The Undefined Love

After travel all the way from the previous place to Lifen's address, Murphy dropped her a several steps before her home. It was been requested by Lifen, she doesn't wanted to disturb her mother's sleep because of the car's screech.

"Thank you, uncle Murphy for helping me today. Otherwise it won't be possible for me to head home back", Lifen said in a polite tone.

Murphy shook her head on her politeness. He never expected her to so cool minded. Even after such a heartbreak, she was behaving as if nothing has happened, everything is normal.

Lifen turned her head giving a soft smile to him, took a few steps but before he could get back into the car, a soft voice again attracted his attention, "Uncle Murphy, for me you were like an angel today. I would prefer to call you angel uncle to Murphy Uncle".

He was quite taken aback with her words, 'angel uncle'. He didn't know why but it sounded quite familiar with her voice. He wanted to ask her something but before he could, Lifen asked him "Uncle Murphy, would it seem bad if I ask you the address of the mansion where Long Jie is resting. It's just that, I want to visit her"

Murphy was still thinking of her previous word and didn't heard anything after that. "Uncle Murphy?", she voiced to break him out of his thoughts.

"Huh?"

"May I get the address of place, where she is resting. I wanted to visit her more", she repeated herself.

"Yeah sure. I will send it you through text but make sure to give me as you know how Deming...", he wanted to make sure that from now on Deming didn't mistreat her.

But before he could finish his sentence, Lifen cut it off in the midway, "Today was the last day, his words affected me. After this, he won't be able to hurt me. But still I will text you before I get there".

After that, Lifen headed to her home. To her surprise from a distance she could see, the house was fully lighted as if everyone was awake. If they are awake, then it would be of no good to her. She would have to face several questions and in her present state, she doesn't want to answer anyone. She only wanted to have a deep sleep, so that she can help her heart to mend itself.

Since the lights of the house were already on its its full glory, she decided to enter through front gate, because she already knew till now her mother would have already opened her room using a spare key.

She rang the door bell, and within 10 seconds the door was opened. It was her mother, but something was wrong with her. Her face was pale, her eyes gave her the evidence that she was scared.

She immediately get into the house, closing the door behind her and pulled her mother along, "Mumma, why your face is so p-pale...", she stammered the last word of her speech when her deep black eyes scanned the persons present inside her house.

"Gr-Grandpa, Uncle Fei, we-welcome", she was stammering badly. It's not that she was afraid of her grandfather but it was because she knew her grandfather cares about her health a lot. And at this time, according to him or even anyone, she should be sleeping on her bed rather than roaming here and there.

Her grandfather furrowed his brows, "LiLi, where have you been at this hour. Isn't this time for your sound sleep?"

"Mrs.Wu, is this how you are fulfilling your promise. This is how you are taking her care", Elder Li rebuked with fiery eyes.

"Sorry, Elder. It's my m-mistake", a shiver passed Mother Wu's spine.

Lifen felt bad, because of her , her mother has to face her grandfather's wrath. She has to calm down his grandfather. She took long steady steps towards her grandfather and gently clung to his arm, "Grandpa, It's my mistake. There is nothing to with mother. This is the first time, I was out for this late. And I swear this will be the last time too". She blinked her eyes to make a puppy face infront of him.

It has always worked for her in the past. This time, it also worked as elder's wrathful eyes were softening. He has dearly loved his granddaughter, it's was not because she was his own blood but because of her soft heart and concern for everyone. She has always worked hard to fulfill all his wishes and always being a filial granddaughter.

He gently patted on her hand that was wrapped around his arm, "Okay, Okay don't make that face now. I am no more angry on you but make sure it doesn't repeat in the future".

Lifen hummed in the approval. Mother Wu smiled looking the duo. She has always known her to be a sweet talker, "Elder, I will get you something. Please excuse me". Saying this Mother Wu left in the direction of the kitchen.

"Grandpa, what brings you here at this hour. Is there something important?", Lifen asked.

"Why? can't I come to see you?" he raised his brow slightly.

"Ofcourse grandpa, you can come whenever you want. But you should consider your health too. You have to take rest properly", she said in a slight stern voice.

Elder Li, feebly hummed in response, "I have come to inform you something and you can't refuse it".

Lifen tilted her head to catch the expression on her grandfather's face but she didn't catch anything. Getting her questioning eyes, Elder Li simply responded, "It's for your bright future and for the future of Li Corporation and you can't refuse. I never refused your wishes, so please you should too consider this".

After saying this, he signaled Huang Fei.

Huang Fei pulled out few papers from his working bag and handed it respectfully to the Elder.

"Here have a look", Elder Li passed the papers in the hands of Lifen.

Lifen looked at the papers. As she was flipping the papers, her eyes were getting widened and with the last page her expression sank down.

She lifted her head to look at her grandfather who was looking at her with an expectations. Here she lost, lost to to her grandfather. She nodded giving her approval, "How many months are there in my hands to enjoy my life with this family, grandpa".
