“Xinxin, don’t eat so fast! It’s bad for your stomach,” The middle-aged woman said to her daughter, whose diet habit seemed to have changed.
“Eh? Oh!” Lin Wenwen was chewing a piece of pork rib. Hearing the woman’s words, she forced herself to eat with better table manners.
“Xinxin, I heard that you didn’t go out these days. They said that you’ve been staying at home, working out all the time. Have you made up your mind this time?” Dong Xinxin’s father was a big-bellied chubby man with the polite presence that most businessmen had. He looked at Lin Wenwen and talked to her amiably.
Lin Wenwen nodded and said, “Yeah, Un-Um… Daddy, you should do some exercise too when you have time.”
She almost called Dong Xinxin’s father ‘uncle’.
“Why did you suddenly decide to start working out? Did someone say anything to you?” Mr. Dong didn’t take Lin Wenwen’s words seriously. He just wanted to know why her daughter behaved weirdly.
“No,” Lin Wenwen shook her head. She thought for a moment, then added, “I’m preparing for what’s going to happen in three months!”
“In three months? The third year of high school? You don’t need to work so hard for that, do you?” Mrs. Dong thought Lin Wenwen was talking about the school.
Lin Wenwen glanced at Dong Lijia, who was eating quietly, then shook her head and said, “No.”
She would have no school to go to in three months.
“No? What is it then? Is there something else?” Mrs. Dong looked at her confusedly.
“It’s… um… eh… Just let Dong Lijia tell you about it when he’s ready! Alright, I’m done!” Lin Wenwen knew that Dong Lijia hadn’t talked to his parents about the apocalypse, so she decided to give him a push. Having finished talking, she put her empty bowl on the table and then ran away.
“Xinxin, you have only had one bowl of rice! Was that enough already?” Dong Xinxin’s mother wasn’t expecting her daughter to run away so quickly. She looked at the girl’s back as she said to her.
Dong Lijia, who was focusing on the food, had his heart miss a beat when he heard what Lin Wenwen said. He was not yet ready to tell his parents the truth! He was panicking now!
“What does Xinxin want you to tell us?” Mr. Dong asked Dong Lijia.
“Ah… Eh? Oh, that… I don’t know how to explain it to you guys yet. Give me some time to think. I’ll talk to you when I have a clue!” In the past few days, Dong Lijia had already sold the small company that he was running. He had also starting to sell the stocks that he bought when he was in college.
He hadn’t decided how to tell his father about the apocalypse yet. After all, no one would possibly believe something like that!
“What’s so secretive?” Mrs. Dong gave him a glance with confusion, then continued eating.
“So, tell me when you’re ready.” Mr. Dong was always nice to his children, and he was never too strict with them. As Dong Lijia said that he didn’t know how to tell him about it yet, he responded to his son like that.
After dinner, when Lin Wenwen was strolling in the backyard to accelerate her digestion, her phone rang. She took out her phone and looked at the number on the screen, then rolled her eyes and rejected the call as she kept walking.
However, the phone soon rang again; it was still Qin Jiao.
“Hi, can I help you?” Lin Wenwen answered the call impatiently.
Feeing the impatience in Dong Xinxin’s tone, Qin Jiao glanced at Lin Yuehui, who was standing by her side, then said to the phone with laughter, “Xinxin, would you and your brother like to come out today? I heard that he and Chenfei are going to Luo Family to celebrate Young Master Luo’s birthday. You’ll be there too, won’t you?”
Young Master Luo? Who was that?
Lin Wenwen asked that question to Dong Xinxin in her mind while responding to Qin Jiao with, “What does that have to do with me? I don’t want to go.”
“Young Master Luo is a good friend my brother. He’s really annoying though. Kick his a.s.s for me if you have the chance!” Dong Xinxin answered her question.
Speaking of Young Master Luo, Dong Xinxin had a trace of anger in her voice that rarely occurred. She didn’t really seem mad though.
Lin Wenwen blinked, then gave a smile. There seemed to be a story between her and that guy.
Through the past few days, Lin Wenwen found that Deng Chenfei, who visited Dong Lijia very often, would actually land his eyes on Dong Xinxin quite frequently. Lin Wenwen pretended not to notice that, but that didn’t mean she knew nothing about that.
Dong Xinxin always sounded cold and emotionless when she talked about Deng Chenfei. Clearly, he had no chance.
“What? Why? Isn’t Young Master Luo your brother’s good friend? He has invited you too, hasn’t he? Won’t it be a little impolite if you don’t attend to his party?” Qin Jiao didn’t give up.
She was planning to make Dong Xinxin become a joke at that birthday party. It would fun, and those rich boys would be disgusted. When people started to see Dong Xinxin as a pathetic joke, she would stand up to help the poor girl, so she could win goodwill from both Dong Xinxin and her brother.
If Dong Xinxin refused to attend the party, her plan would be ruined. With that thought, Qin Jiao grew a little anxious and quickly winked at Lin Yuehui. The latter found a notebook and a pen in response and wrote down a name—Wu Minghao.
Qin Jiao’s eyes shone when she saw that name. “But, if you don’t come, you won’t be able to see Wu Minghao. Didn’t you say that you like him?”
Lin Wenwen felt a little speechless on hearing another strange name. “That was before,” she said.
‘Did you like this Wu Minghao? They have prepared so many baits for you! I guess they won’t give up trying tonight until they successfully make fun of you,’ said Lin Wenwen to Dong Xinxin.
‘As you just said, that was before. I don’t care who he is now,’ said Dong Xinxin coldly.
‘Oh,‘ Lin Wenwen responded to Dong Xinxin in her mind. Then, before Qin Jiao could finish, she interrupted her and said, “Okay, let me think about it. I might go if I have a good mood. Don’t call me again for this, okay? Bye.”
After saying that, she quickly ended the call and turned off her phone.
On the other side of the phone, Qin Jiao said to Lin Yuehui with surprise, “She said she’ll think about it, and that she’ll come if she has a good mood. Does she not like Wu Minghao anymore?”
Hearing that, Lin Yuehui wore a confused look too. “I don’t think so. She blushed every time she saw Wu Minghao,” said Lin Yuehui uncertainly, “She couldn’t help looking at him secretly even though she was blushed scarlet! How come she suddenly stopped liking him? Did Wu Minghao do something to her?”
“What should we do now?” Qin Jiao looked at her and said, “If she decides not to come, the arrangements we made before will all be wasted.”
Lin Yuehui thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, “I think she’ll come. Let’s wait until tonight and see.”
