Chapter Forty-Three: White Lies
Hearing her mother's praise, although Jiajia's heart was beautiful, she was by no means fluttering, she didn't boast, but asked
"Did you just go to see Junxiang's mother?"
"Yes! By the way, this meeting was made by Junxiang's mother to meet me, you sit down, I'll show you a photo" Mei Xin said as she motioned for Jiajia to sit next to her
"What photo?" Jiajia asked suspiciously, and at the same time, sat beside her mother slowly
"Look, what's going on?" Mei Xin took out the photo from her bag and handed it to Jiajia
"Where did you get this photo?" Jiajia asked in surprise when she saw the backs of herself and Gao Fei in the photo
"Junxiang's mother showed it to me, and she said it was sent to her house by mail," Mei Xin replied truthfully
"Oh, I see! But who sent it? What is the purpose? Jiajia, who continued to look at the photo, was very puzzled, as if talking to herself and looking for answers from her mother
"I heard Jun Xiang's mother say that it was Jun Xiang's boss's daughter who sent the photo, and she didn't know what her name was, as if she had eaten a meal" Mei Xin truthfully told Jiajia what she knew
"Oh, I remember, that day I was walking with Gao Fei on the beach, and I happened to meet the daughter of Jun Xiang's boss, named Ye Pei" Jiajia suddenly realized
"But don't you know that she took pictures of you?" Mei Xin asked with a puzzled expression
"I don't know, didn't you see the photo of the back?" Jiajia seemed to be displeased, and her face was suddenly expressionless
"Oh, by the way, Junxiang's mother seemed unhappy when she saw this photo that day, of course, it is normal for her to be unhappy, and it is the same for me. So, I told her, the man in the photo is your college classmate, he came here on a business trip, and he had a meal at our house" Although Mei Xin was unhappy when she saw Jiajia, she still said to Jiajia truthfully according to her own thoughts
"Why tell a lie?" Jiajia didn't understand what her mother said
"If you don't say that, do you want to say that you are a netizen who is in love with you?" Mei Xin asked rhetorically
"Can't you?" Jiajia asked again
"Of course not! Since you are talking about love with Jun Xiang, if you say so, it is equivalent to admitting that you are "stepping on two boats", Mei Xin said in a tough tone
"Oh, how can a netizen who knows each other be so complicated in the eyes of your older generation," Jiajia said disapprovingly
"If Jun Xiang and his mother ask about it, you must be a college classmate and come on a business trip, as I say, remember not to goof," Mei Xin emphasized again.
"Really, I didn't have anything to do with Goofy, but I was lied to by you like this, as if something was really wrong," Jiajia said dissatisfied
"That's a mistake! Actually, a white lie has a magical power, first of all, it is beautiful. This kind of lie is not deception or ill-intentioned, and when we tell small lies in moderation for the sake of the hopes of others, the lie becomes understanding, respect, and tolerance, and has magical powers, without any impurity.
Secondly, a white lie is a lie with good intentions, a nourishment for life, and a source of motivation for faith. It makes people ignite the flame of hope in their hearts, and also makes people believe that there is love, trust, and touching in the world.
Again, white lies can also make people find more reasons to laugh at life. It embodies the delicacy of emotions and the maturity of thoughts, prompts people to be strong and persistent, involuntarily strive to strive for it, and finally overcome fragility and survive.
Although lying also has certain disadvantages, it is better to talk than nothing. For example, a lie from a parent makes a child's face like a flower and shines brightly; A lie from the teacher makes the hesitant students no longer confused and grow better; A lie from a doctor makes the frightened patient go from destruction to new life...... In short, the effect of white lies is really immeasurable" Hearing Jiajia's dissatisfaction, Mei Xin couldn't help but talk eloquently.
"Alright! All right! He really deserves to be a university teacher, and he is talking at length when he opens his mouth. I'm really convinced! All right! Since you have said this to Junxiang's mother, it seems that I have no choice but to do it," Jiajia said helplessly, and at the same time picked up the noodles on the table and ate them by herself.
Seeing that Jiajia was not interested in talking about this matter anymore, Mei Xin also stood up and prepared to leave, but just as she turned around, Mei Xin smiled mysteriously at Jiajia again, and whispered:
"To be honest, your vision is good, and Gao Fei in the photo is also a talent! Coupled with your praise for him, it seems that he is also a gentle and elegant gentleman! If only I had two daughters! "What greed!" Jiajia glanced at her mother, said with a smile, and then continued to eat her noodles
After Li Juan returned home, she saw Junxiang put the cooked four dishes and one soup home-cooked meal on the table, Li Juan walked quickly to the table, looking at the sweet and sour pork ribs, cold cucumber, hot and sour squid slices, cold fungus, tomato and egg soup, I couldn't help but be overjoyed and praised happily:
"My horse is just good! The food is made in such a short period of time, and it is really appetizing! “
Jun Xiang has long been accustomed to his mother's praise, and there is no longer such an excited mood and smiling expression as when he received his mother's praise after practicing cooking for the first time, I saw him say lightly and casually
"Mom is hungry too! We'll eat when Dad gets off work."
"Okay, come, Junxiang, you sit down, Mom will tell you something"
"What's the matter? I'm busy with work today, and I haven't had time to go to make an appointment with Jiajia, so I can't answer your question" Jun Xiang answered his mother without asking, thinking that his mother was going to ask about the man in the photo.
"It's really a mother-son connection! Mom just wants to talk about it, but you don't have to answer anything," Li Juan said with a grin
"Oh?" Jun Xiang didn't speak, only a soft oh to represent a question
"That's right, I got together with Jiajia's mother in the morning and showed her the photos," Li Juan truthfully explained the situation to her son
"Why don't you show the picture to your aunt without telling me? This matter should be solved by me and Jiajia" Jun Xiang heard his mother say this, his heart was displeased, and he couldn't help but blame his mother
"Look at you, your kindness is not reciprocated, I'm not worried that you won't be able to speak? I'm even more worried that Jiajia will misunderstand you and be narrow-minded, so I went to find Jiajia's mother" Li Juan saw her son blaming herself, and she couldn't help but feel unhappy, and hurriedly said her reasons
"Oh, well, how's it going? Auntie is not angry when she looks at the photo," Jun Xiang asked with concern
"What did her daughter do, what kind of anger did she have? It's us who should be angry," Li Juan said unforgivingly, and before Jun Xiang could speak, he continued:
"Fortunately, it was a false alarm! The man in the photo is a classmate of Jiajia University, who came to the city on a business trip, contacted Jiajia, and had dinner at Jiajia's house" Li Juan knew everything about Junxiang, and said everything she knew in one breath.
"Oh, I see! Now that you've figured it out, it's inconvenient for me to ask any more," Jun Xiang said to his mother with relief, as if a boulder had fallen to the ground in his heart, and his serious face showed a relieved smile.
"Hmmm! Her mother has expressed her position, there should be nothing to do, who doesn't have male and female classmates, if you ask again, it will seem that we have a small belly and chicken intestines" Li Juan agreed with her son's opinion, and casually expressed her attitude towards this matter.
"Wow! What a delicious meal! Just waiting for me? With a sigh of admiration, Jun Xiang's father pushed the door and walked in.
