Crashing Into You - Chapter 344
The doorbell rang and Tan Ja Nin received the door. She saw Lu Jioasheng and Lee Chin Mei standing outside the door.
“Sister-out-law!” Lee Chin Mei hugged Tan Ja Nin when she saw her.
Tan Ja Nin hugged her too and nodded at Lu Jiaosheng who was behind Lee Chin Mei.
“Come in!” She said and made a way so they could enter the house.
Lee Chin Mei immediately run over to his brother when she saw him sitting at the sofa at the living area.
“Argh!” Lee Jin Ho uttered in dismay as his sister almost crushed her body into him with her tight hug.
“Oh I’m sorry GeGe. I am just so happy that you’ve already discharged from the hospital.” she sat beside Lee Jin Ho and her arms were still wrapped around Lee Jin Ho, she just loosen a bit.
“What took you so long?” Lee Jin Ho asked.
“Ah we just went to Brother’s Lu house to pick up his laptop.” Lee Chin Mei casually answered.”Right, brother Lu?”
“You went to his home?” Lee Jin Ho frowned.
Lee Chin Mei nooded, unaware of the frown on Lee Jin Ho’s face because her gaze was at Lu Jiaosheng as she waits for his confirmation.
“On our way here, Wu Charie called and told me that there was an issue in our contracted tool that the developers from her company could not resolve. So we just dropped by at my place to pick up my laptop to check what’s the issue.” Lu Jiaosheng made an explanation.
Lee Jin Ho looked at him and he seems believable.
“Hope you guys don’t mind if I go check the issue first. I’ll just join you guys later.” Said Lu Jioasheng.
“Why don’t you eat first, it’s not good if you eat past lunch time. You might develop some stomach problem later on.” said Lee Chin Mei and the concern was evident on her voice.
Lu Jiaosheng smiled. It felt so good to hear those concern words from Lee Chin Mei.
“It will just be quick.” Said Lu Jioasheng, trying to get Lee Chin Mei’s approval.
“But, it’s an issue, what if you didn’t immediately get to see where the problem is?” Lee Chin Mei rebutted. She doesn’t Lu Jioasheng to skip lunch.
“Okay, okay..!” Lu Jiaosheng retreated.
Tan Ja Nin looked at Lee Jin Ho and he gave a look like ‘I told you so’
Tan Ja Nin returned her gaze to Lu Jiaosheng and Lee Chin Mei.
“I’ll just prepare the table.” Said Tan Ja Nin.
“I’ll give you a hand sister-out-law” said Lee Chin Mei and stood up.
“Okay.”
The two girls went to the dining area while the two boys waited at the sofa at the living area.
“So how’s school?” Tan Ja Nin asked as they prepared the table.
“Quite good. It’s our last semester and most of us are busy looking for a university for admission in college.”
“Nice. So are you really decided to study in the UK.”
“Yes. I’ve already received the acceptance letter from them.”
“Aren’t you afraid of living alone in the foreign country?”
“I’m quite afraid, who would not be?” Lee Chin Mei answered.
“That’s right. I was also afraid the first time I moved to New York before”
“Yeah, but I think it would be more bearable since Wang Chen will also be taking his degree in Oxford.”
“Wang Chen? Is he your boyfriend?” Tan Ja Nin teasingly asked.
Lee Chin Mei laughed “Nah! I don’t have a boyfriend! He is just a mere classmate that happens to be a friend.”
“That’s good” Tan Ja Nin said. “At least you can concentrate on your studies. Lovelife can wait.”
Lee Chin Mei nodded and gave Tan Ja Nin a smile.
“Do you have any crush now?” Tan Ja Nin teasingly asked.
“Crush?” Lee Chin Mei was quite stunned. She thought of Lu Jiaosheng. But he wasn’t her crush anymore. Her feeling for him was more than just a crush. “I don’t have any crush right now.” She answered.
“Oh!” Tan Ja Nin said and can’t help but smile. Her ability to fish information was working. “But have you had any crush before?”
“Uhm!” Lee Chin Mei immediately answered.
“Care to share?” Tan Ja Nin asked.
Lee Chin Mei knitted her brows. Since when does Tan Ja Nin got interested on her lovelife?
“I only had one crush before…” she said.
“And who is this lucky person?”
“I wish I could tell you but I’m too shy to admit it.”
“Why?” Tan Ja Nin asked.
“It’s a tough secret. Nobody knows it.”
Really? But your brother knew that you’ve got a crush on Lu Jiaosheng. Tan Ja Nin said to herself. Or maybe is it just Lee Jin Ho’s imagination that was infatuated with Lu Jiaosheng before.
“Is he somebody that I know of?” Tan Ja Nin could not let this opportunity to confirm if Lee Ji. ho’s claim was true.
Lee Chin Mei face blushed.
“Sister-out-law, it was just a thing of a past. In fact I don’t a have a crush on him anymore.” She said trying to dismiss their conversation about it because it has started to make feel uncomfortable.
“Yeah, so why are you being so shy to admit it. It was just a thing of a past and he doesn’t mean anything to you now. Unless you still have a crush on him and you are just denying it!” Tan Ja Nin said teasingly.
Lee Chin Mei could not help but laughed.”Sister-out-law, you sounds like a gossip-monger”
Tan Ja Nin burst out laughing! “Yeah, this is something that you acquired overtime when you’re in a world of showbiz!”
The two men in the living area heard their crisp laughter.
“Those girls are having a good time at the dining area!” Lu Jioasheng said. “Why don’t we go there now and join them?”
Lee Jin Ho scoffed. “For sure they are talking about people. Gossip…”
Lu Jiaosheng laughed “I bet!” He doesn’t have any idea that he was the main character on it.
