CHAPTER 16 (1)

Chang Heng's past -1.

10 years ago.

Year 2011.

“Waaaaaaaah!!! Daddy, where are you! Please don't leave me alone.”

Who the hell is that?

I looked around for a while and I grabbed on my butler's shirt. For some odd reasons, I find myself being intrigued with that girl. Looks like she needs some help. I may not look like it, but I'm actually a considerate person you know. I suddenly look at the girl and pointed at her, “Butler Feng, let's help her.” I didn't know what's gotten to me,, but I wanted to help her. Plus, Beijing is a big place, she might end up getting lost if she's alone. I guess we should just help her. And why the hell is she alone anyway? Where's her parents?

“I guess you can be nicer to some people, master.” He answered me, and I simply glared at him.

He was really able to knew everything about me, isn't he? Especially when that bitchy fiancée of mine was ruining my day. I know that I might be too much and I shouldn't have said this towards a girl, but I just seriously hate that Margaux. I already knew that I was forced to arranged marriage with her because of the sake of the company. They just decided to pick some random girl without even consulting me. My father really thinks that he can just control me when he wanted to. He didn't even dare to ask what I should feel on this. If it was like this, then he shouldn't have to treat me like his favorite son because I don't need this kind of attention.

What will I even do to those attentions that I got if my freedom is at risk? This wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t because of my twin brother. I know that he hates me so much, and he can never accept me no matter what. And he would always hate me, as long as I lived. I’ve been living in this kind of discrimination because of this society and because of how cruel this world was supposed to be. Yet I’m trying to be strong regardless of how those people would think about me. I needed to be strong, I’m the older brother after all.

“Master Chang, we need to--” Butler Feng couldn’t finish what he was supposed to say but I just glared at him. “Do I look like I even give a crap about that? I’m not gonna even enjoy myself there after all I just have to pretend like my family was complete even it’s not! And we know that we’re just gonna talk about our status and some business affairs in those investors after all so I’m not going there! My father didn’t do anything but treat me as a tool...and because of that Cheng will always bully because of that reason. Just for one time, I just wanted to do something useful even once. And that will only happen if my family isn’t here! If you’re not gonna obey me then you’ll be dead. Who knows what dad will do if something happened to you. You can’t stop me from saving that girl! Go away!” I said irritatedly and I quickly slapped Butler Feng’s hand away from me and I quickly ran towards the girl. I was so deeply worried about her.

And right now, I just simply want to save her.

I decided to get close to the girl and I didn’t notice the motor was going too fast yet the girl got closer to me and she decided to save me instead. She looked so pretty. She got long hair, a slender body and she got fair white skin. She has a baby face but she looks so intimidating. And if there’s one thing to describe her, if you’d ever gonna piss her off she will immediately get this usual bitch face to shut you up. But I guess she was just like that after all. Her eyes were golden brown and she looked like a half. A French-Japanese, I supposed. My cheeks got flustered as soon as I stared at the girl. My cheeks got flustered as soon as I stared at the girl. But she suddenly got mad at me and started scolding me instead. But I couldn't understand what is she saying, perhaps she's talking to me in the Japanese Language.

“Uhh...what?” I asked

She wiped her tears and wiped off the dirt from her face as well, “You didn’t understand Japanese then? Fine, I’ll talk to you in a way that you’ll understand. I’m gonna speak in English so you better listen bud. I just told you that are you crazy? You wanna die, huh!? Why did you do that? You’re crazy for charging like that!” She shouted at me and she cried so loudly and I just frowned at her.

'Is she looking down at me? I might be a 12 years old kid, but I'm smarter than her, you know. I know many different languages. Furthermore, I can even speak Korean, Chinese, French, German, and British.' I suddenly thought about it and I crossed my arms towards the girl. And she dares to call me crazy? Ha! For all she knows, I'm the son of the President of the company. I'm not just a simple man. Despite how I look, I can say that I can compete when it comes to intelligence. I got closer to her and gripped her face, “Hey, you damn kid. You should be thankful enough that the heir of the Wei family was kind enough to save you.”

What I really hate is that someone was acting high and mightier than me. And someone like her, who's very loud. She's irritating. It's just that I hate it when someone beats me like this too easily. This has never happened before. And I wanted to remain a perfect son like how he wanted me to be. I can't let my emotions ruined by someone. He expects a lot to me,, so I don't have time to think about my emotions. It's too complicated, this is why I never want to think about my family status. Maybe this is the reason I have a lot of pride. Because I want to show him that I can live up with his expectations. No one can get close to me that easily, so this girl is lucky that I even got closer to her.

“So what?” She suddenly asked me and I gulped at her. Is she for real? No one dares to talk back to me like this apart from my brother. She's the first person whoever dares to fight back like this. Because if it's another person, they would probably run away from me once they saw me. They knew that they will meet their doom if they fight me. But that woman? She's not even scared of me. She wouldn't care who I am. The girl just sighed at me, and she got closer to me, and she pulled my cheeks, “Hey you. What you really did was too dangerous. You shouldn't have done that!” She shouted at me, and she started crying out of the sudden.

“SHUUUUUUUUT UP!!” I suddenly shouted at her and I scratched my hair and I sighed, “Can you please stop crying already?”

What's wrong with her? Why did she suddenly get closer to me like that? I don't know why… I'm really starting to hate her guts! And why do I have to be so flustered with this girl? Damn it. Butler Feng suddenly shook his head and he got closer to us, and he sighed deeply, “Why did you fight with her Master? I thought that you're going to help her. Come here, little girl.” I pouted suddenly, and I hissed at them. Now great, I was seen as the bad guy now? I wouldn't have to be scolded if it wasn't because of that girl.

And why is she crying anyway? What's with her, honestly? I just hate some noises, and I'm not used to it. Especially to that girl's loud voice. Butler Feng stared at us both, and he started laughing. Tch, I know what's he thinking immediately.

Of all people, if there's one person who understands me the best, it will be him. He can really read my real emotions, isn't he? Maybe because he has been taking care of me ever since I was a baby. And this is actually the first time that I let out my real emotions to some girl that I just met. I wasn't even like this before. In front of dad and towards other people this is the first time that I become true to my feelings because normally, I would just be quiet and minding my own business and I will just study and trying not to care about my surroundings. I always look so cold towards other people, and I just decided to endure all the insults that I received from my brother and to the other people who bullied me. I'm not the type of person who used to open up with other people and to tell you the truth I was so alone, and I usually prefer in my room because that's the only place that I can let out all my emotions, whether I was sad or happy.
