Chapter 133 - Meeting Madam Li

The entire day, Muchen was curious about Sara's plan. He wondered how the little favour she had asked of him earlier would help clear her name.

Before she left that morning, she had assured his mother that she was going to clear up the misunderstanding. It did surprise him because he had not expected such reaction from her, especially since his mother slapped her.

His mother had suddenly paid him a visit. Coming early so she would meet him before he left for work.

Jiang Dana had refused to let him keep Sara as Heya's coach. "She is not fit. Did you not see the news? No wonder Heya could talk to me carelessly the other day" She had merely wanted to follow the news last night because she learnt there was a juicy gossip going on. When she figured it was the same Sara Wang who was coaching her daughter, she flared up but decided to pay a visit to Muchen this morning since she knew he returned from his trip last night and didn't want to disturb him. Then early this morning, after noticing that the entire news about her was gone, she saw an uploaded video of Weiyoung crying in the hospital. Lamenting on how she could not believe her best friend could put her through all of these.

Heya who had been quiet blew up at her "Sara did nothing wrong. There are all lies. Even if it wasn't, she is my coach and I have a say in who I want as my trainer"

"You have no such thing" Dana lashed back. "You will move home this instant and I'll find you a new coach"

"I will do no such thing mother. It's time you stopped controlling my life. I am an adult already!" Heya reminded. But she got it all wrong, so far she remained in the Li family, she was going to be controlled by them even after she got married.

Muchen just quietly looked at them. He couldn't scold Heya for raising her voice on their mother. Heya was right. She had been suffocated for too long. "Mother, I brought Heya here and I intend to keep her. Sara has done nothing wrong?"

His mother looked at him in surprise "Sara?"

Busted! He had addressed her informally again.

Sara looked at the time to see it was past 7 in the morning and scolded herself for waking up late in someone else's house. Without taking her bath, she hurriedly fit herself into her clothes and walked downstairs. She had to apologize first before knowing what to do next.

If she had known the kind of scene she would meet there, she sure wouldn't have gone downstairs now.

The last word she heard before appearing in sight was spoken by a middle aged woman and it was "You will fire that girl this instant!" Sara knew 'that girl' was obviously her.

When the woman's eyes met hers, Sara could see the evident Shock in her eyes.

She took proper note of the sitting room. Muchen was there, Heya was also standing there in her Pajamas, she was obviously surprised to see Sara there.

Sara could guess that this other woman was none other than their mother, Jiang Dana.

"What....what is she doing here?" Dana asked in shock as she signalled for Sara to come down.

"Mother, the thing is..." Dana cut Muchen off before he could continue.

"I don't want to believe she slept here. In your house"

Heya could not believe so either. When did Sara get here? What happened last night? "Mother, she came a bit early today. I asked her to"

Heya said when she saw Sara approaching them. Dana didn't believe her and didn't bother listening to her. As soon as Sara got down and greeted her with a bow, the next thing that followed was a slap to her face.

Sara's eyes shot open. She hadn't expected that. None of them had.

Muchen didn't know when he stood in between them and protected Sara from his mother. "What do you think you are doing mother?"

Dana was surprised that her son could raise his voice at her like that. "Who do you think you are referring to?" She shot back in anger.

"You mother" Heya spoke angrily. "How could you hit her like that?" She moved to where Sara had been standing quietly behind Muchen's back. "Are you okay Sara?" Heya asked in concern when she noticed Sara's face was still facing down.

Sara slowly lifted her head. She had been hearing Muchen arguing with his mother, asking her to apologize while she was busy trying to make them see she was a bad influence to Heya and the family. One statement he made touched her. "How could you hit someone's precious child? What if someone hits and treats me this way?"

It was true. Her father had never lifted his hands to hit her. She knew he was scared of making her angry. He was scared of her suddenly leaving one day just like she had done before. She knew her father would not take it likely if he heard about this.

"Mr Li" She gently called and moved to stand between him and his Mother, ignoring his protest.

She bowed again, this time, in apology.

She could understand Dana to am extent. She was a mother who cared about her children so it was a normal reaction. She hadn't want to bother herself clearing anything up but she didn't want Madam Li to have a wrong impression of her. She also didn't like that they were all quarrelling because of her.

"Those things about me are all lies. I will clear it up" She said resolutely.

Dana gave her an unbelievable look before she scoffed. "Why should I believe you're not capable of such?"

"Because I am not" She said defensively

"If you don't do that before nightfall, forget about working here!"

With that said from Dana, Sara knew she had to do so. No matter what, she had to do so: for her sake. for Joreen's future, for her family, and for Li Muchen. She didn't know why he was included in that list though.

Dexi was patiently waiting also. He had really been surprised to see a call coming from Sara earlier. When he took it, she hadn't even bothered to exchange pleasantries with him, she just gave him orders and ended the call abruptly. Before he could grumble, he found himself doing all she had asked if him.

Just when he was about leaving his office that evening, his secretary came to show him something really interesting.
