Chapter 153 - 153: 104: The big boss is panicked!-4
Ye Jun said, “I’m going to say hello to Grandma and Uncle,”
“Mhm.” Charlie Thompson nodded.
The two walked in the direction of the main hall.
Ye Jun greeted Mrs. Thompson first.
Mrs. Thompson only reminded Charlie to be careful when driving, and then said nothing else.
This made Ye Jun frown slightly.
Logically speaking, even if Mrs. Thompson didn’t invite her to stay for dinner, she should have said something like, “Come by more often in the future.”
But Mrs. Thompson didn’t say a word.
Could it be…
Mrs. Thompson didn’t like her?
But for a moment, Ye Jun couldn’t think of any reason why Mrs. Thompson wouldn’t like her.
Thinking about it.
She didn’t do anything inappropriate today.
Evan Thompson, on the other hand, exchanged a few polite words.
Between the lines, there was no sign of dissatisfaction or satisfaction.
After leaving the Thompson’s, Ye Jun looked at Charlie, “Does Grandma not like me?”
Charlie replied, “My grandma’s personality is different from that of ordinary elderly people; this is within my expectations.”
“What’s different?” Ye Jun asked.
Charlie started the engine, “My grandma’s last name is Hua, and she has a nickname – Hua Mulan.’
Hua Mulan?
Ye Jun squinted her eyes, “Is Grandma very powerful and domineering?”
“She has been on the battlefield and truly walked out of the pile of dead
people.” Said Charlie.
At these words, Ye Jun was slightly startled.
At first sight, she thought Mrs. Thompson was very kind and amiable, a very easygoing elderly woman.
She never imagined that the old woman had actually been on the battlefield.
Having said that, Charlie continued, “So all of us in this big family have a great deal of respect for her.”
Ye Jun said, “Grandma is indeed worthy of everyone’s respect!’
But she still couldn’t figure out what all this had to do with Mrs. Thompson not approving of her.
Ye Jun continued to ask, “Did I do something today to upset Grandma?”
“Why would you ask that?” Charlie asked.
“Otherwise, why wouldn’t Grandma like me?” Ye Jun said.
Charlie looked straight ahead, “Getting my grandma’s approval is a long and difficult journey. ”
Ye Jun leaned back in the passenger seat.
“When can I meet your parents?” Charlie suddenly asked.
Meet her parents?
Ye Jun was startled but still pretended to be calm, “Niy parents have been a bit busy lately, and I haven’t chatted with them for a long time. Didn’t you say you were in no hurry to meet them?”
“We’ll have to meet them eventually.” Charlie’s tone was unhurried.
Ye Jun was now a bit panicked.
After all, she had told the Thompson family that her parents were in research…
Ye Jun smiled and said, “Meeting my parents is not that simple; they have only one daughter like me. Aren’t you afraid they’ll give you a hard time?”
“Not afraid.’ Ye Jun continued, “Then I’ll contact their assistant tonight.”
“Mhm.”
Ye Jun was now very annoyed.
If she had known, she wouldn’t have lied.
Now look!
It’s impossible to go back.
With her parents looking so shabby, even a mink coat wouldn’t make them look like wealthy people. How would she explain it to Charlie?
It seems that she would have to think of a solution.
Monday.
Eleanor Armstrong invited Viola Thompson out.
They met at a milk tea shop.
Eleanor found out after asking around that Viola really likes milk tea, so she decided to meet her at the Milk Tea Shop.
It turned out that her choice was correct.
She clearly noticed that when Viola saw the milk tea that was served, her eyes lit up instantly.
Eleanor smiled and said, “Their signature taro milk tea is very good, it tastes completely different from the ones you drink outside. Have a taste.”
Viola took a sip of the milk tea.
First, it was the fragrance of the tea, then the richness of the fresh milk, with distinct layers of flavor. Lastly, it was the taste of the two combined, the taro balls were soft, sticky, and chewy. “This is the best taro milk tea I’ve ever had.’
Viola couldn’t help but exclaim.
She had just come out of school and was still wearing her school uniform.
Looking at Viola, for a moment, Eleanor felt as if she were seeing herself.
Many years ago, she was just like the girl in front of her, wearing a school uniform, full of youth and vitality, clearly without makeup, but still stunningly beautiful.
“Viola,” after going through the beauty pill incident, Eleanor felt a bit guilty and couldn’t even look directly at Viola. “Can I call you that?”
“You can.” Viola nodded slightly and put down her cup.
“Thank you.”
Eleanor continued, “Viola, actually, I had many misunderstandings about you before. Here, I want to apologize to you and say sorry for my ignorance..”
