Chapter 11

A year later

....

"Aunt Lihua, I finished my assignment help me check is it okay" Yingbao said opening her school book on Chen Lihua's Lap

"Oh my little Yingbao is so smart, you are absolutely right", Chen Lihua praised with a doting smile and the little girl blushed

"Come on go pack up your bags and see if your grandma needs any help in the kitchen",

"Okay Aunt", Yingbao said and ran out of the room with her books in her hands.

Chen Lihua watched her run out of the room with a happy smile before turning to look at the clock on the wall.

"It was already 4:pm, Zixi should be back soon", she murmured to herself and just at that moment Chen Zixi walked in through the door

"Big Sister", he shouted with a happy smile and knelt before Chen Lihua, Chen Lihua looked at her little brother excited face and back at the group of teenage girls outside their house door downstairs before bursting into a huge round of laughter, her brother was so good looking he could put those A list actors to shame, no wonder so many girls in and out of his college were always running after him, most of them had even followed him to the house doors before, she was really afraid her brother would be gang raped one day if care was not taken.

"What are you looking at Sister?", Chen Zixi asked pulling her out of her thoughts, he grabbed her wheelchair from the back and pushed her out of the room for her daily stroll.

"I am thinking about how those girls keep on following you home everyday without missing it for once its like a routine to them but you don't even look at them, poor girls", Chen Lihua said in a sympathetic tone but it sounded more like she was making fun of the situation.

"But I don't understand something Zixi, if you determinedly refuse to give them face it only means one thing", she turned her head to look at him

"You are committed, right?", Chen Lihua said to him with a teasing grin and Chen Zixi could feel blood rush to his face.

"But when would you introduce your girlfriend to me", Chen Lihua said casually but Chen Zixi choked on his saliva and coughed vigorously

"So you really do have a girlfriend, I have been wondering why you seem to be coming back late this days, bring her home let me meet her", Chen Lihua said excitedly and Chen Zixi face had already turned crimson red under his sister's teasing.

"Keep quiet Cherry", he scolded trying to hide the red color of his cheeks and ears

"I will stop it just bring her home, will you?", Chen Lihua asked and Chen Zixi immediately let go of her wheelchair

"I will go get some water, I am feeling thirsty", he said and ran into the departmental store nearby leaving Chen Lihua to laugh on her own.

"Is that not the Legendary goddess of Showbiz rumored to have died almost two years ago, Chen Lihua" a man in a yellow turtleneck tshirt with white pants and sneakers coming out of a showroom murmured looking at the woman sitting on the wheelchair opposite where he was standing

"Its definitely her, oh my this is big news, she is alive here in Boston", the man kept on looking at Chen Lihua to make sure he didn't see wrong and it was her he couldn't be mistaken, her gorgeous and cold face that could easily make men trip was still as beautiful as he last remembered, he whistled happily before jumping into his black Range Rover parked on the side of the road.

He picked up his phone and dialed a number, it was picked on the third ring.

"Zihan", he yelled into the phone, the man on the other side calmly swiveled the chair to face the the ceiling to floor windows in his sitting room

"What", the man replied lazily playing with the pen In his hands

"Zihan you won't believe what I found out", Yan Jingshen said still looking at Chen Lihua who was now playing with a group of kids.

"Since I won't believe it just hangup", Jiang Zihan said about to drop the call but Yan Jingshen let out a shriek

"Wait Zihan hear me out",

"I was doing something extremely important before you called Yan Jingshen so this better be something serious", the man on the chair was wearing a black tshirt and white pants, his sleeves were rolled to his elbows and the first few buttons of his shirt were opened, his hair was also disheveled but it couldn't hide the noble and elegant aura he gave off, he gave off a temperament and disposition that screamed wealth and grace, he had a face that could put the greek male gods to shame and could make normal people want to puke blood out of jealousy.

It was like he was a carefully crafted piece of art, he had gorgeous eyebrows and pitch black eyes that seemed to have the ability of seeing through ones soul, the mole below his right eye added a different kind of charm and sexiness to his already captivating silhouette, every single piece of his being was made to perfection.

"It's is extremely important as well Zihan, I just saw.... Chen Lihua" Yan Jingshen informed excitedly like a man who just discovered a rare treasure, Jiang Zihan dropped his pen and stood up abruptly from the chair he was sitting on

"What.... you saw who?", he asked dumbfounded

"I just saw Chen Lihua, the Goddess of showbiz rumored to have died almost two years ago", Yan Jingshen informed beaming happily he really deserved a price for this huge discovery

"Chen Lihua, where", Jiang Zihan asked and before he could hear an answer the call was dropped, he tried to call back but the phone was suddenly switched off.

"Oh no, why did my phone have to die now. I will go home and charge it", Yan Jingshen murmured and took one last look at the woman on the wheelchair whom a young teenage boy was already pushing away from the departmental stores, he started his car engine and zoomed out of the area he had to talk to Jiang Zihan right now, "Chen Lihua is alive so unbelievable"

Jiang Zihan kept on pacing around the room waiting for Yan Jingshen to call back.

"Chen Lihua", "Chen Lihua" the name kept on ringing In his ears his heart had shattered to more than a thousand pieces when he heard of her death 19 months ago and no one knew how he barely passed through that phase alive and now Chen Lihua was alive he had to see her as soon as possible.

He used the intercom in his room and made a call a few minutes later a young man in a half asleep state opened the door

"Where did Yan Jingshen say he was going", Jiang Zihan immediately asked the sleepy man standing by his room door once he entered

"Is that why you woke me up in the middle of the night", the man complained but was met by Jiang Zihan's hard glare

"He said he was going to Beijing", The young man said attempting to sit on the couch in the room.

"Get up right now and prepare the jet, we are going to China", Jiang Zihan said and all the sleepiness in the other man's eyes disappeared in an instant

"Are you okay Zihan?, Beijing as in China. You haven't gone there in five years and your grandpa is definitely going to put you on house arrest the moment you step foot there, don't get me into trouble with you.", the man said standing up abruptly he was really afraid of Master Jiang.

"I didn't ask you to tell me the consequences just prepare the jet and do everything you can so that my grandpa doesn't find out am in the country. Got it" Jiang Zihan said and ran to his bedroom leaving the young man dumbfounded.

A few hours later a private jet took off from Paris International Airport headed to China.

"Ji Yicheng, for how many hours can you hold my grandpa for", Jiang Zihan asked looking out of the plane window

"For just three hours, no more than that", Ji Yicheng replied trying to get some more sleep before the Jet landed

"Call Mike I need someone's background check to be done from when she was born to now. I need everything single details" Jiang Zihan said still looking out of the window

"I want to sleep Zihan.... who is the person", Ji Yicheng said opening his eyes again

"Chen Lihua", Jiang Zihan replied and Ji Yicheng would have jumped out of the chair if not for the seatbelt holding him in place

"Who?, Chen Lihua, which Chen Lihua?", he asked and Jiang Zihan just nodded confirming his thoughts

"Are you crazy you need a ghost's background check, Chen Lihua is already dead", Ji Yicheng yelled looking at Jiang Zihan like he gained multiple heads.

"When are you going to let go", Ji Yicheng stared at his friend sympathetically.

"Just inform Mike he knows what to do", Jiang Zihan said and closed his eyes laying his head on the headrest, even though he wasn't sleeping it was obvious he didn't want to listen to Ji Yicheng's questions any longer.
