Chapter 213 [Eased Atmosphere] (6200)
After Lu Sisi trembled slightly, her gaze at Lu Xiuting carried a strange and complex emotion, but for a mont she didn’t respond.
Lu Xiuting hesitated for a mont, then asked, "What, what’s wrong? You..."
However, Lu Sisi turned her face slightly to look elsewhere. This ti, she slowly withdrew her hand from Lu Xiuting’s palm.
The girl said softly, "It’s nothing."
After a pause, Lu Sisi seed to force a bitter smile: "It’s just... it seems like you haven’t asked if I’m okay for several years."
Lu Xiuting was stunned.
Lu Sisi sighed lightly, barely smiling: "Mom, weren’t you thirsty? Have so tea. According to Chen Yan, the tea at ho is quite good. I usually don’t like tea, so I don’t understand these things. Try it."
Lu Xiuting fell silent and took a sip from the teacup.
The taste was bitter!
Lu Sisi seed to have relaxed; she adjusted her posture while sitting on the sofa—was it Lu Xiuting’s illusion? She felt that her daughter had moved a bit farther away from her after adjusting her position.
"I’m doing quite well now. Maybe you and dad don’t know, but since the end of last year, I’ve resolved the bad luck issue. The past half-year has been very peaceful for .
Well... the only troubleso thing I encountered was probably the incident at school last month..."
Lu Xiuting’s hand shook.
She put down the teacup, her voice sowhat weak: "That incident was our fault, your dad and I, we..."
"Mom!"
Suddenly, Lu Sisi turned her head, looking at Lu Xiuting with red eyes, biting her lip: "Regarding that incident, fundantally, it was , your daughter, I was bullied!"
I was bullied!
These words pierced Lu Xiuting’s heart.
"That boy was pursuing at school and then pestered . After I rejected him again, I accidentally pushed him, and he got a bit hurt. Then he used this to blackmail , falsely accusing of intentionally hurting him.
I was taken to the police station and even detained for a few days!!"
Lu Sisi took a deep breath: "Do you know what the place where I was held was like? Detention, do you know?
I was held with the won brought in for prostitution, and, well, delinquent won. I was detained for a few days with people like that.
When I got out, even though I was wronged, I had to sign my na and apologize in person to that boy!
And you, and dad, from beginning to end, didn’t say a word to defend , didn’t show any sign of protecting as your daughter."
Lu Xiuting’s body trembled.
Lu Sisi quickly wiped the corner of her eye, speaking softly: "At the police station, I had to apologize to that boy who falsely accused before he would write a letter of understanding.
Dad was there at the ti, but he didn’t defend , not a single word.
He just ordered to bow and apologize to the guy who falsely accused .
When we got ho, I was crying the whole way, and dad just said one thing to .
At the ti he looked at and said: Why do you always bring trouble to this family!"
Lu Xiuting trembled, yet hurriedly explained: "Sisi, that, that was sothing your dad said, I, I didn’t..."
"Yes, you didn’t, mom." Lu Sisi exhaled, but her words were even sharper: "Because you didn’t even show up, you didn’t even go."
Lu Xiuting’s words of explanation suddenly got stuck in her throat, not a word more could co out.
"Mom, the last ti you showed any concern for was four years ago." Lu Sisi said softly, "Four years ago, when I was in my first year of high school, my eyes got inflad. One night, you helped drop so eye drops once.
Yes, once."
As Lu Sisi spoke, a trace of helplessness and bitterness was revealed in her tone: "But that ti when my eyes were inflad, the treatnt required four days of eye drops, four tis a day.
And you, only on one of the days, helped with the drops once—that was the last ti I felt any gesture of concern from you.
And I know, actually, that ti you helped with the eye drops was only out of so sense of guilt—because the next day, you and dad were going to take my brother out of town on a trip, leaving , sick, alone at ho."
"And, and not alone, the family, the family still had Hu..."
"Mom, you rembered wrong." Lu Sisi shook her head, speaking slowly: "We always used a part-ti worker until the sumr after my first year of high school. After the sumr, because my brother got into a good elentary school that was farther from ho, you hired Aunt Hu as a full-ti nanny to have more ti to accompany my brother to art classes.
That ti when my eyes were inflad, the next day you both took my brother out of town. That ti, I was ho alone."
"That ti... That ti was your brother’s sumr camp, was part of his art course studies, he was so young, a parent had to accompany him..." Lu Xiuting hurriedly argued.
"Well, then the New Year break... every sumr, winter break..." Lu Sisi sighed.
Her tone suddenly beca calm, shaking her head, looking at Lu Xiuting: "Mom, there’s no need to find excuses to explain, I actually understand it all.
I’ve also accepted your attitude towards over the years, I’ve already accepted it, and have accepted it for many years.
