Crashing Into You - Chapter 301
Ho Min Lin gave Tan Ja Nin a mischievous smile before she left with Tan Ji Nan to meet their relatives. After they left, Tan Ja Nin has sat on Lee Jin Ho and Lu Jiaosheng’s table.
“Are you guys okay here? Aren’t you bored?” Tan Ja Nin asked.
“Well, Lee Jin Ho have no choice but to keep me company since he didn’t bring his girlfriend here.” Lu Jiaosheng said.
Tan Ja Nin made a cough. “Why don’t I introduce you to my single female cousins?” She said to Lu Jiaosheng.
“Do you have cousins that are equally beautiful as you?” Lu Jiaosheng asked.
“Of course, we have beautiful genes. But I will only introduce you to my single female cousins who are about the same age like us. I will not include those who are still in High School or Uni.” Tan Ja Nin scoffed.
Lu Jiaosheng made a long face. “I think no need to introduce me to any of them. I’m not quite interested anyways!”
“Why? You should meet new gals now. Who knows, your Miss Right could be one of them” said Tan Ja Nin.
Lu Jiaosheng just shrugged his shoulders.
“Is it because you’re have really got smitten by that girl you met in Hong Kong, that’s why you already lost interest to meet other woman?” Tan Ja Nin asked.
“Right, but it was really impossible for me and that girl so I might be single for the rest of my life!”
“Woah! If that’s happen, your good genes will stop from you. Such a loss” Tan Ja Nin said.
“Well, I told Lee Jin Ho if I don’t have a girlfriend when I turned 32, I will consider his sister, she could be my savior”
“Lee Chin Mei?” Tan Ja Nin laughed histerically
Lee Jin Ho gave Lu Jiaosheng cold look. This guy was really courting his death.
Lu Jiaosheng met Lee Jin Ho’s cold lool but wasn’t bothered by it.
“It is also impossible for you and Lee Chin Mei” Tan Ja Nin said
“Why do you say so?” Lu Jiaosheng said and knotted his brows.
“Because you are not her type!” Lee Jin Ho said.
“What is her type then?” Lu Jiaosheng curiously asked.
“She wanted someone who’s about the same age like her. Why would she want someone who’s 9 years older than her?”
Lu Jiaosheng frowned “Age doesn’t matter!” He said. “Maybe now yes, her preference would be someone who’s about the same age like her. But when she turned 21 or 22, she will realized that older men are more attractive than boys!”
Tan Ja Nin burst out laughing. “What a confidence you’ve got there!”
“Well by the time she reached the age of 22, she surely have met a lot of guy in England.” Lee Jin Ho said.
“England?!”
“Yes, my sister got her acceptance letter from Oxford University. Early next year she will be there to process her enrollment.”
“She’ll be leaving China?” Lu Jiaosheng was stunned.
“Uhm! She will stay in England for years until she finish her degree.”
Lu Jiaosheng suddenly felt alarmed. If Lee Chin Mei will be travelling to England and stay there, how can he monitor her whereabouts and what she doing there? It is unless, he will hire a private investigator in England to keep an eye on her and he was willing hire even if it will cost him too much penny. But how can he assure that Lee Chin Mei will not fall inlovr with someone while she’s in England.
Ahh his mind seems about to explode.
“Why would she need to go to England just to study. If we also have a great school here in China!”
“But Oxford is Oxford!” said Tan Ja Nin.
“I know but how can you allow her to live in a country without her family? How can you protect her then if she’s miles away from you?” Lu Jiaosheng said.
“You don’t have to worry about that. Our family will hire a bodyguard for her while she’s studying in England to ensure that she’s safe.”
“I see.” Lu Jiaosheng said. He was lost for words and don’t know how to convince Lee Jin Ho to not allow Lee Chin Mei to travel and study abroad because it seems that they have already planned it out.
“It is also her dream to study in Oxford and our family give our full support”
“What course will she be taking in?” Tan Ja Nin asked, she also surprised that Lee Chin Mei will be studying abroad.
“She will be taking an IT related course.” Lee Jin Ho answered.
“Oh, Lu Jiaosheng your also an IT degree holder right?” Tan Ja Nin suddenly remember.
Lu Jiaosheng nodded but his mind was already in a total blank.
“Maybe you take good care of her in the future. She can probably learn a thing or two from you when it comes to IT” Tan Ja Nin said.
“My sister is so smart and she can definitely make places in the world of IT in the future.” Lee Jin Ho commented. He doesn’t want to Lee Chin Mei to rely on Lu Jiaosheng help in future and be indebted to him.
“She definitely will!” Tan Ja Nin said in agreement.
“Lu Jiaosheng…do you think Lee Chin Mei..” Tan Ja Nin could not finish what she was about to say when she noticed that Lu Jiaosheng was spacing out. She looked at Lee Jin Ho. But Lee Jin Ho seems to not be bothered by it.
“Good evening everyone, may I have your attention please?” The voice of the host was suddenly heard. That made Lu Jiaosheng turned back to reality. “I hope everyone is enjoying the night with our lovely couple who got married today! Thou the night is still young but I’m pretty sure that our Mr. and Mrs. Tan could no longer wait to be aloneand run to their honeymoon so let’s give the couple’s privacy as soon as possible. We will now be doing the bridal bouquet toss that our single ladies here are waiting. So I am calling on our beautiful bride here to come here at the center.”
“And now I’m calling all the single ladies out there to be here at the center too.” The host said.
Tan Ja Nin did not move from where she seated. Lee Jin Ho asked her. “Why are you not going there?”
Tan Ja Nin did not reply. The truth was she doesn’t want to participate.
“The bride is requesting her sister-in-law to come here and join the single ladies here!” The host said.
“Go now!” Lee Jin Ho urged her.
She doesn’t have a choice but to strode off to wehere the single ladies at.
“Jia You!” Lee Jin Ho said to Tan Ja Nin.
Ho Min Lin looked at the single ladies in front of her and noted on her memory the location where Tan Ja Nin stood at before she turned around.
“Okay, ladies, are you now ready to catch the bridal bouquet? Mrs. Tan before you throw the bridal bouquet let me ask of one of the single ladies here on she feel about this?” The host said and started moving into Tan Ja Nin’s location. “I wanted to ask our celebrity guest here who happened to be the sister of the groom on what she’s feeling right now. Ms. Tan Ja Nin, do you believe that if you catch the bridal bouquet you will be the next person who will get married?” The host asked Tan Ja Nin.
“I don’t believe on that superstitious belief. Because for me I will get married once I feel like I’m ready to start a family and not by the pressure that this bridal bouquet will be giving to me.”
The host nodded “Glad to hear your views on this matter, Ms Tan. Goodluck!”
Tan Ja Nin smiled at the host. “Okay, Mrs. Tan are you now ready to throw the bridal bouquet?”
“I am!” Said Ho Min Lin.
“Okay, ladies get ready! I will counting up to three. One. Two. Three.”
Ho Min Lin threw the bouquet and Tan Ja Nin was surprised when it landed straight into her hands.
“Wow, congratulations Ms. Tan Ja Nin, please take your seat to the bride please?” Said the host “Now let me call on groom here at the center for our wedding garter toss and also all the single men here to come forward.”
Lu Jiaosheng and Lee Jin Ho were among the single men who stood up and walked to the center. All single girls at the reception were smitten by these two.
“Wow we have a bunch of single men here at the venue today. May I kindly asked this gentleman here.” The host walked towards to Lee Jin Ho. “I can see that most of the girls here are swooming over you but let me ask, are you going to fight your way just to get the wedding garter here?”
“Of course, who would want to slip this opportunity to catch the wedding garter and became Ms Tan Ja Nin’s partner later in the game?” Lee Jin Ho said boldly.
