บท 74: Just you

After Simon left, Xie Ming nudge Li Quin and asked," Quin what was Simon trying to say? Is he planning to harm Li Singtan?"

Not knowing how to explain things to Xie Ming, Li Quin scratched his head and said," Sister-in-law you don't have to worry. All I can say is that if you want to help brother then take good care of yourself. He just cares about you. Just you."

Xie Ming was dumbfounded.

Seeing her in daze, Li Quin quickly decided to distract her. Looking at his watch, he said," We have to leave sister-in-law. It's getting late. Your husband is going to go crazy if you don't reach home on time."

Xie Ming nodded her head and followed Li Quin.

When they reached downstairs, Mother Li and grandma Li were waiting for them.

" There you are. What took you so long?" Mother Li asked.

" We bumped into a dog." Li Quin said.

Mother Li narrowed her eyes. Walking towards Xie Ming, she examined her properly," Are you okay dear?"

Xie Ming nodded her head," Yes mom I am fine."

" Okay since everything is fine let's go. We have to go home a prepare things." Grandma Li said.

As they were walking out of the shopping mall, Xie Ming asked Li Quin," Quin where is the gift that I bought for Li Singtan?"

Li Quin weakly smiles and said," Heheh sister-in-law-"

" You forgot it in the store itself didn't you?"

" Kind off."

Xie Ming rolled her eyes," I'll go get it."

Li Quin stopped her," Sister-in-law you stay here. I'll go."

" It's okay. I'll come back fast."

"But-"

" Let her go." Mother Li said.

Smiling at Xie Ming, Mother Li said," Come back fast. If you bump into someone that you shouldn't and if anyone causes unnecessary trouble, call for me. Okay?"

Xie Ming nodded her head and entered the mall once again.

....

After Xie Ming left.

Grandma Li turned towards Li Quin and asked," What did he say?"

Placing both his hands inside his pocket, Li Quin said," He was spouting nonsense."

Grandma Li smirked," As always. His father was also the same."

" How did Ming react?" Mother Li asked.

" Well she was asking me some questions but I just shrugged her questions off." Li Quin answered.

.....

Meanwhile inside the store.

When Xie Ming entered the store once again, the manger came running towards her," Ms Xie you are back."

Xie Ming nodded her head and said," Actually Quin forgot to take the tie which I had bought."

The manager lowered his head apologetically and said," I am sorry for the inconvenience. I'll get it for you right away."

Xie Ming nodded her head. After the manager left she was about to sit on the couch when she heard a familiar voice." Sister Ming."

When Xi Ming looked around to see who it was, she saw the most unexpected person, Xie Yurin.

Ignoring her, Xie Ming sat on the couch.

Xie Yurin quickly walked towards Xie Ming and said," How are you sister? How is father? I heard Yufan is back? How does he look now?"

Seeing Xie Yurin bombarding her with questions, Xie Ming asked," Why is Mrs Chen so intersted in my Family?"

" What are you saying sister? It is my family too." Xie Yurin said.

Just as Xie Ming was about to answer back, the manger walked in and handed a bag to Xie Ming," Here Ms Xie. I apologise once again. Please do come again."

Xie Ming smiled at him," I surely will."

The maganer smiled," Please help me apologise Mr Li too."

Xie Ming nodded her head and was ready to leave when Xie Yurin caught her hand," So the rumour is indeed true."

Xie Ming gave her confused look and thought ' What rumour is she talking about?'.

Pushing her hands off her hand, Xie Ming asked," What rumour?"

Xie Yurin let out a small laugh," Sister I don't think so it is convenient to talk about that in public. Why don't we go somwhere else?"

" I have something important to do today." Xie Ming said.

Xie Yurin took out her cell phone and said," Okay then let's meet tomorrow. I'll text you the time and place. Same number?"

Without giving her anything kind of reply, Xie Ming dashed out the store.
