Chapter 17 - We are just a train buddy

Mother Shen was overwhelmed not just surprised. He thanked his son secretly for bring Ling to the house. She dragged Ling straight to the dining room after she entered the house. She started feeding her one by one.

Ling couldn't resist Mother Shen since she is Sweet as a sugar.

Ling was thinking inside, Why is this entire family dragging me everywhere. These two elders seems to pleased to see me. Ling was surprised to see such simple behavior from such wealthy family. She liked them, so she don't want them to misunderstood her relationship with Mingyu. So took some courage and said

"It's very nice to see you Mr.Shen and Mrs. Shen. Don't take Mingyu's word seriously. we are not dating exactly. He is just bluffing around. we both are just train buddy"

Both Elders were shocked to hear the word train buddy.

Mingyu wanted to say something. But Grandpa called him and said

" Mingyu, go and inform Grandma that we have a special guest. Ask her to come down to dinning room table".

He could only reply" Yes Grandpa, I will bring Grandma"

He had a sad face like his candy is been taken away

After he left, Grandpa Shen held Ling's hands and said

"Even though you call Mingyu as your train buddy, I know he is special to you. Don't think too much right away. Time gives answers to every quest in your heart. For now, Just Cherish your happy moments. You will not know one day you might fall in love with him. and then that you shouldn't regret of wasting your previous opportunities. I hope you don't mind this Grandpa's words. "

Ling immediately held the old man's hand and said.

"Mr.Shen, I don't mind at all, you are not showing any baise in your words. those were the most honest opinion I have heard recently.

Actually I have a familiar feeling around all of you. I don't have any family. I lost my parents when I was young and I was brought up by my Maternal grandmother in London. "

When Ling mentioned about having a familiar feeling around them, Both the Shen's looked at each other.

Ling was little down after she mentioned about her parents. Mother Shen noticed it. Grandpa too, so he said

"Ling dear, call me Grandpa first. Remember Mother Shen said Mingyu s friends are family. she really means by that. You have us now as your family whether you will be with Mingyu or not in future"

Mother Shen nodded in agreement with Elder Shen. She wanted to change the mood, so she asked Ling

"Sweetie, please tell mother first, how you and Mingyu became train buddies."

Ling started telling her about travel from her University to City T and her meeting with Mingyu.

When she finished, Mother Shen was the one who was surprised. She realized how much her son adores this girl. She patted on ling s head with affection.

Tai and Guanyu came home to visit Grandpa. When they saw Ling, they were very surprised. Tai was jumping and hugging Ling.

She thought she will visit her house, stay for few minutes and leave after speaking to Grandpa.

But when she saw Ling, she was the happiest person.

"Ling Jie, you are here. I m so happy to see you"

By the time Mingyu arrived back.

Tai was holding Ling's hands and said

"I will stay longer at house today since you are here."

Mingyu said immediately " No need, you go back to your hostel"

Tai ignored his brother and continue to hug Ling.

Guanyu was standing still as nobody was noticing. So he came forward, he pushed Tai away and hugged Ling without notice.

and Said

"Sister in law, I m your only brother in-law Guanyu. Finally we get to meet"

" I m also very happy to meet, but I m not your sister in law, just your brother friend"

Guanyu replied " It's okay, I'm still very happy to meet you. let you,me and Tai hang out more often"

Ling glared at Mingyu, what did you tell your family about me, why do they assume I m your girlfriend.

But at the same time, Ling was taken back for a moment. She was treated very special in this house. Inside she was thinking, what did she do to deserve this special treatment from this family.

Mingyu was not happy, he was feeling very Jealous. he thought to spend some quality time with Ling at his house. But his family seems like they are not going to leave her alone.

All of them reached living area, Tai and Guanyu sat beside Ling. They were speaking non stop. Mother Shen went to make a phonecall. Elder Shen sat closer to Mingyu and said

"Grandson, it's okay. Don't drink a jar of vinegar now"

That moment Grandma Shen came down. Ling didn't care about the people around her.

She went straight to the Grandma Shen and hugged her tight. Ling said

"Where were you, I missed you so much"

Everyone's jaw had dropped. Especially Mingyu was surprised. He managed to ask his grandma

"Do you know her before"

Grandma still hugging Ling said

"Yes, you Fool"
