Luckily for Aang Jiang, the elevator reached the bottom at that moment and opened for her to escape. How could Gu Miao and the boy let her escape so easily. They immediately chased after her but lost her in the drink section of the mall.
Pow! Gu Miao punched her brother' shoulder and glared at him. This dump brother of hers had destroyed her plan to stay with their mother.
The boy kept his head down whiles clutching his hit shoulder. So, it really wasn't a dream. He really saw his mother. Wow! Mommy was more beautiful in person than the picture of her at home. So, it really was true that mommy doesn't know they exist.
"Ugh, brother why did you come. I was going to bring her home. Now you've spoilt my plans." Gu Miao growled at her brother.
The boy raised his head to meet Gu Miao's eyes. Was this sister of his seriously blaming him. She was the selfish one hiding the fact that she found their mother. How dare she speak.
"Gu Miao were you really planning on bringing her home?" the little boy asked.
Gu Miao flinched. She didn't remember she had another family when she met her mother. She would have remembered eventually! She just wanted to spend time with mommy. "I was eventually going to..." Gu Miao's voice decreased as she saw her brother's angry expression.
"Eventually going to? Such kind words you use to describe your selfish thinking. Did you think I would never find you?" the boy said while suppressing his anger.
How can her brother say such a thing? She just wanted to spend a month or two with their mother alone. How was that being selfish?
The boy was grimacing on the fact he saw his mother for only a short while and couldn't even get the chance to speak to her.
"Hey. You are just saying that because it wasn't you. If you were in my position, you would have covered all your tracks forever." Gu Miao accused her brother.
"How can you say such a thing? I would have eventually brought her home." the boy said in defense. Gu Miao put her hands on her waist. "Oh, really." she teased. The boy blushed at his own selfish thoughts in embarrassment.
Gu Miao laughed at her brother who was feeling embarrassed. Her brother could never win an argument against her.
"You dare to set your brother up. Just wait till I catch you." the boy said as he chased after Gu Miao. A wild goose chase began in the mall. The siblings were enjoying themselves, completely forgetting they fought a while ago.
BAM! Gu Miao clashed into a woman making the jewelry in her hand smash to the ground. "Ow! Sorry", Gu Miao said as she rubbed her forehead. The boy rushed forward to help his sister from the floor.
"Hey, brats. Where do you think you are going. Where are your parents? Let them come out to pay for the smashed jewelry." the woman said to the siblings. "Our parents are not here. But don't worry I will pay for the smashed jewelry." The boy said responsibly.
"Are you kidding me. Do you think this jewelry is something you can afford? Call your parents here right now." the woman said.
"Like I said a few seconds ago, our parents are not here with us. Is it that you have hearing problem, or you just want to feign ignorance. Maybe, you should have your ears checked, and while you are at it, I think a brain check wouldn't be bad." the boy said sarcastically. The woman was literally looking down on them, and he wasn't letting that continue.
"But I will pay, so you can actually go to the hospital." he continued. The woman's face flushed in anger. She raised her hand to deliver a slap to the boy's face, but it never landed. The Gu siblings and the woman looked at the newcomer. Each having different emotions circling in their eyes.
"Who are you?" the woman asked the person holding her hand in midair. The person released her hand and turned as if searching for jewelry. The woman turned to the intruder with a dark expression.
This person was not even wearing any fancy clothes to show status. How dare she interrupt her and act as though she did nothing. "Miss, is there a problem?" the woman said to the person.
Aang Jiang looked at the woman speaking to her wearing the staff uniform. Then she stared at smashed jewelry before turning to the jewelry she found on display. "Call me your manager" Aang Jiang said to the woman.
"We can't just call our manager whenever a customer requires. Please tell me your problem and if I can resolve it I will. If not, I will retail to the manager." the woman said as per work ethics.
Aang Jiang looked at the woman once again. "Was there water in my mouth? I said call me your manger if you do not want me to tell everyone in this store what a thief you are." she threatened. Gu Miao and her brother had sparkles in their eyes. Mommy was so cool. She shut the mean woman with a few words.
The woman's face paled as she scurried to call the manager. That woman was so scary just now, as if she was announcing her judgment of death, the staff thought.
