She's Not My Housekeeper

And just immediately the front door opened and a voice asked.

"What's going on here? "

Hearing the question everyone looked at the direction the voice was coming from, Qingxia didn't have to look because she already knew that voice, she knew it was Tang xiao and she didn't want him to see the mist in her eyes.

Xie Ming immediately took cover behind the elderly lady.

The elderly woman was the one who spoke first.

"You got here quicker than anticipated? " She said.

"And I'm glad I did" he responded looking at Qingxia

"Now, what's with that attitude?" she asked "besides that no way to welcome your mother" she stated.

Qingxia was shocked, she didn't know that the elderly woman was madam Tang.

"I'm sorry " He said calming down.

Seeing that he's calmed, Xie Ming took it as an opportunity to speak.

"It's a good thing that you got here on time, mother was just talking to the housekee------" Tang xiao cut her words off before she finished.

"SHE IS NOT MY HOUSEKEEPER, don't you ever dare call her that again, by the way who gave you the permission to come to my house, I thought I warned y... "

"She's with me" madam Tang cut him off.

Xie Ming was beyond shocked, yes she knew that the girl wasn't his housekeeper, and she knew that the girl was a threat to her and Tang xiao's relationship, that was why she instigated madam Tang to come here so that she can do something about it, but she didn't expect Tang xiao to snap at her like that.

Qingxia was also shocked to see him react that way and defend her, but she didn't want to be the cause of any problem between Tang xiao, his mother and fiancee.

"If you say she's not your housekeeper, then who is she and what is she doing in your house?" Madam Tang asked.

"Mother?" Tang xiao called his mother but the word was a question.

"I asked a question, who is she? "

"She's my friend " He answered.

Qingxia was shocked and at the same time happy, at first she was finding it hard to define their relationship, and hearing him say, 'she's his friend' and not a prostitute he saved from the club, made her heart leap for joy.

"Does she live here? " madam Tang asked again.

"Yes" He replied.

"Okay, since we are here for dinner let's not kill the mood, (smiling) you know, Xie Ming prepared the food herself, I didn't even assist her, (sighing ) I know she will make a good wife, I have seen it"

Turning to Xie Ming she said "come on dear go serve the food "

"Yes mother, come everyone, come sit down " Then she turned to Qingxia and said "I think you should join us too since you are Tang xiao's friend, a friend of Tang xiao is a friend of mine, so come"

Madam Tang was happy with Xie Ming character , she knew well that there is more going on between her son and the girl, but chose to pretend, for peace sake, she will allow the sleeping dog to lie.

Qingxia knew she was pretending, she knew this lady hates her, and that she's just acting, but she also had to play along, left for her she would chose to go upstairs to her room and not come down until they have gone, but she can't do that, so she decided to sit down.

Getting to the table Xie Ming started dishing out the food and serving everyone at the table.

Xie Ming was excited so she didn't want to eat first, she wanted every other person to have a taste first and recommend her expertise .

Tang xiao was reluctant to start eating, same with Qingxia but madam Tang hurriedly starting eating.

Taking a bit the first thing she wanted to do was spit it out, but she immediately thought about the implications of her action and decided to force the food down her throat, she didn't try to take a second bite or another spoon of the soup but rather she stylishly started playing with the food.

Seeing the reaction coming from madam Tang, Xie Ming knew that she had messed up with the food.

But Qingxia and Tang xiao was oblivious to what was happening.

So Qingxia took a spoon of the soup and once she put it in her mouth, she wanted to spit it out, but decided against it, because she does not want to anger madam Tang, so she started forcing herself to eat the food.

Then Tang xiao finally took his spoon.

Seeing Tang xiao ready to eat madam Lu wanted to stop him, but couldn't find her voice, she was beyond embrassed.

The moment Tang xiao took a spoon of the soup in his mouth, he immediately spat it out and immediately turned to Qingxia with a shocked expression.

He immediately removed the spoon from Qingxia's hand forcefully before he said.

"Why are you forcing yourself to eat this rubbish?do you want to get sick? You shouldn't have taken another spoon, this isn't healthy " He shouted.

Then he turned to Xie Ming and said.

"Is this food or poison? By the way why ain't you eating what you prepared, come on take a spoon, take it!" he commanded her.

With shaking hand Xie Ming took a spoon but she couldn't swallow.

"Delicious isn't it?" Tang xiao asked.

"Oh come on stop torturing the poor girl, she practically did her best" Madam Tang defended.

"Alright you and mother should finish it, as for me and Qingxia we are filled up"

Then he turned to Qingxia pulling her up he said "Get up I'm not allowing you to take another bite of this rubbish, even a dog want take another bite of this"

"And please when you are leaving make sure to pack everything both the plates, I don't want them in my house" He said and left with Qingxia.

Madam Tang was speechless, she was beyond embarrassed, because she had talked about how Xie Ming would make a good wife , but non the less she had to stand by her.

Getting inside Tang xiao's car Qingxia said to him.

"We shouldn't have left like that, and you should not have done that"

"What I did is the right thing, I can't allow you to shove that poison down your throat, they should eat it themselves"

"Then where are we going now?"

"We are going to eat out, if possible get you some pills from the pharmacy so your stomach won't trouble you. "

"I'm fine." she stated.

"If you say so, then let's go, I'm really hungry."

Then Qingxia smiled at him and he drive out.
