“When the headquarter has heard about what we have done, they rounded us all for a meeting. We all stood by the wall awaiting our punishment for our actions.”
“It’s not so bad to stand by the wall…”
“Our punishment was not only to be standing alongside the wall, you were too naive. They also whipped us. It doesn’t matter that you come from a higher class family, Once you join the PY gangster, it’s like that you just have signed your consent for life and death, and your life in in their control.”
“It’s very scary.”
The PY gangster is not what she expected it to be, that’s why Sunny seems so confused.
“It will be just fine once we survive this punishment. Being young and energetic led this mistake.These young men will have to suffer the pain of being whipped by bamboo sticks this time.”
“Mr. Andrei, what is going to happen to my mother?”
“Your mother has been out of trouble for a while now, the bully that was harassing your mother had been beaten up and has left your mother in peace for a while.”
“But the peaceful time is indeed short, and it’s not good to tell you little girl what happened, ah, we arrived.”
As Andrei is telling the story, they reach the kitchen.
Sunny is waiting for the right time to flatter Andrei.
“I can just imagine how handsome you were when you were younger Mr. Andrei.”
Sunny flatters Andrei at the right moment which makes him laugh passionately.
“If you knew my little daughter you two would have a lot of fun.”
“Are you talking about Amelia?”
“Have you met her?” He asks in surprise…
Your daughter nearly killed me, that’s all what Sunny is thinking about in mind.
“Yes, we met before, and she’s a very energetic.” Sunny said with a fake smile
“Amelia is the only one who loves and respects me in my family.”
Listening to this, Sunny realizes that there must be a lot of secrets in that big family, when she has the chance to ask, Andrei changes the subject.
“Push me through the door, you two, come in.”
Two siblings, Kevin and Ellison, enter the door with a gloomy face.
Andrei asks Kasper to have a private conversation in a corner.
Kevin takes the opportunity to walk towards Sunny, “Tired?”
Sunny shakes her head, “Not very tired, it’s just whenever I talk to Andrei I feel like he is not who I imagined him to be.”
“Are we on the same page?”
“Well, I thought Andrei to be a dark, mean and devilish man, but whenever we talk to each other, it seems that he is not a villain.”
Kevin is quiet, “But the mother of Bella disappeared the day on the second day, this is the truth. I read it in your father’s diary, he wouldn’t lie about that, would he?”
“I am thinking the same, he either acts and hides things really well, or someone did something for him.”
“Which scenario would you think is more possible?”
Ellison interrupts, “I think it’s the second one.”
Sunny touches the cheek and says, “I feel like Kasper is hiding something, he is being very mysterious after we came, do you feel the same?”
Kevin nods, “When we were outside, Kasper was hiding in the kitchen and peeking at us, his face was pale.”
“Do we have to tell Andrei?”
The question makes two people shake their heads in disapproval.
“Andrei is not stupid. After all of these years being in the family, he must know how to protect himself. But he has to learn a lesson anyway.
Sunny is unaware of what kind of lesson Ellison is talking about, but she feels Andrei is a good and innocent person.
“Ok guys, your call.”
Three people make an agreement, and the conversation between Andrei and Kasper is finally over.
Andrei is pushed to them by Kasper. “You must be hungry after waiting for such a long time, Kasper’s cooking is amazing, you should try it.”
Kasper smiles in modesty and says, “Sir, you overpraise me.”
While sitting down at the dining table, Andrei remembers something and turns to Kasper, “Can you please call all my daughters, I have some news.”
Someone is missing here, “it’s Robin, ask him to come here too.”
Kasper nods and he leaves the room, and Andrei turns to face them all, “Come and taste it, this is Kaspers stir-fried prawns with Dragon Well tea, He is from H city, and he is very skilled at making southern dishes.
The first one who starts to eat is Sunny, she picks up the chopsticks and tries it first, it tastes so good she continues tasting it.
