Chapter 14 - Brothers Love
"Mishi, it has been a long time since I came to your house," said Bai. "But why are your hands injured ?," asked Bai with a worried look.
"Bai, I just fell and some broken glass pieces pierced in my skin," muttered Mishi.
"Well I'm here because I want to tell you something good," said Bai and sat on the sofa there.
"What?," asked Mishi excitedly.
"Lui Lan proposed to me yesterday for the marriage,'' mumbled Bai smiling.
"What? Omg. Congrats Bai," mumbled Mishi and happily hugged her. "I was so shocked. I mean he proposed to me there in front of all the businessmen and women there," said Bai while smiling.
"Lui Lan is a good guy. It's good that he proposed to you. I think it has been 6 years you're together so it's good to have a marriage now," muttered Mishi and smiled. "Tell me when is the wedding?," asked Mishi.
"This Saturday. You've to come. I mean you're my bridesmaid," murmured Bai.
"Of course I'm going to come." Mishi told her and again hugged her.
"Lui has sent some gifts for you and little siblings. Please accept it because it's from his side," stated Bai. "Mishi we both love you and your siblings. Lui really adores them so please take these bags," insisted Bai handing her the bags. Mishi thanked her and put them on the table.
"So today we can have lunch together," mumbled Mishi.
"Yeah I want to eat you but today his parents are coming with him for lunch with me. We can eat tomorrow," Bai told her and looked at her watch.
"Yes of course. You're going to marry so of course you should get adjusted with them," muttered Mishi and smiled.
"I love you Mishi. Okay I've to go because the restaurant is quite far from here," said Bai and got up from the sofa.
"Ok. Wait I've packed handmade food for you so you've to take that Tiffin with you," murmured Mishi and went to the kitchen. She brought the tiffin box and handed that to Bai.
"Your hands have magic Mishi. I mean you make such tasty food. Lui also loved it last time. Ok then see you bye and take care," said Bai and walked towards the door.
"Okay. Now go else you'll be going to be late," murmured Mishi. Bai walked out of her house waving at her. Mishi closed the door and put the bags inside the room.

After clearing his schedule Xian rested on the couch in his office. He was thinking about the things Chang told him in the morning.
"I can't fire her. She has the potential in her so I don't think for my personal grudge against her I should do that," thought Xian in his mind. He got up from the couch, picked his car keys from the table and walked out of his office.
Mishi just finished her lunch and is looking for a job sitting on the sofa living room when the doorbell rang. She put aside her laptop and walked towards the door to open it up. As soon as she opened it she regretted it because it was Xian. She closed the door but Xian stepped inside the door pushing it.
"We were clear in the morning that it's our last meet," said Mishi angrily.
Xian didn't reply and got seated on the sofa. His eyes fell on the laptop and the job site she has opened up.
"So you're already looking for a job?," asked Xian.
"Yes. I have to do that for survival," snapped Mishi at him.
"You don't have to. I can't fire you," stated Xian.
"Why? I told you I will pay off your every single penny," Mishi angrily put her point.
"How can I believe that? I mean you have no jobs in your hand and I don't think someone will pay you 1000s of dollars job. So I can't take that risk. You will work in my company," muttered Xian and crossed his legs.
Before she could say anything Xian said, "You can't back off because you've no money at this moment to pay me. So you won't leave the job as my P.A."
"Then assure me that you won't do that thing again with me," said Mishi.
" I won't," mumbled Xian. "Take a good rest till this Friday, then on Saturday you can start working." Xian explained to her.
"Sorry, I can't work on this Saturday", said Mishi crossing her arms.
"Why?" Xian asked the reason.
"My friend is getting married so I've to go there," said Mishi.
"Who?"
"What do you mean by who? I don't think I should tell that," said Mishi, glaring at him.
"I understand. Then from Monday you can continue working," said Xian and got up from the couch. He walked towards her and stopped. "Mishi I'm sorry," saying this Xian turned himself and left her house.

"What? Really?," asked Juan Qi from Chunhua.
"Yes. Brother Xian is friends with me," said Chunhua and giggled. Fui Ji said, "how can we believe that? I mean you don't have any picture with him."
"Then don't believe," said Chunhua and smiled. Chang and Xu were going to the class when Binli ran to him and stopped in front of him. Chang stepped back.
"Chang, is it true that you are friends with Brother Xian Zhang," asked Binli. Juan and Fui Ji also looked at Chang to know the truth.
"Chunhua, come here," said Chang and walked away. "Chang, answer first," shouted Binli in the corridor but he disappeared among many students there.
"Chunhua, why are you telling this thing to everyone? He's not a normal person. It can affect his personal life," said Chang's making her understand.
"Okay I won't tell," said Chunhua.
"Focus on your studies. Let's go, break is almost over," said Chang. They both walked towards the class when their homeroom teacher called Chang's name. Hearing his name he turned back.
"Chang, there's a competition on this Friday. So I'm suggesting your name and Xu. If you've any other student in your mind you can give me one more name as it's a 3 member competition. Tell me after school gets over," said the teacher and walked away. He nodded and went inside the class.
Since there are still 5 minutes left to start the class he thought to make an announcement of this. He told his classmates about the competition.
"So who wanted to be the 3rd member?," asked Chang. Everybody started whispering.
"Why don't you take your sister?," said a boy from his class.
"Lee Jun don't you know his sister passes her exam with grace marks so I don't think she should go," said Mingmei who was friends with Chunhua but not anymore after that incident. Everybody started laughing.
"One is intelligent and the other is completely looser," whispered the other girl and the whole class started laughing. Chang looked at Chunhua who wasn't feeling good hearing this but was still laughing.
"Silent. If no one wants to volunteer then I'll pick the student myself," said Chang.
"Please not me," said Mingmei.
"Chunhua, will participate with us.? Xu is it alright?," asked Chang looking at Xu.
"Fine with me," mumbled Xu.
"You have picked the wrong one. It might be your first defeat," said Mimgmei. The students started laughing hearing this.
"Then why don't you participate? Don't make fun of others when you yourself don't know anything. Every person has potential so it will be wrong to assume a person's ability based on the marks or grades," Chang said politely to her.
The students got silent hearing this. Chang went to his desk and got seated on it. He looked at Chunhua who was sitting beside his desk.
"Chang don't be sad," said Xu parting at his back. After the school got over Chang gave the name to his homeroom teacher and walked out of there with Chunhua.
"Don't be sad. People try to demoralize some unique persons because they fear that the person may get to a higher place than them," mumbled Chang and put his hand around Chunhua's shoulder.
"Don't be sad. Let's go," said Chang and dragged her with him out of the school. Chunhua smiled and they ran towards the gate. They stopped running when they saw a car in front of the car and Xian was standing outside the car with his goggles on. He waved at them. They got happy seeing him and left with him at home. As he was driving he told them they must eat ice creams and stopped the car before an ice cream parlour. They walked inside. Xian told them to wait as he was making the order.
"Brother I'm going to the washroom,"said Chunhua to Chang and left from there. Xian came to the seat and told him that the order would be here in five minutes.
"Brother do you like my sister?," asked Chang looking at Xian.
"What?," mumbled Xian.
"I mean no one did this for us before, that's why I'm asking," said Chang.
"Kid, I don't like her. I mean she is an employee in my company above all she is my PA so don't you think I should take care of PA too as a good boss," Xian explained himself. Chunhua came and by then order also came. The trio ate the ice cream and after eating Xian dropped them home.
