Chapter 428: To put the past behind.
The young fat wombat was in Mingzhu’s arms. She was staring at her mother with a determined look in her eyes. No matter what Mei Mei said, the wombat was staying. "I paid for it in diamonds and aunt Jun Yi agreed to help me take care of it."
"I said no more pets." Mei Mei reminded her, using a stern loud voice. "You went behind my back and imported a wombat!! Not only did you disobey my rules...."
Jingzhe placed his hands on her back. "Easy Mei Mei. Don’t shout, you are scaring our daughter."
She looked around and noticed that everyone seemed worried for Mingzhu. Madam Feng was even shielding her a bit with her body. They were all team wombat already.
Mei Mei stood up sharp eyes fixed on her daughter. "From now on, you will not be getting diamonds on Mondays. All of them will go straight to the bank and you will get access to them at the age of twenty one. All your plushies will be confiscated for a month and there will be no sleep overs with your cousins for two weeks. No smart glasses, no games and no sweets."
Mingzhu gasped. "That is not fair."
"Enjoy your wombat." Mei Mei told her.
Mingzhu burst into tears and turned to Madam Feng to complain that she was being bullied.
"Mei Mei...." Jingzhe started in a soft voice that was ready to plead for his daughter.
She glared at him once and he shut up. If he said anything, he knew that he would be in trouble. "You are right honey, I will go speak to Mingzhu and make her understand where she went wrong."
