22 Aunt Ning tells Jack everything

'The kiss' had made many people's thought process.. go bonkers. While Lina was too disturbed and worried for her brother, the thought of what had happened today at the restaurant did not fail to further increase her anxiety levels.

A lot was going inside Wang's head as well. The thoughts of the stupid situation that had made him do something- that he had never imagined, filled his mind.

Aunt Ning, who was the witness of the incident, had crazy assumptions of her own. After Barbara and Wang were gone, Ning headed straight to her home. She needed time.. to recollect, refocus on everything that had happened, and change her plan accordingly.. The plan that would help her succeed in her mission.. of getting Wang married within six months.

At Aunt Ning's mansion..

It was night time. Aung Ning wore a loose night suit and had applied the same yellowish cream on her face, that she applied daily, for its anti-ageing properties. Her husband, Jack, who wore the same dress that he had been wearing all day long, sat near the fireplace, holding a newspaper and a pen, and solved a crossword puzzle.

While Uncle Jack was too engrossed in solving his crossword puzzle, Ning walked hastily, to and fro in the lobby's central area, as she thought of everything that had happened today at the restaurant. Her curiosity was getting too much for her to handle. 'Who was the crimson haired girl? Why did Wang kiss her? Why would he do that to a girl who was just a mere waitress?.. and so many other thoughts went through her brain.

She walked towards Jack, who was busy in his puzzles. "Why did he kiss the waitress?" yelled Ning as she was now too irritated to see her husband sitting tension-free. "That too.. in the middle of the restaurant's parking place!!" Ning continued.

"I can hear you, Ning. I can hear you. No need to shout," replied Jack, paying little attention to Ning, as he sat focused on solving his crossword puzzle.

"I chose one of the finest women in Shanghai for Wang, and he preferred to kiss a waitress? How dare he? Does he even know how famous Barbara is?" yelled Ning. "I think he rejected the girl.. just to insult us. Yes! Wang did this.. to insult us. First, he never picks up my call. Then, he rejects the girl I chose for him. This is heights of insult!!" snapped Ning.

Jack paid little attention to Ning's words, as he continued to solve the puzzles in the newspaper.

"Jack, can you stop that? I think this matter.. is as important to you, as it is to me. Can you use stop wasting the little brain you have on these puzzles, and use it in discussing this important issue with me? rebuked Ning, as she continued her to-and-fro walk near the fireplace.

"He wanted to kiss her, so he did. What's the big deal?" replied Jack, still focused on the crossword puzzle.

"What's the big deal?" yelled Ning, surprised at the carefree nature of her husband. "All this time, we have been setting up so many dates for Wang.. with so many gorgeous, high-standard girls. And, we couldn't even get him to hold their hands in love... or even smile with love. And all of a sudden, he kisses a girl in the middle of a restaurant!! And the girl happens to be a waitress.. a mere waitress. And you ask me.. what's the big deal?" bellowed Ning as she watched her husband, who was now smiling after having successfully entered a crossword puzzle entry.

"Okay! Calm down! Maybe, Wang saw something in that girl.. that you failed to notice. You don't have to be so fussy about the fact that she's a waitress," resumed Jack, as he wrote another puzzle entry.

There was a two minute silence in the lobby. While Jack continued with his puzzle, Ning stood still. She smiled as a thought entered her head.

"Yes Jack! That's precisely what the point is! Wang saw something in that girl," smiled Ning as she stood in pride of her intelligence. "And we have to plan something accordingly. We have to use this in our plan now," declared Ning as she tapped the side of her head with her pointer finger.

"I don't understand. What are you trying to say?" asked Jack, who now paid more attention to what Ning had to say.

"Oh my innocent husband! What I am saying is.. that we have to plan something to get that waitress involved in our mission," exclaimed Ning as her excitement soon overcame her confusion.

"Mission?" asked Jack, as he removed his spectacles and looked at Ning.

"Mission.. to get Wang married," yelled Ning angrily at her husband.

"Oh yes! Right!" sighed Jack as he stood up and went to his bedroom.

Ning sat on the sofa, that Jack vacated a few seconds back. With a look of determination, she started to think of how her plan could be implemented in the best possible way.
