Chapter 288: Reassurance
She was like a little child who was worried about the anger of her parents after making a mess.
Chi Wei chuckled softly and replied assuredly, "No, she is not mad, she is just sad."
After receiving such heartbreaking news, their mother was just drained, in his opinion. She had no reason to be angry with Chi-Chi.
"Trust me Chi-Chi, mother just needs to rest for a while and digest this news. We can’t blame her for being shocked or reacting the way she has, we were shocked too." He further said.
Chi Lian sighed and wiped the last of her tears away, choosing to believe in Chi Wei’s words. She had calmed down and she was suffocating now because her very tall brothers were squeezing her too tightly in their circle.
"Guys, can you let me go now?" she said.
"Will you cry again?" Chi Wei asked.
She shook her head, "No," she replied, "I will not cry anymore. We should look for that old woman immediately and find out what she knows before mother does. If mother confronts her before we do, she will be swindled and cajoled by those people easily."
There was a sound of buzzing, someone was at the door and the four siblings stepped out of the hug. Secretly, Chi Zimo run away and washed his face. When Chi Lian cried, he cried too and he did not want anyone to know.
"Who is at the door?" She asked.
"I will check." Chi Rui answered.
