Chapter 59: Junxie is awake
Brenda Zu was escorted to a room where her husband was waiting for her. Wanju Zu saw his wife and shook his head. Is this how she had been reduced to in less than 24hours?
He blamed himself for having allowed his wife to interfere with the break up between Junxie Li and his daughter Yolanda Zu.
Brenda's eyes seemed to have gone hollow and her eyes puffy. Her hair unkept and the look of someone who is undergoing depression was written all over her.
"Wanju, get me out of here. You are living in luxury and I am stuck here behind bars.." Brenda Zu angrily said.
Seeing Wanju seated before her, she felt he wasn't trying enough. Otherwise he would have been able to get an attorney to bail her and defend Brian.
"You think I have not been trying enough or that I am comfortable seeing you and my Son locked up in the police station? Everything that is happening to us was as a result of the misuse of your tongue.
Brian is the only heir to the Zu's family and business. He is behind bars and you think things can ever remain the way they used to be?"Wanju Zu snapped at his wife.
If she hadn't insisted that Brian come along to make the Li's family know that Yolanda's parents and sibling care so much about her.
All these wouldn't have happened. She made Brian to come along and also utter words which literally means he should take Julia down and unfortunately, Junxie Li was smart enough to save his brother at the expense of his own life being in danger.
"Then why are you here if not to find a way to get me out?"Brenda Zu demanded. She let her tears loose again and they flowed down her cheeks.
"I couldn't get any attorney to bail you and Brian. That's why I have come to ask you what to do if you don't want Brian to be jailed for attempt murder.
The reputation of the Zu's will be ruined and he would forever remain an ex-convict. How can he Stand among his equals?"Wanju inquired.
Brenda was quiet. Brian's life and future is more important. She thought carefully before arriving at a conclusion.
"We have to agree to the breakup of the engagement and not demand for any compensation. And of course, we can't sever our business ties with the Li's Group otherwise, the Zu Group will bear the brunt.."Brenda suggested.
Wanju sighed audibly. ",I have also been thinking about the same lines of thought over the past few hours. For instance, I couldn't get a reputable attorney to bail you because once I say it's against the Li's family, they all back out.
They would say they don't want to cross paths with that wizard of law Li Guang which is Junxie's Uncle. So I think that is the only option left.
I will go see my friend Cheng Li and plead with him to withdraw charges against you and Brian in exchange for agreeing to the breakup of the engagement with no strings attached since Junxie Li is not dead but only shot and wounded"Wanju Zu declared.
That
Iway the couple agreed on that before Wanju Zu went away. Brenda Zu felt sad and unhappy, but taking that option was better than going to jail.
Molly Mo remained furious and angry and drove till she got to the house. How dare that girl think so highly of herself before her?
Had she forgotten in a hurry who she used to be? Molly Mo dangreded by that girl Theresa?
When has the fox begun to chase the hunter? She was shameless to say she was sharing Lu Jingli with Tiana Mo.
Has she no shame left in her? Where's her piety? She indeed has decided to ruin Tiana in revenge on what happened to her four years ago?
No wonder she refused to be a surrogate Mother. She wants to bear Lu Jingli a child and eventually get everything back that was taken away from her.
She even said it to her face that she would get everything back that was taken away from her. Oh, she had been negligent enough not to have hunted her down and destroyed her completely.
She had underestimated the viciousness in that woman. Looks like she will now stand up and fight Theresa Mo until she's completely destroyed.
She was the one who started the game and now Theresa Mo wants to get to change the game. No, she won't give her a chance to change the game.
Until she's done with Theresa, the game cannot be changed nor can it be declared to be over. The game has just begun Theresa Mo, Molly Mo declared quietly within her.
Theresa Mo closed from the day's work and headed straight to the hospital. She had stayed overtime and tried to finish a few designs before leaving.
By the time she left the company, it was empty of staff except the securities. She didn't even think of going home but going to see Junxie and how far he was recovering.
When she arrived, she heard voices talking cheerfully in the ward. She hesitated to go in or not.
Eventually, she pushed the door open and walked in. On the bed lay Junxie Li with his eyes open. He looked weak but he was awake.
Julia and his parents were standing by and smiled when Theresa pushed the door open. She smiled and her eyes became teary.
Junxie sighted her and smiled. He beckoned to her to come closer and Theresa Mo with heavy footsteps drew closer. She dropped her bag on the floor and went to hug him on the bed.
She bent and hid her face in the nook of his neck and started sobbing. Junxie Li circled his left hand around her upper body and smiled.
"Theresa, why are you sobbing? You should be happy that he came around so soon" Julia Li stated. He can imagine that a new phase has just begun in Junxie's life.
He returned from the office to see that Junxie just woke up. He didn't say anything for quite a few minutes at the time his mother was jubilating and calling his dad that Junxie was awake.
He pressed the button for a doctor to come over and soon two surgeons came into the ward. They examined Junxie and declared him fine.
He only has to be concerned with his wounds getting healed fast. After a few more moments they left.
Junxie blinked again and the first thing he said was "Theresa". He perceived that Junxie truly heard all that Theresa Mo said when he was unconscious.
He told him she's gone to the company and would be back soon. Only then did he look at him and their mother.
As soon as their dad heard that Junxie was awake, he came quickly to the hospital and joined in the happy moments before Theresa arrived.
"That's her way of expressing how excited she is seeing Junxie awake, "Cheng Li replied to his son. He likes the girl Theresa Mo at first sight.
He is not going to object to her being with Junxie. They seemed to care about each other and that's what matters to him now.
"It's Ok Theresa. I will be fine Ok?" Junxie Li said and Theresa sniffled. She raised herself and stared at him. She looked into his eyes and saw he was looking quite fine. Junxie Li smiled when he saw the way she stared at him. Was she examining him? When he woke up a while ago, he seemed not to see clearly.
His vision was blurry and he couldn't recognize anyone. He remembered everything Theresa Mo said and wanted to see her.
His tongue wasn't loose for him to talk so he just remained quiet on the bed. He felt the presence of people around him and was hearing his mother's words of excitement. When his vision became stabilized, he could talk and asked after her first. He kept his eyes on Theresa and carefully he saw her come closer and placed her lips on his..☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
