We all ignored her and turned to our own rooms, leaving her alone in the living room, performing her one-woman show.
After three days in the hospital without a shower, I dropped my things and rushed into the bathroom.
But before I could wash for even three minutes, my mom started banging on the bathroom door.
She asked me what I wanted to eat, how to adjust the TV, and then told me to buy her some clothes.
Each time she knocked, I had to turn off the hot water. In the freezing winter, it wasn't long before I started sneezing.
Finally, after her seventh knock, I couldn't take it anymore: "Mom! Don't you know I'm taking a shower? Can't you wait to talk about this later?"
"Okay, okay, you're so precious. No one can disturb the princess while she's bathing. Oh dear, getting old just makes me annoying everywhere!"
Even though I was fuming inside, at least she stopped bothering me after that shout.
Just when I was about to dry off, she suddenly pushed the door open and rushed in with her phone raised.
I immediately screamed, "Mom! What are you doing?!"
"Oh dear, I didn't know! I thought you were done already."
Fortunately, I reacted quickly, wrapping myself up just in time and knocking her phone out of her hand, preventing any embarrassing moments.
"Mom! Were you doing it on purpose? You knew I was in the shower, yet you turned on the Live Stream and barged in. What does that mean?"
"Mom just needed to use the bathroom urgently. Why are you being so petty about it?"
Using the bathroom while Live Streaming? Even a fool wouldn't believe that!
But that wasn't even what made me angrier.
When I finally calmed down and returned to my bedroom, I discovered that my File Folder had been opened!
"Mom! Did you open my File Folder? You can't just open it; it's very important and could affect my entire life!"
"Stop trying to scare me. What File Folder could possibly affect your life? You must be hiding some secret you don't want anyone to see!"
"Mom! If you don't understand, then don't say anything. What if I can't find a job in the future!"
The shouting quickly attracted Dad's attention: "What's going on? What are you arguing about now?"
"I was kindly tidying up for my Precious Daughter, but she’s yelling at me over a document. She's such an ungrateful brat!"
Dad looked repeatedly at the violently torn File Folder and urged me to contact the person in charge to see if there was any way to salvage it.
Meanwhile, My Mom continued to mumble at the camera:
"Just because I touched the young lady's things, she's getting angry with me. How did I fail as a mother? It's so hard!"
My dad looked at my mom with a serious expression and said, "It's over. My retirement savings for the rest of my life are gone. We'll have to live on nothing but air from now on."
As soon as she heard about the retirement savings, my mom immediately tensed up. "How is that possible? Isn't that Xiaxia's information? What does it have to do with you?"
"I can't explain it to you! This is serious; you don't understand the gravity of the situation at all!"
"You've never had an education or a job, and now you're just making things worse. We're going to be living off nothing for the rest of our lives!"
Seeing the grave expressions on our faces and the comments in the chat criticizing her, my mom finally realized this wasn't a joke.
"What are we going to do? I don't know! I thought there was some secret hidden in there!"
"Oh God, we've struggled our whole lives relying on your little retirement fund, and now it's just gone! I'm really in trouble!"
"Enough! Stop crying. You need to leave for now. Xiaxia and I will think of a solution. Don't touch those documents again, understood?"
My mom nodded blankly, then left my room without another word.
