Qiao Nan loosened her grip on Zhai Hua's hand and leaned back. "You're very clear what kind of person my mom is. People are vain. We only know to value what we don't have. Auntie Miao is a good mother, but she has lost herself because of Chief Zhai. When I look at your family of four and the happy days that all of you can have, and how your family has ended up to be, I feel sad and find that it is such a pity."
Zhai Hua turned silent at Qiao Nan's words. She was lost for words.
In the past, she never felt anything wrong with the way her family members got along with one another. Zhai Sheng and she had gotten used to the fact that her mother would follow her father around and neglect her children. In retrospect, had they been too independent such that her mother felt that she was not needed, and hence could only follow her father around?
