Chapter 718: Shen Li’s mother found them
" Here come with me," said Sister Li as she ushered Ye Liu and Chen Mi along with the kids inside the VIP room that Yu Dong used whenever she came to their restaurant. On the other hand, the Lang Family was given a room on the first floor since Lang Hui could not climb stairs with his wheelchair.
Sister Li took Ye Liu and Chen Mi to the VIP room on the second floor and then asked the server who was working in the VIP section to bring some porridge and braised chicken as a meal. She even asked for some chicken soup and rice for Little Bun who was yet to start eating things like braised chicken.
Chen Mi looked at Sister Li who was taking extra care of his son and wanted to tell her that his son was stronger than other kids, if possible this glutton can even digest an entire pot of sour and spicy pork without getting a stomach ache but then he stopped himself. There was no need for him to tell Sister Li about Little Bun and his eating habits, since they were out to have a simple meal it would be all right if his son ate soup and rice for a night.
The server took the order that Sister Li gave to her before she bowed and then walked out of the room to go to the kitchen to bring the meal. Fortunately, they did not have to cook everything from scratch or else with Sister Li sitting with the guests, the chefs would have been driven crazy.
" How is Yu Dong? Is she coping well?" Once the server was gone, Sister Li asked Ye Liu and Chen Mi who exchanged a glance with each other and shook their heads.
" She is really upset, though I believe part of her anger is because she did not pick up the poison in the pickle before it harmed the child and Chi," Ye Liu replied to Sister Li with a sigh, he knew that the reason Yu Dong was this angry was not that she was upset with them or the fact that she lost a child but because she could not protect Fang Chi, this was what was eating her up from the inside, he wished he could tell her that she did everything that she could and there was no need for her to be upset with herself but he knew that this was something that Yu Dong has to get through her head on her own.
Because he has been telling the same thing to her over and over again yet she did not listen to him once.
" Well that's ought to be the case, Yu Dong is one of the very few women who care about their husbands and kids if this was someone else …she would have blamed the mer for not taking proper care and divorced him for the loss of a daughter," Sister Li told the two of them have seen many cases where the mer was kicked out of the house even when he was not in the fault when he lost his child.
" That's right," Chen Mi agreed with Sister Li who looked at his sullen expression and patted her thighs as she said, " You don't need to look like that … I do understand that you are upset and believe when I say that I understand your pain the best because when I was young I lost a daughter as well. In fact, it would be right to say that she was killed and that too when she was a month away from celebrating her coming of age."
Chen Mi and Ye Liu raised their heads and looked at Sister Li in surprise who smiled with a hint of sympathy in her eyes and started speaking, " When I was young, I used to live with my family, apart from me and my parents, I had a younger sister who stayed with me as well. She was young and thus she was pampered by my parents a lot, they would give her everything that she asked for no matter what the price and of course, I was the one who paid for everything that she wanted."
" Maybe somewhere because of my father and mother's antics, that girl started to think that it was only right that I hand her everything that I had no matter how unruly she was being, and most of the time I would do so. But then …"
Sister Li sighed and then shook her head in disappointment, " But because of this ungrateful attitude she became a thug in the village when she grew up while I was accepted to work in this restaurant. It was evident that she would get jealous of my promotion since the boss offered a generous salary back then, so my sister went to my father and complained asking me to bring her with me and give her the job instead of taking it and introducing her instead and to my surprise, my father did agree with her."
" Oh my really?" Chen Mi gasped, he could never understand why a parent would be biased like this, did they never think how much this could hurt their children?
" Oh yes he did," Sister Li said bitterly as Chen Mi and Ye Liu listened to her with worried and concerned looks on their faces. " Of course, I refused. I told my father that this was what I earned with my hard work and if my sister wanted something similar she should work hard as well instead of leeching off me."
A sad expression came over Sister Li's face as she sighed and continued, " Sadly my sister was listening to my conversation with our daddy when she heard me refuse she went ballistic and then rushed out of the house in anger when she realised that I have refused her. This was my first time refusing her request and because she thought that the job was already in her bag, she was really upset, you can imagine just how angry she was —— and in her anger, she saw my daughter who was coming back from school."
