Someday, I'll bring you home. - Part 2
“Ye-Ye…” lost for words he didn't know what to say, but Grandfather Yang reassured him.
“My good grandson, listen to Ye-Ye’s suggestion. Miss Tong Yue-Yan may seem to be the most compatible woman for you. However, if you have someone else you love deeply, don’t be afraid to bring her home to meet Ye-Ye. Ye-Ye gave you his full support, no matter whom you love.”
Yang Tian-Xu and his grandfather had a good relationship. His grandfather always doted on him. After hearing his grandfather's words, he felt like he could tell his grandfather everything. Before Yang Tian-Xu could open his mouth, Mrs Yang interrupted him. His mother called out, “Tian-Xu! It's getting late; you should take Ms Tong and Yue-Yan home.”
“Yes, mother.” He replied and turned to his grandfather to face him. “Don’t you worry, Ye-Ye. When I met the girl of my dream; I definitely will bring her here to meet you!” he gave a slight head bow to his grandfather and left.
Yang Tian-Xu looked at the time; 9:30 p.m. as it shows on his watch. As he tried to remain quiet the entire trip towards the Tong Family villa. He was driving, so Tong Yue-Yan and her aunt wouldn’t want to disturb him, however, they mentioned delightful things about Grandfather Yang.
Yang Tian-Xu would merely nod his head, and occasionally he would thank them for their kind words. Tong Yue-Yan felt that today wasn’t long enough, but to Yang Tian-Xu today so too long, he can't wait until it's all over. After he dropped them back to the Tong villa. Peace at last, he can drive home alone without being pried at. His parents was to stay with Grandfather Yang for the weekend, so Yang Tian-Xu had the Yang Family Estate to himself, by the time he reached home it was already 11:05 p.m.
The western architecture of the Yang Family manor in the city differed completely from Tian-Bo-Fu. Instead of being traditional and grand, it is just a fancy modern mansion on top of a hill. With two live-in maids on the clock 24/7, one or two part-timers come in and out from the back door, cleaning, gardening and cooking for him and his parents. However, at night-time, the manor becomes a big empty house.
After a long day, Yang Tian-Xu headed for a quick shower to freshen up. Afterwards, he got out of his private washroom, and he was drying his hair with a towel around his neck. As he sat down at his desk, he opens his laptop and checks his emails. Assistant Tseng had sent him a detailed report about each student that was interview today. He even sent attached documents to his most recommended students. There was Wang Yi-An’s name on his most recommended applicant lists.
It was a shame that there were no photos, however, unlike other companies, at Yang Corps, they do not need the applicator to attach their photo. Yang Corps isn't about looking good, but talents. They need a capable employee, not a pretty ornament. However, that didn’t mean they can’t or would discourage those who want to attach a portrait to send in with their application. Some applicant had photos some didn’t. The images did not appeal to Yang Tian-Xu, he first looked at the recommended ones by his assistant instead of reading through the entire reports. He messaged his Assistant on his smartphone and said, “Okay, send them an official letter.”
It might be late, but his assistant is always on alert, as soon as he received the message. He messages back, “Yes, sir!” Then Assistant Tseng would jump out of his bed, accidentally waking his wife up, supposed to be asleep beside him, and confused she asked him. “What’s wrong?” as she was still half-awake.
Tseng Kuan-Yin patted her back and told her, “Nothing, it’s work. Just go back to sleep, babe.” after she heard his reply, she would return to her sleep. He looked over at this sleeping wife and gave her a kiss before he went over to his desk. He opened his laptop, and with his already drafted emails, he immediately clicks on the send button, he was fast and efficient. Then took his cell phone, and he sent another message to President Yang. “Okay boss! All sent!”
Yang Tian-Xu replied from his phone, “Okay. Have a good rest.”
“You too boss!” Assistant Tseng breaths out, as he felt the burden lifted from his chest. He climbs back inside his bed and held his wife in his arms as he rubbed her big round belly.
With the last message sent to him from Assistant Tseng, he didn't bother replying. Yang Tian-Xu drops his entire body down on his bed, the silent gave him peace. It was already late, the day may make his body tired, but his mind was still awake. He thought, “If only my family would like you too,” with those thoughts he gradually fell asleep.
Wang Yi-An wakes up from the alarm that went off at 6:00 a.m. sharp. She got out of bed; hit the shower while she brushes her teeth under the hot running water, she got ready fast within 15 minutes.
Hair still wet as she rushed to dried them with a single towel. Regardless of how damp her hair was, she sped out of the house. On a usual school day, she would have grabbed two bags of the prepared food she made last night and place them in her lunch bag, but because it was a Saturday. No school and only work, her workplace was at a restaurant and the owner provides her food; making her unpack lunch unnecessary. It was 6:20 a.m. her mother had already left the house at 5:30 a.m. for work.
Wang Yi-An’s mother work at a walk-in clinic as a receptionist. The clinic opens every day, 24/7, and her mother would have to start her shifts at 6:00 a.m every day. The clinic was only about a 15-minute ride from their home, but they don't drive so taking the bus requires them to be early.
