Mrs. Mo looked surprised, "What?"
Uncle Leo: "Well Miss Xi is...."
Yu Chen immediately remembered the incident from before they had left. She said, "Uncle Leo, is she angry?"
Uncle Leo nodded her head, "Yes. Very angry. Even Mr. Huo could not coax her and she yelled at him."
Mrs. Mo was surprised, "Why is Xi Hua so angry?"
Yu Chen led her to the living room as she said, "I'll explain."
Yu Chen had explained everything by the time she entered the living room with Mrs. Mo.
Mrs. Mo tapped her head, "You're really too naughty."
Yu Chen smiled and giggled like a little kid.
As they entered, Yu Chen saw Xi Hua sitting on the sofa, her hands crossed and eyes staring forward. Huo Zenghai was beside her, but he dare not say a word as sneaked fearful glances at her. Si Xia was sitting on another sofa looking completely unbothered. Mr. Mo, though looking a little uncomfortable, continued his conversation with Si Xia.
Mrs. Mo coughed lightly to announce her presence. The four people in the room looked at Yu Chen and Mrs. Mo.
Xi Hua opened her mouth to say something, but Mrs. Mo beat her to it.
Mrs. Mo: "Oh look at you both. How much you've changed! Huo Zenghai, you look quite handsome. And Xi Hua, oh Xi Hua. You're looking so beautiful today that I would think you were trying to steal my thunder, if I didn't know better."
Mrs. Mo showered the two with compliments as she sat down.
Xi Hua, was a little embarrassed as she said, "Thank you Mrs. Mo. Your qipao is really beautiful. It compliments your aura."
Mrs. Mo waved her hands, "Oh don't flatter me. By the way, I love what you've done with your hair! Do you think you could style mine someday."
Yu Chen stiffled a laugh as Xi Hua stammered, "Well.....yes....I-I would love to."
Si Xia looked at Yu Chen, and she pressed a finger to her lips.
But this action was caught by Xi Hua, who said, "Yu Chen! You are even taking help from Mrs. Mo. You little devil!"
Yu Chen let out a guilty smile as Mrs. Mo mumbled, "Caught."
Yu Chen went and sat beside Hua as she said, "Oh come on Hua, it was just a little joke. And your hair looks flawless."
Xi Hua sat staring ahead, her face expressionless.
Yu Chen: "Come on. How about I will make you lunch tomorrow?"
Xi Hua's lips twitched and Chen could tell that she was coming around. Yu Chen made a last attempt, "How about.... I'll let you style me the next time we go to a formal function."
Xi Hua looked at Chen, "Really?"
Yu Chen nodded her head like a chicken, "Promise."
Xi Hua let out a smile, "Fine then."
Mrs. Mo clapped her hands, "Now that you two have made up, let's go eat."
The six of them stood up and headed towards the dining room.
The dinner was good and Yu Chen enjoyed herself very much. Though she could not help feeling a little guilty every time she looked at the empty chair beside Mr. Mo, which belonged to Mo Kio.
But she did not have much time to feel guilty, as everyone wanted to hear about her time in London.
