Kong mengrui POV
I woke up early and let out a sigh, I pick up my phone sending a quick text I need someone to talk to, meet me at school ASAP I knew he wasn't going to be up yet so I put my phone back on my desk and headed for a shower in my joined bathroom
once I was done I wrapped the towel around my waist and headed back to my room, taking a pair of cream jeans and a white shirt, getting dressed I plugged in my hairdryer before checking my phone Sure thing, 10mins before class or do you need more time was the response he gave, I think it over for a minute while I dry my hair before texting back we might need more time then that father has gone insane within a few seconds of sending that text my phone lets out a ping see you in half an hour
I looked at the time and raised my eyebrow "that gives us an hour before class" rolling my eyes I simply don't reply and brushed my hair, it's long, it reaches just below my shoulder blade, long black and silky just like my mothers, after brushing it out I tie it in a loose band just to hold it back from falling over my face.
I shrug on a grey blazer and head downstairs to the kitchen where my mother stood making breakfast "morning mother" I say with a sweet pleasant smile, embracing her in a gentle hug,
mother had been getting tired a lot lately so a few months ago my father took over the company, needing excessive help from me, mother knows I help a lot, we don't know what is wrong with her, we have been to the doctors but she refuses to have any sort of scans or injections so it's hard for them to find out what exactly is wrong, she told them how she feels but despite their conclusions of symptoms she still refuses the tests, she takes some medication for the pain but only if I force her to when I can see she's in pain, she hates medications
I take a seat at the large table in the dining area, it's big enough probably to fit about 12 people at the table, despite their being only 3 of us here mother use to have meetings here with clients, we also have someone come just to check on mother when we are not around, but we told her it was someone to help clean or keep her company, Mother has friends but are often working
Father walks in and I shoot him a glare, he lowers his head and looks away from me, I let out a sigh, he pissed me off last night, my mother brings breakfast in and we sit down to eat, after that I got up "I have to head out early today, I'm meeting Brother Dang Dianfa" my mother smiled at nodded and I gave her a quick hug, I went to the door and put on my white shoes and headed out to school
in 10 minutes I arrive at the school and sit on one of the benches outside, under a large blossom tree, It's near winter so it's not in bloom but being by the tree brings me a calm feeling, I was staring up at the naked branches of the tree and didn't see Dang Dianfa walk up, I let out a scream as he jumped on me, my voice went quiet when he put his hand over my mouth laughing
he's a bit taller than me but not much, my family is short even if I outgrew my parents, I'm still shorter than most of the people I know, he had short black hair that hung down all around his head, the front just above his coffee brown eyes, he smiled at me and stood up "So what the crazy fool do this time to the company "
I look up at him with a sad expression "Oh nothing, yet..... he just wants to marry his only child to some stranger to make a larger family business and yet not even tell me anything about them, Mother doesn't even know, and he doesn't want her to know till after the wedding" Dong Dianfa was staring at me with a completely blank expression, I'm not sure if he's in complete shock or if he's trying to figure out if I was joking or not
after a few minutes of silence, he reaches up and scratches the back of his neck letting out a nervous chuckle, I guess he could tell I wasn't joking "wow you are right, he has gone insane, why don't you just decline?"
