66 Painful remainder of past

Ring...Ring...Ring...

The ringing phone interrupted their conversation. Speak of the devil, and there he was.

"Who is calling?" Ming Jia looked at her husband. Still, sitting on the floor, designer bags in her lap.

"Wen Juan ." Alex sighed.

His wife's relatives were very crazy just like her.

"Really? give me the phone." Ming Jia exclaimed and grabbed the phone and went back to her room much to Alex's delight.

"Hello. Sister Juan. How are you?" Ming Juan said excitedly.

"I'm good, Sister Jia. When are you arriving for the wedding?" The woman on the other side of the phone asked. She was Ming Yu's mother and Ming Jia's eldest sister-in-law.

"Oh! We are leaving soon. I don't even have time for Spa. I don't have anything to wear too. Why she is marrying too soon? Last, I heard she was against the idea of marriage. But now?"

"Don't worry, I have bought lots of cheongsams for you. And as for Zhenyi, you know her temper is quite unpredictable," Wen Juan said.

"Oh! Xiao Yu told me Aria is here. I am very heartbroken, she went to Xin mansion instead of coming to her maternal grandparents' home," Wen Juan complained.

"Don't mention that darn girl. I had disowned her. Hmmp!" Ming Jia was still angry with her daughter and her anger was justified.

"Really? Ah, then I can have her ?" Wen Juan said half-jokingly.

"Sister Juan are you taking her side already."

"I love that girl to the bones. What can I do? God gave me two sons but no daughter. And now you don't want your daughter. Isn't it an opportunity for me?"

"Do whatever deem fit. I don't care. She is not my daughter anymore." Ming Jia grumbled.

"So, you are staying at Ming Mansion during your stay in Beijing." Sensing that Ming Jia was mad at Aria, she decided to change the course of the conversation.

"No." Both husband and wife said simultaneously.

"Father hates my husband. I won't live where people don't respect my husband. And if you have forgotten, let me remind you my parents have disowned me a long time ago."

Alex Qin and Ming Jia were childhood sweethearts but the Ming family had already arranged a suitable groom for Ming Jia. And in the end, Alex and Ming Jia eloped from their homes and never returned except for some occasional visits.

" Sister Jia, you won't come to Ming mansion ever?" Wen Juan asked. Even though Elder patriarch renounced his ties with his daughter, she was still the apple of her brother's eyes.

"No., Sister Juan, that place reminds me of painful memories. They remind me of how much of a failure I'm. I could have saved her but I failed. I will ever enter the vicinity of Ming Mansion ever. Please don't ask me to come there." The earlier Ming Jia was nowhere in sight. Tears were brimming in her eyes but she managed to stop them. Alex sighed when he saw his wife. He was aware that she blamed herself for the inevitable incident.

"Sister--"

"No. Sister Juan, if not for my Zhenyi I wouldn't come back to China but my Zhenyi needs her godmother on her wedding day. And I don't think my sister would forgive me if I miss her daughter's special day. Heck, she will come to haunt my dreams. Not that, I don't want her to."

"That's so like her." Wen Juan chuckled. That particular person was one of the pettiest person she had ever known.

"Sister Jia, father misses you." Wen Juan added.

"Then ask him to visit me. If he doesn't have money, I can send a plane. "

Wen Juan: "___"

Alex Qin: 'That's like my Juju.'

"Your beloved daughter is staying with her favorite person in the world. Ming Yu coaxed her to come and stay with him and she was ready too. But I don't know how Brother Yichen came to know his beloved is in town, he personally came to take her with him. I still can't compare with brother Yichen's charm." Wen Juan literally loved Aria but when Xin Yichen was in Aria's sight, everyone around her became secondary.

"And why do you think my sister marked him before anyone?" Ming Jia responded. Literally, her sister was the most possessive woman she had ever seen. Her Ah-Chen was her life, proud and the biggest fortune.

"Of course, the proud peacock she was, after marrying him. Did she ever miss the chance to show off his amazing husband? "

"Haha, she didn't." Ming Jia smiled painfully recalling the particular incident.

"Sigh! I miss her too much. I don't know how I will enter the threshold of Beijing?" Without her, the country was just the remnant of what she had lost.

"You are coming for Zhenyi." Wen Juan assured her.

"Hmm... take care sister. I'll be there soon." Ming Jia disconnected the call and the tears finally streamed down her cheeks.
