"Mom, how did it go with uncle this afternoon?"
Anxious about this, Zhu Qianying was deliberately watching a movie online in the living room to wait for her mom and ask about the result.
From Chen Jing's expression, the outcome could not be discerned.
"It remains the same..."
Chen Jing's tone was calm, quite different from her previous devastated reaction.
"Mom, are you okay?" Zhu Qianying was worried her mother was suppressing her feelings to the point of internal injury.
Chen Jing looked back at her, innocent-faced, and asked, "What could be wrong with me?"
Seeing Zhu Qianying still frowning, she quickly comforted her.
"Don't worry, I'm prepared. If it doesn't work once, I'll try twice, or three times if need be. One of these times, my elder brother will open the door for me."
Zhu Qianying scrutinized Chen Jing's face for a while, confirming that she was really okay before helping her up to the bathroom for a shower.
