Chapter 156 - 156 A Glimpse Of His Past?

"Are you sure you wanted to invite them? Just because you are his daughter does not mean that you are obliged to do it. The moment he casted you and chose someone else already made a clear line between the two of you." Mother Song worriedly said as she grabbed a hold of October's cold hands into her warm ones.

Her eyes shone a dark and firm light as she vowed to protect her daughter-in-law. She was beyond herself when she heard that her daughter-in-law had such a sc.u.m of a father. To have such an outstanding daughter like October, what else could a parent ask for?

October was without a doubt a well-cultured lady. She also excelled in her studies during universities years. Aside from the fact that she lacked on some aspects that normal people have, people around her had already grown accustomed that October was someone not ordinary. Saying that, she was elegant and calm. Even though she was cold and somewhat indifferent, it was not biting and harsh.

Right now, October was standing in her own two feet firmly rooted on the ground that she had built on her own. She was also successful in her career which she got with her own two hands without using her family background or any underhanded tricks.

This alone was enough to know that October was someone that people can never look down upon.

And yet, Peizhi Park, October's own father, had the audacity to turn his back on his own daughter.

Isn't that just frustrating?

If Peizhi is not stupid, then what is he?

The more Mother Song thought about this, the more her blood boiled in anger. Her hands holding October's tightened unconsciously making October frown slightly in pain. However, this did not show for long before her expression returned to being serene and calm, a face without expression.

October looked up and saw the face her mother-in-law was showing. She was taken aback. She blinked her eyes and her heart was filling up with warmth.

'Ah…so this is how it felt like to have someone care for you. Is this considered a parent's love?'

This warmth was sweet yet bitter all the same. For someone like her who was orphaned since young, she had already forgotten how it felt like to have the warmth of a mother.

"Mother, calm down." Ma Rong said lightly with a bright smile on his handsome face. He leaned on his chair lazily. He looked like someone who does not care about anything and just lived life to the fullest.

"Eh?" Mother Song blinked her dazzling eyes.

"You are squeezing Berry's hands too hard."

After pointing this out, Mother Song looked at her hands and sure enough, October's fingers were starting to turn blue due to blood not circulated. She instantly let go and apologized.

"I'm sorry dear."

Ma Rong looked at the interaction between October and Mother Song and found it quite cute. Somehow, he had also missed his mother but then as a shadow overlapped on the figure of his mother and his face darkened.

"Rong'er, are you okay?" October worriedly asked Ma Rong. Her eyes gazed at him quite inquisitively.

Blankly looking at the gorgeous face of October, Ma Rong blinked a few times before regaining his awareness.

'Sh*t. I let my emotions leak on my face. Not good, not good. If I act weirdly, October might get worried about me.' Ma Rong thought. He then immediately recomposed himself and his face lightened up with a bright lazy smile.

"Yes, of course. Why wouldn't I be when I have two gorgeous ladies accompanying me?" Ma Rong flashed a playful look on his eyes while wiggling his brows at Mother Song and October.

'Yeah. I have to control my emotions. October is already stressed with her own problems so I could not let my own problems be added into hers.'

"Are you sure you're okay, dear?" Mother Song also got worried at the sudden dark look of Ma Rong a few seconds ago.

"Oh~! I feel so happy to have to stunning ladies worrying about me this much. Berry, I need a hug."

"Don't touch me!" October harshly slapped Ma Rong's naughty hands away from her. However, her mind was thinking of Ma Rong and tried to rack he brains to try and understand that blank and distant look of Ma Rong. She was really worried.

Suddenly, knocks were heard and soon came in the waiters with their dishes on hand. Soon, the room was filled with mouth-watering aroma which did not fail to make the three's stomachs to protest. Ma Rong was much more obvious as he tried to wipe his drool from his mouth.

October looked at Ma Rong with a meaningful gaze yet did not say anything. For now, she will try to be silent and observe how things will go. She will wait for the day that Ma Rong will go to her and voluntarily tell her about things that he was worried about. She will wait no matter how long it would take. That's the only thing she can do as a friend.

Ma Rong noticed October's gaze and felt really touched by the concern he got from her. She was really grateful to have her as his friend, no matter who he was.

"Smells good. Here, let me help you." Mother Song clapped her hands and started to get some dishes and put it on October's plate.

Ma Rong also did the same as he went to pile food on his own plate and placed it next to October's. "I won't let mother beat me to it."

October looked at the pile of food before her and had a déjà vu.

"Mother, Rong'er. I can't eat all of this." She complained as she pushed the piled up food back to Mother Song and Ma Rong.

"Dear, trust me. This much is not enough. You will start to crave and eat a lot. I was also like that when I had Lexus so eat as much as you can. The you now is so thin, ah!" Mother Song exclaimed as she shook her head elegantly.

October looked at the food before her and sighed in her heart. She knew that her mother-in-law was a stubborn woman; hence, Lexus was the same. But she was also a stubborn one.

"Mother, if I eat as much as this all of a sudden, I might upset my stomach. I want to take this slow and if ever I will really eat a lot, then I would in turn not torture myself and hold back." October firmly said as she pushed the plate away from her.

Mother Song pouted but seeing the serious look on her daughter-in-law's face, she knew that she already had made up her mind and there was no longer any room for changing it. With that, she pulled the plate back to her and ate it.

"You can have this." Ma Rong pushed the plate of food he got for October with a bright smile and sparkling eyes.

October only gave him a dark and cold look that gave Ma Rong a chill. His smile froze up and he reluctantly pulled his plate back. He then heard Mother Song snickered beside him making shrink in his seat even more.

After that small clash of stubbornness, the three ate their meal in relish. Not long later, the body guards who went to put the things they bought came in and sat on their own table beside their master's. They were invited to eat with their master yet they adamantly refused to do so.
