When Chen Ruo Yu arrived home in C-city, it was already past 12 midnight. She was afraid she would disturb her parents and so took out her keys to open the door silently. Unexpectedly, the moment she opened the door, she heard the voices of several people.
“That’s it for today.”
“Look at your happiness, you’ve won everyone.”
“It’s just that I’m lucky.”
“Are we going to play again tomorrow?”
“No, my daughter is coming home tomorrow. I’ll call you.”
Chen Ruo Yu could recognize it was her mother’s voice that said the last sentence. When she walked into the living room, she saw the mahjong table and several motherly figures who were saying farewell.
Chen Ruo Yu was dumbstruck. She was angry and felt like crying.
“Yo, isn’t this Xiao Yu? Your mother just said you will be back tomorrow. It’s so late and you’ve rushed back.”
When Chen Mother saw her daughter, she was somewhat surprised. Chen Father who heard the commotion in the living room came rushing out of his bedroom and on seeing Chen Ruo Yu had returned, he was shocked. He felt very happy and hurriedly told her to sit down for a rest.
When Chen Mother saw her daughter’s expression was not good, in her heart she knew the reason and she sent all her friends out of the house. Chen Ruo Yu looked at her coldly, gritted her teeth and did not say anything.
Chen Father also felt a bit guilty. He poured a glass of water for his daughter and asked. “Didn’t you say you’ll be back tomorrow?”
Chen Mother turned back from the door and walked to the living room. Then she began to pack up the mahjong tiles on the table and ignored her daughter.
The more she thought, the angrier she became and Chen Ruo Yu said loudly. “Didn’t you say your heart is unwell? I was afraid something serious had happened and I rushed back in the night. I didn’t think you can play mahjong with the illness!”
Chen Mother pushed the mahjong tiles aside abruptly and shouted loudly. “Why do you feel so proud for rushing home in the night? This old mother had brought you up and you feel aggrieved just for taking a night bus?”
“Then you shouldn’t have lied to me!” Chen Ruo Yu’s anger rose. “Do you know how worried I felt?!”
“You also know telling a lie is not good? You also know how to feel worried?” Chen Mother’s voice became louder. She pointed her finger at her daughter. “Just think about what good things you have done! What trading company manager? What yearly promotion? You can also give us that story! At that time, when we found something amiss, we tried to contact you and your phone line was canceled. We don’t even know where you live and we can’t find you. You are a girl who is living alone in a foreign city without anyone beside you. For several nights, I and your Dad couldn’t sleep, isn’t that worrying for you? Did I scold you? This old woman held back and hadn’t taught you a lesson yet. You are now so awesome and the minute you come back, you shouted loudly. Worry? You know the fart about worry!”
Chen Ruo Yu’s eyes were hot, her nose felt sour and her eyes were filled with tears. She only felt ashamed and sad.
Chen Father who was at the side anxiously tried to persuade them. “Ai, ai…..it’s very late. Don’t talk about this anymore. Our daughter had just returned home and she’s tired. Let her rest first and tomorrow morning we can discuss this.”
