Innocence 62

"What have you got to base your word on?! How are you going to back your promise? Do you know how terrible her monthly exam results were?!"

My mother suddenly waved her hand. "I'm not going to talk about this! Yin Xiachun, let me ask you, where have you been for the past two days?! Do you know that your father and I were so worried we made a police report? We haven't been to work for the past two days, and Dongyu hasn't been going to school either. We've been looking for you everywhere. Are you messing around with us?"

I didn't dare squeak. I didn't know how to explain it.

Su Qi suddenly burst out, "She… she was at my house yesterday."

Startled, I glared at him. "Su Qi, don't talk nonsense!"

My mother was even more surprised, her expression clouded over. "What did you say?"

"Auntie, Xiachun was with me the last two days, but don't worry…"

Before Su Qi could finish, my mother, unable to control herself, stepped forward and slapped me.
