"Your mom called last night, and again this morning..."
Mom, called?
The mother, who hadn't appeared for so many years, suddenly started showing up frequently in her life, and it took Lian Qiao a bit of time to get used to it—
Since her mom left, her aunt rarely mentioned her mother over the years, and Lian Qiao's personality wasn't inclined towards constantly bringing up those things 'that clog your heart and annoy you when spoken about'.
So, this formal mention of her mother was quite a rare occurrence.
However, she didn't say a word, as interrupting an elder mid-speech wasn't polite, she just silently waited for her aunt to continue.
Fingertips caressing the edge of the counter, her aunt didn't look at Lian Qiao, her expression seeming to ponder how to start speaking. After a long pause, she finally said something coolly.
