Uncle

Chi Lian was not aware of all this. She was just arriving at home, tired, hungry and sore.

"Welcome back young miss." The butler greeted her cheerfully when he saw her.

"Thank you." She replied and yawned. "Is anyone at home?"

"Your brothers went to work and all the elders went to tea shop to discuss your engagement party."

His words spiked a memory in the back of her mind, her mother saying something about an official meeting between the families.

"Shouldn't they have gone to a hotel?" she mumbled.

"The old madam said that we should not give the money to someone else when our family has the perfect spot for holding the meeting." The butler explained even though her question was not specifically aimed at him.

She was too lazy to upstairs so she just went to the living room and threw herself into the sofa face first.

"Miss," the butler called her with some hint of worry in his voice.
