Project: Success

Chapter 16 - And Old Man's Lamentation

"An Archer know what his goal. It's the moon. Because the farther he pulled, the farther the arrow would end up. It means, he will end up hitting the moon. He can do the impossible, possible." Min Ju has a distant peaceful look on her face. This time, she looks so delicate and soft, almost ethereal.

"So, I will make it possible to be so successful." She turn to look at He Rue and Qin Wuxie with a smile.

"I promise to excel in everything. And bring those with me to glory whilst those who hurt and left us down with envy."

"I'll kill them them with success and bury them with a smile." She said. Saying that words she had read online.

"So, don't think about anything. Just keep looking and aiming forward."

The two was inspired at what she said. They don't have to think anything but their goals. Their future and success.

If someone want you to be their stepping stone, climb higher. Let see if they can still step onto you.

At the Su Manor, the Su siblings grabbed everything that they could thrashed at the ground. The sounds of broken glasses attract the attention of Su Jing, their mother and Min Ju's mother. She's 38 yet still look 25. Her honeyed hair looks mesmerizing under the lights. Her skin fair and has the most beautiful doe eyes. She's still look as stunning when she married her ex-husband in the past.

"What is going on here?!" She asked annoyed. She just got home and this is what she'll come home to?

"Mom!" Su Mei ran towards Su Jing and cried in her arms.

"Whats wrong?" Seeing her so pitiful she rubbed the hair of her daughter.

"We were humiliated today, Mom." Su Li answered with a scoff.

"Okay? What happened to your boyfriend's birthday party?"

"Totally ruin!" Su Mei screamed. Her face became ugly because of anger.

"Because of that temptress, I was humiliated!"

"By Qin Wuxie?"

"No! How could that woman do that?! It was Min Ju, Mom! She's back! She slap me not only two times but 4 times for calling her a bastard and for hurting Qin Wuxie and for the words I'm going to say to her! All of the guest saw what happen. All of them will going to be my classmates and batch mate in First Ace University. They would be laughing behind my back. Mother, teach that woman a lesson please? She's probably at the Fu Manor..." Su Mei looked at her mother pleadingly.

"Okay. Call your grandma tomorrow. We're going at the Fu Manor at the morning."

Hearing what she wanted to hear, her face lit up.

"You're the best!"

The next day, just as expected. Su Jing, Su Mei, Su Li and Grandmother Shi turn up in the Fu Manor early in the morning.

However, they never thought that the Fu Manor is crowded.

There are men in black standing sternly at the gate looking at them coldly.

"Leave if you don't want to be drag down by us." One of them said with seriousness.

Inside the living room. Grandfather Fu, He Rue and Uncle He was there. Facing opposite them was the whole Qin Family. Grandfather Fu and Uncle He didn't know what Min Ju and He Rue did so that this family will come knocking at their doorsteps. They just came back home when they saw the family already in the house sipping tea.

Both old men let out a cold sweat.

Old man Qin stared at Grandfather Fu with a serious face. The atmosphere is rather awkward.

"Grandfather, stop staring at Mr. Fu like that!" Qin Wuxie laughed.

"Mr. Fu, we just wanted to thank you that your granddaughter stood up for my daughter yesterday and has protected her." Qin Mo said smilingly.

"Where is she? We wanted to see her. Driver Yu said that she's as beautiful as a princess." Qin Mo looked around the living room. He Rue and Qin Wuxie giggled.

"Mom, she's still snoring in her bedroom."

Yup, Qin Wuxie sleep over at the Fu Manor. She saw Min Ju's room simple yet elegant. Just like she is. And she hasn't woken up yet.

"We stayed up late at night watching the stars. She also told us different exciting stories. She even told me what her life like in the US. Min Ju changes job every year! She said it was hard but if she wanted to achieve her goal it's okay if she faces many obstacles! Even if she have to crawl towards her destination, it's fine. Because she knew she will definitely reach her destination!" Qin Wuxie happily said as admiration flashes through her eyes.

Hearing what his granddaughter said Old Man Qin is surprise. Because he knew, only a person who suffered greatly can say this words.

Grandfather Fu and Uncle He felt their heart ache.

Suddenly, light footsteps was heard coming down from the stairs. A sleepy Min Ju decended the stairs as her left hand rub her eyes.

"Why it is so noisy?"

She was still in her cute bunny pajama when she came down. The bunny ears looks cute on her.

He Rue and Qin Wuxie jumped up from the sofa and drag her at the living room.

Shock, her grogginess faded away. She looked at all the people in the living room and embarrassment flooded her face. How could she not? She was wearing a sleeping bunny suit!

"Min Ju, these are my parents, my sister and of course, my lovable grandfather!" Qin Wuxie beam and a delighted smile appeared at Old Man Qin's face. His granddaughter just called him lovable. It warms his heart.

"Hello, Aunty, Uncle. Sister Qin and Grandfather Qin." Min Ju greeted and bowed respectfully at them. Qin Mo help her up.

"Child, get up. You don't have to bow at us like that."

"I'm paying my respect to my Wuxie's whole family."

Old Man Qin and Grandfather Fu coughed loudly. Did his granddaughter just called Qin Wuxie as 'my Wuxie?' Is my hearing right?

Did this little girl call my granddaughter 'my Wuxie?' Her act right now was as if she was going to ask for his granddaugther's hand!

It's such a pity that she was born a girl. Or else, he will definitely willing to marry Qin Wuxie to Min Ju! Old Man Qin lamented in his heart. He had heard from young Master Qian how Min Ju protected his precious granddaughter!
