Chapter 30 - Silly Child, what is the matter?

Lady Chen saw how reluctant her daughter was and said, "Lihua you said earlier that you wanted me go to sleep and also how tired your mother in-law was, now, are trying to go back on your words when am already fufilling your wish?"

Chen Lihua remained silent as she was too angry to talk.

Lady Chen asked her again seeing that she refused to answer the earlier question, "Don't you care about your Mama anymore?".

Chen Lihua thought she just heard the dumbest joke in the world.

"Yes, I don't care about you anymore".

Lady Chen gave a smile that was not really a smile, "Oh!, since you don't care about me anymore, I don't see a reason for you to live here, so after you leave now, don't come back here again".

Liu Longwei thought that things were getting out of hands so he intervened.

Liu Longwei walked to were Lady Chen and Chen Lihua were standing, he held one of Chen Lihua's hands and said, "Lady Chen don't get angry, Lihua was only joking, how can she not care about you again?, In this world, it's one of the most impossible thing to happen".

Then he said to Chen Lihua, "Lihua let's go, you can come back here at any time you want".

Liu Longwei's words meant that Chen Lihua could come back to the Chen Villa at anytime she wanted.

And this showed that he was doting on Chen Lihua without him knowing, but the two women (Lady Chen and Madam Liu) knew and understood.

So, Liu Longwei settled the case with this. He turned to his mother and said, "Mom let's go home".

"Ju Ju, we would be on our way now".

And so, Lady Chen walked them out to the entrance.

At the entrance, Madam Liu hugged Lady Chen and said a goodbye to her before climbing into the car and sitting on the chair in the third row, leaving the the second passenger chair for Liu Longwei and Chen Lihua.

Next, Liu Longwei told Chen Lihua to go in but, she looked at her mother, inside the car, Liu Longwei and then back to her mother before running back to hug her mother and in that process, the medicated glasses on her nearly fell off so Lady Chen caught the glasses and hugged Chen Lihua.

Lady Chen sighed, "Silly child, what is the matter?"

In her mother's embrace, Chen Lihua cried, "Mother, I don't want to go anywhere, I want to stay with you".

Lady Chen patted her back, "Hua'er don't cry, you are a married woman now, so you should be with your husband and not with me".

Chen Lihua didn't want to listen to her mother, so she continued crying.

Lady Chen said, "Lihua you are embarrassing yourself, see how the servants are looking at you, and am sure they must be laughing at you in their mind".

Chen Lihua sniffed and answered, "mmm, let them laugh at me, I don't care. After all, am not crying with their eyes".

Liu Longwei that was worried earlier laughed softly, 'What a woman, it seems like she's OK'.

Even Madam Liu that just got down from the car couldn't hide her laughter.

In the driver's seat, Asst Duyi forced his laughter back, he felt that Chen Lihua was unbelievable.

Lady Chen laughed as well and released Chen Lihua from her embrace. She wiped Chen Lihua's eyes with her hands and commented, "Funny girl".

Chen Lihua left her mother's embrace but still held her on her arm.

Lady Chen said to her, "You know you are my baby, so don't cry anymore OK?".

Chen Lihua nodded her head in agreement but still didn't release Lady Chen from her hold.

Lady Chen didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so she said, "Hua'er hurry up go it's late already, don't keep your husband and mother in-law waiting".
