102 It’s the Glove’s Faul (2/2)
Jonah smiled nervously. He was most definitely not enjoying Han Jie's disapproving stare. When he averted his gaze, he was happy to know that the others weren't looking disapproving. He was curious.
He should just shut up as it was never a good idea to have anything to do with her little boss when she was not happy with you.
”He said that you own the glove that he gave me. He also helped me when I don't have a ride” Han Mei said, a piece of the puzzle solved.
”What glove?” Han Jun said picking up only a part of his cousin's statement. He knew he was going to question her after this part of the puzzle was complete.
”He gave me a glove. He said I forgot from the last time I came here,” Han Mei said, explaining herself. ”I mean, you are the one who forgot it.” She said while looking at Han Jie.
”So it's the glove's fault? But the first time I went to the office was a couple of days ago,” Han Jie began looking confused,”And I've been going back almost every day since. Why didn't he give me then? Probably he did not see me that time?” She doesn't have a bad impression of the guy. In fact, she was feeling bad that he got involved with their family matters.
Han Mei shrugged, ”He seems to want to talk to you alone. Well, he does not seem so bad,” She said while looking at Han Jie knowingly. She could not just blurt out that the guy wanted to court Han Jie.
”You never went alone did you” Bai Min asked, finally contributing to the conversation at hand. Han Jun looked almost proud of the question. Bai Min shifted uncomfortably from one foot to another, his heart rate increasing.
”No, I always had Jonah,” Han Jie said, squinting like she could see her memories right in front of her.
”Which means he had the guts to talk to you because you were alone? What did he want from you,?” Han Jun said, leaning forward, his elbows on his knees. He looked so displeased.
”As I said, he did not seem like a bad guy. JieJie can talk to him once Suzuki Kyou let him go,” Han Mei said ignoring her cousin's second question.
”How do we help him then?” Han Mei became worried and feeling guilty. The guy was only helping out. Why does he need to be treated as if he was a criminal?
”Answer all the questions Han Mei” Han Feng said, staring intently at the mini bar in the living room. He was interested to hear about any man who seems to be stepping the boundaries to talk to his daughter.
Bai Min noted the longing in Han Feng's eyes and got him a shot of whiskey.
Han Feng smiled brilliantly at Bai Min before downing the shot in one gulp and handing the glass back to Bai Min.
Han Mei had flinched away from her father's command, almost folding into herself. She felt her sister squeeze her palm comfortingly. Han Mei drew her strength from the gesture and spoke.
”Er… There are a lot of questions though…” She whispered, before speaking louder, ”I, as I said, he seems to think that I am JieJie. So technically he wanted to speak with her, not me. Also, I already talked to Suzuki Kyou about him and assured that there was nothing going on between us.” She explained as she remembered how the man responded when Xia Wei was mentioned…
