Chapter 150: Plans fall apart.
As a mother that had long grown used to the stubbornness of her daughter Jun Meilin had also learned not to give in to silly tantrums and blackmail schemes. So, she gave her daughter a heavy-handed stare.
"Eat your food." She ordered in a testy voice.
Mingzhu did not back down, she refused, tipping her small chin upwards.
Quiet enveloped the dining room, tension in the air was like a game of chess where both players hovered over their next move, each calculating, each knowing that one wrong move could end it all. The stakes were high, and nobody dared to blink.
This tension had even extended among the relatives in the Jun/Chi family chat group who were watching the newest live episode of life with Jun Meilin and General Mingzhu.
"Mo Mingzhu..." Mei Mei growled softly.
"You said I am not a Mo. My name is Jun Mingzhu. Jun Mingzhu wants to see her father or she won’t eat forever." Mingzhu replied.
"Oh..." Mei Mei scoffed, "Fine, don’t eat. I told you when you asked for him when we were doing homework that he is working. He will be home soon."
"But I want to see him now." She whined. "I won’t eat, I won’t eat, Mingzhu won’t eat. Bad uncle went for work and he came back with another child and said he would throw Mingzhu away. You are a liar, bring my good daddy." Mingzhu shouted and burst into tears.
