Mei Mei leaned forward, tempted to see what would happen if she crossed the boundaries that her friend was trying to set. "So, if I show up to your engagement with my very well behaved dog on a leash, will you turn me away?"
As Meihua picked up a fat slice of pizza that had too much cheese, she nodded firmly. "Yes."
Mei Mei gasped. "I am your best friend!" She exclaimed.
"Whether it is family or friends, boundaries must be set." Meihua answered without shame or hesitation. She was very firm when it came to the things that made her happy or unhappy.
If something made her unhappy, she refused to do it, no matter the consequences. The only consequence she considered was death. So only life and death matters mattered.
Pets at a wedding were not life and death matters. Moreover, her family also had pets but none would be at her functions.
