Before going to bed, Chi Nuan still had family matters on her mind and couldn't sleep, so she called her mom.
Mother Chi took a while before answering the phone.
"Mom."
"Nuan'er, why are you still up so late?"
Mother Chi's voice had a touch of hoarseness. Although she deliberately lowered her voice, Chi Nuan still noticed it.
"Mom, have you been crying?" Chi Nuan asked worriedly.
"I haven't cried..." Mother Chi laughed a little.
Even though her mother was laughing, Chi Nuan could still hear the sobs in her voice: "You've been crying!"
"Hey, you don't have to worry about mom, mom's fine." Mother Chi gently said.
"Mom, is dad blaming us?" Chi Nuan asked.
Mother Chi sighed lightly, feeling quite aggrieved. Being asked by Chi Nuan, she couldn't help but spill everything out: "How could he not blame us, you know your dad is someone who values face, and he has always respected your uncle. Now that the two families are like this, he must be in a bad mood!"
