"Hey, what do you mean by that? I'm working my butt off here, not playing wife for someone, you make it sound like I've landed some rich, handsome guy."
"No, Jiaojiao, that's not what I meant..."
"Who do you think I am? What's wrong with me coming to work? Who have I bothered?"
"Don't get worked up, I didn't mean it that way. It was just a joke, why take it so seriously? Come on, don't be mad, I'll treat you tonight."
On the phone, her best friend hurriedly tried to smooth things over with a laugh, but Tian Jiaojiao felt an unbearable pain as if pierced by a thousand arrows.
This was clearly not about a simple meal!
"A joke? Do you think this kind of joke is funny? You know how tired I am from running around lately, and you think it's funny to joke at a time like this?"
"Oh, come on, Jiaojiao, can't you see I'm sorry? I'll never make that kind of joke again."
