Wenjing returned from a date with her boyfriend, but her expression darkened as she stepped out of the elevator and saw her mother still standing there. Clattering down the hallway in her impossibly high heels, she stopped before her mother and spat viciously, "Mom, what are you doing here?"
Her mother hung her head and held out a container of dumplings that had long since gone cold. Her voice trembled as she spoke softly, "I made these for you. You said you were too busy to come home for the New Year, so I brought them to you."
Wenjing felt no surge of warmth or gratitude. Instead, she looked at the dumplings with disgust. "The dumplings I eat now are stuffed with shrimp and matsutake mushrooms. Who would eat your pork filling? I wouldn't even look twice at this kind of junk if it were sold downstairs for ten yuan, and yet you bring it to me!"
