Offer To The CEO

701 Christening - Part 1

Sunday, six weeks later in Australia

Anna was stressed; Little Jang absolutely hated their flight here to Australia, despite following everything that his paediatrician said to do for the flight.? While, she initially believed the decision to employ the two nannies they liked from the initial interviews was a significant waste of resources, the two of they were wonderful in dealing with Jang's tantrums the whole flight.? Thank goodness for that as despite the flight being on the Hou enterprises plane, his reactions were distracting enough for everyone.? Goodness knows what he would have been like on a commercial flight.

Neither she nor Hou Yi had been able to thank them enough for dealing with Little Jang's behaviour on the flight, and they arranged for the two of them to have a few days leave to see some sights in Australia, as neither of them had been here before.? Anna figured with everyone around at their Australian Home, she and Yi could cope for a few days without them.

The problem was Little Jang was not cooperating and had kept her awake until about 3am.? Georgina came in and offered to deal with him so she could have a few hours' sleep.? When he was fretting as he was, it was always heartbreaking to leave him, but as Georgina said, today would be challenging and she needed some sleep.

Anna's movements however disturbed Hou Yi.? He woke up and quietly observed her without her noticing his actions.? Despite all the reassurances, and her instinctive knowledge of the situation she still blamed herself that she had a part in Lu Jingho's death due to her manipulations early in the case.? His words of reassurance did not stop her doing that, but Phillipa had seemed to get through to her finally yesterday, particularly considering the concerns that the obstetrician and others had that Anna's mental health was going downhill from that and the loss of Aaron.

He was surprised that Phillipa had not only agreed to be a godparent but had been able to travel to Australia as there was a lot going on for her with the family estate.? But her presence was calming for Anna, which was important.? The interesting thing was all the godparents she had convinced him Jang needed.? Phillipa, Uncle Feng, Yao Tan, Amanda, James, Alecia and surprisingly Lexi Yao.? Ever since they first met, Anna had a friend who was impervious to the twisting of people Anna did.

As Hou Yi moved more he looked at the time and said to Anna "Sleep for a little longer.? You need it." He leant over and gave her a brief kiss, before she snuggled back under the covers and drifted back to sleep.

For Hou Yi, as he settled in the dining area, he focused on reading emails that had come in overnight that needed addressing.? He needed the break, but ever since Lu Jingho's death, businesses had been hectic.? His death in prison distorted the reaction of the public.? They had forgotten about his crimes, and despite the leaks of his in-prison behaviour public manipulations were such that the blame for what happened was directed at him and Anna.? He had, thank goodness been able to shield Anna from that, because she would have blamed herself for that even more.

It had been hard work with the public relations team to deal with the negative impacts on the business but ten days ago, help came from the most surprising direction.? Lu Jinhu had, with the permission of prison authorities, and after speaking to Alecia, agreed to make a public statement.? The details of what he had done to his own son including his coerced behaviour and the viciousness of the assessment of his father had turned the tide of public opinion.

He knew he was going to come clean today about the interactions with Lu Jinhu as he had given him a gift to Little Jang, and the interesting discussion he had when it was provided.? It seemed getting free of his father and Yang Lin, he realised what he had done and was remorseful for the harm he had done.? That made Hou Yi realise that in the end, there was some good still in Lu Jinhu but he had to figure out his own future.

He slipped out of bed, quickly showered and moved out of the room to let Anna sleep.? As he headed into the kitchen, Adam and Ben had arrived in after milking.? Hou Yi asked to have a quick discussion with them, as he knew he needed a sounding board to determine how to raise the issue of Lu Jinhu with Anna.? Their initial reaction was exactly as Hou Yi predicted.? They wanted to kill Lu Jinhu for what he wanted had done over the years to Anna, but when he explained what he had done that desire lessened a little bit.? But as they both agreed when they heard everything Anna needed to be told the whole truth, and Lu Jinhu's actions as hiding things would only be hurtful later.

As the morning drifted on, everyone slowly came into the casual dining area for breakfast and Anna finally made her way into the room a little after 9:15am, to find everyone gathered there waiting for her.? Little Jang was being passed from person to person, and he was happy with all the attention that he was receiving.

Susan responded seeing her sister "Well hello miss sleepyhead, we wondered if you were ever going to join us,"
