On the early morning of March 23, Elaine Ng (吳綺莉) got into an argument with her 17-year-old daughter Etta Ng (吳卓林), which resulted in Etta reporting her mother to the police. Elaine was arrested under the suspicion of intimidation, but was then released on bail that afternoon. When Elaine returned home that night, Etta had already moved out of their Tai Hang apartment. Elaine told reporters at the time that she had a typical family argument with Etta and believes that everything will be settled soon. On the afternoon of March 26, reporters spotted Elaine leaving her apartment, alone. When reporters approached her car, Elaine kindly rolled down her window to chat with them. The actress told reporters that she was going out for lunch, as she did not have any food saved at home. Elaine looked tired, but otherwise seemed to be in a better mood than previous nights. Asking if she was going to lunch with her daughter, Elaine hesitated and said, “No.” She then pointed out that Etta is in a “safe place” at the moment. Asking if she was in contact with Etta, Elaine said, “Er… we are!” Elaine believes that this matter with Etta can be resolved soon. She also used the opportunity to deny the rumors claiming that her daughter was lesbian. Elaine said she will “definitely” see her daughter again. After her lunch, Elaine stopped by a supermarket to buy some groceries and a few necessities. Upon seeing the reporters crowding around her apartment complex, Elaine frowned and said she was not feeling well. “My lymphs are swollen. I feel a bit tired!” Asking if she had contacted Etta, Elaine quickly said, “No!” (Did Etta go to school?) “I don’t know!” (Has her school gotten involved?) “We all know what happened!” Creds: Ming Pao
