When she found out about their indecent affair, she felt betrayed and disgusted. She hated Li XinWen and loathed Xue Rui. She was so angry at her brother that she didn't even try asking him for the truth and never gave him a chance to explain himself. That was her one regret, letting her brother die without having the opportunity to say that she forgave him for what he had done.
She felt her strength give way and she found herself crouched on the sidewalk as tears suddenly welled up from her eyes. "I'm sorry Ah'Wen," she whispered through the tears. But that incident was still ways away. Exactly five years before the apocalypse. Yes, she was given another chance and had traveled back from the future.
‘I can fix this,’ she thought as she stood up. She wiped away the tears from her face and continued walking towards home. This time, Li JingHua was determined to do all it takes to protect her two brothers. If she could prevent their mother from turning that would be better. But with the knowledge of the future, she knew that their mother will not survive the transition. 'It's alright... There are still five years... that is enough time to prepare and maybe, just maybe, there is a way to save mom...’ Li JingHua sighed as she looked up at the night sky. She shook her head to clear the unwanted memories as she quickly made her way home.
The apocalypse that Li JingHua witnessed five years into the future was devastating, to say the least. At this time, her mother was still alive and if she truly cannot change their mother's fate, she was going to make sure she cherished their remaining time together. Li JingHua decided that she was going to share the information regarding the apocalypse as well as her time travel as soon as Li XinWen made a full recovery. It was imperative that Li XinWen was at his full strength when they begin preparations for the apocalypse.
They would need financing to purchase everything that they'll need. Working at a brokerage firm has allowed her to acquire the knowledge as to which businesses were profitable to invest in. Hours and hours of observing financial data gave her the acumen to ascertain when it was time to buy or to sell the shares. In spite of this, the pay was not as lucrative. The commissions were not as high. She'll be looking to Li XinWen and his years of accumulated savings to aid their preparations. She'll be asking him for capital and together with her knowledge of the future as well as in the financial market she'll grow the money and finance their preparations for the apocalypse.
As for Xue Rui, she could care less for that scum of a man. If possible, she'd rather he died on the first day of the apocalypse. But she knows it won't happen. For some reason, the heavens decided to bless him with tri-awakening abilities. It is unfortunate, but Li JingHua cannot do anything about it. At the very least, she knows that the further away Xue Rui is from her family, the safer it is. After all, Xue Rui was the catalyst for Li XinWen's death in her past life.
