Jing Hee hissed and tugged on Billi's hand. "Let's go home, I will explain everything from home."
She was well aware of the kind of temper that her daughter had. It often drove her to do impulsive things and she had no idea how Billi would react to this news. There was still a need for the old woman to be on their side so it was important not to aggravate her.
Lin Billi shrugged her hand out of her mother's and continued to stare at her grandmother expectantly.
"Say it now, what you just said to my mother I want you to say it again." she shouted frantically. "Is this what the secrecy has been all about? Why you moved into the house and started preparing an extra room?"
The elderly woman sneered again. "The older one has taught the younger one to stare at her elders like a little vicious beast and raise her voice at them. Lin Billi, I am your grandmother. You will talk to me with respect."
