Nian's father couldn't bear the mention of "disfigurement" and rarely snapped back at Nian's mother, "Didn't you ask Ayou if it would leave a scar?"
"Don't scare Yuyu."
Nian's mother shot a glare over, "You think your daughter got scared?"
"She's brave enough, if I hadn't seen the news online, she'd still be keeping it from us!"
"And another thing, Zhenguo, what do you mean by that?"
"Not my daughter? I don't care for her? Only you're here playing the good guy?"
Nian's father was left speechless by the retort, just as he was trying to explain, Nian's mother launched into a series of angry rebukes.
Seeing the storm was about to come her way, Yuyu immediately suppressed the urge to complain, and using serving dishes as an excuse, she slipped out of the kitchen.
In the dining room, Chu You was wiping down the table.
"Did my mom ask you about my injury?" Yuyu placed the dishes on the table and asked in a lowered voice.
