"Ahem, ahem." Butler Li cleared his throat and started. He was so animated, it's like he's reading bed time stories to young children.
"Let's start with Master Juanyu." Butler Li started the story from Grandpa Juanyu.
"His family was a normal working-class family back in the day and his parents have promised a family friend that in the future, their children will get married. But Master Juanyu fell in love with Madam Sophia when Madam came to Miresa for a holiday and they met by chance. Master Juanyu married Madam Sophia even when his whole family turned his back on him for following his heart instead of what his family decided for him."
"Master Juanyu opened a small construction material supplies business and due to his great skills and compassion for his employees, he eventually managed to expand it from being a contractor to developers to a successful real estate developer and that's when Master Jian Li has taken over."
"When Master Jianli went to Anemepolis for his advanced degree in university, that's where she met Mrs Grace who was there on scholarship. They have fallen in love pretty much like Master Juanyu and Madam Sophia."
"When Master Jian Li was in charge of the company, he has expanded it more to a broader spectrum investment. Madam Grace, with the help of Madam Sophia are running the Wu Foundation that looks after the current and past employees of Wu Corporation, their families and the environment."
Bultler Li looks at the three curious faces listening to his story, which excited him more. So he continued…
"Everybody expected Master Henry to follow his father's footstep from the beginning and to take over the Wu Corporation. When he was 12, he started interning in the Wu Corporation from the lowest clerk position. Every holiday and school break he would be there working. Before he graduated university, he was already assisting his father with the management decisions."
"However, he surprised everyone when he decided to start his own company from scratch which he called WuComp. He used the money he's saved from when he was young including the salary, he got from working from Wu Corporation. When his company took off quite quickly and successfully, he asked for a personal loan from his family to fund the expansion of the company which he has repaid within the year. And the rest is history - he solely owns 75% of the company gifted his mother and grandmother 5% each and the rest are employee shares. He had the skills and ability to grow quickly and with the backing of his family, have never needed corporate or investor backing which helped him achieve what he's got now solely based on his decisions."
"Close your mouth, you're also rich." Jia told her
"Yeah I know, but not top 10 kind of rich" Lina explained to her sister
Lina is also very rich. She's been on the top highest paid actress for 5 years in a row now. And because of achieving blockbuster after blockbuster hits, her bonuses are very high and royalties are in millions. She's also very smart with her money, her mother has ingrained that in her.
She is very smart too, skipped a few years in school and was even awarded a scholarship to enter a prestigious medical school at the age of 15 but her attention span is short. She cannot do the same thing over and over, same thing every single day. That's why she enjoys acting. With every new role, she faces new challenges. And she's very good at it too. She has won multiple acting awards, year by year, back-to-back she releases multi awarded movies. She's also loved by directors and producers due to her non diva attitude so she is very well sought after.
Lina shook her head, now with firmer resolve not to be involved with him. That kind of accomplishment must come with major attitude issue. Look at how he disappeared just like that and the nerve to return like nothing happened after 2 years.
"Thank you so much Butler Li, I'm sorry to trouble you with our stay here, especially with these little rats here." She told the very hospitable butler
"No worries, Madam Lina, do not hesitate to call me or any of the staff if you need anything.
What would you like for lunch?"
"Local food!" The twin informs him at the same time
"Okay, what time do you want it?"
"Maybe in another 2 hours, the mice just ate anyway." Lina dismisses the butler before the twins gets ideas in their head with other requests.
John walked in and said that he has brought all her stuff already in the master's bed. "I'm going to the hospital now then." He bids farewell to the girls.
"Yeah, that's fine, stay with him and take some rest too. Dirk is here so don't worry."
Twins wave John off while busily going through their phones.
Feeling sleepy, she decided to take a nap.
"I'm going to sleep girls, lets swim after you eat lunch. I'm not going to eat." She tells them which earned her a very half-hearted wave too. Kids.
As Lina entered the suite, she saw one of the house staff arranging her clothes and stuff into the walk-in closet already. The very efficient staff had made a big space for her things in the earlier very occupied closet.
"Hi, you don't need to do that. You can just leave them inside the luggage and keep it open. I'll be able to manage from there." she tells her.
"Okay Madam Wu.", she responds with a kind smile.
Not bothering to correct her, she says thanks as the staff left.
Noticing that she's still wearing Henry's clothes, she took some comfortable shirt and short from her luggage to wear for her nap.
She took the clothes with her to the bathroom to freshen up a little bit. She changed her clothes first and used the toilet. As she finished her business and was walking towards the sink to wash her hands. She slid, lost her balance and fell, hips first, into the floor. The rug she had stepped on had slid out when she stepped on it.
"Ouch!" she yells and grabbed her hips. She's winded due to the fall. So Lina took her time and just laid down on the floor to calm down a little bit before slowly standing up.
Holding on to the walls or anything sturdy to help her, making sure she's got proper footing this time and gingerly walked back out to the sofa. She positioned herself to sleep sideways with the bruised side not touching anything. Her tired and battered body let her sleep within seconds after she closed her eyes.
