The day Hong Ruolan was to leave for HongSheng Holdings, her mother put up so much fuss, despite deciding that it was the best course of action for her daughter to learn the company ropes and become the take over from her father in the nearest future .

The whole Hong clan gathered downstairs in the glamorously furnished living room to say their goodbyes to each other . Hong Ruolan was dressed in a dark long sleeved blouse with a bow at the top and a dark coat draped over her shoulders and dark pants, the earrings she wore was the one her mother just got for her on their recent trip to the jeweler, a long dangling triangular gold earring with a sapphire shaped like teardrops at the center .

On her left hand was a silver watch that looked more like a metallic bracelet, its circular surface had tiny diamond stone on each hour hand, wearing each foot a dark platform shoe . Madam Hong specially woke up early to apply her daughter's makeup, which game her almond eyes a sophisticated look, but at the same time ideal for office use . Dark long straight hair rested against the side of her face .

Hong Lian and the President of Hongsheng holdings were both dressed in corporate black suits and tie, each wore leather dark shoes on their feet . Madam Hong wore a glittering olive gown that reached her knees, on both earlobes was a gold looped earring, her face was carefully made up . She wore sparkling green half shoe on each foot .

"My dear . . dear daughter, how I'm going to miss you, the house would look empty without you…"

That was when Madam Hong busted into tears, when the thought dawned on her that there was no that would follow her each time, she went out on one of her shopping trips .

"I'll come home at least once a month Mom! Stop crying, I'm about to cry too . "

Hong Ruolan held her mother in a tight hug, the two were in that position for a while until a cough from her father made them both separate reluctantly .

"Make sure you come back home, okay?"

"Yes Mom! I'll return home along with Lian . "

"You too Lian! Make sure that your sister shows up and not only you . "

"Liena! What are you talking about? Of course, Lian knows that he wouldn't be coming back without bringing Ruolan with him, stop with all this nonsense . "

"But . . But . . What if . . "

"Enough! Lian make sure to look after your sister well and report to me directly on her progress . "

Hong Yongrui looked pointedly at his son, making sure he understood the meaning behind the words he spoke, Hong Lian nodded back in response to the words of admonition from his father .

"And you! Ruolan! Stop putting your head in the clouds! Listen and learn fast, n.o.body is going to baby you over there, even if you are my daughter . Do you understand?!"

"Yes Father! I would do my very best not to disappoint you and mom . "

Hong Ruolan's eyes were almost br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears, but she fought not to cry, as this would make her mother very upset and also cry along with her, the President of Hongsheng holdings watched as his daughter curtsied to both him and his wife, before raising her head up again . Afterwards, Hong Yongrui decided to have the final say .

"Okay! Is everyone ready?"

Too chocked up with emotion, Madam Hong nodded and the rest of them followed suit .

"Bye, Bye!"

All four said the words of farewell to each other, Lian stepped to the side to allow his sister to walk in front, before turning to follow her behind, the two left the Hong Chateau with Lian being the driver and Ruolan at the front pa.s.senger seat . The maids had earlier loaded the trunk of the luxurious dark car with their suitcases . The car drove out of Hong Chateau on a two-hour trip to the branch office at HaiQiao District .
