' hold on, is that....could that be the reason why he caused such a scene? No way...'
"What are you talking about? I'm not tired at all. Let's go back".
"You were yawning and you looked like you were about to pass out at any minute. You should stay here and rest a little bit. I'm going out".
"I...."
He didn't stay any longer to listen to any other thing I had to say. He went into to walk-in closet wore a new set of clothes and left the room.
"What was that? What is wrong with him?"
I couldn't understand why he acted like he cared and didn't care at the same time. It was infuriating. Since I got the opportunity to sleep a little bit, I decided to take it gladly.
When Lu Jinho got downstairs, everyone was still there and Quin Li didn't look happy at all. He ignored all of their expressions and began walking out.
"I'm heading out, don't knock on the door to my room".
He said this still walking out.
"Stop right there".
Quin Li stood up and walked towards him. When she got to where he was standing, she didn't say anything but kept looking at him. His expression was cold but it looked like he was asking 'what do you want' with his eyes.
Quin Li raised her hand and tried to slap him but he held her without any effort.
"What are you trying to do?"
"What does it look like?"
"Aunty Quin..."
He said and bent toward her ears since she was way shorter than him.
"You should know your limits".
After saying this, he let go of her hand and walked out of the house.
Quin Li was furious and irritated, she immediately walked out of the living room, went to the bathroom, and began washing her hand so vigorously it looked like blood would come out anytime soon.
Li Sina who was sitting close to grandma was the only one enjoying the show. She knew Lu Jinho didn't really care about anyone in his family except grandma but she didn't care. As a matter of fact, she liked it because she felt he was real.
"Aishhh, why did it have to finish so soon?"
"Li Sina! Watch your tongue".
"Why? Your not my mother".
She said and stood up from where she was sitting in an attempt to leave but then she turned around to look at the woman who spoke earlier.
"Ahhh and aunty Meng? In case you haven't noticed, I've already been disowned by my mother. I know you only said what you said because you are her friend and you feel you are responsible for me but not anymore since she is obviously not my mother. Haaaa, all I'm trying to say is...."
She began walking close to aunty Meng.
"Mind...your...business".
After this, she smiled and kissed her grandmother's cheek, and left. Grandma Lu was disappointed as well as she was sad but she didn't know what to do so she remained silent.
I woke up the next morning. I didn't know I was that tired but it appears I was after all. When I woke up, I looked all around the room but Lu Jinho wasn't there I didn't know why I was feeling disappointed but I quickly shoved the thought away.
When I came downstairs, I saw only Li Sina and uncle Lu Jung Min at the dining table.
"Good morning".
Li Sina said and uncle Lu turned around so I bowed to show my respect.
"Hello Shin Suri, join us".
I sat with them at the table and though it was just the two of them, the table felt much more comfortable than when everyone else was on it.
"Where is everyone?"
Li Sina tilted her head and raised her shoulder indicating that she had no idea while uncle Lu just continued eating his food.
"Uhhh, did something else happen yesterday?"
"Mmmh, your boyfriend annoyed Quin Li so this house is going to be uncomfortable for the next two days till we all leave".
"Yeah, about that, I'm sorry we left the meeting just like that".
"That's not why the house is uncomfortable".
"Huh?"
"Mrs. Quin wanted to slap him and he held her hand. Haha, she must have felt so humiliated. She hasn't come out of her room since yesterday".
I looked at her and she looked quite happy making fun of her own mother. Though I've never had a mom and even if I did, I don't remember. But I was certain that this was not a normal mother-daughter relationship.
'I guess their relationship is really that bad'.
"Shin Suri!"
Uncle Lu said, bring me back to my senses.
"Huh?"
"Hurry and eat your food before it gets cold".
I nodded and began eating but then, I thought about something.
"What about Lu Jinho, where is he?"
"No one knows, he didn't come back home yesterday".
