After listening to Jia Fei's words, Yao Zixin was speechless. She wasn't expecting her to talk back to her like this.
They own the entertainment company and can make and ruin the lives of so-called artists like her. How can she compare herself to them?
What enraged her more was her son's behavior. How can he stay calm and silent after that girl called her cheap and disgusting? How can she say that they belong to the same disgusting entertainment industry as her?
What magic did she do on him to become like this?
" Yuhan, did you see that? This girl is humiliating your mother by calling me cheap and disgusting. Are you going to let her treat me like this?"
"Aren't you going to say anything to her? Huh?"
Yuhan looked at his mother with a disappointed look and let out a heavy sigh before saying, " Did she say anything wrong? You're the one who called the entertainment industry cheap and disgusting forgetting that we run the entertainment company ourselves."
" But we run the company, whereas she is just a cheap idol who don't-
" MOM!! It's enough now. You have embarrassed me enough already."
" Do you want to know why I left the house to live independently? Your attitude is the reason. Your obsession to control my life is the reason why I don't want to stay in this house anymore." He burst out.
He came for a friendly dinner but his mother had different plans. She deliberately called Jia Fei without knowing him to humiliate her. Even if she thinks she is his girlfriend, how can she say something like that to her?
However, by doing this, she was not humiliating Jia Fei but embarrassing him in front of her. How will he face Jia Fei from now on after what his mother said to her?
Yao Zixin was shocked by her son's sudden confession. Did he move out to run away from her? Is..she that bad? She was just trying to do good for him.
" Yuhan, how can you...say this to your mom? I always wished good for you. I am only doing this for you."
" You deserve a better girl and not a cheap girl like her. I am your mother, of course, I can choose what's good for you. You cannot see anything because this girl has brainwashed you." She said in her defense.
" Mom, I am not a kid anymore. I am old enough to choose my partner and can see what's good for me and whatnot. I hope you can understand that."
" Also, do not play this kind of stunt ever again. Jia Fei is the girl I love and I hope you can respect my choice."
" Thank you for the dinner. Also, I do not wish to have a similar drama next time when we see each other." He said coldly and turned to Jia Fei, " Are you coming with me?"
"Ah?" Jia Fei was perplexed by his sudden question. She was still in a daze after hearing the statement that he made in front of his mother.
' She is the girl that he loves? What kind of sorcery is this? Weren't they just friends?'
Then why didn't he clear up his mother's misunderstanding and instead accept her claim? Wouldn't this complicate things even more?
Yuhan sighed seeing Jia Fei's confused look and grabbed her wrist and pulled her to follow him out of the Mansion.
Jia Fei was startled at his bold action and followed him out of the Mansion in a daze. What just happened?
However, while leaving the Mansion with him, she could feel Yao Zixin's death glare on her back and she could even hear her grumbling in anger.
Once they're out of the Mansion, she glanced at him and could see him burning in anger. His jaw was clenched tightly and for some strange reason, he looked quite handsome for someone, who is angry.
She then glanced at her hands that he was still holding tightly. 'Hmm...his hands are quite larger than mine.' she suddenly thought of.
…..
She could sense his urge to leave this place as soon as possible. They got in her car since she also brought one and he couldn't risk it to leave here just like that.
Who knows what his mother would do to her car if they got in his car and left her behind?
He wanted to drive her car but he didn't give him the keys, " You know I value my life. I will not let a person drive me home who is not in his senses at the moment." She said before getting on the driver's seat.
Yuhan didn't protest and agreed to her arrangements. He is indeed not in the right mindset at the moment.
….
While driving, Jia Fei glanced at him and saw him clenching his jaw again and was looking as if he would smash the car mirror at any moment.
She cleared her throat and said, "Have you ever tried modeling? How can you look so handsome even when you're angry?" She said jokingly to reduce the tension between them.
He frowned at her cheesy comment and glanced at her coldly. Seeing her still beaming in a smile, he sighed heavily.
" I am sorry about what just happened. I didn't know my mother invited you for dinner and more than that, I apologize for whatever just happened."
" My mom, she shouldn't have insulted you like this. I am sorry." He said seriously.
Jia Fei was surprised at his sudden apology and smiled before looking in the front. " Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong."
" Moreover, I wasn't quite polite to your mother either. She said what she wanted to say, and I responded to her comments the same way. We're equal."
He smiled and shook his head, " No. What you said was right. If she dares to say something like that to someone, she should be ready to get a similar response as well. In comparison to what she said to you, you were already being polite to her."
" Moreover, she needs to understand that not everything can go according to her will. And about...what I said a while ago...about us..." He hesitated.
" I know. You were just trying to shut her off. Well, I think it's for the better. This way she won't bother you anymore with blind dates. You can chill, I don't mind such things as long as it doesn't create any trouble." she said coolly.
" I never knew you can be so cool when handling such matters." He commented.
" Well, I am not every girl's dream for no reason. Didn't you see your blind date last time going crazy over me? That's my charm." she laughed.
Jia Fei glanced at him and added, " By the way, weren't you apologizing a while ago? Shouldn't you be a bit more sincere when apologizing to me? How can you apologize to me without feeding me anything? I am starving, you see!"
He looked at her in amusement and finally laughed, " How can you still think of eating? Are you that hungry?"
" Of course I am. It's past 9 already and I only had a club sandwich and a few cups of coffee the whole day."
" You didn't even have lunch today? Why?"
" Well, it was boring to eat alone without Luo Dan. I was thinking about having food delivered when your mom called. But who would have thought that dinner invitation would turn out-
She stopped talking when she unconsciously started talking about the same matter and coughed, " So...for dinner, it's your treat, right?"
" Yeah, sure. You can order whatever you want." He said.
" Oh, Yeah. I am gonna stop the car in front of an expensive hotel and will order the most expensive dishes. You're paying after all." She laughed and did just as she said.
If someone else is paying, she will do her best to respect the other person and will eat the food to her heart's content.
