He grunted. "Where is Grandfather?"
"He went to Country M today." Ming Ansheng's mother knew that he was livid. Worried, she asked, "Why?"
Ming Ansheng ignored his mother's question and asked, "Why did he go to Country M?"
His mother quipped, "He had something to settle in N City."
She sounded as if she was unaware as well. Ming Ansheng stopped asking and said, "I'm hanging up."
His mother interjected quickly. "Where is Su Yue?"
Ming Ansheng replied, "She went home today."
"I wanted to send her some chicken soup tomorrow morning." She sounded rather disappointed.
During the days when Su Yue stayed over, his mother came to visit them once. She cooked and they had a wonderful day together.
When he came home that night, Su Yue rattled on about how awesome and great his mother was. She even repeatedly praised her cooking.
