SHE WAS WRONG

After the successful albeit disastrous meeting with Lu Liang, Hu Lei rode her motorcycle back to the Westend apartment, took a shower and dressed up nicely. She was a bit nervous about meeting Fai again and explaining things to him. The least she could do was look presentable and mature. If she knew Zhong Feng as well as she did, she knew that he would not be forthcoming with the boy.

She mulled about the situation.

Could she tell Fai the true story about her and their father? What was even the true story? Could she justify the reason he had grown up in such conditions while he had two able parents walking the surface of the earth? And could she promise him that she could be the guardian he deserved?

A little voice in her, like a cold serpent, answered: no.
