Chapter 24 - Meet The New Family.

Zheng Min sneaked into his room after hearing this conversation. He knew his father could come out anytime and he had better not be caught eves dropping.He threw his bag on the chair and fell back on the bed.His room was that of a typical teenager with posters of gaming and comics.Lying in his bed,he thought back to what he had just heard.So basically Shi Ai was under the protection of someone powerful and dangerous.Someone even his father dare not offend.And that person had helped big brother get out of being a scapegoat so naturally their family was indebted to him.Knowing this Zhang Min consoled himself that at least his mom would now not need persuading.And knowing that Shi Ai had indirectly been of help for big brother will not make mom resent her too much.Zhend Min took out his phone and texted,"Mom does not need convincing.So you can relax!And prepare to join the family."

after sending off the message,Zheng Min typed out another message and stared at it for a while.Should he or shouldn't he?After deliberating over it for a while,he decided to not ask.After all even if they were going to be siblings,they had only met today for the first time.It would be too rude and sudden to ask,"Do you know someone called knight?" and so he deleted the typed words.

Shi Ai had just reached home when she received Zheng Min's message.Reading it she wondered if he was lying to her.They had just been together after school and it shouldn't have been very long since he reached home.So how did he talk to her so soon and convince his mother?

Deciding to trust his word,Shi Ai made her way to her bed and lay face down on the bed.She thought of sister Alicia and brother Ryu Long.Shi Ai did not understand why Auntie Wu did not go to them for help even though she was the one who wanted to get away.She trusted Brother Long when he said that he considered her family.And now she had arranged for someone else to become her family. Just as she wondered this,her phone rang.It was Dr Zheng Shu.She reluctantly answered it on the last ring.He was inviting her to have a family lunch tomorrow.He said they could get to know each other and then she would be able to accept them as family.

Shi Ai was reluctant to do that but in the end agreed.Mrs Wu had cared for her and loved her.If she had chosen Dr Zheng then maybe that was a better option. Tomorrow was going to tell what happens...
