Jiang Meilin had woken up the night when they arrived. It was great news for Bai Renxiang and old man Jiang. They pampered her alot. They did not even let her lift a pinky. Since then, old man Jiang ensured that she had maximum rest, drank alot of water, ate vegetables and fruits too. Jiang Meilin was getting healthier and she had her father and daughter to thank for that.
"Honey, can you help me take those dishes to the table? I am almost done here," Jiang Meilin asked.
"Of course mum. Hmm a simple dish. Roast beef, mashed potatoes and tomatoes sauce. I hope there is alot of onion here because I used to hear it is good for the kidney. Who are you making the egg and toast for?" Bai Renxiang was curious. Old mam Jiang does not fancy fried eggs, same goes for Bai Renxiang.
"Oh, it's for me. I was craving fried egg with toast and hot choco. So I'm making it," Jiang Meilin said.

"Are you sure it's them and not you that wants to be stuffed?" Jiang Meilin asked teasingly.
"Do not make it so obvious mum. Geez, fine then , lemme rephrase that. I can't wait to get these yummies in my tummy," Bai Renxiang dramatically said. All she could see was food food food. Chuckling lightly, Jiang Meilin sent her off. "What a foodie."
"Gramps, come down for breakfast or I will make sure that there is only clean plates for you to eat," Bai Renxiang shouted mischievously.
"Don't you dare you sly brat. I am coming in a minute, no in thirty seconds. Do not eat without this old man," Old man Jiang shouted from his room. He quickly wore a grey shirt on a black sweatpants and rushed downstairs wearing a pair of black flip-flops to safe his food from that food thief.
The little family of three had each taken their seats at the table and had started digging into Jiang Meilin's sweet dishes. "I missed my daughter's cooking so much. What a divine bliss to dine from your kitchen," grandpa Jiang praised.
"Yeah Gramps. Mum's food is way better than everything I have eaten for so many years," Bai Renxiang chipped in. It was true though. The food she was given at the Bai mansion was either to bland or too salty or too peppery. Maybe she was the only one given that kind of food because she had never heard the rest of the family complaining about it.
Looking at her with remorse, Jiang Meilin placed more beef on her plate and asked her to eat more. Old man Jiang felt sad to know that his granddaughter had suffered alot with the Bai's. But now they ate reunited, he would make sure that they lived well this time.
"So, Renxiang what do you intend to do as of now?" He asked. Swallowing her food and drinking water from the glass cup beside her, Bai Renxiang sat upright on her chair. "Well I don't know yet but I have started searching for any job application online. Since it is Thursday, I wanted to get used to my environment while still searching for a favourable place to work," she explained.
Old man Jiang nodded his head in approval. His granddaughter was not willing to give up even after the social trauma she had go through. That is a quality of a Jiang. They never give up.

She wanted to experience how it was to live freely. No excess work, no nagging and no competition for attention. It will just be her, her house and silence. Nothing less, nothing more.
"What? Live alone? Why? I will not agree to that?" Old man Jiang frowned at her decision.
"I also don't want you to stay alone either. That's a big no from my side," Jiang Meilin also disagreed. She had stayed out of their discussion because she wanted Bai Renxiang to not live by people's decision for her. But what she just blurted out, was crap to her ears. Why should her daughter stay alone? How would she survive alone? What would she do if something were to happen to her baby girl?
