Chapter 186: Their best hits.
"As always, I appreciate your candidness." He responded sarcastically.
Mei Mei shrugged. "It happens Junjie, sometimes as parents, we fail and we screw up our children. Look at me, I was so determined to give my daughter a full family and I ended up traumatizing her. Her father was an even worse asshole. He didn’t care for my baby at all and he has another child with his mistress. A child he loves, so my baby is troubled as to why her father doesn’t love her.
Now, Mingzhu gets antsy when does not see Jingzhe for so long. When she comes home from school, if he is not around she has to speak to him on the phone and ask when he will be home for dinner. She has to go for therapy twice a week to talk about her feelings." She sighed. "Six Junjie, she is only six! I am worried about how all this will affect her in future.
All I can do is love her, support her, be there for her and hope that she will turn out alright."
She dashed into a changing room and changed in casual pants, a vest and jacket. When she came out, she was also holding her digging tools. "I am going to continue preparing my ponds, go to bed if you want to or follow me and listen to me talk about all the ways in which you and your wife dropped the ball when it came to raising Long Shuang."
He chose to follow her and when they reached the pond area, he found two robot butlers working on the grounds. It was still dark outside and the lights near the forest were dim so he had to squint to ensure that he was seeing robot butlers.
He looked at Mei Mei and she shrugged. Her mother was the inventor of robot butlers. Nobody truly believed that their family had retired the technology just because of one tragic incident.
If one visited the homes of the aristocrats and looked close enough, they would see a robot butler or two on the grounds.
Junjie did not comment on it. Instead, he looked at the ponds that she had dug earlier in the day had been filled with water, stocked with fish, rocks and aquatic plants.
