BXBX NOVEL Chapter 261: Mother Has Changed
Chapter 261
A hint of disappointment flashed in Huang Duo Duo\'s eyes. If it were before, Li Man would definitely help her carry it.
Seeing Li Man walking away, Huang Duo Duo quickly followed, pulling the suitcase.
"Mom, where\'s your car?" Huang Duo Duo asked.
"I didn\'t drive here today. A friend drove me here," Li Man replied.
As they spoke, Li Man walked to Huo Jian Sheng\'s car and opened the door. "Give me the suitcase, and you get in."
Huo Jian Sheng opened the trunk, and Li Man put Huang Duo Duo\'s suitcase in it.
Huang Duo Duo looked at Huo Jian Sheng and felt a bit uneasy.
Li Man sat in the passenger seat, turned around, and said to Huang Duo Duo, "Call him Uncle Huo."
Reluctantly, Huang Duo Duo called out, "Uncle Huo."
Huo Jian Sheng had a bad impression of Huang Duo Duo and just responded with a perfunctory "Hmm" before starting the car.
"Shall I take you home now?" Huo Jian Sheng asked.
Thinking that Huo Jian Sheng hadn\'t eaten since accompanying her, Li Man said, "Are you hungry? Let\'s find a place nearby to have dinner."
Huo Jian Sheng didn\'t say anything, indicating his agreement.
It was already 8:30 in the evening, and Huo Jian Sheng was indeed hungry. They randomly found a nice-looking restaurant nearby and had their meal.
After ordering the dishes, Li Man went to settle the bill.
Huo Jian Sheng wasn\'t good at entertaining children, and combined with his unfavorable impression of Huang Duo Duo, he didn\'t say a word to her throughout the whole meal.
While eating, Huang Duo Duo occasionally glanced at Huo Jian Sheng.
In her heart, she thought, "He\'s the one who hit Dad. Dad is really pitiful!"
Huang Duo Duo sympathized with her father in her heart and deliberately ignored Huo Jian Sheng, only talking to Li Man.
The meal was finished in a very discordant atmosphere.
After the meal, Huo Jian Sheng asked Li Man, "Where should I take you?"
Huang Duo Duo quickly said, "I want to go home!"
Huo Jian Sheng ignored her and continued looking at Li Man.
Li Man didn\'t want to go back to Huang De Han\'s place, so she said, "Let\'s go to Xiao Hui\'s place."
Hearing this, Huang Duo Duo quickly said, "Mom, I don\'t want to go to Aunt Chen\'s place. Can we go home?"
"I don\'t have the keys to your home. How can we go back?" Li Man said angrily, feeling frustrated at the thought of Huang De Han changing the locks.
"I have them!"
Last time, when Li Man knocked on the door from outside, she wanted to open it for Li Man, but her father wouldn\'t allow it, so she didn\'t dare to. She knew that Li Man was still mad at her for that incident.
"Forget it, that\'s your home, not mine. If you want to go back there, I\'ll take you, but I won\'t stay." Li Man said.
She didn\'t want to accommodate her daughter anymore. Her daughter was already twelve years old and should learn to be independent.
As soon as Huang Duo Duo heard that she would be home alone, she felt unwilling. She wanted to act coquettishly and ask Li Man to accompany her. However, as soon as she met Li Man\'s stern gaze, she dared not speak.
She didn\'t know why, but she was now afraid of her mother. Her mother had changed. She wasn\'t as easy to talk to as before, and she didn\'t love her anymore.
With this realization, Huang Duo Duo suddenly felt so lost.
It was like losing something precious, and she felt empty inside.
Huang Duo Duo became a frightened bird, afraid that Li Man would really ignore her, so she reluctantly agreed to go with him to stay at Chen XiaoHui\'s place.
