Second Lead Syndrome: A Second Chance Chapter 195 - Once In A Blue Moon

While the guys were having their own fun, Lena was driving to her parent's house. When she arrived, Aunt Mary told Lena that Shen Mao was in his office by Shen Milli was in the garden. Lena went to see her mother first.

Shen Milli was on the gra.s.s, removing weeds from the flowers and tr.i.m.m.i.n.g the leaves.

"Mom." Lena shouted out to her.

Shen Milli turned and saw her daughter walking toward her. "So you still remember that I am your mom and this is your house."

Lena smiled and went on the gra.s.s and hugged her mother. "Yes."

Shen Milli handed Lena some garden gloves so they can work together.

"So I heard... it did not go well between you and Ming Zhao. How come? I thought you both liked each other." She asked.

"Ming Zhao and I get along well, but we do not have any feelings for each other. If I was forced to be with him, our life would be nice... but it would be a relations.h.i.+p built on respect rather than the mutual feelings of love. But we are not put into the situation of being forced, so I rather choose love and happiness over just being okay."

"As I have said before, we won't force you to marry anyone you don't want to. But... if you want to start your own big family, you need to start building it now. If you wait too long, all the handsome men will get married already." Shen Milli held Lena's hand. "You are not... going back to Andy, right?"

"Ah, no mom. Never."

"Good. You deserve someone better than those who left you."

"I know." Lena smiled.

"You have not seen your father yet, correct? Go and talk to him. Since you do not want to get married yet, he will put you to work."

Lena took off her gloves and went inside the mansion. She washed her hands before going to her father's office. Lena knocked on the door first and then entered after hearing a response.

"Dad."

Shen Mao smiled at her daughter. He felt that there was something different about her. "Sit down."

Lena sat down. "Mom says that you have something for me to do?"

"Yes. We have a few new investors at the company. I know you do not want to go big, but as my daughter, you should be there tomorrow with me. It will be a good experience for you."

"New investors? They must have invested a lot for you to personally do this."

"You think so too. I thought it was weird when they first invested in our SHEN company, but Henry already dig through all their past business and they are genuine about investing in our company."

"Then, I will go to work with you tomorrow." Lena answered.

"Oh and Lena. Make time to go see Andy too. I know you both are not together anymore, but our families should still be there for each other. A powerful man above does not have many people around them."

"Will do Father." Lena got up and left.

She texted Henry to forward the details about the new investors to her. Lena texted Kris about what he was doing, but there was no reply from him.

Little did she know, the men were having their own war at Kris' house.

Gary was the last one to give Kris the punch, but because Gary doesn't do any punching, his was the most lighted one. Instead, Gary hacked into Kris' bulk of expensive wine and they all drank that instead.

They were going to trash Kris' house but Collin was the father that disapproved of the plan. They got drunk and laughed around as they talked about what Collin was going to do with Stella. Ming was talking gibberish about the bachelor's party.

Ming tired himself out first. It was only once in a blue moon where he could hand out with the crowd. Keso carried the man out when he left. Soon after, everyone else left.

Kris looked at his furnished living room with bottles of empty wine and are with food lying all around. He was too tired to deal with that... He will call someone tomorrow to come to clean his house.

First, he needed to look at his face... he wouldn't want Lena to see him like this tomorrow.

His face not that bad.... it has been a long time since he was punched this much. Keso's punch was the only one that actually did damage to him. He grabbed an ice pack and put it on his face. He looked at his phone and saw that Lena texted him.

He was too busy running around a drunk Ming to pay attention to his phone. He smiled and texted Lena back.

Kris: I am fine

Lena: won't see you tomorrow :C

Kris: Tuesday?

Lena: appointment with Stella

Kris: Next day then

Lena: mhm

Lena: Gtg will call you later

Since Lena was not going to be with him for a while, Kris decided to back to the Li mansion. Tye had said that spending more time with his mother might help open his physical stimulants to the new exposures that Lena had helped him with.

He grabbed a few files off his work desk and head out. When he arrived, Madam Li was ecstatic to see Kris home. She had urged him to come home more often. Since before, he had stayed at his own place because Lena was helping him, but now that session was in the past, she wanted him to be home more.

As Kris was having dinner with his mother, she brought up a topic that he had forgotten about.

"We will be going to see you, grandparents, this weekend." Madam Li spoke.

"I don't have any grandparents."

"Kris." Madam Li raised her voice. "I hate your grandfather as much as you do, but they are still your grandparents. Before your father died, he asked you to forgive the old man."

"I did... that's why he's still alive is he not?" Kris stopped eating. "And grandmother will only bring back another stupid girl to rub her on me."

Kris stood up from his seat. "I am not going no matter what. If you want me to go, you will have to drug me like last time." He turned around and left.

Madam Li sighed. There was a reason Madam Li force Kris to go every year... but it was not something he should know about yet... not until he was married. Last year, Madam Li had to drug Kris and kidnap her own son.

Of course, he was not mad at her, but he despised the sight of his grandfather the most. He not only reminded Kris of all the horrible things that were done to him but also who he still is. Something that he cannot deny.
