18 TAKE THEM BACK

The conversation between Wang Reiji and William Chong was abruptly interrupted when Butler Quan approached them and informed them that dinner is ready.

"Let's not make the food wait for us. "

Chairman Qin smiled as he lead his guests toward the dining hall.

Wang Reiji and the old men nod their heads in agreement.

A smell of aromatic flavors have filled the air inside the dining hall. Authentic Chinese and Japanese food were already served on the long table.

"Whoa! There are so many dishes, I wonder which one should I stuff into my mouth first. " Qin Rong exclaimed with excitement upon seeing the feast before him.

The dishes on the table were indeed the pride of the Japanese and Chinese cuisine.

Chinese dishes that were served include: Pecking Roasted Duck, Spring Rolls, Chee Pow Kai, Pak Cham Kai, and Wa Tan Hor.

While the Japanese dishes were Yakitori, Kabayaki, varities of Sushi, Kobe, Sukiyaki and Gyutanyaki.

There were also varities of drinks to choose from.

After offering their meals to Buddha, they started eating.

The hall was filled with sounds of clanging plates and silverware rattlings.

Midway through the dinner, Chairman Qin stood up and delivered a speech.

"My dear friends, thank you for sharing this night with us. There are two reasons why this feast was prepared. First is of course to celebrate Wang Reiji's return to Beijing. We all know that my sworn brother Isamu Ashikaga, or should I say Wang Dai Zhuo, adopted Reiji and YuVin five years ago. Isamu then decided to migrate to the west together with his kids to give them a fresh start. "

Chairman Qin paused. He turned his gaze to Wang Reiji and smiled broadly.

Wang Reiji in return, bowed then smiled to the Chairman.

After exchanging glances, Chairman Qin continued.

"I know you don't have lots of good experiences here in Beijing, child. Most of your heart aches and heart breaks happened here."

Chairman Qin started to become emotional as tears welled up in his eyes. He pinched them with his fingers in attempt to stop them from falling down.

"I was really against Isamu's decision of migration. I told him it's not good to run away from your demons. You must face them head on. Because no matter how far you go, they can always catch up to you."

Chairman Qin paused again and flashed a bitter smile.

"But Isamu told me that you guys were not running away. He was just preparing you. He wanted you and YuVin to toughen up... so when it's time for you to face your demons, you guys are ready."

The lively atmosphere inside the dining hall earlier, suddenly felt heavy.

"I know you don't intend to settle here in Beijing. Once you established your business, you will leave right away. But Reiji, isn't this the time for you to take back all the pieces you broke and fix yourself? "

Wang Reiji gulped a sob. Is she ready for an epic comeback?
