Present...

    Emerald pavilion is filled with San family along with Old Man Chen.

    There are two servants who followed  Old Man Chen to Emerald pavilion to serve him. So they both did the cooking washing and everything.

    When the night hit everyone had their dinner peacefully amidst their laughter and chatters. Even the stern Old Man Chen laughed along with them. He kept his age aside and mingled with them. He felt like he is experiencing heaven.

    After dinner, all the men decided to drink. Old Man Chen cannot drink due to his age. And Sara dragged Renji to one of the guest rooms to stop him from drinking. The only people, who are left are Kai and Mu Sheng.

    Kai and Mu Sheng never spoke before. So, it is a little awkward for them. But still, they decided to drink.  Mu Sheng wanted to get close to him. So he agreed to drink along with him.

    Mu Sheng and Kai took their beer cans as they made their way to the terrace. They both started drinking as they stood near the hand railings at one of the corners in the terrace.

    No one spoke for the time being. It''s silence. Complete silence. It''s deafening their ears.

    A cold breeze flew through them making one shiver. But these two people stood unfazed.

    Suddenly Mu Sheng heard Kai''s voice "The first time we saw Yan Shu is eight years ago exactly. " Kai looked at the starry night sky.

    He lifted his head and looked at the night sky which is clear. He didn''t understand why the sky looked different today. It had a mixture of black, red and purple. The sky is calmer than usual days. Stars are shining brightly. The sky looked beautiful and dangerous at the same time. He doesn''t know why he is feeling anxious. Maybe it is just his feeling.  The breeze is hitting them coldly.

    Kai Continued his words "That day me, mom and dad are strolling on the roads. We saw four people forcing her to get out of a cab. She is struggling very hard to break free. She cried for help as the tears gushed out of her sockets. She looked like a pitiful puppy. The first thing that came to my mind is to protect. When my mom said to rescue her. I didn''t wait for a second to rush towards them. My father dealt with those goons. But when I went near her she cowered away from me. My heart ached at her scared expression towards me. That moment I swore to protect her at my costs.

    Sometimes my thoughts used to wander. What if we didn''t get interfered with who knows how she would be or where she would be. Maybe she might not be alive. Maybe it''s the fate which brought her towards us. We would have forfeited the happiness that we found now." Kai smiled bitterly

    He took a sip from his beer as he continued "But now that little devil is here with us and finally with you.

    The smile which we are seeing now on her face is not there at the time we met her. She cried daily. Every second. Every minute.

    When we met her we don''t know what happened to her. She is scared to meet new people.  She used to allow only mom to go near her. She allowed us to come near her only after she realized that we meant no harm to her.

    Yan Shu had a lot of health problems. She became traumatic, phobic, weak, scared, delusional, and etc..,  At the start, she is even scared to have food. She used to assume that we spiked it.

    But her actions never made us irritated. Maybe if another girl is there in her place we would have irritated. But towards her, we never felt irritated.

    She is self-motivated herself to live. She strived hard to live. She struggled hard to become strong. She learned everything to become strong. She learned how to do business, how to fight, how to do coding, how to speak, how to use her wits, how to kill a person without soiling hands, she learned how to shoot. There is almost nothing she can do. She is just outstanding.

    She is excellent, in a way such that wherever she go spotlight followed her.

    But One day....." Kai took a pause and drank another sip of his beer. He turned his head towards Mu Sheng. Kai saw Mu Sheng looking at him. His look saying Kai to continue his words.

    Kai turned to the side of the railings and leaned on it leisurely. He lifted his right leg and rested it on the railings.  He crossed his hands against his c.h.e.s.t. He raised the can take another sip only to find it is empty. He threw it aside and picked another can. He opened the seal and took a sip.

    Kai gazed into Mu Sheng''s eyes directly, who is standing in front of him and began again "One day... She gathered everyone and said her story. We never know that she went through those many hurdles.

    We decided to take revenge on behalf of her. But she stopped us. She said that she wanted to leave all those messy things from her past behind her. She doesn''t want to get acquainted with them again. She wanted to live a peaceful life. She wanted to live how normal people live. But who would have thought that..." Kai didn''t continue his words. He stopped his words in the midway as he took another sip from the beer can.

    He continued "I saw her rising from ashes like a Phoenix. But this time she stood strong and immovable. She faced the world raising her chin high. She made the world to fawn over her.

    But she proved that even Phoenix can not be compared to her. Nothing can be compared to her. She is a jewel that we found accidentally.

    When she came to know our wealth she never batted her eye at it. She ignored it. Do you know what she said when we asked her whether she wants the San family Fortune " Kai looked at Mu Sheng and raised his brows? He is waiting for him to make guess.

    Mu Sheng did not answer Kai. He just stared at him. He looked like an obedient child to Kai. Mu Sheng has a serious expression on his face. Seeing him like that Kai chuckled at him and then he proceeded " She said '' I wish I can earn that much fortune on my own and show this world that, I, San Yan Shu is the wealthiest person. I will become a kind of person who cannot even dare to think about me. ''

    That day I thought she cannot do it. But she surprised me by achieving it.

    Chen Mu Sheng..."

    This is the first time that Kai called him with his name. Mu Sheng froze in his spot. He looked at him. His gaze has a question mark.

    "Chen Mu Sheng... Do you San Yan Shu is a surprise. She never failed to surprise me. Whenever I assumed I know her well she used to surprise me again proving that I don''t know about her anything. Her surprises never ended. In fact, my heart became string with them" Kai laughed at his own joke. Mu Sheng smiled at his words after what felt like n eternity.

    Kai moved forward with his words "She used to meet us every weekend. We used to wait for the weekend just to spend time with her. But she didn''t come empty-handed. She came with surprises. She made us laugh. The time we spent with her is precious memorable. "

    Kai removed his gaze which is on the beer can and looked at Mu Sheng before saying " You are also one of the surprises she gave us. She is a brat. Only in front of us. But she became someone''s wife suddenly. The girl whom I treat her as a child is grown up. Now she became a woman from a young lady.

    I wish you take care of her well. Don''t disappoint us. Don''t make her cry. " Kai said earnestly.

    Mu Sheng wondered how far this San family loved her. Everyone is threatening him and at the same time begging him to take care of her. But at the same time, he felt happy for her for being found by the San family. He thanked them with all his heart. If they didn''t rescue her he would have been working a machine. He thanked them for bringing her into his life again.

    But what exactly is her past? Why the hell he can''t find it. Wait.... he said they found her eight years ago but why does his search results show him seven years ago? His results said she waited until she turned major to escape from her home. Then does it mean she escaped before she turned eighteen? But why?

    Mu Sheng knows her brother, Lu Xing Yan loves a lot. If she gets into trouble he will be the one who will be taking the first blow. Then what he is doing? Why didn''t he protect her? Lu Xing Yan what made him stop himself from protecting her? And also he knew her father died in an accident when she is a child. At that time Lu family fell from their grace. Her mother left them on their own as she left with a wealthy man. But even though Yan Shu and Lu Xing Yan are still happy on their own. He protected her still. Then what happened? Did something happen?
