Chapter 394 Only One Daughter
After hanging up the phone, he said apologetically, "Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry. I was planning to go back tomorrow, but my assistant just said that I have an important meeting tomorrow morning, so I have to go back tonight.
Mengmeng, I'm sorry, I'll come back with you next time."
I was just about to show off my gentleness and virtuousness when my dad answered, "Business is more important. City A isn't far away. You can come back anytime you want. It doesn't matter if you spend all night here."
Deng Sisi said on the side: "It's so tiring to take the bus back so late. It would be better to let my sister leave early tomorrow morning, aunt, don't you think so?"
Xiao Shiqiu looked at her deeply, smiled and nodded, "What my cousin said makes sense. It's okay for me, but I would feel bad if Mengmeng got tired.
Or why don't you take the car back? I'll send a helicopter to pick you up."
"Ahem~" I almost choked to death on the orange.
I quickly took a sip of water to calm down, "No need, let's take the car, it's just over two hours, I won't feel tired at all if I take your car.
Before, I always took the train to and from school, carrying my luggage. When they couldn't buy a ticket, my parents were busy with their own things. I even squeezed on the green-skinned train, but I got through it, didn't I? "
My dad looked a little uncomfortable, and my mom looked even uglier.
During my first winter vacation after going to school in City A, I was inexperienced and didn’t buy the train ticket in advance. I called my dad to pick me up, but he said he was on a business trip and asked my mom to pick me up.
I called my mother again, but she said I was being too pampered. If there was no high-speed train, I would buy a green-skinned train. She was asked to make a special trip for such a short distance because she didn't have time.
Later I found out that she went to the county to pick up Deng Sisi, and also took her to the outlet mall in the suburbs of City A, saying that it was not on her way to pick me up.
Xiao Shiqiu looked at me with a distressed expression, "If only I had met you earlier, I would never let you suffer this kind of grievance again."
My dad said awkwardly, "It's the same if we leave early tomorrow..."
I interrupted him decisively: "Let's go tonight. My room is quite messy and not very convenient for living. Let's go back now.
Oh, and I'll find out where I can park a helicopter near my house. Next time I can take a helicopter back."
My dad gave my mom a reproachful look. "Sisi, haven't you cleaned up Mengmeng's room yet? Remember to ask her to put it back to its original state."
After all, this is Mengmeng's home. Even if she gets married, the room must be kept for her!"
In order to ease the relationship with me, my father started to act like the head of the family. Unlike before, he was afraid of offending my mother and would either pretend not to know or try to smooth things over.
Deng Sisi's expression was so ugly that it couldn't be described. She was filled with so much resentment that I was afraid of calling a Taoist priest.
I smiled harmlessly, "Mom, Sisi will only be staying here until she graduates. I'm your only child, so I have to come back often, don't you think, Dad?"
"Yes, yes, Mengmeng is right. You are my only daughter, and we will always have a room reserved for you at home."
Although my father's smile was forced, his words were very firm. I noticed that he subconsciously changed the sentence "I am the only 'child'" to "I am the only 'daughter'".
There is nothing wrong with this. He indeed only has one daughter, and the one outside is his son.
But my mother has two daughters, and she doesn't like to hear this.
She took a deep breath and said, "Sisi just lost her mother, so it's normal for me to care about her more. I hope you can understand.
Besides, you don’t have any brothers or sisters. When your parents are gone, Sisi will be the person closest to you.”
Xiao Shiqiu remained calm on the surface, but his eyes had obviously turned cold.
