“Idol, would you like to drink boba tea?” An Xiulan asked as she batted her eyelashes at him acting cute. Her idol liked boba tea a lot. She read it through the articles on him on the internet.

When Lu Xuan said that she was an Internet-addicted girl, he was not kidding. She stalked all kinds of handsome idols on the Internet.historical

“Of course, if my little fan will bring me poison, I will still drink it with a smile on my face, ” Lu Mingze replied with a smile as he looked at her face. He winked at Lu Xuan as An Xiulan ran inside to bring him the tea.

“Lu Xuan, your sister is my fan, ” Lu Mingze grinned as he looked at the hostile boy. “When are you joining my fandom?”

“Like never?” Lu Xuan replied with a sarcastic smile.

“Xiulan, where are you going?” Lu Zhaolin asked as he looked at his daughter who was holding a boba tea cup.

“Father, Idol wants to drink boba tea, ” An Xiulan said with a sweet smile._.

“Oh really?” Lu Zhaolin said. “Lu Xun has been crying for his Jiejie. I thought you had time for playing with your younger sister who seemed to love his Jiejie a lot.”

“Is that the case?” An Xiulan asked in a worried tone.

Lu Zhaolin nodded his head innocently.

“Then, father, will you pass the boba to my Idol?” An Xiulan looked at him and asked hopefully.

“Of course, ” Lu Zhaolin immediately said.

An Xiulan reluctantly handed him the boba tea and walked to Xiaobao’s nursery.

Lu Zhaolin watched his daughter walking to his son’s nursery with a smile on his face. He took out the straw of the drink that he was holding and took a sip. Hmm. It was delicious. He felt someone lightly tapping his shoulder. As he looked around, he saw his wife standing there with arms crossed over her chest and narrowing her eyes at him.

“Zhaolin, what are you? A kid?” Song Yifei scolded him.

Lu Zhaolin cleared his throat, embarrassed. “That boy has questionable attitude and habits. He is not going to have a good effect on our Xiulan. What if she leaves her studies and begins chasing stars and idols?”

“She is a little girl. Each girl has a crush on idols and stars at this age, ” Song Yifei told him. “When I was her age, my bedroom wall was filled with the stickers of idols and boy bands. This is a phase of every girl’s life. It will pass. But for now, let her enjoy this phase of her life.”

“Whatever, “Lu Zhaolin muttered while walking out of there sipping on the Boba tea.

“Here, take this, ” The old woman passed the paper to the girl who was playing with the baby in her arms. An Xiulan raised her eyes to look at her grandmother who was handing her the piece of paper with attitude. She quietly took and quickly skimmed through it.

“Madam Lu, the spelling of sorry is missing, ” An Xiulan said.

“What did you say?” The old lady said in a loud voice that made her flinch.

“I think you forgot to add sorry in the letter, ” An Xiulan said, holding back her irrational fear of the old woman.

“Why should I add sorry? Most importantly, why should I be saying sorry to you? I did nothing wrong, ” The old woman said with a huff. She was not going to admit that she did something wrong. She only scolded a brat. What was the big deal about it?

“This is an apology letter, ” An Xiulan said in a polite tone. “If you are not sincere enough then there is no point in wasting ink and paper for writing something so insincere. You could have just said that you did nothing wrong and I would have gone back to my home. It was not a big deal.”

“Gone home? Are you threatening me?” Old Madam Lu asked. “Who are you showing these big eyes? Do you think I can’t pull this long tongue of yours that works too much? If I had authority over you, I would have straightened a twisted child like you years ago. You are my grandchild and so I don’t hit you or else a brat like you had long become a good girl.”

“You are not my grandmother, ” An Xiulan whispered. “I refused to acknowledge someone like you as my grandmother.”

An Xiulan didn’t know what happened and why she spoke those words? It was like she didn’t have any control over her tongue. She said those words instinctively.

The old woman’s eyes widened as she glanced at the girl. “How dare you?! You think you have a right to not acknowledge me as your grandmother?! If I didn’t fight over your custody, I wouldn’t be Deng Chuan! Now I will bring you to this house like your wild mother took away my Ah Xuan and teach you how to be a good girl. You shall remember me in your wildest dreams that Deng Chaun gave you the piece of mind.”

“Mom!” Song Yifei appeared there as Lu Xun began crying, feeling the hostile atmosphere inside the room. “Let’s go out.”

“Song Yifei, don’t cross your limits or I will send you back to your Song family, “Old Madam Lu boomed in anger.

Song Yifei grabbed the old woman’s hand and brought her out of the nursery. “Mom, you are scaring the children.”

“I am scaring the children? Or you are taking the side of the witch’s spawn?” Old Madam Lu snarled. “Song Yifei, I told you many times that if you don’t remain within your limits, I will throw you out of my Lu family.”

“Then, please do, ” Song Yifei said in a loud and firm voice. It was for the first time she had raised their voice. “Please send me to the Song family. I won’t question your decision. You can live here with your son. I will return to the Song family. My brother still loved me enough to take me in. But mom, once I leave I won’t return. I will take my son with me. Xiaobao and I will never return. “

A/N: More than anything I’m scared of family fights. I remember a month ago my teenage sister and my mom has a big fight over something stupid. I’m not that sensitive girl. But when they began elongating the fight over such a stupid reason, I began crying. Mind you, I never cry. My cousin-slash- beauty got married, I didn’t get a single tear. Lol

Moral of the ranting; Family moments are not always fluffy, its real angst. When they say break up hits the most, show them the biggest family fight that always result in more broken heart.
