Chapter 261 Mom Has Changed
Huang Duoduo quickly packed her things and came out, carrying a backpack on her back and pulling a large suitcase in her hand.
Upon seeing Riemann, she instinctively reached out to hand her suitcase, but Riemann didn't take it. Instead, she said calmly, "Let's go."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Huang Duoduo's eyes. If it were before, Li Man would definitely have helped her get it.
Seeing Riemann walk away, Huang Duoduo quickly pulled her suitcase and followed.
"Mom, where's your car?" Huang Duoduo asked.
"I didn't drive here today; my friend brought me."
As she spoke, Li Man walked to Huo Jiansheng's car, opened the door, and said, "Give me the suitcase, and you can get in."
Huo Jiansheng opened the trunk, and Li Man put Huang Duoduo's suitcase in the trunk.
Huang Duoduo was somewhat reserved when she saw Huo Jiansheng.
Li Man sat in the passenger seat and turned to Huang Duoduo, saying, "Call him Uncle Huo."
Huang Duoduo reluctantly called out, "Uncle Huo."
Huo Jiansheng didn't have a good impression of Huang Duoduo, so he gave a perfunctory "hmm" and started the car.
"Shall I take you home now?" Huo Jiansheng asked.
Thinking that Huo Jiansheng hadn't eaten with her yet, Li Man said, "Are you hungry? Let's find a place to eat around here."
Huo Jiansheng remained silent, which was clearly an admission of agreement.
It was already 8:30 pm, and Huo Jiansheng was indeed hungry, so he randomly picked a restaurant nearby that looked decent to eat at.
After ordering, Riemann went to pay the bill.
Huo Jiansheng is not good at coaxing children, and coupled with his bad impression of Huang Duoduo, he did not say a word to her throughout the entire process.
During the meal, Huang Duoduo kept stealing glances at Huo Jiansheng.
He thought to himself: He must be the one who hit Dad. Dad is so pitiful!
Huang Duoduo felt indignant on behalf of her father and deliberately ignored Huo Jiansheng, only talking to Li Man.
The meal was finished in a very discordant atmosphere.
After the meal, Huo Jiansheng asked Li Man, "Where should I take you back?"
Huang Duoduo quickly said, "I want to go home!"
Huo Jiansheng ignored her and continued to look at Li Man.
Li Man didn't want to go back to Huang Dehan's place, so she said, "Let's go back to Xiao Hui's place."
Upon hearing this, Huang Duoduo quickly said, "Mom, I don't want to go to Aunt Chen's. Can we go home?"
"I don't have a key to your house, how should I reply?"
Li Man said angrily, her anger rising at the thought of Huang Dehan changing the locks.
"I have some here!"
Last time Riemann knocked on the door, she wanted to open it for her, but her father wouldn't let her, so she didn't dare to open it.
She knew that Riemann was still angry with her about this.
“Never mind, that’s your home, not mine. If you want to go back there, I’ll take you back. I’m not staying there,” Riemann said.
She no longer wants to indulge her daughter; her daughter is already twelve years old and it's time for her to learn to be independent.
Upon hearing that she would be home alone, Huang Duoduo became reluctant. She wanted to coax Li Man into staying with her, but when she met Li Man's stern eyes, she dared not speak.
I don't know why, but she's so afraid of her mother now. Her mother has changed; she's not as easy to talk to as before, and she doesn't love her anymore.
After realizing this, Huang Duoduo suddenly felt very lost.
It feels like I've lost something precious, and I feel empty inside.
Huang Duoduo became extremely nervous, fearing that Li Man would really ignore her, so she had no choice but to agree to go with Li Man to stay at Chen Xiaohui's place.
