"How come there are so many 'buts'? Your dad is not in the country; talking to me about it is useless, isn't it? Did I make your dad leave the country?"
"But... uh..." Zong Yi stumbled, "Withdraw the but."
"Since you know about withdrawing, off you go and do whatever you need to do."
"Mommy, mommy, mommy, let's talk sense here," Zong Yi went into rap mode.
"You talk then."
"It's not your fault that Dad isn't in the country, and neither is it mine for making Dad stay abroad, Little Ayi is innocent."
"You are so grown up and still small? In what way are you innocent?" Meng Lan didn't budge at all.
After hearing this, Zong Yi touched his deflated belly and pouted.
"Don't try that tactic on me! Whoever made your dad go abroad, let them take responsibility. Why are you bothering me with it? I am irritated enough as it is!"
"I'm gonna tell my sister that you're bullying me."
"Go ahead, as if I'm scared of your sister!"
