CHAPTER 533 – Arrival
On the appointed day, Li Jing got a call from her grandfather that they had arrived at the airport and would be heading to his house in the city.
"Really? Okay great. I would come and pick you and auntie up."
"No need, darling. I have already called my driver. He should be here any minute from now."
"Oh… Alright, I would come to visit you when I finish from the office."
"Okay, dear. By the way, your auntie wants to talk to you," Lin Zian said passing the phone over to his sister-in-law.
"Oh thanks, gramps. Auntie?"
"Li Jing my love!" she squealed in excitement. "Guess who is in Star city!!"
"Tone it down, woman," Lin Zian scolded.
"Auntie!" Even Li Jing as loud as her aunty was, encouraged her further with a yell of her own.
She knew quite well that this was going to cause a problem between her granddad and her auntie but who cares? The old man just needs to be well aware that he is surrounded by youngsters now.
"Hahhaaaa…." She heard her auntie laugh heartily at whatever it was her granddad was saying and she smiled.
"How are you, auntie? Good afternoon."
"I am fine, my love. So fine. How is everything?"
"Everything is great," Li Jing replied. Her smile still shining on her face. If Ye Cheng could see her now, he would shake his head and poke her.
"And how is that handsome girl's heartbreaking husband of yours?"
"Auntie…"
"Relax. You know what I mean. His looks alone is always making them go gaga and not to speak of the fact that he chose you over them. Do you know just how many ladies have their hearts crushed now?"
"I know, many but their mishap and not mine. I, on the other hand, am happy and glad I got the world's best hubby," she boasted.
"I see. Well, cancel your visit today dear. We would e coming over ourselves."
"Hey, you need to rest your asses, auntie. You must be stressed out from your trip."
"You say it as though we travelled from West Africa or something. It was just a forty-five minutes plane ride here."
"Okay, I am sorry. Suit yourselves."
"Let the girl be, if she wants to see her dear old grandpa today, let her."
"Well, I want to see her and our in-law and I know he would be mega busy to visit us today so let us go," Lin Huilang argued with Lin Zian.
For a moment there, both of them completely forgot her presence and started arguing. It was not until Li Jing cleared her throat that they recalled they were on a call with her.
"Ah, sorry dear. Your grandfather and I just got into a mild argument."
"I can hear that. You two would never change. I used to think it was Uncle Lin Jie and gramps who were at each other's throats but now I see it is you. Like husband, like wife. He has rubbed off on you."
"Hey stop that. If your uncle hears that he is going to be sad."
"I know but that is why he loves me. I always say the truth hahaha…"
"Okay, that is it. Decide on which one you want. You come over to greet me today or we come over to see you and Ye Cheng?"
"Okay, you can come to visit us tomorrow. It would be nice arranging for a family dinner with Ye Cheng's mother. I would love for you all to get acquainted."
"His mother!" Lin Huilang exclaimed. "She is back?"
"Nodding her head, Li Jing answered when she realized she was not making a video call. "Yes, she is back."
"Wow! She left this city for years now and has never set foot in except now. I wonder what made her return after all these years. It has to be something extremely important for that to happen," Lin Huilang concluded.
"Realy? What might that be?" Lin Zian added.
"When he had Bai Qing Mei as a girlfriend, she did not show face. Even when he was going through his company's tough time, she still did not show face. S ut has to do with something that ties her heart and she cannot control it from there. Something like…"
She thought away, tapping on her chin as her mind ransacked her brain for a possible logical answer.
"Wait." A thought popped into her head and her eyes shone from realization and shock.
"Do not tell me, Li Jing."
"Do not tell you what?"
"Do not tell me that she came because of your marriage to Ye Cheng! She was not in support?"
Li Jing could neither say anything. She was just lost and wondered what to do with her auntie.
"Li Jing answer me. Did that lady walk all the way from the states just to come to quarrel you?"
"Aunty, please drop this. It would get no one anywhere to delve on such matters."
'Li Jing!"
"Auntie Lin Huilang. Let it be. It is not worth it. Calm down," Li Jing advised calmly.
"I am calm, dear. Perfectly calm. But what just occurred, no, that is uncalled for."
"It is all in the past now. She is no longer bitter towards me. She tried yes but she finally understood that her son was madly in love with me and me, him. She has come to an understanding."
"I see. Well, I must say that Ye Cheng did a great job fighting for what he want. I know her, he loves her with all his heart and so he would not easily refuse her anything she asked for."
"I see but this time around, he won by staying true to himself."
"Yes. You see, you have got one heck of a husband, my love. He really is living up to expectations. At least he knows there are many big fishes in the ocean and they would not hesitate to take you once they can."
"I know but he has my heart."
"Okay, okay, okay you two. Enough with all the big fishes. My Li Jing is married. Now my dear. I would have them prepare a sumptuous dinner. Do ensure you head here straight, okay?"
"Sure gramps. Do have a lovely journey. Bye, auntie."
"Bye, my love. Work well and stress less."
"Noted auntie, bye.
