Chapter My phone rang for too long and I wasn’t in the mood to talk to her as I already knew who it was. It was ma’am Helena.
“ My mother was a very rigid and stubborn woman who goes out of her way to achieve anything she wanted for herself .”
And sometimes she sees me as a weakling, but within me. I knew i wasn't a weakling. I was just a guy who loves simplicity and likes acting crazy sometimes. I was not that kind of regular guy who takes life seriously . But my mother was just a controlling freak, who likes detecting everything for me. Despite the fact that i am calm , strong, strict and zealous with what i do, and i hate being manipulated.
My phone kept on ringing and it would be inappropriate of me to decline her call. I sluggisshly picked my phone and answered her.
“ Hello....!!
Her voice was so audible that i nearly became deaf by the sound of her thunderous voice .
“ Helllo..... jing can you hear me ?
I had to relax my nerves and clear my throat as i gathered momentum to speak .
Yes mum i can hear you.
Very well then, i need you to come inside, we need to talk right now and it’s very important.
I will be with you shortly, mum.
Alright my lovely boy .
I hunged up the call and stood up as i walked through the balcony . To my amazement i saw different kind of high prolific men and women coming into our home. I kept wondering why the place was so populated and why the staffs were running up and down,engaging in one task or the other. Immediately i ran up following the staircase cause i needed my mum to give me the perfect explaination of what was happening . I got to my mum’s room and knocked on her door
Then i heard someone opening her door, behold it was my mother, she gave me a very heart felt hug, her perfume engulfed me completely that i could’nt withold myself but to complement her
“ mum you really look so beautiful tonight,i must confess.
My mum smiled at me. Her smiles made her glowing, looking younger than her age. Hey mum you are blushing, i caught you right there! her dimples became so obvious
Naugty boy, she touched my chin and asked me to sit.
I sat down, looking so perplexed as i watched her speak.
Son am so shock seeing you in these rags that you are wearing, i wonder what you are up to . You should know that today is a very big day.
If i may ask mum, what is really going on? Cause i saw some people coming into these place, looking so sophisticated . Yes son, those are your father’s business associate and also my friends.
So get ready for the formal introductions today, cause you’ll be meeting your new client and also your new girlfriend .
Girlfriend? Mum did you just say girlfriend!
what girlfriend are you talking about?
Yes you heard me properly, you will be meeting miss chen the daughter of mrs baozhai bowen and she’s one of the biggest investor in your father’s company.
What?
Mum how could you do such a thing to me? Making decisions for a grown up man like me without asking for my opinion. Who does that?
But am sorry to tell you this, i am not going to officiate in whatever you are organising tonight i have no interest or whatsoever you have at heart.
Jing , you must be insane , cause you can’t embarass me in front of my guest. I just hope you realize what you are doing son?
I should be asking you that question mum! Because you truly do not know what you are doing, you just want to ruin my life and destroy my future . I just hope you could see the man i have turned into with alot of facial hair, i am no longer that toddler you use to do everything for. I am a man and i deserve some accolades in whatsoever thing i do and it should’nt be the other way round.
Jing you must be out of your mind, you are just raving mad, i could feel the bitterness and pains judging from her tone. I knew she was hurt and i needed a way to calm her down.
I tried calming her down. When i heard three resounding slap on my face.
Ouch....!!!
The pain was so unbearable that made me to start imagining things and felt like, i was seeing my ancestors. So now that you slapt me what actually will be your reward. ? The room became silent for a minute , after a minute i cleared my throat and said to my mum.
“ Am sorry that i wont be part of today’s show but be rest assured that you are covered,am going to invite my friend to replace me”.
You will do no such thing jing!
Then watch me do it. You should just respect my wish for once. Dont worry wang lei, my friend is a very smart guy and he’s going to act very well , especially since no one knows me here at all. And the funniest part mother is, i am not on any social media platform so no one would be able to recognise me
Wait is that why you are dressed like someone insane? If you wish to know mum, yes i just want to find true love and not someone who loves me because of my wealth and that of my father’s wealth.
I deserve to be loved genuinly. And who says you cant be loved genuinly huh? Miss chen is a 24 years old girl who just bagged her (PHD) from university of Delhi. Can’t you see she has a bright future and her parent’s are very well wealthy.
Wow!! This is so fantastic i must applaud you very much for a work well done , but the truth is i am not interested.
