly.

After breakfast, everyone headed to their workplaces Kang Jun greeted his wife then he looked at Anna he walked over and kissed her forehead and stroked her cheek it felt good being a dad of these girls not bad at all they are lovable and cute. Anna hugged her father without warning. He felt a warmth in his heart he had never felt before it was cosy what was this feeling that he felt when he embraced his daughter it made him smile he didn't know why he was smiling while the others just stared at this cold man who was smiling grandma was the most surprised she looked at her granddaughter than her son she always heard the other elders saying that a daughter can melt even the coldest of hearts they were right Anna had just done that.

After they all left grandma turned to Anna:" sweetheart let's go and get you a gown" she smiled at tenderly.

Anna:" okay grandma can I take to my friend he is a good designer to get my gown" she knew deep down Jimmy would be very disappointed in her if she wore any other design so he had been one she went to. Anna frowned at the thought of a gown she wonders if she could get away with a nice suit dress sort of thing.

Grandma:" okay we can go there it's fine anywhere will do all the ladies got ready and left. Apart from Jaden, she had some work she needed to catch up on.

Anna had already texted Jimmy that they were coming so be ready. She didn't give him specifics she wants to give him a heart attack when he found out the dress was for her.
