They came back the next morning. Sonny gave her two days off from work. Jean didn't want to get off work else she would have to face Zed's parents at home.
But thinking of the fact that she had been away for a few days, it might not be a good idea to get back to work immediately after coming back.
So she eventually planned to have rest at home for two days. When she arrived at Zed's house, Luke helped her with her luggage.
Jade just walked out of the kitchen when she saw that Jean was back. She put on a big smile on her face immediately, "Jean, you are back. I just cooked some soup. Hurry up and take a seat. I'll get you a bowl of soup."
"It's ok, mom. I'll get it myself." Jean went into the kitchen and fetched herself a bowl of soup.
Zelda had just prepared the dinner so Jean helped her to serve the dishes onto the table. At the same time, Jade sent Luke to ask Sean to come downstairs and have some dinner.
It was the first time that there were only the three of them at the dinner table since Zed wasn't around.
Jean greeted Sean and then drank her soup cautiously. She was a little nervous when she was with Sean as he always looked so serious.
"Jean, how does this soup taste?" Jade asked with an expectation of receiving some compliments.
"Oh, it tastes great. Mom, you cooked it very well." She nodded her head. She didn't lie about it all. Jade cooked it well. Although Jean was not a picky eater, she would always eat more when the food tasted good.
She suddenly remembered Zed and then asked, "Mom, did Zed come back home last night?"
"Last night?" Jade shook her head, "No, he didn't. He must be busy with the work at the company. He just won't take rest if he is busy with work. Those days he usually works late." A hint of concern appeared on Jade's face.
Jean dazed for a second. He didn't come back home? He left yesterday morning so he must have reached yesterday afternoon. How come he didn't come back home last night? Did something happen at the company that he had to stay up all night for work?
She suddenly wanted to give Zed a call. But having no idea of what to say, she hesitated for a while and then gave up on the idea in the end.
'Zed should be back this evening.'
Thinking of that, Jean was relaxed.
Jade seemed to have remembered something. She went up to Zelda who was in the kitchen at the moment, and said, "Zelda, cook some chicken soup for Zed later and then ask Luke to take it to him."
"Alright, Mrs. Qi."
Jean always felt a sort of overwhelming stress from Sean's seriousness whenever she saw him.
He kept quiet during the dinner, which made her pretty nervous.
After the end of the dinner, Jade suddenly remembered something and said gladly, "Jean, I want to go shopping today. Do you have any time in the afternoon?"
"Yes, I do have time." Jean nodded.
An hour after the dinner, she left home along with Jade. They went to the downtown. It was very crowded at the shopping mall. How come there were so many people here today even though it was not weekend yet?
She accompanied Jade to shopping. When she looked around, she found that a lot of stores were on sale. This was perhaps the reason why the place was so crowded even during the weekday.
"Jean, you don't seem very fond of shopping. I only see you wearing the same set of clothes almost everyday. As a daughter-in-law of the Qis, it is inevitable for you to be a little more particular about your appearance. Buy some clothes today, " Jade said mildly with a smile.
"Sure. Mom, you are right." Jean echoed with a smile on her lips, but her heart was dripping blood. She didn't have so much money with her and she had already returned Ethan his credit card. She didn't even know whether the money she brought with her was enough to buy her some clothes or not.
Had she known that she had to shop today, she would have brought Zed's credit card. Now she had nothing to do except worrying about the money.
Jade took her to an exclusive luxury shop selling clothes called Chanel!
She was familiar with this brand. Although she was born in the Wens, she always bought her clothes with the money she made through part time jobs. But Shirley grew up wearing those famous brands.
Chanel was her favourite.
The attendants of the exclusive shops always judged people by their appearances. When the attendant of Chanel saw Jean wearing some ordinary clothes, she intended to put on her cold face for her. But then, she immediately saw the middle-aged woman by her side who was wearing famous foreign brands.
The brands she was wearing were not Chanel but they were definitely in the top ten brands of the world. She then concluded that the woman in ordinary clothes must be rich as well.
All of a sudden, the attendant became friendly to them.
