Silence hung at the dining table as the four Li family members ate their dinner. Except for the clattering of chopsticks and bowls, nothing else could be heard inside the dining room.
Yi Jie looked at Li Diu with a questioning look who shook his head signing that he doesn't know anything. So she could only pull her husband's sleeve and point towards her daughter.
General Li glanced at his daughter who was stuffing the food inside her mouth while sulking. He pursued his lips and then patted his wife's hand to comfort her as her face was full of worry.
Clearing his throat, General Li picked a plate and served something on Li Rui's plate.
"Rui, see this is your favorite. Father specially asked the cook to make it for you."
But Li Rui didn't raise her head. She didn't even pick anything her father served her.
