Chapter 1290: Chapter 1281: Downturn (Part 5)
The world turned into a vast expanse of white again. Because they had been waiting for so long, the wheels here also sank into the snowdrifts. From the car window, it could be seen that a small section of the wheel was already buried under the snow. Here, it was brightly lit, just when the Spring Festival Gala was being broadcast inside, creating a lively scene.
When she was little, even though she lived overseas and attended a white school, there were also classmates from China. Her father always celebrated Christmas and the Little New Year with them, but never the Lunar New Year. At that time, Sicily would not give special holidays for the Chinese, so they all had to go to school.
The family did not celebrate the festival, but those children were all dressed in red and green, full of joy. There were new clothes, delicious food, and red envelopes, and she had heard of something called the "Spring Festival Gala" from that distant China.
Although her father didn’t celebrate with them, when she returned, she also wanted to watch TV. As long as she finished her homework and dance practice, her mom wouldn’t stop her from watching TV.
So, she too would sit on a small stool, watching TV excitedly. She understood that in China, the experience of "celebrating the New Year" was more grand than Christmas, a spiritual totem for the entire nation of China.
Similarly, the New Year signified a "family reunion." But her father wasn’t there; he had gone back. However, it was okay because her father would still visit often and continue to adore his beloved her.
But only today did she feel that this New Year was so ironic. From now on, she never wanted to watch any gala again. Even if she did, she would watch it with her most dear and favorite people, never wanting to be left alone.
Then, the servant who had just opened the door was not empty-handed. He was holding a bag, and after throwing it away, he turned back inside and closed the door.
The world fell silent, isolating the noise inside, which made her feel a little more comfortable compared to the previous clamor. What she hated was the fact that her good eyesight caused her to see that what the servant threw away was the gift her mother had thoughtfully chosen!
Though not very expensive, it was a gesture of goodwill. These people, trampling on the goodwill of her and her mother, what sort of creatures were they!
Xia Siyu had grown up spoiled and unrestrained under the protection of her parents, never having been belittled. At that moment, she was so furious she wished she could jump out of the car, rush inside, beat those bastards, and set the house on fire!
However, her mom beside her unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the car door. Xia Siyu thought her mom was going to hit them. In fact, Wen Qunxiao wasn’t someone who easily endured things; she was particularly strict when educating her, hitting her palm when she misbehaved. So was she going to fight? To make all those who looked down on them pay the price!
However.
Just as she was about to get out of the car, she noticed her mom didn’t rush to the door but instead turned to the driver’s seat and started the car.
Feeling puzzled yet still angry, she said, "Mom, they went too far, we..."
Before she could finish, the car phone rang; it was her father calling. But her mom ignored it, got into the driver’s seat, buckled her seatbelt, started the car, and sped away.
