Crying Without Tears

"Xiaoqi!" Ling Sheng tugged at the paper in a flurry and shouted from the washroom. "Mommy's here! Did you have a nightmare?"

"Mommy!" Upon hearing the sound of her voice, Xiaoqi dashed over and knocked hard on the door. In a hoarse voice, he shouted, "Mommy! Mommy, are you in there?"

Tears welled in Su Xiyin's eyes as she hit Huo Ci. "You scumbag! Look, this is all your fault."

Huo Ci was dumbfounded as he tried to dodge. He wanted to cry, but no tears came. He could be blamed for everything. "Mother, you're being unreasonable. I didn't do anything. What does the brat's breakdown have to do with me? Why don't you hit that brat?"

Upon seeing that he still dared to talk back, Huo Xiao hit him with his walking stick. "How is this none of your business? If you weren't brainless, my good grandchild would not have been able to wander around for so many years and suffer so much. How dare you say it's none of your business? I will beat you to death!"
