Chapter 61: Become better parents
"Excuse me?"
The tense confrontational silence between Mingshen and Mrs. Shen dissipated as a young volunteer knocked on the door. "Mam. A couple has come to meet you. They introduced themselves as..." he looked down at his notepad, "Mr. Ma Wenyan and Mrs. Ma Yanyu."
The names surprised Jia, who threw a thoughtful and questionable look at Huojin. The intrigue in Mingshen’s expression was evident too.
"Oh, okay. I will meet them."
Huojin glanced at Jia and as if they read each other’s minds, they followed her outside too.
Ma Wenyan and Ma Yanyu, who were patiently waiting for Mrs. Shen, were taken aback to see the cops. "You..."
Huojin watched them curiously. "What are you doing here, Mr. and Mrs. Ma?"
Mrs. Shen warmly smiled. "Yes Mr. Ma, how can I help you? Oh and how is your daughter, Ma Juan?"
Ma Wenyan lowered his gaze. "Fine for now...It will be tough though. She has been the closest to Mom..." he spoke hoarsely, tears welling in his eyes.
