PA Wen opened his mouth to speak but chickened out of his confession in the end . “Were you the ‘girlfriend’ who sent lunch to me?”
“Don’t overthink . Yezi suggested that we do so to piss off that junior of yours,” Xiao Yaojing scoffed, “and I only agreed to the suggestion because of my promise to Wen Shan . ”
PA Wen could only keep quiet when Xiao Yaojing talked so aggressively .
He would be lying if he said he wasn’t disappointed though .
Xiao Yaojing’s phone rang as she was holding the cold towel for PA Wen . PA Wen peeked at her phone and immediately knew who it was when he saw “Grand Empress Dowager” calling .
Xiao Yaojing didn’t look too happy to receive the call .
“What are you looking at? Never seen a phone ring before?” Xiao Yaojing grumbled before she grabbed her phone and answered the call . The person on the other end of the line spoke before Xiao Yaojing did .
“Have you found a job, Jing Jing? Your third aunt said that she knows someone who works at a bank in B City . Handsome young man, she said, and she managed to get his number! I am sending the number to you . Do something; talk to him . You are hitting your thirties; can’t you take this more seriously? Owning a house is not the same as having a family . Women should get married eventually, you—”
“Mother, mother, mother, what about me?” Xiao Yaojing interrupted her mother, “you complained when I didn’t have a house, then complained about me not having a boyfriend when I finally got a house . You—”
“So what? Why are you raising your voice? Who do you think I am doing all this for? Why do you think I am so worried? You never think about me . What if I died…”
Xiao Yaojing didn’t get to hear the rest of her mother’s sentence because PA Wen had snatched the phone from her before she could react .
“Hello, Auntie . I am Jing Jing’s boyfriend . I would love to pay you a visit sometime but Jing Jing and I are kind of in the middle of something right now . We will call you back later,” said PA Wen, who quickly dodged before Xiao Yaojing could hit him again .
“What? I have plenty of experience in situations like this . I only helped you as a friend, don’t take it too seriously,” said PA Wen as he tossed Xiao Yaojing’s phone at her .
Xiao Yaojing was still stunned at what happened and did not say a word .
Noticing that Xiao Yaojing had calmed down, PA Wen continued, “it will only provoke your mother even more if you argued with her . She would have bought a train ticket and showed up at your doorstep before you know it . ”
Xiao Yaojing’s phone vibrated as she received a message . She pounced on it before PA Wen could look at it . “God damn it, Wen Tao, my mom is going to buy a flight ticket and fly over here now . ”
PA Wen had already fled to the door . If he had learnt anything from Xiao Yaojing after all these years, it was how to run faster . 1
Wen Tao opened the door and trapped Xiao Yaojing inside her house . “Consider it a technical error, I didn’t know that our mothers were so different . Feel free to call me if your mother does show up at your doorstep . I will be going now . ”
“Stay there, Wen Tao . I will kill you, I tell you!” Xiao Yaojing shouted from inside the house while trying to pull the door open, but to no avail .
PA Wen shuddered and decided to leave the place . He had reached the stairs by the time Xiao Yaojing managed to open the door and there was no way that Xiao Yaojing could outrun him .
“Very well, Wen Tao . Don’t let me see you again . ” Xiao Yaojing said angrily as she walked back to her unit .
PA Wen ran down the stairs without stopping . He leaned against his car door and panted heavily, still feeling the jitters from Xiao Yaojing’s violence .
