"Your mum told you everything?" uncle asked me unbelievably. "No, I heard it myself. Grandpa said dad was a bad man. He said dad stole someone's panerai watch and he was even put into prison! " I couldn't control my sorrow any more and burst into crying in the street. "Don't believe that." Uncle said unfirmly. "So you believe that dad is not a thief?" I heard hope in my uncle's voice. "Well, Meimei, uncle should not talk these things with you. You have to ask your mum and dad and they will give you a satisfying answer." "Mum won't tell me anything. She said dad was not a thief and also that she would explain it when I was older." "Your mum still protects your father. My poor sister." Uncle said with a heavy sigh. The entire thing was clear before me. Though my uncle said didn't want tell me much, I inferred from his sighness that what he told me must be right. Dad was a theif who once stole a man's panerai watch and he was in prison before I was born. How proud I was of my dad before and how shameful I was of my dad now. He hurt my heart deeply. As wise as he was that didn't he know that a panerai watch couldn't worth a man's fame? I had no intention to go to the theme park at all so my uncle took me home.
My grandma recovered quickly. Since grandma looked better and better, mum told her that we were leaving for home. Grandma said she hadn't recovered well and asked mum and me to stay more time. Mum agreed. But several days later, mum bought two returned tickets and packed our things up. She went to say goodbye to grandparents. Grandpa looked very angry. "You can't go back to that man." he said furiously. "Dad, I'm his wife. I must go back." Mum insisted firmly. "If you live with that man, you will destroy this kid." Grandpa shocked me. I had never thought that my dad's misbehaviour would destroy my life. "Dad, how could you say that before Meimei! Meimei loves his dad as much as I love you!" mum said with a little craziness. "Don't compare me with that theif." "He was not a theif. He was not." Mum shouted and cried.
