"Axnesis. Axnes Jiang's." Axnes answered slightly lowered his head in embarrassment and nervousness.
"Jiang?" Vivian Muttered.
"Are you Max Jiang's daughter?" Raymond asked without further ado.
"real Uncle. Does uncle know Papa?" Axnes looked at Raymond.
"Your father is the best friend of Mama Rai." Raymond smiled but held back his annoyance at his son.
"Are you working now? Or still in college?" Vivian asked gently grasping Axnes' hand.
Axnes.
"I work as a model at Aunt RV2 Agency." Answer Axnes politely.
"Don't call me aunt. Call me Mama. You have to get used to it." Said Vivian smiling sweetly even though her heart was not calm.
Raymond stared intently at his son, his three best friends also stared confused even though they already knew his relationship with Axnes.
And Ayvin was just like her Mama, staring as if asking Raiyan.
"You wait a minute, Mama's gonna bring you a drink and some snacks." Said Vivian then got up from her seat.
"Rai, come with Papa for a second." Raymond rose from his seat.
"Darling you wait here. Ayvin accompany your sister-in-law to chat." Raiyan's words to his girlfriend and sister.
Both nod.
Raiyan then got up from his seat and walked in Raymond's footsteps.
"Sister Axnes, has my brother been in a relationship with Rai for a long time?" Tanya Ayvin stiff.
"Em, we've only been through this for about three months." Axnes said politely even though Ayvin was younger than him.
"Oo.sister Axnes, I accompany you around the house. I'm actually not very good at chatting." Aivyn.
"Is it no problem?" Ask Axnes.
"Of course not. Soon brother will be a part of this family." Ayvin said spirit.
Ayvin seems to like Axnes very much despite not knowing him too well, unlike his treatment of Emily.
"All right." Axnes.
Ayvin then leads Axnes around looking at the contents and around his house.
While three friends Raiyan chose to go out and sit on the front porch.
Axnes was amazed, the Lu family home was very luxurious and elegant.
They occasionally tell small stories.
"Vin, how old are you?" Ask Axnes.
"Eighteen brother. Only five years young from Rai's brother." Ayvin said politely.
Axnes nodded.
"Hows it? Does my sister like this house? Later sister will be the first young mistress in this house." Ayvin said spirit.
"This house is beautiful." Axnes.
"This house Mama designed it. It's just that there are parts that have been renovated and also the size has been expanded. And as long as you know, Dero's lousy house is next to ours." Ayvin said enthusiastically.
"It turns out Mama Vivi was great too." Axnes praised his future mother-in-law.
"Mama was great. I'd love to be a designer and an architect like Mama." Ayvin said spirit.
"Student learning. I'm sure you can." Said Axnes patting slowly the top of the head of his prospective sister-in-law.
Ayvin chuckles.
They continued to walk around until they returned to the family room and Axnes view captured a part of the wall of the house that contained a lot of beautiful photos on display.
"Ayvin, can I see that?" Axnes asked pointing at the wall.
Ayvin nodded.
"Come brother." Ayvin pulls Axnes's hand.
Ayvin and Axnes did not know that behind the wall, Raymond and Raiyan were.
"This is a wall that holds many memories. All of this is a photo of our extended family." Ayvin said pointing to some photos neatly attached to the wall.
"Oh yeah, this is grandpa. But he's not here. Grandpa spends more time abroad enjoying his old age." Ayvin pointed to Harley Lu's photo.
Axnes nodded.
"What was this Rai as a child?" Axnes asked pointing to a picture of a smiling boy holding a knife.
Ayvin nodded.
"Right-natured brother. Mama and Papa said from a small brother really likes to play knife. If not given then she will cry until the house person can't bear to hear her." Ayvin said as he knew it.
Axnes nodded but smiled funny.
"Ayvin, come here for a second." Pinta Vivian from the kitchen.
"Sister please look. I'll help Mama first." Ayvin then ran to the kitchen.
Axnes again looked at every photo sheet neatly attached to the wall.
Sometimes he smiles.
Until finally he accidentally began to hear the chatter of Raiyan and Raymond.
"What's the matter Pa? Papa called me here just to sit down?" Raiyan asked confusedly.
Raymond took a deep breath and exhaled his coarse.
"What's your goal in marrying Axnes?" Raymond was was asking.
"Don't Papa know? I love her." Raiyan smiled.
"Rai, if you're still with the original intention of wanting revenge, it's as good as you stop. Didn't you promise?" Raymond advised his son.
Prunes
Axnes accidentally nudged a nearby flower vase.
Axnes misunderstood and only heard half, so he was about to turn around and leave.
"Axnes." Gumam Raiyan tried to chase after Axnes steps that had run first but in vain.
Axnes did not want to hear his screams.
Even his three best friends help him chase and try to scream to stop Axnes, Axnes does not want to hear their screams.
Her tears are dripping.
He ran until he finally got a taxi.
He took the taxi and gave the taxi driver an address.
"Why are you evil Rai? Did you know from the beginning that I was the daughter of the man who hurt your mother? But why didn't you ever say that? Why are you lying to me again and again? You made me fall in love with you so deeply, but in fact it was all just so you could get your revenge." Inner Axnes sobbed.
He felt a great heartache when he found out the man he loved so much was approaching him just for revenge. Axnes completely misunderstood.
"Miss, we're here." The taxi driver said after stopping in front of a minimalist house.
"Thank you." Axnes said then gave the taxi fare to the driver and he went down.
Soon he walked into the house and pressed the doorbell.
The tears did not stop flowing.
No one opened the door for long.
Axnes grew increasingly upset and pressed the house bell harshly.
Soon the door was opened, a woman came out of the house dressed in a mess and ran away from the house.
"Stev." Sapa Axnes sobbed and hugged Stev at his neck.
"Hey, why are you a little girl?" Stev asked worriedly as he rubbed Axnes' back.
"I'm stupid Stev. I love a man who turns out to be only using me and wants revenge on Papa." Axnes said.
"Hey hey, let's sit down first." Stev leads Axnes to sit on his living room couch.
He then gave a glass of water to Axnes, Axnes drink it until it runs out.
"Try to tell me slowly what happened." Stev said as he wiped away the tears Axnes had already flooded his cheeks.
"He's evil Stev. She approached me knowing I was the daughter of the man who had hurt her mother. He set me up with his love and sweet treatment just for revenge. I'm Stev's stupid, I'm stupid." Axnes said rashly.
Huh
Stev took a long breath.
"Dear I heard me. You better ask and talk good with him. You know, after all I'm still a man. And all this time I didn't get the slightest falsehood from the way he treated you. Even when he looks at you, his eyes are full of love and sincerity." Stev stroked Axnes' hair.
Axnes was silent for a moment.
"But Stev, even his extended family all know about his plans." Axnes said still muddled with his stance.
"My dear, my Axnes, my sweet love. You don't just draw conclusions from one side or from a piece of the sentence you hear. You should be more mature and try to discuss everything in adulthood. I've never been seriously in a relationship with any woman, but I can tell how when a man sincerely loves his girl." Stev tried to persuade Axnes.
Stev was very fond of Axnes, who was already like his own sister. Therefore Stev does not want Axnes misstep or regret later.
"Now I'd better take you home. You calm yourself down and then have a good talk with Raiyan." Stev then led Axnes to stand up and drove him back to his apartment.
