A new Western restaurant opened in the city, and only a few people came to dine. Zhao Jing followed the waiter, feeling very uneasy.
Yesterday, she received a call from a strange woman who claimed to be Yang Bin's mother and asked her to meet tonight.
She and Yang Bin are indeed very close. After chatting, they found out that they graduated from the same middle school. Later, Yang Bin went to high school in another city and went to college not far away from each other. Maybe they had passed each other on the street.
Pass.
His mother wanted to see him, so she was lying if she said she wasn't nervous.
"Miss, this is the private room reserved by Ms. Zheng, please come in."
"Okay, thank you!" She smiled at the waiter, took a deep breath, knocked on the door and went in.
No one is inside!
The appointed time was six o'clock in the evening, but she was five minutes early, and she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
At six o'clock, ten past six, half past six, and seven o'clock, just when she was restless, there were voices at the door. Zheng Huiwen held her mother's arm and complained about the lighting in the restaurant while walking.
"It's not a dance hall, why is it so dark? If my mother falls, you won't be able to eat, so you'll have to walk around."
Zhao Jing was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe.
"Hey, you are the teacher at No. 1 High School, Zhao Jing?"
Zheng Huiwen looked her up and down, with a condescending look that made people very uncomfortable.
"Hello, aunt!"
She looked at Zheng's mother and didn't know what to call her. The old lady's eyes were more critical than her daughter's, so she almost pointed a magnifying glass at Zhao Jing to find faults.
"Sit down!"
I heard that my grandson has a girlfriend, and the old lady always comes over to see her no matter what.
Zheng Huiwen was even more outrageous. In order to give Zhao Jing a show of strength, she deliberately said the time was six o'clock. She came after dinner at her parents' house.
The waiter asked them if they could order food?
Zheng Huiwen pouted and said, "Bring us a pot of tea. My mother likes West Lake Longjing and wants Mingqian tea."
"I'm sorry, madam, this is a Western restaurant and we don't provide Chinese tea."
Zheng Huiwen rolled her eyes and said, "You are the only one who knows so much? Bring a bottle of lemonade. There should be lemonade, right?"
Then what?
The waiter was at a loss as he held the menu.
"Why don't you go quickly? Wait for me to complain?"
At this point, Zhao Jing has given up on remaining friends with Yang Bin.
His mother won't like her, and her family is not worthy of him. She is self-aware of this and will not ask for trouble.
"Auntie, what did you want to say when you called me?"
Zheng Huiwen had a straight face and his eyes wandered over her face.
"Let's not beat around the bush, how did you meet Xiaobin and me?"
"Introduced by a friend."
"Which friend?" Who is so ignorant that he would sell his excellent son to others without his own consent?
"Aunt, you don't recognize me even if I tell you, right?"
Zheng Huiwen was choked and looked very ugly.
"What do your parents do?"
"They are all ordinary workers."
Zhao Jing was neither humble nor arrogant. After she figured it out, she was no longer nervous. She looked at Zheng Huiwen with a smile and said.
The smile that was originally very polite, decent and elegant, in Zheng Huiwen's opinion, was a provocation to her.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Ah? Auntie, why am I not laughing?"
"...Do you like my Xiaobin?"
"Auntie, I think you misunderstood. Yang Bin and I are just ordinary friends now."
"Ordinary friends? Who are you lying to?"
Zheng Huiwen has been staring at the jade pendant hanging outside her shirt. Her sister-in-law has one. It is said that her eldest brother bought it in Myanmar. It is exactly the same as the one hanging around Zhao Jing's neck.
Xiao Yingying also had it, but she was the only one in the whole family who didn't have it. She asked her eldest brother and was scolded by him. Maybe his eldest brother gave the jade pendant to Yang Bin, and then Yang Bin gave it to her.
"Your jade pendant is very beautiful. Where did you buy it?"
