Chapter 51

Song Ming was the next in line to suffer under her terrible mood. He was shoved aside and given a menacing glare before he even succeeded in giving her a hug. He stood in front of her pitifully like an abandoned puppy.

 " I'm aware of my beauty but don't just stand there gawking at me like that. I get shy when people stare at me. There's so much to do. You don't want to anger the customers, do you? "

 She told him off emotionlessly and went on with her dinner.

 After some time, Song Enya entered the kitchen and pulled out a chair opposite hers.

 " You're finally off the couch and said goodbye to the TV, how does it feel to be a responsible

citizen? "

 She said sipping some water from Ellen's glass. The latter frowned and glared at her before shoving a large piece of meat into her mouth.

 " How is the old mistress? Is she seriously ill? "

 Old Song chipped in while settling little Sherry on a chair.

 Ellen slammed her chopsticks on the plate and snapped, " don't even mention it! Those fools are obviously asking for a beating. "

Song Wei gulped and said hurriedly, " you do realize it's the Lis we're talking about, they're not to be trifled with. Besides, what happened? Who angered you? "

 " I'm not to be trifled with either. " Ellen declared arrogantly. " They had me waiting for hours only to tell me that the old thing doesn't want to see anyone.

 What do they take me for? That so called young mistress has a lot of guts! "

 She went on with her rantings while the rest listened speechlessly. It was better to let her vent all her anger than provoke the fierce lioness.

When she calmed down, their stiffened faces eased a little.

 " Mommy, can we take Yingzie home with us? " Sherry clenched her chopsticks and asked timidly afraid of her rejection.

 " Since when did we start bringing strangers into the house? Who is that anyway? "

 " Yingzie is a little puppy that grandpa Luo gave to big brother and I. He was unable to pay for his meal so he traded it with Yingzie. He's a little pitiful because he doesn't have someone to play with or a home since his former owner abandoned him. "

 Ellen remembered the huge German shepherd dog she had seen in the backyard and gulped. The huge thing even seemed to be glaring at her when she was passing by.

 Her piercing gaze landed on Sherry who was lying with a straight face.

 " As long as you properly inform your Ying whoever to keep his distance from me and to completely disappear from my sight whenever I'm in the house, then I'd unwillingly agree. "

 The others rolled their eyes at her inwardly with one word in their minds.

 ' Ridiculous! '

 " Yay! Yingzie is well behaved. He'll not disturb you after all, you're always asleep... "

 " Sherry!! "

 " Bye mommy!! "

 Sherry immediately leaped off her chair when she felt her mother's murderous aura. She dashed out of the kitchen at a lightning speed leaving the Songs and the rest of the waiters and chefs bursting in laughter. They always enjoyed watching the whole family's bickerings.

 " Elly, some man by the name Wu Chan is asking for you. Is he your boyfriend? He really doesn't suit you. He's so effeminate and frail... " Song Ming's head popped at the door.

 Ellen rolled her eyes. " The pot calling the kettle black. "
