Liang Jia sat on the sofa of the living room of the apartment that had been left empty for a long time by its occupants. If not for the arrival of his family, Weini might not have needed this place to live in temporarily. Weini came over to Liang Jia with a tray containing a small teapot and three empty cups. Yue Fang still did not come out of the room after saying he wanted to clean himself up for a moment.
“Mother, we have tea first yes.” Weini said softly, her voice resuscitated Liang Jia from the daydream and the old woman gave her smile.
“You're bothered Hwa.” Said Liang Jia while receiving the cup that Weini offered.
Weini shook her head slowly, “No hassle to mom, here there are no servants. I deliberately asked Jun not to find a housekeeper, so during this time we have to rely on our own abilities. Hwa is happy, Hwa can do homework that is not possible in our residence.” Plain weini.
“Good idea too, mom has never cooked for a long time. Whether you can cook or not, but this way you can try cooking again. Hwa, we prepare our own dinner how?” liang Jia's proposal sounded gleeful.
Weini nodded in excitement, “Alright ma'am, good suggestion. Just mention what material you need, Hwa will ask brother Dina to buy it. We'll cook together, after that Hwa permission to Grace's place for a while. Tonight there's a procession of her release. You don't mind Hwa staying for a while?” Tanya Weini was afraid of fear because she knew her mother's mood was still not fully improved.
Liang Jia looked silently thinking for a moment then nodded, “Go. Say hello to mom, hopefully later tonight smoothly the show. I only had problems with her father but no feelings for Grace. You kids are just victims, mom can't blame.” Said Liang Jia, who also opened the opportunity for Weini to discuss this issue.
“Mother, if possible Hwa to talk. actually uncle Kao Jing has shown his regret. Hwa see uncle suffer greatly, can mother forgive him sincerely?” Lirih Weini was afraid of mispronouncing and even offending her mother.
Liang Jia instead let out a rough sigh, his gaze staring at the other side, staring at the bright window as the curtain opened. “You're sorry however, your father won't come back to life because of his regrets. I still can't forgive the mistakes of him who has made you suffer and separated for so long from mother.”
Weini was silent for a moment, letting her mother's heart settle down a little before she expressed her opinion again. If it wasn't for her mother, maybe Weini would have taken further action with her magic power. For example, invite him to drink tea that has been laced with memory-wasting spells, but he does not want to do it to the closest person, because he has hope that his mother can forgive, forgive with a roomy heart. “Mother, she also lost her only son. Uncle also did not lose to suffer, we are all in a break-even position. Even if it is true that uncle is the mastermind of the problem in our family, but this is not entirely the fault of uncle. I'm sure uncle is also under the influence of an evil force that uses him for profit. It's just, Hwa does not dare to talk much about it because Hwa himself can not confirm it.” Weini's frown, trying to open up to her mother in terms of magic.
Liang Jia was speechless, weighing what Weini said. He also knew that there were internal problems in the Li clan that turned out to have magic abilities, as Haris told me. And it was Wein who controlled that power now, that was also what Liang Jia was afraid of if anything happened to her daughter.
“Mother, maybe now it's still hard for you to open your heart to uncle. But Hwa please, mother can reconsider later on, neither me nor Jun take any grudges against her either. After the regret that uncle showed, and when I saw the second of his son's death, I couldn't hate him in the least. Life has now improved for us, while uncle has served his sentence by being removed from the family and has nothing. What do you think, the punishment for him is still not worth it?” weini continued, asking Liang Jia to open her heart fully in order to forgive Kao Jing.
“Hwa...” Liang Jia looked at her daughter with a pair of teary eyes, even her newly grown daughter could already teach her to be a forgiving person, when clearly Weini suffered more because of Kao Jing's actions, but he and Xiao Jun did not hold grudges and were truly forgiving.
Weini grabbed both of her mother's hands to hold, waiting for the words the woman was about to say. Although he knew what was on his mother's mind, but it was better to give her a chance to voice in real.
“Hwa, you're right. You shouldn't hate her like that. As destroyed as anything, family ties can not be denied. There was blood and flesh that came from one lineage. Well, mom will obey you, we come to be happy, not like this that mom wants.” Liang Jia replied with a gentle smile.
Weini smiled happily, hugging her mother tightly. “Thank you mom.”
Liang Jia stroked Weini's shoulder holding her, “Mom has an idea, how about we cook with your mother-in-law too. You'll take it to Grace's place. Thanksgiving event should also have the dish, maybe he has prepared it but mom wants to give it to him too.”

Dinner that feels warm atmosphere, for a moment two families can merge together without thinking about the status that usually restricts them in their home country. The Weini and Xiao Jun families seemed to be enjoying a dinner made by Liang Jia and Xin Er.
“Emmm... This is the most delicious food I have ever eaten. Mother and mistress are great, amazing chef.” Praise Li An who looks very tasteful eating her food. She never tasted like this when pregnant and the food cooked by her mother was appetizing.
“Eh, don't call the madam again. Sounds uncomfortable, from now on just call aunty. Thank you Li An, already like the same cuisine aunt.” Mumbled Liang Jia who was smiling happily to hear the praise from everyone who tasted his cooking.
Everyone seemed to be smiling, but the most excited was Li An. “Good aunt, I'll spend it all later.” Li An said excitedly.
Xin Er looked at Weini in the shade, “Hwa, aren't you guys still having events? Looks like it's time.” Xin Er said that most hobbies remind time to anyone.
Liang Jia and the others stared at Weini, “Iya Hwa, take this to Grace's place huh. Don't eat too full later can't eat there.” Liang Jia reminded.
Weini stared alternately at her two mothers then nodded, “Good mother, after this Hwa, Dina, and sister Li An will be there.”
Only Yue Fang refused to come along because he was more enthusiastic about following Lau who was willing to drive him around the city. While Xiao Jun, he also had an event with the groom-to-be who also held an event at his residence. They will split for a moment but certainly will unite the next day at the wedding.
Shortly after, the dinner was over. Liang Jia and Xin Er reconfirmed the dishes that Weini and Dina would bring to Grace's place. There was nothing lacking, and the delicious taste further added to the delight of the two old ladies for those who tasted the dishes to be satisfied.
“Send my regards to Grace yes, Hwa.” Liang shouted a message to his daughter.
“What mother does not intend to attend? Grace must be happy to see two mothers present on her show.” Pinta Weini reminded me once again.
Liang Jia shook her head with a smile, “Two of your mothers are old, have expired, not suitable to be present on the night of the flowers. Anyway just say hello mom, tomorrow just present at the party.”
Weini could not persuade any further, which she must be relieved to see Liang Jia thinking clearly and began to erode her displeasure towards Kao Jing. He believes, over time that will heal the wound, this fractured family relationship will be re-attached, even though it leaves scars and cracks that are prone to rupture, but while there is still a heart to mediate the conflict, Weini is sure there will be a way to reunite.
