Rock Sugar And Pear Stew | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 48

Lisa bustled over to the practice venue after returning from the airport. When she stepped inside, she immediately saw Tzuyu and and a few others chatting and resting at the side instead of training.

"Make way, make way. I, farmer of impeccable class, am back again" Lisa said.

They did not understand why Lisa addressed herself as a farmer. When she saw Lisa, Tzuyu first rolled her eyes before saying, "Long legs, your mom is here to find you".

"Ah?" Lisa was startled.

"She is in the lounge waiting for you". From the start to the end of their conversation Tzuyu spoke in a curt manner. She turned back to continue her conversation with the rest.

Lisa could not believe that her mother was actually able to come down and visit her. Her mother was a paediatrician who was extremely busy with work every day. This was to the point that she had slightly neglected Lisa's upbringing in the past and Principal Manoban was the one who played a large role in raising Lisa instead. So what exactly happened? Could it be that her mother, after some reflection, had finally remembered that she still had a daughter?

Whoo!

She was so touched!

Lisa sprang over to the lounge in excitement. She pushed open the door and before she even saw anyone, shouted out loud, "Mom, you're finally here!"

When she went in and saw the person inside, she was stumped. "Eh...." Her mom did not look like this....

Mrs. Choi had wondered how her first meeting with Lisa would be like. No matter how hostile or weird it would be, it did not matter to her. It was impossible for their meeting to proceed warmly. However. she never expected the girl to immediately address her as "mom" at first sight.

What a lack of propriety!

Mrs. Choi's face twisted into a scowl, the two corners of her lips turned down firmly. This made her originally sagging cheeks become even more obvious, causing her to appear rather dour. Her outrage emphasized the pallor of her overly pale skin and she looked like the female ghosts seen on television.

Lisa was shocked by her appearance. She could understand the stranger's outrage as the way she addressed the strange implied that she was old. All women were mindful of their age. When Lisa went out with her mother, she also had to humour her by ignoring her conscience and saying, "Look, everyone thinks that we're sisters". Her father, on the other hand, was a little denser. Once after hearing Lisa said this when the three of them were out on an excursion, her retorted, "Then doesn't this mean that your 'mother' had her second child at the age of fifty?" The consequence of her father's offhand remark was being hammered by her mother till....Well, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk....

Lisa reined in her train of thoughts and gave a slight bow to the stranger. "I'm sorry, older sister. I mistook you for someone else".

"Who is your older sister?" Mrs. Choi became even more annoyed.

Lisa sensed that the lady was still extremely irritated. She apologized again and turned, intending to scamper out of the room. She thought that her mother must have been unable to wait patiently in the lounge and went out.

Behind her, the lady suddenly called out her name.

"Lisa Manoban".

Surprised, Lisa turned back to look at her. "You, you know me?"

"Mm" Mrs. Choi collected her expression and nodded slightly. "I came here specifically to find you".

Lisa clapped a hand to her head, realizing what had happened. It was impossible for her mom to visit her. The Person Tzuyu referred to should be this lady.
