Family With Six Treasure (13)

      Still respectful, the butler explained, "I'm sorry; Mr. Chow is not at home right now. Please give me your name, address and phone number and I'll give them to Mr. Chow."

     "When will he be back?" Professor Li asked very loudly.

     The louder Mr. Li got, the more politely the butler spoke. "He usually comes back quite late. He's rarely here for lunch. Most of the time Mr. Chow is at the library."

     Raising his voice to its loudest, the Professor demanded to know, "What library? I'm losing my patience. I want to see him immediately." He is shouting by the time he finishes talking.

     "What's the matter?" the loud words awakened the young Caucasian man who came out of a room to the left of the entryway.

   This white guy must be the butler's employer, was wearing a pair of very sort red paisley pajama shorts, with nothing covering his bare muscular top. His arms wrapped around a beautiful Chinese girl. The beauty was wearing a red paisley pajama top, revealing legs that look even longer because they were bare.

     If this wasn't his Number Three Daughter Celia, then who could it be?

     And wasn't the young man with her that unisex looking motorcycle character who had disrupted the entire neighborhood with his presence recently? The fact that his hair was now silver and blue didn't disguise him at all.

     Professor Li was furious. So furious that he wanted to teach Chuck a lesson and punish Celia. Before Professor could do more than raise his hand, two bodyguards, one black, one Caucasian, appeared from nowhere. One held the Professor's left arm; the other held his right arm. At this point, Celia realized that the angry man was her father. Quickly she ran from Chuck's side towards her father, ready to protect him.

     Simultaneously Chuck also realized who it was and told the bodyguards, "Stop. It's Celia's father."

     Turning to the butler, who has been watching the proceedings quite calmly, Chuck instructed him, a bit tongue in cheek, "Chester, please set up the tea service and prepare some Oolong tea for Professor Li. He is a scholar and must be treated with respect."

     Turning to Professor Li, Chuck said, "Celia is 21 years old, Professor Li. You're treating her s if she were still sixteen."

     Of course, Professor Li didn't want to drink Chuck's tea even though he was very thirsty. Nor did he want to hear Chuck's words. And he didn't even want to look at Celia. The Professor stormed out of the room and onto the elevator.
