"I have a gift for you." Her mother said, thinking of all the important things. "Seconds."
Marley disappeared from the room, leaving behind an unguarded pancake. Yang Jiaqi got up from the kitchen table and took over the cooking. She put the pancakes before they burned. She was using it to make up for her mother's absence. Marley moved her hand away from the stove before Yang Jiaqi stuffed it into a bag as she returned.
"I can handle it." she said angrily.
"They are burning." Yang Jiaqi told her.
"I said I can handle it!" Marley shouted angrily.
"Alright then." Yang Jiaqi replied softly and returned to her seat at the kitchen table.
Marley sang again, forgetting that her outburst was almost as soon as it would happen. She piled the pancakes on two plates and grabbed some forks. She sat down in front of her daughter, butter and maple syrup, and sighed happily.
"Isn't that great?" She asked Yang Jiaqi as she smeared her pancake syrup. "When we share a meal for the last time?”
"Your birthday is in October." Yang Jiaqi told her," We had dinner at your apartment. China."
Marley wasn't seriously questioned, and she didn't spend more time with her jabs at Yang Jiaqi. Yang Jiaqi had made it clear that she didn't want to see her drunk and take medicine. She could only see her when Marley guaranteed that she was sober. In Yang Jiaqi's mind, it was her mother, take good care of herself, if she wanted to spend time with her daughter, and call her when she had such a night. They rarely did it.
"You should go to one of my programs.”Marley told her," See the band. These guys haven't seen you yet because…"
She stopped talking. An awkward silence fell upon them, the sound of the fork scratching the only sound between them. There was a phone on the counter in Yang Jiaqi's kitchen. The night before she left, she had dinner with Luo Chong. She went to retrieve it, thinking that it might have been the day before Xiao Min asked about it. Yang Jiaqi reached her phone and saw that her suspicions were correct. She began to type a message saying that she would tell her that she was busy, but would tell her everything later.
Before she could call her mother, she tore open the phone and took it from her hands.
" What are you..." Yang Jiaqi began.
"You are the very rude Yang Jiaqi. We have a conversation.”said Marley.
"Give me the phone." Yang Jiaqi said it was dangerous.
His daughter, Mary, sneered. "This is your father's phone number, Yang Jiaqi.”
The phone buzzed again when another text message came in. Yang Jiaqi reached it. Marilyn went out, away from her, toward the sink. The basin was filled with water, soaking the dishes the day before. Marley threw the phone into the water and it vibrated, while Yang Jiaqi looked frightened.
"F * ck, Mom! Why are you doing this?" Yang Jiaqi exclaimed. She rushed to the sink and destroyed the dirty water in the equipment.
"Therefore, we can have an appropriate conversation.”Marley replied, although her daughter was behaving strangely.
"Damn it, damn it, I just sent a text message to tell Xiao Min that I can stay silent because you're here!”Yang Jiaqi exclaimed.
"Calm down, Yang Jiaqi." said Marley, grinning at himself.
Yang Jiaqi slowly inhaled and exhaled. " Mom, these things are all expensive. You can't just…"
"I interrupted him because your mother and I were disciplining you.”Marley " Actually, I think I have an idea, the band needs a new angle, I've been thinking about duets for months, I'm telling you, it's going to be brilliant, you're hot and young, I still have a little something, what's going on, you're not in school anymore, really? Make-up artist, you're much better off using your talent, willing to give me a chance to correct some of this attitude, I see hard work and some real parents, that's what you need.”
Yang Jiaqi smiled." Yes, since when did you do anything to raise it? It's definitely not when I'm living with you. The judge gave me a life because you ignored my mom and dad, that's what they used to say, ignoring you can not come here, and decided to be my parents for the next 18 years!”she shouted.
Marley's daughter slapped her face hard.
"You motherf * cker!" She said unhappily, her daughter speechless.
Winston began to bark, trying to rouse himself.
"You ungrateful bastard!”Marley shouted. "I'll provide you with the opportunity to become a celebrity! You ruined my fucking life! You and your father!" She screamed, her face full of pure anger.
There were tears in Yang Jiaqi's eyes, and she curled up her arms behind her as her mother tried to hit her again against the wall. Winston continued to bark, letting Marley jump up between the two of them and bite her. He got a good bite before she kicked him, making him bark uneasily. The voice woke Yang Jiaqi up.
Years of abuse, her frequent drinking and drug abuse, and neglect, all her anger, all her abuse at the hands of this woman, all of this had been borne by her. Now, her mother was being attacked for something else. She wasn't just being attacked for herself. She had just hurt something she cared deeply about. Yang Jiaqi was filled with anger. Frustration, protection, and powerful anger gave her the strength to finally counterattack.
Yang Jiaqi was lagging behind, and her mother pushed the older woman to show off. She grabbed her mother by the hair, and Marley pried her arms away as she headed toward the corridor. The two men fought as they crisscrossed the corridors, but Yang Jiaqi was stronger than her mother, although she was unstable in her drunkenness. Yang Jiaqi slammed her through the door into a puddle of cold ice and snow that melted into dog shit, watching her mother's journey fall behind and fall.
"Get out of here!" Yang Jiaqi screamed. "I never want to see you again!”
Marley got to his feet, walked to the door, and slammed it in her face. Yang Jiaqi locked the door and pulled away from it, barely hearing her mother's request to let her in. She trembled all over and returned to the kitchen. Winston seemed to be alright, though a little fickle. Yang Jiaqi poured the breakfast dishes they had destroyed into the sink and sent her to destroy the phone. In a fit of anger, the entire room was already broken and the linoleaf floor on the equipment was cracked.
Hot tears streamed down her face as she paced up and down the kitchen, confused, angry, and scared. The wounds on her arm, the wounds she bled in the fight to get to her house, the scratches her mother inflicted on her body. Yang Jiaqi knew one thing for sure: She never wanted to see her mother again. She went up the stairs to her bedroom and started to shoot the camera on her laptop, her weapon bleeding, in front of it, and then sat down.
"This is what you did to me.”Yang Jiaqi said as she cried for the camera. "That's what you did, and you were drunk at the time, when you wouldn't take your medicine. Maybe you would choose not to remember, maybe you wouldn't, but at this moment, you had gone too far. I've been trying to understand and forgive you, and tell myself it's just your illness, but what can you do to stop it, I can't deal with it anymore, I know you'll blame me, this I know, you can never blame yourself for something that happened, but understand that I don't care what you do, I'm no longer your daughter.”she said, her voice trembling, anger and tears streaming down her cheeks.
"If you ever try to contact me again, I'll take you to court for child abuse charges. Remember those interesting mothers?”Yang Jiaqi sobbed. " How about remembering a 'guy' touching your thirteen-year-old daughter? Remember how I kept quiet, because I was your little Rhenon, and I was a good girl, and I didn't want my mother to get into trouble, so I had to be quiet and not tell anyone. If you tried to contact me, if you tried to get Dad or anyone to contact me, in your name, I wouldn't stay quiet. I swear to God, I will tell everyone who will listen.”
She cried sternly now and sang,"Reyenon Huan Tong spent the night/like a bell, will you love to love her?”
Yang Jiaqi didn't know why she did it, why she decided to sing for her mother. She ended the recording and turned off the camera. She sat in front of her laptop and stared at the space shuttle. Tears seeped out of her eyes, and the numbness filled her senses. She drew her legs, her chest, to her knees, and she leaned her head against the chair, folding it into a loud ball. Her tears soaked the material of her sweatpants, and her ragged sobs drowned out the impact of her mother's fist on the door.
"I love you." She told him softly.
Wei Ming smiled at her. "I love you so much."
He passed her hair and gently brushed his fingers through the long lock on his hand. When the climax was over and the sex was coming to an end, Xiao Min's worries returned. Ever since she woke up in the morning, she had not heard of Yang Jiaqi. Xiao Min had sent her a text message the day before to check on how things were going with Luo Chong, but her friend had not replied. The strange part was that she didn't answer her emails or messages through Renren.
She longed to get her to keep talking to Xiao Min, who called the house her father. Yang Jiaqi was obviously gone forever. He and her stepmother, Lauren, had returned from their trip. She had left a note saying that she had come out. What was strange was that Yang Jiaqi usually went out with Xiao Min. Wei Ming saw that Xiao Minnudged her friend and tried to comfort her.
"Yang Jiaqi is a tough girl, Xiao Min.”he said, stroking her cheek gently.
Xiao Min asked to stay away from him and sat at the foot of the bed.
"I don't know. It feels weird.”Xiao Min said. "She has never left for such a long time without contacting me.”
"Maybe her phone is dead?" Wei Ming suggested. He was really not worried. Then again, he disliked Yang Jiaqi a lot. He tried to comfort her that she didn't have a job, but because they often failed.
Xiao Min shook her head. "I don't think so."
Two days later, Yang Jiaqi called Xiao Min. Xiao Min was called in during the shower, standing in the middle of dripping water, naked in her room. Yang Jiaqi told her what had happened. After her fight with her mom, she had already deleted the video that she had given her, and no matter how hard she tried, it was impossible to break the tie. Yang Jiaqi was still furious with her and was unlikely to have any contact with her for a long time, but she was unable to deliver such a fatal blow to their relationship.
