Mrs. Lin comes out from the back hall, just has a glance of the cup pieces Aunty Zhang cleaned.
"I haven't seen her for a while, what did my daughter do? Since the cup is broken, it must be not a good thing."
Seeing Aunty Zhang is a little hesitating, Mrs. Lin doesn't ask, just let her leave. She went straightly to her daughter.
Before reaching the door of the study, Mrs. Lin raises her voice: "Linda, why did you lose your temper and throw the teacup?"
Linda is with a face of being wronged: "Mom, I didn't mean to, I fell accidentally. Why don't you ask me if I am hurt, instead of worrying about a worthless cup?"
"Look at you, aren't you well? You look all ok."
"Are you my real mother? You look like you are not caring about me." Linda purses her lips.
Mrs. Lin sees Kevin Wang also in the study, this pair of golden boy and girl, looking so eye catching. She can't help but feel the joy from the bottom of her heart.
"Kevin, you come too. You are so handsome now. You two, please continue your talk, I will prepare some fruit for you."
"Hello. Auntie!" Kevin quickly smiles and says to Mrs. Lin.
This kid's handsome, rich and polite. That's so nice. When these two kids were small, Linda chased Kevin and called him big brother, how soft and lovely she was. Now she is getting bigger and more rebellious.
Mrs. Lin motions them to continue chatting: "I'll get some fruit and come right away!"
Linda is relieved that she has not found it.
Then they two study the painting together and consider what to do.
Linda wants to use the tissue directly to suck the water dry, just taking out the tissue, but is stopped by Kevin.
"This is useless, the water stains may be more obvious."
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault. "Linda looks at his handsome face, but she couldn't help but accuse him.
She is such a drama queen, she actually pretends to cry out: "This is my mother's treasure, even I as her daughter is less important than it. And now it is destroyed, my mother will definitely cut me into pieces."
"Yes, yes, blame me, blame me." Facing her accusations, Kevin chooses to accept it all, and gives her tissue, indicating she to wipe the corners of her eyes.
He continues: "Don't worry, don't worry. I will give you a clever plan that will immediately solve the crisis."
Linda pouts her mouth: "What kind trick you plan to have, I guess you don't hold a good idea."
Kevin knows that there is a chance: "really do not want to listen, it is ok if you don't."
Linda grabs the last chance and says "OK, you tell me."
...
Mrs. Lin in the living room observing this pair of young couple, it seems that they get along with each other quite well, they have been communicating well. Although my daughter is a little wayward, it seems that the young man does not mind at all, and talks to her patiently, with a smile on his face, and obviously caring her very much. Looks like it's going to work out. Mrs. Lin is very happy for it.
"Here comes the fruit." Mrs. Lin says loudly and her face is just like a sunflower.
Hearing the sound, the young couple move away from the painting and keep their distance.
"What's wrong with you two, isn't the painting fine? Why don't you look at it now? This painting is worth a lot of money. What do you think of it?"
"Auntie, your taste is excellent, this painting is really very beautiful, the scenery is delicate and vivid, the more you look at it, the more interesting it is. I like it too. I also have a collection of paintings at home. I would like to show you some day later."
"Ha-ha, young man, good taste. It's a good idea to see the paintings together. You also know painting very well?"
"I can't say I know it well, but I also like paintings, and occasionally go to the art exhibitions, and have some humble opinions."
"Good, good. I didn't expect my son-in-law to have the same hobby as me. "
Ah, God, this just the first meeting, called him the son-in-law? so afraid of daughter no one want to marry? Linda rolls her eyes to her mother.
And this man, he knows how to lick my mother's shoes at the first meeting, what a brown-noser!
When talking about paintings, Mrs. Lin smiles, and then she goes to see her treasure, her face suddenly changes the color.
This daughter is too willful, I need to give her a lesson now, too irritating.
"Linda, have you done something to my baby? Why are there the water stains? "
"I told you that I fell and the water spattered." The further the words go, the quieter the voice becomes.
"I think you just mean it, and you don't like my baby." You're the only one at home who doesn't like my baby."
Seeing the dispute is about to start, Kevin quickly says: Auntie, I am sorry, in fact, I accidentally tripped Linda, all blame me, it is my fault. I'll compensate you for the loss. "
As soon as she hears the apology, Mrs. Lin's anger immediately disappears: "No, no, don't put it in mind, only a painting, I will buy another one to replace it."
That's enough. That's my real mother. So double-standard!!!
Linda whispers: "I don't know who takes a broken painting as a piece of treasure every day, but today it is only a painting."
"What are you talking about, talk to Kevin. " Mrs. Lin ordered Linda.
"All right. "
"I'm only 22 years old, I'm still young, I don't want a relationship, we're not fit for each other. "
"What are you talking about, honey? Kevin, don't listen to her. I'm going to break her leg. "
Kevin' eyes fall on Linda. Looking at the girl in front with casual dress, but a matchless beauty can't be covered. A little rebellious and a little cute.
He politely says to Mrs. Lin, "Auntie, can I talk to honey alone for a moment? "
Oh, my God. Do you call me honey? Who are you? That is how my family calls me.
Mrs. Lin laughs so loudly that her eyes could hardly be seen: "Good, you two go on. I'm going to see what we've got for today. Kevin, please stay for dinner."
