Chapter 382 - 381: Guo Jia is Dumbfounded, Her Bestie is Getting Married?

Chapter 382: Chapter 381: Guo Jia is Dumbfounded, Her Bestie is Getting Married?

The two of them rested their heads on Jiang Liu, acting cute and spoiled.

Jiang Liu chuckled. "Of course I did. I start missing you the second you’re out of my sight."

"Hehe, Tongtong missed Daddy too! Give your little cutie a kiss!"

"Mwah!"

Jiang Liu checked the time. "Qingmeng, Tongtong and I are going to take a bath. What about you?"

"I... I’ll go back to my place and wash up..." Jun Qingmeng’s delicate ears, hidden beneath her hair, suddenly flushed red.

"You go ahead and take Tongtong to wash up. I’m going to head back and grab some food for my bestie on the way."

With a helpless look, Jun Qingmeng took out her constantly buzzing phone and showed it to Jiang Liu.

Guo Jia: "Where are you? Did your dad beat up Jiang Liu?"

Guo Jia: "(Angry cat emoji) Did you forget something?"

Guo Jia: "I can hear you talking to Jiang Liu!!!"

Guo Jia: "Hungry. Hungry. Starving to death!"

Jiang Liu couldn’t help but laugh. On Jun Qingmeng’s WeChat, Guo Jia’s contact icon showed 99+ unread messages.

"You should go."

"Mm..."

Jun Qingmeng got up reluctantly. ’I want to give Jiang Liu a kiss,’ she thought, but seeing her father-in-law was still nearby, she had to give up the idea.

「The moment she got home.」

Hearing the sound, someone immediately dashed out of the bedroom.

Guo Jia shrieked, "AARGH! Holy shit! You’re finally back, my lady! Any later and I would’ve been a goner!"

"What goodies did you bring?"

As she spoke, she started tugging at the bag in Jun Qingmeng’s hands.

She was like a beggar, so hungry her stomach was touching her spine.

"Steamed egg custard and some corn."

"Steamed egg custard? I’ve never had it before!"

Guo Jia excitedly opened the container and dug out a huge spoonful.

Fragrant, tender, and smooth!

It was like a savory pudding, smooth and delicate as it melted in her mouth.

It was so good.

After devouring several large mouthfuls, Guo Jia finally started to recover.

She looked at Jun Qingmeng, who was changing clothes, and asked, "So what’s the deal with you and Jiang Liu? Did your dad get mad at you?"

At the mention of this, Jun Qingmeng’s mood brightened. A smile played on her lips as she said, "My dad has already agreed. He’s... very satisfied with Jiang Liu!"

"And, we’ll be able to get married soon."

Guo Jia immediately reached out and touched Jun Qingmeng’s forehead.

"Are you okay? Did something traumatic happen? Why are you spouting such nonsense?"

She simply couldn’t believe that Jun Xinghe would be so agreeable.

Jun Qingmeng wasn’t offended. She just smiled faintly and said, "It’s the truth. I have no reason to lie to you."

"Really?"

"Yep!"

"Holy crap! I feel like I’m dreaming. I’d already planned out how to get my dad to plead your case to your dad! Quick, tell me, how did your husband win over your father? Did your dad give him the cold shoulder and make things difficult for him at first?"

Jun Qingmeng shook her head. "Make things difficult? You have no idea. My dad almost adopted my husband as his own son. He treated him better than he treats me!"

Guo Jia: "???"

She was dumbfounded.

Completely stunned.

"Details?" Guo Jia, acting like a doting maid, quickly handed Jun Qingmeng her nightgown.

Jun Qingmeng recounted the day’s events to Guo Jia in full detail.

Guo Jia’s expression went from utter confusion to shock, and finally, her gaze turned strange.

’Could something so ridiculous actually happen in this world?’

’Jun Qingmeng’s dad is a foodie fan of Jiang Liu?’

’And he even gave Jiang Liu a whole villa?’

’And Jiang Liu didn’t even want it?’

HOLY FUCK!!!

’Is this some kind of prince and princess fairy tale??’

"You guys... I’m suddenly a little jealous. Where’s your house?"

"It’s over in Xinxiang City, in a place called Siyuan Alley, I think. Number eighty-six. It’s not renovated yet, but I reckon it will be soon."

Guo Jia could no longer stay calm. She paced anxiously back and forth in front of the bathroom door like an ant on a hot pan.

She shouted, "Qingmeng, what am I going to do when you move? You’re not planning on leaving me behind, are you!?"

The SPLASHING sound of a shower came from inside.

It seemed Jun Qingmeng hadn’t heard.

’No way. I have to get some money and buy a house right away. It’d be best if I could be neighbors with Mengmeng!’

’She had been planning her grand ’Operation Mooch Meals’ for a long time; she couldn’t let it go down the drain now.’

Guo Jia sat on the sofa, pulled out her phone, and looked up real estate listings. Luckily, the house behind number 86 was for sale. The ones in front and to the left weren’t listed, so they probably weren’t on the market.

’No! I have to buy it! Buy it now!’

Although she hadn’t saved much money in recent years...

...she had a ridiculously rich dad!

Guo Jia sent a message to Guo Dapao: "Dad! Hurry up and give me some money, I need to buy a house! Quick! It’ll be gone if you’re too slow!"

Guo Dapao: "What’s wrong with you now? You ignore me for two years, and the first time you contact me, you want me to buy you a house?"

Guo Jia, anxiously: "There’s no time, Dad! I need to live next to Qingmeng! I need to buy a house! She and Jiang Liu are moving away soon, and your daughter can’t be left with nothing to eat!!"

Guo Dapao: "You want to move next door to Jiang Liu? Where’s the house he bought?"

Guo Jia: "(Address)"

Guo Dapao: "I see. Ahem, I can consider buying it for you, but in the future, will you share any good food you get with me?"

Guo Jia: "Anything I don’t feel like eating is all yours!"

Guo Dapao: "? You want me to eat your leftovers?"

Guo Jia: "You don’t want them?"

Guo Dapao: "What if I wanted to move in there too?"

Guo Jia: "As long as you don’t bother me. You live in your part, I’ll live in mine. If that doesn’t work, you can build yourself a little den in the yard."

Guo Dapao: "Fine! It’s a deal then. Don’t you dare try to stop me from moving in when the time comes, you hear?"

The father and daughter pair had a peculiar way of thinking. Years of resentment were instantly swept away, and hatchets were buried in the face of delicious food.

Guo Dapao lay in bed, growing faintly excited whenever he thought about becoming neighbors with Boss Jiang in the future, with his daughter as the go-between.

’It was going to be absolutely awesome!’

’Now he could also learn from Jun Xinghe and show off in the Jing Circle!’

Guo Dapao rolled over and eagerly posted on his social media feed.

"Farewell, everyone. I might be moving out of Jing City. Sigh, to be honest, I’ll miss you all. Here’s what happened: just now, my daughter sent word that she bought the house next door to her best friend, Jun Qingmeng. So I’ll probably have to move and live near Boss Jiang now. I’ll miss everyone, though. So long for now."

Jun Xinghe had become addicted to browsing his social media feed. He saw his friend Guo Dapao’s post right away and casually gave it a ’like’.

Neither of them said anything to the other, both hiding under their covers and snickering with a tacit understanding.

Yang Zhengwu was also in bed, scrolling through his feed. When he saw Guo Dapao’s post, his blood pressure shot up again.

He completely shut down.

"Fuck! That traitor!"

"A pair of bastards, colluding like wolves!"

Yang Zhengwu quickly opened Guo Dapao’s post and un-liked the ’like’ he had given him before.

Friendship over!

Right after, Zhao Chuan posted a picture.

The picture showed two yellow dogs walking side-by-side.

This post instantly earned hundreds of ’likes’ and comments from the Jing Circle.

"I see it clearly now. Neither of them is any good. Don’t ask who this is; you know damn well who."

"This picture is so fitting. I almost thought it was a photo of the two of them together, haha."

"It’s so annoying. I’m so, so annoyed. Can they stop showing off all day long? I’m afraid to even open my feed now, scared I’ll see a certain someone humblebragging again. It makes me want to puke!"
