18 Song Changyu

Muchen was still driving when he suddenly received a call from an unknown number. They were only a few people who had his private number so he was rather curious who the person was. He connected the call to his headset and answered it.

"Hello big bro"

Muchen heard Li Minde's excited voice.

"I heard you got back yesterday, you finally remember you have a brother" Muchen almost laughed when he realised he was sounding like his mother,Jiang Dana.

"I had bad jet lag after the trip. A man has to rest" He chuckled then continued

"Tonight's my welcome back party. Same place, same time."

"You always need an excuse to throw parties" Muchen said.

When he heard Li Minde was back, he had expected this invitation.

Minde laughed. "You make it sound like it's a bad thing. You better not miss it! I have real gist for you"

"What's it about?" He asked.

"Come and I'll tell you everything"

"If you are not telling me now, then forget it!" Muchen threatened.

"Alright, alright, fine! How petty. Geez... Well, guess who I saw on the plane?"

"I'm not in the mood" Muchen said straightforwardly.

"Well, whatever, I saw Song Changyu! She was so stunning God! Prettier than her photos on the net. I think she is finally back" He spoke excitedly.

"Song Changyu?..." When he heard her name, He braked suddenly and parked by the side of the road.

Are you really sure?" Muchen asked curiously.

"Of course, I remember her from her pictures on the net. I have never seen any woman as pretty as her. Even in her forties her beauty could still rival those in their twenties so why won't I remember her? I even followed her as soon as we landed and I heard her speaking on the phone with someone that she was heading to the Song family's estate. It was really her."

"Why didn't you tell me immediately?." Muchen asked in frustration.

He started the car again and began to drive. "I'm sorry. I won't be able to attend your party. I need to look for a way to meet with her before someone else does" He said as he increased his speed.

"Bro, you duped me! Don't do this to me please" Minde begged.

"Don't worry, You can go on with your party. Tell Uncle and Aunt that I will be in attendance. If you do not cause trouble, I will cover for you when they call"

Minde was seen as the black sheep of the family. He was banned from having parties except Muchen was also going to be there.

So whenever he was having a party, no matter how little it was, he always looked for a way to bribe or cajole Muchen into going so his parents wouldn't think much of it.

It didn't matter if he was going to attend or not. The most important thing was for Muchen to be able to cover for him whenever his parents called him.

"Alright bro! Then I'll come see you tomorrow" Minde said happily.

Muchen was about to hang up when he suddenly remembered something.

"Don't you think its high time you change your usual location? The last two times I went there with you, things didn't end well" He advised.

Minde laughed when he heard his cousin. "Don't worry bro, I tightened the security this time"

The first time Muchen went there with him, was the day he met Sara.  Remembering how she had been sitting in his car a while back, a little smile appeared on his face.

The second time Minde invited him out, he went there with the hope of seeing Sara again, but the worse happened. It so happened that Minde also broke up with Changru a month after the previous incident. So, she barged in on them and had an all-out brawl with the new girlfriend of Minde. With both screaming and pulling each other's hair.

The former excitement Muchen had when he was going there suddenly died when he witnessed this scene.

He quickly called the security to throw both girls out and also left the place in annoyance. He vowed never to return there after that incident.

When Minde's parents heard about the incident that happened, with all the pent-up anger they had been suppressing, they finally sent him abroad to go stay with his maternal uncle who was an army general.

As soon as his plane landed, they realised he had not boarded the plane and was no where to be found. He threatened to kill himself if they forced him there and since then, they let the 25years old baby be. He found a new hobby in the country he was hiding and refused to return home for over a year until now. No one was surprised that the first thing he was doing after coming back was to throw a party.

Li Muchen really pitied his uncle and aunt for having a son like Minde.

"Alright, I'll hang up now. Do not make uncle and Aunt worry" After speaking, he hung up abruptly.

He was about to call Ms Long when he suddenly saw an incoming call from her.

"CEO Li, Miss Song Changyu is in the country currently"

He was startled when he heard her speak.

He just received the news from Minde and they had been no media outlet that carried the news. It meant they had taken special measures to seal off the media from carrying it.

"How did you find out?"

When Ms Long heard his question, she was able to deduce that he was already aware from another source.

"I think someone who recognised her at the airport took a picture of her secretly. It was posted online this afternoon and had been circulating on the internet"

"Damn!.." Muchen hit his steering wheel hard as he increased his speed.

If this psycho of a cousin had told him earlier, it would have been easier. Now, everyone knew, This was bad for him!

"Try to secure a meeting with her. I'll be in the office shortly!"

It was a good thing he had ordered Ms Long to clear his entire schedule for today. He would have to focus on booking an appointment with Song Changyu.

***

Joreen who was busy reading the latest news about G-Global with Sara's laptop in the living room, suddenly asked.

"Who is this Song Changyu? Her news has been everywhere since this afternoon"

Jianjun who just entered from the kitchen suddenly dropped the cup he was holding.

Sara, who was braiding Joreen's hair and Joreen were both startled by the sound of a clattering glass. They both turned to look at him. He was still standing there like a statue.

"Did you say Song Changyu?" He suddenly asked Joreen.

She blinked at him and nodded slightly.

He moved slowly to where she was and looked at the laptop's screen. And on the screen, had the image of a very pretty woman.
