"Truly sucks!" Mom threw her phone on the couch.
The aunt who was still living here while her husband was home saw my mother in surprise.
"If you're distracted, just block your son's number. Why are you trying to listen to him all the time while you know for years you've been trying to advise him but the results are nil. I told you he wouldn't starve to death, but you died of irritation." Auntie is now back to scolding my mother.
"Sandra, please block it." I sat next to him and exemplified it now. He never blocked someone's phone number apparently.
"Well, let her be Mama. Why are you so happy to trouble yourself "It's been two weeks since Mama Cheng Xin's arrival seems to be trying to see her again.
"I told him a few months ago that if there are unfavorable branches it is better to close them to reduce losses. But he was more concerned with his prestige it seemed."
"Yes let him think to himself Brother if he doesn't want to hear you."
A week after that, someone called me while I was at the restaurant. The number I didn't know I picked up to find out who called me.
"Sandra where's my Mama?!" The voice of a man, who else mentioned Mama besides Cheng Xin.
"I don't know, call him yourself, don't ask me."
"You don't pretend to be stupid, Mama won't pick up my phone because of you, ever since you were my mama!" He continued to rage making my ears to hear him.
"You blame people for your own mistakes, you don't hear Mama's words, Mama's suggestions for improving your business, if you don't want to hear it do you think Mama will hear you? You're funny, you blame everyone for your own mistakes. The one who owns your business but has to be the one who bears your imprudence!" I'm turning Cheng Xin back now
"Don't you know!"
"As for you, I have nothing to do with you. Mama's with Auntie Su, call Auntie herself. Don't call me again!"
And you can guess next. The aunt who turned to scold him. And she had absolutely no connection to Mama. Auntie who called me her own story. It seems that Cheng Xin is dizzy right now.
The other night he called me again. I just want to turn off the phone. A few days later, he tried to call me. This time at 11 p.m
"What else!?"
"Give my phone to Mama!" It's nothing he's snapped at me.
"Just your wife's body, her Himalayan Birkin, which she brought to my front, was 300,000 - 400,000 dollars at least, just sell two of your wife's bags and your problems are over. You always ask for that amount not every six months." I imagined my sister-in-law going berserk due to the pride treasure at her husband's auction. That must be very funny.
Himalaya Birkin (this rare crocodile leather bag costs USD 300-400K second)
ππππ
"You don't have to teach me! My wife's bag is none of your business. Get me Mama!"
"Jeez, I'll just block your number. Angry nights don't know a place. I'm going to bed. Yea...." I'm actually blocking the number right now. Lazy to hear his chatter.
"Sandra!" I could still hear her scream before I hung up and blocked her. Getting ready to sleep, there's a tourist troupe pretty much tomorrow morning, I should be at the restaurant helping.
A few days running as usual, Mama and Auntie have been here for about 3 weeks. That's mostly spent in Shenzhen, because Mama still has a network of textile wholesale stores there, although each has been managed by a manager who trusted by him, Shenzhen and Hong Kong is only 40km away, although each has been managed by a manager who trusted by him, Shenzhen and Hong Kong is only 40km away, only half an hour by car, in western Hong Kong, and Shenzhen is famous as the largest international textile trading center in China. He has a lot of friends there.
A few days walk normally. I don't care about Cheng Xin anymore. Suddenly in the afternoon, out of nowhere the wind blew it, Cheng Xin and her father came to my restaurant in Wan Chai. I thought I saw it wrong but it was them.
"Where's Mama?"
"Mama in Shenzhen takes care of her work, where maybe she's here. I told you to call Auntie Su."
He then looked at my restaurant which was full at lunchtime.
"Many of your places."
"Not as big as your restaurant." I'm really lazy to see them here. He brought his father, what he wanted.
"You want to eat?" For the sake of politeness I offered them.
"No, we're just eating out." It's up to you guys. They just disappeared from in front of me and I called Mama right now.
"Mama, you know your husband showed up at the restaurant together with Cheng Xin." Just get to the core of the issue.
"Show up at your restaurant?! You're kidding." You don't trust me the same now.
"They just left. I offered to eat but they wouldn't. What do you want me to do now? Your son really chased your money all the way here, Mama.
"Why did they get to your restaurant? What do they want? With dad?"
"What do you think Mama?"
"Sandra did you see other people around Cheng Xin's father?" Mom asked in a worried voice.
"I didn't notice, I thought nothing, just the two of them why Mama? Are you worried about something?" What has to do with the threat that Cheng Xin's father ever made. I'm thinking now.
"I wonder why he got there. He has threatened you. Have they gone."
"Yes they're gone." My mother's words scare me enough now.
"Sandra, you promise Mama, you have to be careful from now on. Mom will try to arrange something. Cheng Xin's father came to your place, this is very suspicious, rather this is worrying. Mama's got a dinner invitation from Mama's colleague, just got back a little night with your aunt okay, you have to be careful. Mama hang up the phone."
Mama hangs up on him, what does Mama mean, she's gonna arrange something? Because I'm busy enough I can't think about it anymore.
It was late in the evening when Ko Derrick called me.
"Cococo? Tumben you called?"
"You okay?"
"I'm all right? Of course I'm okay, why me?" I was asked if I was okay.
"Boss Philip on your Mama's phone, he paid a special escort but he didn't want to be seen by others, instead asking for an A-grade bodyguard to escort you. Did something happen?" So this is what Mama means she's gonna do something.
"So this is the story..." I told Mama who was refusing to provide financial assistance to Cheng Xin, and Cheng Xin's father's previous threats. Until suddenly today Cheng Xin's father appeared.
"Sandra, you really have to be careful. Cheng Xin's father was a military man, he must have had a dangerous military man link. His family also had a huge financial source, and the number of Ping An shares your mother held was not a playful amount. She must have taken into account her husband's behavior, she put two A-grade bodyguards next to you. It is being prepared immediately. I'll call your mom right now..."
"Hhhh wait, Koko ma..." He decided his phone first. Can't she tell me first what's on her mind. Finally I had to wait, since her phone was already in waiting mode, she was already connected to my mother.
