Jie Jingchen returned to his room and wasn't surprised at all to see his mother there. "Mom, it's late. You should go back and get some rest."
Mrs. Xie said nothing, simply rising to her feet and leaving.
Jie Jingchen closed the door and locked it. Qin Mei stood by the window, watching Mrs. Xie's departing figure. "Jie Jingchen, your mom is in a really bad mood."
'After everything that's happened, it would be a miracle if she were in a good mood. Zhang Hongying disappointed her, and she feels she has wronged Zhang Hongyan. The debt of having her life saved is suffocating her. It's easy to repay money, but a debt of gratitude is hard to settle, especially when Zhang Hongyan sacrificed her life for her.'
"I'm not in a good mood either." Jie Jingchen hugged Qin Mei from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.
