"What do you want to say? Why keep looking at me?" Seeing Joey staring straight at her, Lily feels strange and gives her a slap. “Here we are!"
Joey purses her lips, "Don't slap me!"
She is almost silly.
Lily wants to buy some clothes for her mother first. After entering the store, Joey, who usually feels tired when doing other things, takes the initiative to help mom choose clothes, and pays for it.
"Sister, I will pay for it. I have money!"
"..."
Then they go to the underground to buy food, and then go back home.
Lily’s mother Daisy still lives in the old community where she used to raise her children. It takes an hour to drive to the city center. Lily wants to change a house for her many times, but Daisy just doesn’t want it and says she loves here.
When they arrive at home, Daisy goes to the kitchen. Joey and Lily chat while watching TV. After a few minutes, Joey reveals her intention, "Sister, are you free this Saturday night?"
"Why are you so good! What do you want to do?" Lily throws the pillow on her, and smiles with her lips, "You finally reveal your intention. Why?"
Joey sits beside her and pleases, "There is a big reception in the Goose Villa on Saturday night, and many foreign famous guides will attend. Sister, please accompany me to there!"
Lily refuses, "No, I'm not interested in the party."
If it is to discuss cooperation that she has to go, otherwise, she does not like that occasion.
"Sister, my good sister." Joey is pleasing her.” There is a director whom I like very much. His movie is recruiting Chinese actresses. I want to talk to him. What if I can get it? But you know, my English is so poor, so I want you to be my temporary translator."
Lily shots her a glance and says hatefully, "Don’t you feel it’s a shame that when your sister is a translator, and your English is so poos? Even the kids in primary school children speaks better than you!"
"Oh, different strokes for different folks. Look, sister, you are suitable as an interpreter, and I like to be an actress." Joey is very smart and says, “Sister, if you want to be an actress, maybe you are not as good as me!"
Lily is speechless by what she says.
With Joey's begging, Lily agrees. After all, Joey is her sister. She finally has some achievements in the entertainment circle, how can Lily not help her?
"Sister, you're so nice!" Joey kisses Lily, and takes a selfie with her happily. Lily couldn't bear it and slaps her away.
When Daisy has prepared for a good meal and asks them to come to dinner, Lily gets up and happens to see the phone. She looks at the address "brother-in-law" and frowns.
"Joey, did you friend Jason?" Lily asks Joey, and picks up her cell phone. Joey has only a sister, her brother-in-law is no one but Jason.
Joey sees Lily holding her cell phone, she hurries over and snatch it. She rolls her eyes and says, "Why should I friend him? Anyway, you are divorced."
"I just saw a man named brother-in-law sending you message."
"That's my stylist!" Joey says calmly, “His name is called the brother-in-law, and I forget to change into his name. Okay, Lily, let's have dinner first."
Lily really believes her explanation.
The ID names of the young people are indeed weird. A colleague in her company is also called Dad.
Lily hasn't eaten the dish cooked by her mom for three months, so she has eaten an extra bowl. Joey is always a picky eater. Lily reminds her of the reception, staring at her to finish eating a bowl of rice.
A picky eater lacks of discipline!
Lily still has something to do, and she has to go back to the company in the afternoon. And there is an advertisement waiting for Joey. Daisy puts some fungus porridge in a thermos for them to bring back to work.
"Mom, don't be a nanny for others in the future." Before leaving, Lily says to Daisy, "Tell me if you don’t have money. I can provide for you."
Daisy nods, "I know. I will help the library in the future."
Lily breathes a sigh of relief, “It would be great if you do so. You can go and dance with your friends if you are bored. By the way, I’ve divorced Jason. Don’t go to his house anymore."
"Aren't you sweet? Why did you get divorced?" Daisy doesn’t respond to it for a while, "Then, what should you do after you get divorced? Who will be with you?"
Lily is speechless.
"Mom, you don't understand. It is a right decision Lily divorces Jason. It will be miserable to spend the life with that kind of man!" Joey interjects, “Sister is so good, and there are many men who love her. Are you afraid you don’t have a son-in-law in the future?"
"But I think Jason is quite good. Every time he comes, he will greet me and bring me something." Daisy is still nagging.
Joey rolls her eyes and drags Lily away.
Joey says, "Sister, don't tell mom about this. She doesn't understand anything! If she's a little self, she won't be so selfish when she divorced my dad and don't get the money."
