"Yes, I saw him in your family photo. I didn't know before that this fool is actually your, Uncle."

Lui Bai's father, adopted a lady, who donated her blood when his wife, Lui Bai's mother was giving birth to him. Mr. Lui, opt to give a good life, to the lady which saved his wife. Thus, Jing Ran, who is the daughter of that lady, Yrin, became the niece of Lui Bai.

"Okay, let's go home now, Mama Su is waiting for us" ZouMi said, while she gestured the drive which drove Xau and Bai, to help with the luggage.

"Zu.. We can't go home." Su Chen stuttered. ZouMi raised her eyebrow, when he pointed at Jing Ran.

"Doesn't she has her family?"

"This isn't her native place, her parent's live in City Z."

"Then send her to Lui Mansion."

"She is prohibited there" Bai said, his eyes staring at the timid girl, holding the hem of her skirt. She doesn't have a good impression of hers in Bai's eyes.

ZouMi saw her brother's eyes hinting her which she wasn't going to take in.

"I'll arrange a hotel for her then" ZouMi said.

"Zu, how can we let her stay at the hotel? She is new here, what if something bad happens? Let her in your apartment."

"No way." Bai and ZouMi said at the same time. Both having different reasons.

ZouMi could judge from a simple look, and by the scene how she rejected stated, she doesn't have a good impression of hers. And would never allow her to stay at her apartment which was gifted to her by her father.

On her 20th birthday, her dad's trusted lawyer came to her office and handed her a paper, saying that her father planned to give her an apartment as a birthday present.

"There is no way, I would allow anyone there. If you want, I'll ask Tina to rent an apartment and bill can be on me. But not there, never."

"Let him pay, why will you pay?" Bai chipped in, not wanting his sister hard earn money waste on someone, whom his family has already banned. "Enough for now, go to the hotel and wait till Tina finds a new apartment."

Su Chen wasn't happy with the decision, but he couldn't do anything, except of agreeing. Changing Bai's decision could be easy at once, but ZouMi's, it's as hard as moving a mountain. Reluctantly he agreed. Xau and the couple boarded the car which he came in, while Bai followed ZouMi.

Xau being the talkative one, kept chatting all the way, but it was different in the other car, which was silent.

ZouMi drove the car while, Bai setting in the passenger seat.

"You too, find it odd, right?" Bai asked, after a really long while.

ZouMi didn't hide her thoughts, "Mm, she isn't what she displays. By the way, why is she prohibited in Lui Mansion?"

"I don't know the exact reason, but Mamma said, she offended grandpa and turned his words down many times." ZouMi nodded, knowing how strict Elder Lui is, despite his old age, he held the family together and is strong like before.

Lui Bai examined his sister of his, which now seems someone unknown to him. The three brothers knew she is hiding something from them, even if they turn the world upside down, they knew if she wants to hide, she will. They just had to patiently wait for her to disclose what's on her mind.

"So, how far is your plan to reach him?" ZouMi smirk, knowing what he meant.

"Soon, he is going to have a mental break down. I've warned Father Su and Father Lui already, so be more careful from now." Mr. Su and Mr. Lui are godfathers to her and her siblings. Like wise, Mr. An and Mr. Lui to Su Chen, Mr. Su and Mr. An to Lui Bai.

"Planning to still hide from us, about your whereabouts for the past years?"

"Yes" ZouMi didn't lie to him, knowing it was waste to do so. He could catch in just a second.

Lui Bain fell in silence, not knowing what to say. Since the day she took the position of CEO, the talks between them, decreased from time. Once in a while, they would have a chat like this, but that doesn't mean their bound loosen a bit. It's still as strong as mountain, and as true as the sky and ground. Nothing can pull them apart, their foundation of friendship would never bear a scratch, even if the pillar of words falls, at the end of the day, they are one.

Lui Bai chuckled, "When is the show going to start? Are you going to provide popcorn, or we've to bring it."

"Nah! You just have to sit and see, popcorn along with drinks will be served to you all" They both chuckled, a devilish one.

"What are you planning to do with that girl? Ah Chen is smitten by her."

"I hope that fool didn't go to far, at least his professional side could come for once." There were underlying messages in her words.

"If he did, his legs would be mine." Towards the end, his voice turned cold, while his eyes had a light, that could burn down anything.

"He won't. At least, for that promise." At the mention of the promise, his eyes turned normal.

"Mm.."

"When is your internship staring from?" ZouMi asked, out of nowhere.

"Soon. What about you? Is 20th going to be a fun day?" He eyed her, watching her every moment.

"Mine fun day would start a day before. Wait and watch, don't ask me." The conversation ended as the car entered the driveway of Su Mansion. From a far they could see a lady, dressed in floral long frock, with cut sleeves. Her hand clapped in front of her stomach, elegance dripping from every moment of hers. As expected from the former great- granddaughter of the last Emperor, who left the country on democracy.
