172_"Let's go home."

The car that drove Li Yao and Mu Lihai sped slowly into the front lawn of a big villa. When they got off, they were immediately greeted by Fan Mei who had been expecting them to arrive.

"Welcome, my niece and President Mu! It's a pleasure to have you both in my home." she said, masking some eagerness within herself. 

"Thank you for having us today, aunty. I hope we're not intruding." Li Yao replied as she received Fan Mei's hug with open arms. 

"Come inside." the woman gestured the two of them.

When they settled inside, Li Yao noticed there was no one other than Fan Mei in such a huge home. She wondered where her husband was, or the whereabouts of her children.

"It's just you today, aunty?" Li Yao asked as she gazed around. She made sure not to make it too obvious that she was gawking at the glorious interior of the house while it really had piqued her interest.
