Episode 112 SETTING HARIS
Flash back a few hours ago...
Haris remained welcome to enter and was now sitting casually on Xiao Jun's bed while Xiao Jun chose to sit on the chair.
“Weini seems very tired. It was not a draining trip but he had too many thoughts. He must be sleeping now, I know this is an important moment for you guys just let Weini rest enough and he must be much calmer later.”
Now that Xiao Jun understood the intent of Haris' arrival, the man was very considerate of his daughter. That was why he wanted to ask Xiao Jun's understanding to understand Weini's condition. “Alright uncle, I will not interrupt his break.”
“Good, you are indeed very understanding. I'm more prepared than you, Weini definitely needs some dress-up time and you're definitely waiting for her. So I should go first accompany your mother, let us parents know each other first.” Haris cried casually and sounded reasonable.
Xiao Jun accepted Haris' proposal, it would be best if his mother had a friend after all this time he was confined to Li's residence. Giving him a peer talk is certainly fun, for some reason he has a hunch Haris fit to be his mother's interlocutor.
“Good idea uncle, I have the driver take uncle there now. According to my mother's very time-respecting nature, she must have arrived early and waited. I'm gonna leave my mom with my uncle until we
following.” Xiao Jun was in full spirits. Ever since her father disappeared, she had never felt that way again, but knowing her mother would have Haris as her interlocutor was very happy for her.
“OK. Do not forget to wake Weini if in two hours he still has not contacted you.” Haris's message before he left in front of Xiao Jun. His mysterious smile was pinched, only he knew the scenario that was
played it.

The couple who were in the middle of the reunion were still lost in thought, especially Xin Er. Many questions that wanted to be voiced but powerless were thrown, he stared fixedly at the figure of the new-faced husband.
“I know you are curious, the story is very long. I also want to know your life after that incident, but we can't sit here for long. Li Jun is coming soon, we'll find another place to talk.”
Haris's initiative of securing the situation, things would fall apart if Xiao Jun and Weini realized the truth now. Fortunately Xin Er was invited everywhere even though his heart was still riled up. They close
yourself in the attic of the restaurant, enjoying the cool breeze of the night. Xin Er folded both hands as the wind blew on her but Haris swiftly took off his suit and put it on his wife.
“So Li Jun already recognized you? This is a surprise from you?” Xin Er began to ask, there were a lot of questions that were still stuck.
“No. He doesn't know yet. Just like you, he hasn't noticed. I've known him since I first met, just hearing his name change makes me not want him to know.” Haris expressed his heart, so long he harbored a feeling of pain when he heard the name and surname of his son changed.
“That's because he wants to protect us. The big master liked him and raised him as a child, the name was given to master Li San. They brought your head, we thought you ended tragically and we'd
“I'm sorry to make your lives suffer. In the future I will make amends, please be patient in a moment.” Pinta Haris, he grabbed both hands of Xin Er to hold.
“But why did your face change completely? Did your spirit enter into a new body?” xin Er asked curiously.
Haris smiled then shook his head, “Not this is just a mask. I wear it to escape, young lady also wears it.”
Xin Er was surprised, she just remembered about Yue Hwa. “Young donna? Is he alive too? Ah where is he now? He must have been big.”
“Are you not aware yet why I came to see you? Actually it is not only me who planned to meet you, our son is the one who wants to introduce his future wife.”
Xin Er gasped, She did not expect that the special guest that would be introduced to her was the youngest miss of the Li family. “Li Jun has a relationship with Miss Yue Hwa? Jesus, what kind of destiny is this?”
Haris embraces Xin Er in an embrace, he must not lose the chance to let go of the longing. Their time was not much, they had to languish once more until Haris found a better solution to regroup.
“Humans have limitations but the sky rules everything, even we never thought our son was raised by the Li family while the daughter of the Li family was raised by me. As they matured, fate tied them up and sent Li Jun finding me.” Haris said calmly, his eyes closed feeling his wife's warm embrace.
“Big master although cruel but still have a heart, Li Mei is married to a good man thanks to an arranged marriage from Li San, but Li An has not been lucky and sent home to our old house. He lived a long time and relied on his own ability to live, but I heard from the madam that Li An is fine. Li Jun has always been dear and privileged until now, he learned a lot of business and gained full trust from Li San. But pity, his life is restrained by rules and he has no choice but to comply because Li San often threatens him with my safety guarantee.” Xin Er began to open up about what happened after the departure of the head of the family.
“Good. I also take good care of their daughter. She grew up to be a beautiful, cheerful, independent and reliable girl. Despite having to live behind a mask, we don't even know what the real face is right now. I changed his name, gave him a new life and he has worked successfully as an artist. She and Li Jun are very compatible, I will work to make their relationship smooth if indeed they are a match.” Haris.
“Ah, I wonder what the young lady's face looks like. Do you have a picture of her?” pinta Xin Er's.
Haris pulled out his phone and showed us photos of Weini in his gallery. Xin Er was gobsmacked by Weini's face, even though it was just a mask yet the girl grew very beautiful and radiated kindness from her
her face.
“Until when do you live with masks? What can not be removed” asked Xin Er seriously, as good as it looks like the mask is still a mask. It would be more pleasant to live with authenticity even though it is not as beautiful as the mask.
Haris was confused to answer, “It was. The risk is huge, there is no guarantee of success.” Haris bowed sadly. There is always a risk behind every decision, but he is not ready if one day Weini desperate to take off his mask.
“It is better not. There is no harm in living behind a mask, rather than taking risks. Lives are worth more to fight for.” Xin Er could guess the worst risk, she did not want to lose her husband again, nor was she willing to lose the young lady who had become a special person in her son's heart.
