"I-is it because of the thing I said about Jing Tian and my little uncle?" I probed carefully. Auntie Lan nodded seriously and solemnly. My heart pounded with sadness and regret.
Auntie Lan pulled my hand and stood up. "Let's not talk about it for now. I'm staying anyway. We'll have plenty of time to deal with them! Now, you need to accompany me to my place for dinner. We'll talk over dinner, okay?"
