Chapter 1294: Climb A Window To Meet (1)
At that moment, Zhong Bingyuan was in her own room. She felt both wronged and angry after her mother slapped her.
Over the years, her mother had grown increasingly controlling of her, to the point of perversion. She felt that there was something wrong with her mother mentally.
She wanted to bring her to see a psychologist, but her mother would rage at the mere mention of it and say that Zhong Bingyuan was cursing her.
Besides that, she really could not understand why her mother hated Mo Chengxi so much.
She could even take a fancy to someone like Su Wenyu but dislike Brother Mo. What was the matter with her taste?
Zhong Bingyuan really did not know what to say, but she did not dare to make too big a fuss.
Her mother had gone overboard in recent years, and her grandfather detested her. Her uncles all disliked her. Even her father’s attitude towards her had grown rather impatient. She was a little worried about what would happen to her mother if she still did not become more discreet.
Her father had endured so many rebukes from the family because of her. Why couldn’t she see that?
Zhong Bingyuan was feeling extremely gloomy. She sprawled on her bed. She did not feel like moving.
Suddenly, the telephone in her room rang.
She picked it up. She still sounded rather choked up.
“Hello!”
“Yuan Yuan, it’s me.”
“Brother Mo!”
When he heard her voice, Mo Chengxi knew that the girl was in a very bad mood. His heart ached, and he sighed and said, “Are you crying?”
Zhong Bingyuan had already regained some control of her emotions, but when she heard his caring voice, she felt even more wronged.
She wanted to cry.
Mo Chengxi sighed. “Are you home? Shall I keep you company?”
“You can’t! My mother is at home too! I had a big fight with my mother today, and she’s still angry! If you come over, she certainly won’t allow you to come in. It’s already dark!”
Mo Chengxi laughed. “Do you want me to keep you company?”
Of course she did. But Grandfather and Father were not yet home. Only she and her mother were at home. If she insisted that Brother Mo come over, her mother would certainly stop him and then there would be another fight.
If they quarreled, the family servants would know, and Grandfather and Father would know too. They would get angry then.
Zhong Bingyuan’s voice was tearful and guilty, “Sorry, Brother Mo. My grandfather and father are not at home. You certainly won’t be able to come in. If I insist that you come in, I’ll have another fight with my mother, and Grandfather and Father will find out…”
Her mother’s position in the family was already precarious. She did not want her parents to divorce!
Mo Chengxi smiled and said very gently, “Don’t worry, I won’t let your mother find out. Just tell me, do you want to see me?”
Zhong Bingyuan was puzzled!
“Do you want to see me? I promise I’ll come over and keep you company without your mother finding out.”
Zhong Bingyuan was shocked. “This… is that possible?”
“Do you want to see me?”
“… yes…”
Mo Chengxi was finally satisfied. “Turn off the lights in your room and go to sleep. Just leave the night light on. I’ll be there in half an hour.”
Zhong Bingyuan: “…”
She was stunned for a long time and could not respond.
He said he was coming to see her but asked her to turn off the lights and go to sleep?
She was already home, but he would not let her mother find out?
This…
Zhong Bingyuan could not figure it out, but she still obediently turned off the light. She was even inspired to lock the room door from the inside.
She just left a dim light by the bed. The entire room fell into darkness. When her eyes adjusted, she could barely see.
