Chapter 118: The old master has class.
"They are gone; they won’t be coming back anytime soon." Chi Wei came back inside the house and announced loudly. "Is everyone okay?" he asked.
"We are all fine," Chi Lian announced on behalf of everyone. They were all crowded around mama Chi to see if she was okay. Mama Chi was sobbing inconsolably. "Mum, it will be okay, stop crying."
"Why can’t she love me, I am her daughter too. Why does she keep doing this to me? Am I so unlovable?" Mama Chi sobbed.
"Li yu, it has been so many years already, you can’t keep begging for her love." Papa Chi said.
Chi Lian wanted to tell Papa Chi that there was nobody in this world who did not long for the love of their parents. She could vividly recall how many times she watched her cousins with their parents in her former life. The love they shared was deep and profound; it made her envious and jealous. Many nights she cried herself to sleep while holding their pictures so she could understand Mama Chi’s feelings. The love of a parent was a necessity in one’s life.
But why did their grandmother hate her mother so much? Wasn’t she her child.
"Mum, is she your biological mother? Have you ever considered doing a DNA test?" Chi Lian asked. She probably wasn’t the only one in the family wondering about this. Anybody with common sense had to be curious about this issue.
"Chi-Chi, how can you say such a thing?" Papa Chi said to her sternly.
"No dad, Chi-Chi is right. Grandma’s viciousness towards mum is not natural, we must be missing something." Chi Wei stepped in and defended Chi Lian.
