Chapter 212 - Strong And Independent

Soon it was evening. 

Sara stared out the room's window in a daze. A lot was going through her mind and she was beginning to feel nervous. 

"A lot of people are curious about your past. At this rate, you won't s.h.i.+ne for long"

Those were the last words she heard Weiyoung say before she disappeared out of her sight.

Why were they all curious about her past? Shouldn't they be more concerned about the present? 

She only hoped that among those people, Mr Li wasn't included. She bit her fingernail nervously as she thought about all of these. 

She was beginning to get scared. She couldn't remember the last time something scared her this much but this time, she was really scared. Especially now that those people she met at the factory had called her a couple of times to remind her that someone wanted to meet her.

She also suddenly remembered the night she was out on a stroll with Muchen and he had b.u.mped into a man who got angry. What was that about?

He had called her by her name and even apologized to her. She didn't know them neither had she met them before.

She felt like a lot was wrong with her life. She felt like everything about her life had been a lie. 

Why couldn't she just have a normal life? Why couldn't she have the answers to every question just like everyone? Why couldn't she have a smooth life without secrets? 

She wasn't asking for a perfect life. She only wanted to live freely.

She remembered one time when she was younger and had asked her father some questions she had been really curious about..

"Why can't I see any picture of Mummy? What about your wedding pictures? I heard the kids in my cla.s.s saying that in every home, the first thing you see are the wedding pictures of your parents."

Sara had asked him quizzically.

"I already told you. Because we moved, we lost a lot of our things including our pictures. But I'll show you a picture of your mummy when I get one" 

And he had actually given her one and that had been it.

"Daddy....why do everyone keep saying I'm 4 years old when I'm actually 5?" She knew deep down that she wasn't 4. She could also vaguely remember her mother's face and knew she had called her 'mummy' a lot of times. But everyone kept saying her mother died when she was barely a year old. 

Her father then told her to believe what everyone else was saying. "You are 4 not 5!" 

But no matter what, she still felt that something was wrong. She knew deep down that she was currently 25 but everything including her birth certificate proved that she was 24. 

She sighed and moved from the window back to her seat. Her eyes met Heya's eyes that were staring at her intently and she got startled. 

"What are you so deep in thought about?" Heya asked her curiously. 

"Oh.. It's nothing." She lied. 

At home, Jianjun sat on the ground with the little box beside him. Even though Joreen was in the sitting room with Bilike watching a movie with Sara's laptop, he had made sure to lock the room's door so she wouldn't just barge in like Sara did the last time.

His hand picked up a little paper from inside the box.

It was the same card that Sara had been searching for. 

He had seen it among her things one day and was really shocked to find it there.

Why on earth would she have this with her? 

He believed that the best way to keep Sara safe was to make sure his stubborn daughter didn't have anything to do with that woman. He only hoped they hadn't met again somehow. 

He looked at her office address as well as the phone numbers written on it. 

He began to wonder how she was doing.

He wondered whether she had eaten? 

She didn't look too good when he saw her and it had really troubled him.

He gently dropped it back inside the box and took out an old picture of a chubby little girl. It was the 5 years old Sara. 

It was just like yesterday when she was so little and followed him about with too many questions to ask. But now, she was all grown up and really pretty.

He chortled. 

She had always been too inquisitive and at that time, she kept throwing questions at him that he even began to run from her or stay in the restaurant for a long time till she fell asleep.

He was proud of his daughter. He was proud of the woman she grew up to be.

Strong and independent.

He decided to free his mind and allow her do whatever she wished. If she wanted to be with Muchen that badly, then she should. 

He knew this was different from when she dated Jinyong. It was obvious that she really liked Muchen and he was relived that he liked her a lot also. It would have been a problem if it was just a one-sided love on her part. No one knew what Sara would have done if Muchen didn't like her back.

When she was with Jinyong, Sara was very relaxed and did not care much.

He hadn't liked Jinyong because he was one kid with pride unlike Muchen who even entered his kitchen. 

Jinyong simply did whatever he liked and throughout the two years they dated, he only saw him twice.

It was one reason he had been surprised when Muchen suddenly came to ask for permission to take Sara out when he could have easily done whatever he wanted to. 

At first, he had been worried that he wasn't open to Jinyong and that had been the reason Jinyong was also distant.

He just couldn't force himself to like Jinyong after he heard that he was from the Mo family because it made him remember that Changyu had been bethroted to a Mo back then.

No matter what, he was glad Sara separated from him.

He was proud of Hus daughter for choosing the right man. He only hoped, wished, and prayed that things would go smoothly for the both if them.

He remembered he had something to do so he stood up and kept back the little box.

He then took his phone and called Sara.

He was going to make sure that Sara learns proper manners and etiquette.
