âHow much did it cost?â Although Yang Ming wasnât ill, Yang Ming also knew that if he entered such a hospital, the cost wonât be little.
âNot much. No need to return it to meâŠâ Zhou Jiajia smiled.
âHow can that be? This trip should have cost about a few hundred dollars?â Yang Ming asked.
âWell⊠more than six hundred, but itâs okay. Arenât we good friends?!â Zhou Jiajia laughed.
â Hehe âŠâ Yang Ming laughed too. He no longer insisted on it. At this moment, he even had an illusion. How good would it be if that incident wasnât instigated by Zhou Jiajia? Then the relations.h.i.+p between me and Zhou Jiajia should be closer than it was now. Although we couldnât be a couple, we should still be close friends, right?
After stopping a taxi, Yang Ming took Zhou Jiajia back home. The car stopped at the door of Zhou Jiajiaâs housing community in New Town Ruixi. Zhou Jiajia looked at Yang Ming with some reluctance. She couldnât help but whisper, âCan you give me a hugâŠâ
The desire of mankind was still the hardest to be satisfied. Although Zhou Jiajia felt that this wasnât appropriate, there was still some hope to progress further with Yang Ming.
Yang Ming was thinking about the 360-degree wide-angle ability while he was beating the little punk so he didnât hear what Zhou Jiajia said.
â En ? What did you say?â Yang Ming asked.
âNo⊠nothing. I said Iâll see you the day after tomorrowâŠâ Zhou Jiajia didnât have the courage to say it againâŠ
âOkay, see you the day after tomorrow.â Yang Ming nodded. âOnce youâre back, drop me a text message, just to let me know youâre fine.â
Although the sky was now turning bright, the people in the community were still very few. Zhou Jiajia came home so late because of Yang Ming, so he felt it was necessary to look after her.
âOkay!â Zhou Jiajia replied with excitement. Yang Ming, are you caring about me? Zhou Jiajia felt so happy!
âBe careful on your journey.â Yang Ming nodded to Zhou Jiajia.
Zhou Jiajia wasnât sleepy at all. She returned to her home happily and picked up her cell phone. She was about to send a text message to Yang Ming, but someone tapped on her back. âJiajia, where have you been? How come youâre only back now?â
Zhou Jiajia was shocked and quickly put down the phone and turned around. âMom, I went out to eat with my cla.s.smatesâŠâ
âI know that you and your cla.s.smates went out to eat, but how can you eat until five in the morning?â Mother Zhou asked with a solemn face, âJiajia, have you done anything you shouldnât have?â
âMom, what could I have done?â Zhou Jiajia frowned as if she was wronged. âMy cla.s.smate drank too much, and we went to the hospitalâŠâ
âMale or female?â Mother Zhou asked seriously.
âMale⊠Itâs maleâŠâ Zhou Jiajia didnât dare to hide from her mother.
âMale? Just you and him?â Zhouâs expression became serious.
âYes⊠It wasâŠâ Zhou Jiajia nodded.
âJiajia, are you in a relations.h.i.+p now?â Mother Zhou asked Zhou Jiajia as she glared at her daughter.
âI⊠I⊠Mom, please stop asking⊠I donât want to talk about itâŠâ Zhou Jiajia was nervous.
âJiajia, you tell your mother the truth. Yes or no?â Mother Zhou asked forcefully.
âAi ya. .. Mom, what do you want? So what if I am? So what if Iâm not?â Zhou Jiajia stood there with a bitter face.
âWho was that boy? What does his family do?â Mother Zhou asked.
âI donât know⊠What are you asking these for?â Zhou Jiajiaâs initial good mood began to fall.
âWhy am I asking these? Isnât it for you? Jiajia, have you thought about your ident.i.ty? If you want to get a boyfriend, of course, you have to find someone who complements your status! I must investigate the boyâs family background!â Mother Zhou said.
âMom, whatâs the point of investigating all these?â Zhou Jiajia frowned and said carefully, âIn addition, I have not yet established a relations.h.i.+p with himâŠâ
âNo?â Mother Zhou sighed with relief. âThatâs good. Tell your mom who the boy is. Iâll look for someone to investigate it. If he compliments you, mom wonât go against it. But if he doesnât deserve you, then you can stop speaking to him!â
Zhou Jiajiaâs naturally knew about Yang Mingâs family background. When she heard her motherâs words, she couldnât help but look gloomy. She reluctantly said, âMom, can you not care about this? I will handle it myself.â
âNo! My son-in-law must be the right person who has the right status, or you bring shame to your father too!â Mother Zhou said firmly up front.
âMom, Iâm tired. I have to restâŠâ Zhou Jiajia was helpless, but there was no other way.
At this time, Zhou Jiajiaâs cell phone rang. Zhou Jiajia glanced at the caller ID on the cell phone. It was actually Yang Mingâs call. Her heart was excited. She just wanted to answer, but before she realized, her mother had already s.n.a.t.c.hed the cell phoneâŠ
Not long after, Yang Ming arrived home and rushed for a hot bath. He washed away the smell of disinfectants and was ready to sleep. He suddenly remembered that Zhou Jiajia hadnât sent a text message to him yet!
Yang Ming frowned, Could this little girl have gotten into any trouble? If it was in the past, Yang Ming would be too lazy to care about her, but now it was different. Yang Ming wouldnât choose not to care about her.
He quickly got Zhou Jiajiaâs number and dialed it. After the call was connected, Yang Ming quickly asked, âZhou Jiajia, have you arrived home? Why didnât you send me a text message?â
Mother Zhou just saw the caller ID on the phone. At this moment, she heard Yang Mingâs tone of speech and it immediately became clear to her. It turned out that the boy who went out with her daughter was Yang Ming!
Everything becomes easier knowing the name.
â Oh ? Are you Yang Ming?â Mother Zhou asked.
â En ?â Yang Ming was shocked. F*ck, could it be that unlucky? Even Jiajia is also kidnapped by others? Thinking of this, Yang Ming immediately asked, âWho are you? Whereâs Zhou Jiajia?â
âIâm Zhou Jiajiaâs mother. Zhou Jiajia has already rested. Why are you looking for her?â Mother Zhou said
âThis was the case!â Yang Ming sighed. Zhou Jiajia probably was too tired that she fell asleep right after she went home. Yang Ming felt relieved, âI just wanted to confirm that Zhou Jiajia was home. I am relieved.â
â Oh? You really care about my familyâs Jiajia!â Mother Zhou said, âJust now, you and Jiajia went out?â
âYes, auntie,â Yang Ming said.
âI heard that you went to the hospital?â Mother Zhou asked, âWas there such a thing?â
âYes, I have to thank Zhou Jiajia regarding this matterâŠâ Yang Ming said it, and yet there was a cloud of questions in his heart. Didnât Zhou Jiajia fall asleep? How can her mother know about my hospitalization? Whatâs happening?
âAlright. Thatâs it for now, Cla.s.smate Yang Ming.â Mother Zhou said as she hung up the phone.
Yang Ming shook his head and threw the phone aside. He went to bed.
Zhou Jiajia looked at her mother furiously, âMom, how can you pick up my phone casually like that?â
âWhy not? Didnât I give birth to you?â Mother Zhou said in disapproval, âI know. Isnât he called Yang Ming? I will investigate him the next day!â
âMom, I hate you!â Zhou Jiajia s.n.a.t.c.hed back her cell phone. She couldnât help it but tears starting flowing down! Zhou Jiajia felt aggrieved. So sad, the relations.h.i.+p with Yang Ming finally went one step further. Yang Ming called to care for me for the first time, but I didnât receive itâŠ
Regarding Yang Mingâs family background, it was impossible to hide it from my mother now. When my mother learns of it, she would definitely stop us. What should I doâŠ
Zhou Jiajia went to bed, covered her head with a quilt, and cried out of grievanceâŠ
Mother Zhou sighed and said, âJiajia, Iâm doing this for you! You would understand laterâŠâ
âI donât careâŠâ Zhou Jiajia said painfully.
âForget it. Think about it yourself.â After that, Mother Zhou left Zhou Jiajiaâs room.
Yang Ming was awakened by Yang Liâs phone call. Yang Ming picked up the cell phone while complaining. Yang Li was smarter this time. She didnât call the landline at home but hara.s.sed Yang Ming directly through his cell phone.
âHeyâŠâ Yang Ming picked up the phone with a sense of powerlessness.
âYang Ming, why havenât you gotten up yet? Are you still going for the meal?â Yang Li asked.
âHow do you know Iâm not up yet?â Yang Ming questioned.
âListening to your voice, I know you havenât woken up! At 1 p.m. in the afternoon, I will come to pick you up at your door.â Yang Li said, âI wonât call you again as I have an appointed schedule.â
âOkay, what time is it?â Yang Ming asked.
âAbout tenâŠâ Yang Li chuckled.
âF*ck!â Yang Ming almost exploded. He shouted at the phone. âYang Li! Youâre saying that you would come in the afternoon at one, and yet youâre calling me at ten?â
