Chapter 293: Mothers and daughters
In the kitchen, mama Chi sent all the maids and the chef out. Only she, Chi Lian and Mei-Mei were left in a tense situation.
Chi Lian’s head was bowed down and nervously she was clutching at her pants. She wanted to say something but she was scared, unsure of what to say first and worried that she could say the wrong thing.
She also didn’t want to see any signs of disappointment or anger toward her on her mother’s face. It would kill her to see that.
"Why aren’t you looking at me?" Mama Chi asked.
"Because, you are mad at me." Chi Lian blurted out in a tearful voice. "I just wanted to protect you mother, I had no intention of hurting you, I am sorry." She finished with tears misting over her eyes.
"Oh for God’s sake!" Mama Chi exclaimed.
Chi Lian felt herself being pulled into her mother’s embrace. Quickly, she wrapped her arms around her mother’s waist and cried, "Mother," "wuwuwuuuu," she cried, " mother, don’t be angry with me."
"Why are you being so dramatic?" mama Chi asked. "Who told you that I was angry with you?"
Chi Lian sobbed softly and replied, "You ignored me in the living room and you didn’t talk to me when you left the hospital."
"Did I talk to anyone?" Mama Chi asked her.
Chi Lian thought about it, and truly from the hospital, mama Chi spoke to no one. She did not even talk to their father, not even when he was escorting her upstairs to their bedroom. Indeed, she had over thought that situation and blown it out of proportion in her mind.
