Daddy! Come Home for Dinner! - Chapter 556
Chapter 556: Chapter 556: Falsely Recognizing a Daughter
“When someone kindly lends materials to the competitors, you said she’s pretentious. When she doesn’t, you call her mean. You’re full of criticism.” The young girl was blunt.
But she just couldn’t hold it back any more.
“If it were just some occasional comments, I wouldn’t say anything, I don’t want to cause trouble for myself. But I’ve sat here for six hours, and you’ve spent six hours bad-mouthing Cindy Clarke. I’ve heard so much I’m practically deaf.”
“I just want to watch the Competition in peace, can’t you just remain quiet? If you need to gossip, do it privately with your husband on his mobile phone. Why disturb others?”
“Who do you think you are!” Christy Xenos shouted, “I’m talking about Cindy Clarke, it’s none of your business. And I’m not cursing you! Why are you meddling in other people’s affairs!”
“Why are you shouting so loudly? Trying to prove that you have a loud voice?” The person sitting on the other side of Christy Xenos and Joshua Clarke also couldn’t hold it back, “I’ve put up with you for some time. I can’t hear the competitors clearly during a perfectly good competition, all because of your incessant babbling”.
Additionally, this man, Joshua Clarke, was a pushover.
He thought that everything his wife said was right, totally devoid of any opinion of his own, it was truly nauseating.
“What’s it to you!” Christy Xenos retorted angrily, “Cindy Clarke is my daughter! I’ll talk about her as I please. Are you also going to interfere in how we handle our own daughter now?”
“If my daughter’s actions are not right, can’t I, as a mother, discuss it? You’re all so busybody, but you can’t interfere in our family matters!” Christy Xenos raised her voice.
“You’re Cindy Clarke’s mother?” The person suspected it when he heard Christy Xenos talking during the competition.
But when he heard it from Christy Xenos herself, he was astounded: “What type of mother looks down on her own daughter this way!”
“If your daughter were truly undutiful, I would understand if you found fault in her. But go and ask, who doesn’t think Cindy Clarke is excellent? You’re complaining even about this, are you really a mother?”
“That’s none of your business! Don’t I know more about her than you do?” Christy Xenos shrieked, “You’re an outsider, you’re just meddling in other people’s private affairs, it’s like you’re trying to find fault with something.”
“With the time you have to spare, go discipline your own family!” Christy Xenos glared at the person, and said nastily, “Is it because you can’t have your own children, so you’re envious when you see others disciplining their daughters!”
“You… you…” The person’s face turned red with rage at Christy Xenos’s words, “Why is your mouth so nasty!”
“How am I being nasty? Did I curse at you? Did I use any foul language?” Christy Xenos gestured with her big hand, “Everyone, judge for yourselves. I didn’t say anything, yet they started to meddle in how we discipline our daughter. Who’s the one being outrageous here!”
“Am I being wronged here? Am I being wronged here for merely discussing my own daughter! How is it upsetting to others? Is it because you hear my foreign accent, you are bullying me? Or is it because I’m old?” Christy Xenos shouted, sounding as if she was about to cry.
People were genuinely afraid that she might break down and cry on the spot.
“Are you all bullying me because I’m old and don’t know anyone here?” Christy Xenos yelled with all her might.
The person’s face turned pale, then green, his scalp tingling.
Christy Xenos was blocking the way, and people behind her couldn’t move.
Someone said: “Alright, let’s just move on.”
Why bother provoking this shrew?
The person also felt ashamed, thinking, how could she behave in such a shrewish manner!
Joshua Clarke hurriedly said to Christy Xenos: “Let’s not argue here, what if we’re late and Cindy has left?”
Christy Xenos originally wanted to continue arguing, as she felt unsatisfied and wanted to lash out at those meddlers until they break into tears. She wouldn’t be content otherwise.
But, Joshua Clarke’s reminder was also valid.
She was wasting time here and if they arrived too late, Cindy might leave.
If they missed this good opportunity, they’d have to wait until the next Competition to see Cindy Clarke again.
That would mean waiting another week.
Waiting for another week isn’t really an issue, but they’d have to stay in the hotel another week, which means spending money for another week.
If they could see Cindy Clarke today and things went smoothly, they could move into Cindy Clarke’s home today itself.
Wouldn’t that be a way to save money?
Once Christy Xenos thought of this, she no longer wanted to argue on the spot.
“Yes, let’s go, let’s go.” Christy Xenos grabbed Joshua Clarke’s wrist, thinking that for once, Joshua Clarke’s suggestion actually made sense.
As she grabbed Joshua Clarke’s wrist, she pushed people aside in front of her: “Excuse me, excuse me, quickly make way, we’re in a hurry.”
“What are you doing?”
“Stop pushing!”
“Everyone is leaving, what’s your rush?”
“Can you please keep the order? There are so many people, it’s very dangerous to push like this.”
“Who’s not in a hurry? Everyone wants to leave quickly, what are you pushing for!”
The crowd started to complain about her actions.
“We really are in a hurry!” Christy Xenos hadn’t stopped pushing forwards, she continued to push through the crowd, “I have to meet my daughter urgently, my daughter is Cindy Clarke! I need to see her!”
“Cindy Clarke is her daughter? Can Cindy Clarke’s mother actually be like this?”
“My God, is this real? Is Cindy Clarke mother like this?”
“I can’t believe it, must be fake.”
“Could she be falsely claiming someone else’s daughter?”
“Who knows? Seeing how shrewish she is, this…”
“Excuse us, excuse us.” Joshua Clarke also followed behind Christy Xenos and kept apologizing, “We really are in a big hurry, we have to go find Cindy Clarke quickly, excuse us, excuse us.”
Every time Christy Xenos pushed someone aside, Joshua Clarke followed with an apology.
On the way, he said: “We have come all the way from Belfard to find Cindy Clarke.”
“Yes!” As Christy Xenos continued to make her way through the crowd, she loudly declared, “Cindy Clarke does not recognise us as her parents, she left us and ran off to Belfard without any message. We don’t even have her contact details now, don’t know where she lives, we can only use the opportunity of today’s competition to see her.”
“Sorry, we’re sorry.” Joshua Clarke immediately followed up.
“This unfilial girl! I don’t know what we did to wrong her, made her choose to abandon her parents. She’s all nice and comfortable in Belfard, leaving us behind in Nork City, not caring for us. Even if we were to die there, she wouldn’t know!”
“Sorry, we’re sorry.”
“If we hadn’t seen her during the live broadcast, we wouldn’t have known she’s in Belfard, wouldn’t have known that she’s living so well.” Christy Xenos spoke loudly, “For all these years, we’ve been looking for her, worrying that she might be kidnapped by bad people, worried that she might have encountered danger outside. We worried day and night, we were so concerned! Yet look at her, living so well in Belfard, without even informing us.”
“Sorry, we’re sorry.”
