Both parties fell into a silence, eyes locked on each other's, an awkward eye-staring contest ensued.
Mi Shen unconsciously stood up straight, handed the bag she was carrying to the approaching Aunt Zhang, and then nervously rubbed her hands together as she walked over.
As she looked at Shen Meizhi, the other woman was meticulously sizing her up as well, from head to toe.
"You are Mi Shen?" After a thorough once-over, Shen Meizhi was the one to break the awkward silence between them.
"Yes, I am." Mi Shen nodded and stood up straight.
Shen Meizhi's lips curled into a faint smile, "Do you know who I am?"
"You're Li Fengchang's mother."
"Then why don't you call me?"
"..." Mi Shen pursed her lips. If it had been before, she would have called her without hesitating, but now...
Her relationship with Fengchang didn't allow her to do so.
