The absurdity in Chen's mother's eyes lasted for a moment before she gradually came to her senses and began to brew her anger again.
For someone who has already dismissed psychological consultation and even defined it as "a scam to make money," Nan Zhubin's comment "you need consultation" felt extremely offensive.
However, before Chen's mother's emotions fully brewed, Chen Ting spoke up first.
"Mom." The little girl's voice was still muffled, "I have something I want to say to you."
"Right now, here."
Chen's mother's attention was once again diverted by her daughter, and the anger she had built up towards Nan Zhubin was instantly cleared.
She took a few deep breaths, almost defiantly throwing herself onto the sofa.
Yet, she still managed to maintain a rather graceful posture.
"Fine, I'll listen to what on earth you want to say, and why you skipped school to come here by yourself."
[Leaving school without classes in college is not considered skipping school.]
