She got into her car and started driving when, "Ohh, I forgot to buy mouth fresheners." and started looking for shops. She drove slowly looking for a variety store and stopped her car when she spotted one.
She got out of the car, got some chocolate flavoured mouth fresheners, mint flavoured and strawberry flavoured. She also got some tissue papers and lip balms.
As she headed out of the stop towards her car, she called Yue Qing. Qing picked up the call after a few minutes, "Jiii, what's up?"
"Are you free tonight?"
"Yes, I'm home right now. Wanna come over."
"No, I'll come pick you up. Let's have dinner at my home. I also need to talk to you about something."
"Alright then."
Ji-a put what she brought in the back seat of the car and rushed back to the shop to buy some things for Yue Qing's family.
She brought some health supplements for Yue Qing's mom, cookies, fruit juices, biscuits, and oatmeals.
When it comes to spending, Ji-a was a spendthrift.
She went to Yue Qing's house and the gate was already open. Yue Qing's house was large. Her dad left them a lot of fortunes so they didn't have any shortage of money.
When Yue Qing heard a car coming inside, she ran out of the house. Ji-a came out of the car with large packages in her hand. "Those are not bombs, are they?" asked Qing.
"How did you know?" asked back Ji-a smiling.
"I do know you really well."
Just then Qing's mom came out. Ji-a jump towards Qing's mom and hugged her. "Aunty, you lost a lot of weight. Is this witch making you do all the work?" asked Ji-a pointing in Qing's direction.
"Yes, I've to serve her day and night. I'm so tired." replied Qing's mother making a crying face.
"Mom.."
"Hahaha.. " both Ji-a and Qing's mom burst out laughing.
"By the way, auntie I'm borrowing Qing for the night. I'll send her back tomorrow morning." said Ji-a.
Qing's mom forrowed her eyebrows and asked, "Do you both like each others?"
Ji-a and Qing looked at each other and then looked at Qing's mom.
"Aunty, I swear that I'll never come here if keep doing that.
" Hahahahaha.. You should've seen those looks on you faces. I was just joking. Get going, it's gonna be late." said Qing's mom.
" Right, I'll get my keys. " said Qing.
" What? We're going separately?"
"Are you going to drive me back home tomorrow ?" asked Qing rolling her eyes.
"Absolutely not." answered Ji-a sticking out her tongue.
After about half an hour, they reached Ji-a's home. Ji-a's grandma came out hearing Ji-a's car. She saw Ji-a and Qing walking in together. "Is this Qing?"
"Yes, grandma." said Qing.
"I almost didn't recognise you. Why didn't visit frequently?"
"I've been busy with work, that's why, grandma." said Qing.
"Alright, alright. Let's go inside. You're having dinner, right?"
"Yes grandma." said Qing.
Then turning to Ji-a, she said, "This girl. You should've called earlier so that we can prepare a hearty meal."
"I wanted to surprise you all." said Ji-a showing her bright smile.
They went inside the living room only to see an middle-aged couple talking with Ji-a's mom.
"Ohh, I forgot to tell you we had guests. Humphh." Ji-a's grandma said sourly and went towards her room.
Ji-a's mom also had a complicated expression on her face. She instantly lit up seeing Ji-a and Qing coming inside. "Honey, you're home. Qing, it's been so long. I've missed you so much." and she hugged Qing lovingly. "Sit here, Qing. You too, honey."
"These are Mr. and Mrs. Yang. They are an old acquaintance of ours." Mrs. Zhang didn't seem happy introducing them.
"This one's your daughter. No wonder my son likes her so much." said Mrs. Yang turning towards Ji-a.
Ji-a didn't say anything.
Mrs. Yang further continued, "You don't have to worry about working. Our family's well-off so, don't worry about unemployment. I heard that you still don't have a job. We'll accept you even if you don't have a job. You just need to be a good housewife, cooking my son's favourite dishes and looking after us. We have a family business, so you don't need to worry about expenditures. "
Ji-a frowned hearing all those and Qing glared at the Yang couple. Ji-a now knew why her mom and grandma seemed unhappy.
" Excuse me, but I don't see the reason for you to say all those to me. I don't plan on marrying any soon and even if I marry, it wouldn't be in you family. I didn't study all these years to cook for someone I've never met." Ji-a said straightforwardly leaving the Yang couple thunderstruck.
" Girl, do you know how rude you are? "asked Mrs. Yang.
" Mrs. Yang, I'm afraid it's you who's rude. I've been listening this past half an hour to your nonsense. I don't plan on marrying off my daughter to someone she doesn't love. If we've made ourselves clear, you can leave. " It was Mrs. Zhang who spoke this time.
" Girl, you better think properly. You're lucky that my son likes you. " saying this, the Yang couple left.
" I'm so pissed off. " said Qing.
" Are they gone? " Grandma Zhang also came out of her room.
