Young Master Liem
Young Miss Liem: Second meeting

After marriage, Sun Kwan was asked to stay at the Hu family home, as Miss Hu was his only child, and her parents wanted her to continue accompanying them in old age. Mrs. Liem and Sun Kwan have just been close as mother and son, but Mrs. Liem eventually allowed Sun Kwan to live with the Hu family. With the consideration of Miss Hu is a mere child puppet who has an obligation to care for his parents.

Ny's Pleasure. Liem released Sun Kwan to be welcomed by the Hu family. But Miss Hu and Sun Kwan promised to visit Liem's house frequently, especially on holidays. Every day Sun Kwan continues to work as usual in his father's company office, but now as the leader of the company, according to his father's wishes and has been approved also by his stepmother.

Sun Kwan is a good boy, his playful nature impresses Mr and Mrs Hu and feels lucky to get a son-in-law like him.

Wan Siang and Si Manis made a policy to stay in Kudus on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, then return to Semarang on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, respectively, to stay close to the Liem family in Semarang. After all, the journey from Kudus to Semarang is also not too long, it takes approximately 2 hours by train.

Because his brothers had married and moved house, Siaw Cing became lonely. He himself was 17 years old. Both her sisters are married, then Mr and Ms. Liem so thought about the future of Siaw Cing.

“Now live Siaw Cing, he also has to get married someday,” said Ny. Liem's.

“But let him choose his own life partner,”. Liem's.

“Yes, even so, may I wish that Siaw Cing could marry someone who can guarantee her well-being?”

“I mean, the Siaw Cing pair should be rich?”

“As his Mama, I want him to be able to get people who can make him happy.”

“You are not wrong, but the most important thing is that Siaw Cing must love her husband. In our family, I don't want any term forced to marry.”

“Iya. Love is indeed an important thing in marriage.”

Master and Madam Liem reached the same understanding. So they do not want to match Siaw Cing, but also want to continue to monitor the development of Siaw Cing in the future.

Siaw Cing felt lonely after her two brothers married and moved house. So Siaw Cing doesn't get bored, ma'am. Liem asked her to practice sewing and embroidery. So, Siaw Cing felt that embroidery and sewing were not fun and quickly bored him.

Actually Siaw Cing was a rather quiet child, but had a sensitive feeling. Although lonely, but he also felt relieved because Liem's family life was much better than before. Papa and his mother had made peace and lived harmoniously, which became Siaw Cing's greatest happiness.

“Nona... there are guests looking for Miss,” said a maid.

“Tuest?” ask Siaw Cing.

Siaw Cing rushed to the living room and wanted to see who it was.

Upon arriving at the living room, where the guest was seated, Siaw Cing was surprised to find a Chinese youth wearing a black suit and a white shirt coming looking for him.

“Sorry, I was sassy to come here without prior notice.”

“You were Antony yesterday, right?”

“It turns out you still remember my name, Miss Liem.”

“Call Siaw Cing only.”

“Alright then, Siaw Cing.”

“Then, what was the problem until you came here?”

“No problem, I just want to meet. At that time the atmosphere was very crowded, until we did not have time to talk after introducing ourselves. Though I want to know many things about you.”

Siaw Cing was astonished, it turned out that there were people who wanted to know about him.

“I'm mediocre, you won't find an interesting story.”

“I don't think so, I feel like you have something that makes me curious.”

“Yes already, just ask what you want to ask.”

Antony feels Siaw Cing is the most laid-back of all the girls he has ever met. Even his attitude was a little like a boy's.

“What's wrong with me?”

“Yes, you like no matter the appearance, and say as is, without being made-up.”

Siaw Cing so pay attention to his appearance, he only wears a simple house clothes, his face is plain without powder and lipstick, nor does he wear jewelry like most young ladies from the family are.

Since Siaw Cing told his mother that he actually does not like to wear jewelry, Ms. Liem freed her from having to wear jewelry for social status. Also freeing her to wear clothes she likes, including shoes. Then Siaw Cing can feel free and be yourself.

“Yes, I do this, nothing special right?”

“No, I think you're special, because other than others.”

The look on Siaw Cing's face is still flat and does not show that he is interested in Antony who looks stunning. Even though Antony's face is also quite handsome, typical of the Gwie family, which is famous for their beautiful appearance. But in front of Siaw Cing, Antony felt like a commoner with a mediocre face.

In fact, because of the size of the Gwie family company, the whole family was highly respected among the Chinese in Semarang.

“Where have you been all this time? Why don't I ever see you at parties?”

“I don't like parties, I prefer at home.”

After the first meeting with Siaw Cing, Antony Gwie hopes to meet the girl again at someone's party, where the Gwie family often gets a party invitation. But Siaw Cing was not found at any party Antony attended.

“Because I can't see you again at the party, that's why I came here.”

“I told you, I'm not attractive. I don't like to dress up and go to parties. I am a boring person, I better tell you first from now on, than you are disappointed later,” Siaw Cing said with an indifferent face.

Antony Gwie laughed at Siaw Cing's words. Any woman who blatantly says that she is not attractive and boring. There, they will all perform as well as possible to attract the attention of men, especially those with a high reputation like Antony.

“There is something funny about my words?” ask Siaw Cing.

“No, it's just that your words tickled my mind a lot. Looks like you are very unique and think in a different way to most girls.”

“Tell me if I'm weird, don't have to be refined.”

“No, no. Who said you were weird?”

The first meeting, according to Siaw Cing, was strange. After talking to Antony again, it was unexpected that their conversation was even more strange, thought Siaw Cing.

“Eh Siaw Cing, can I play again sometime here? I'm happy to talk to you,” Antony said.

“I thought you talked to me. It's up..” replied Siaw Cing.

Antony felt very happy that Siaw Cing did not throw him out, and gave him a chance to talk and come again.

Since Siaw Cing had no meaningful activities and nothing big to think about, he let Antony come to visit him once in a while. Siaw Cing himself was also surprised, why there are people who could be curious about him, such as newspaper reporters.

***

Unbeknownst to Siaw Cing, Mr. Liem noticed his daughter and the guest. Mr. Liem smiled, seeing his daughter behaving so casually in front of a potential NV heiress Gwie Ting Tjiang who owns the largest cigarette company in Semarang city.

Siaw Cing did not know anything about the Gwie family's company, and it made him feel free to act as if he wanted to. If only Ms. Liem knew the meeting Antony and his daughter, of course he would be happy not to be upset. Unfortunately, Mrs. Liem missed the opportunity because he was going to visit the Hu family home.
