Chapter 55 - Causing A Scene (2/2)
Li Qin Yao was taken aback at the news. She knew that Chen Hao was very filial to his mother. To think that Chen Hao has not returned home to see his mother for a month… Why did this guy suddenly rebel?
”Excuse me, Mrs. Chen. After the last time we met, I have broken up with your son and had never seen him again,” Li Qin Yao said. ”If your son had not returned home for a month, shouldn't you be looking for him at his workplace or something? Why did you come here to make a scene?”
As Li Qin Yao finished, she glanced at Tang Ai Ling with a sharp look. She could guess that Tang Ai Ling had somehow made Mother Chen believe that she had something to do with Chen Hao.
Once their gaze met, Tang Ai Ling, shrunk behind Mother Chen.
Li Qin Yao was about to turn back and head back into her office when she felt someone grabbing her arms.
”If I can find Chen Hao at his workplace, do you think I would be coming here to find you?” Mother Chen was almost shrieking.
Li Qin Yao staggered backward as Mother Chen released her grip. Her body slammed against the wall behind her and she winced in pain.
”Qin Yao, are you alright?” Auntie Yu, who has been watching everything from the side, swiftly went to Li Qin Yao's side to checked on her boss. Then, Auntie Yu turned to Mother Chen in anger. ”This customer here, if you continue to cause a scene here, I'm afraid that we will have to call the police.”
Tang Ai Ling tugged at Mother Chen's hand while whispering words to calm her down. However, Mother Chen could not be appeased.
Mother Chen had raised her son for all her life and this was the first time that her son had not to listen to her words. Even during Chen Hao's teenage years, he was someone who would listen to her arrangement obediently.
Her son had not returned home and has not shown up to work for nearly a month. If Chen Hao did not give her an occasional call, Mother Chen would surely report him as a missing person.
Of course, Mother Chen would blame Li Qin Yao for Chen Hao's sudden change of attitude. Who else would influence the change in Chen Hao if it was not Li Qin Yao?
Mother Chen stepped forward to Li Qin Yao in anger, but before she could reach her, someone had pulled her back. Mother Chen turned around and her eyes widened as she saw a strange woman before her.
”What are you trying to do to my daughter?” Xu Yilan asked before Mother Chen could utter a word.
”Ma,” Li Qin Yao was shocked upon seeing her mother. ”What are you doing here?
Xu Yilan walked over to her daughter. The fierceness in her gaze while facing Mother Chen dissipated. ”Didn't you said you're going to the airport later? I wanted to send you off.” She gave her daughter a look over and frowned. ”Are you alright?”
Li Qin Yao nodded.
”This crazy woman,” Mother Chen spoke up. ”Who are you? Why are you interrupting our business?”
”Mrs. Chen, right? Before you bully my daughter, you need to face me first.” Xu Yilan crossed her arms on her chest. ”I heard from my daughter that she had already broken up with your son. Why are you causing a scene here? Let me tell you. Even if your son comes back and begs my Qin Yao to be with him, I won't agree. You said my daughter was not suitable for your son? Well, you're right. Your son who was not worthy of my daughter!”
Xu Yilan had naturally heard about her daughter's breakup with Chen Hao. During Han Yue Xiu's stay with her, that girl had told her some details that her daughter refused to tell. Xu Yilan naturally heard the insulting words Mother Chen's said to her daughter.
Mother Chen clenched her hand on her purse. She wanted to retaliate, but she got scared upon meeting Xu Yilan's sharp gaze. Mother Chen turned around in anger with Tang Ai Ling behind her.
”Wait a minute, Mrs. Chen,” Li Qin Yao called out as the two walked near the exit. ”You haven't pay your bills yet.”
