When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 376

Chapter 376: Chapter 138: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (25)

What should have been a two-day journey had stretched to three with all their stops. By the time they reached the Capital City and dropped off Chi Yun’er and the others, Jiang Yihua could only shoot her a hard look. "Wait for me," he said in a hoarse voice, then turned and led his team away.

Mr. Chi had borrowed a cargo van from the hospital and was already waiting there with Mrs. Chi.

Once the convoy was gone, Chi Yun’er turned to look at her parents.

After she had been stuck in Bian Family Village, they had come down to the countryside to visit her two or three times. Each time, they looked more worn and aged than the last. But for some reason, the image of her parents in her mind was forever frozen in time—the vibrant, middle-aged couple they were before she left.

However, because of her—their willful, unfilial daughter—that short year in the countryside had been enough to sprinkle a light frost of gray upon the hair of the parents who worried about her day and night.

With tears welling in her eyes, she threw herself into Mrs. Chi’s arms, feeling her mother’s warmth and breathing in a scent that was both familiar and reassuring.

Chi Yun’er couldn’t hold back any longer and burst out wailing. It was like a dam breaking as she poured out all her pent-up grievances at once.

Her daughter’s sobs made Mrs. Chi’s heart ache. She held her tightly, patting her back again and again in a soothing rhythm. "Good girl, we’re home now. From now on, Mom and Dad are here. No one will be able to bully you, and we won’t let you suffer even the slightest hardship!"

Hearing her mother’s gentle words only made Chi Yun’er cry harder. She was like an inconsolable child, and the sheer force of her emotional outburst was frankly terrifying.

In the end, Mrs. Chi was swept along and started crying too.

Mr. Chi had originally planned on reasoning with her once he saw her. She was an adult now; she couldn’t just act on her whims. She should think before she acts and consult her parents; that way, they could always come up with the best possible solution.

But seeing his daughter sobbing herself breathless and his wife wiping away her own tears, he forgot the entire speech he had spent days mentally drafting. He just paced around the tightly embracing mother and daughter like a flustered fly.

They were at a bus station, which was easy to find. The other educated youths who had hitched a ride could find their respective buses home from here.

But compared to the spacious, clean, and comfortable van, the public buses were crowded, filthy, and reeked of a pungent odor that was almost unbearable.

The young men weren’t so particular. After saying their goodbyes to the group, they grabbed their bags and hurried off, eager to get on a bus and head home.

But the young women dallied, hoping the Chi Family would make a polite offer of a ride. Then, they could brazenly accept and continue their journey in comfort.
