“If you hadn’t been so vain and materialistic, and your constant nagging at me to aim for richer men, I wouldn’t be in such a state. Are you pleased with your handiwork now? No one wants to marry me and I’ve become a woman who is left on the shelf,” Han Xue shrieked at her mother like a madwoman, the veins on her neck bulging in her agitation.

She had completely lost her composure at the thought of her miserable past relationships and was consumed with bitterness and resentment.

She had been dumped by three consecutive men and she had truly been in love with each man she dated, so each time she was dumped, she felt as though a part of her body had been sliced away from her. Furthermore, the man who had loved her the most was now completely lost to her and she was left with nothing.

Even her youthfulness was also quickly fading away.

Han Qing’s eyes widened in surprise, as though she was very taken aback by her daughter’s rage. This was the first time her daughter had scolded her so harshly.

She clutched at her daughter’s shoulders and said, “Didn’t I do it all for you? I only wanted you to marry into a good family.”

“Bullshit!” Han Xue shook her mother’s hands off her and yelled, “You’re completely selfish. You failed to marry into a rich family, so you placed all your hopes on me and taught me all the wrong ideas and principles. You coaxed me into getting together with Ye Yi, then asked me to date someone who was a decade older. This is all because of your selfishness…”

Han Xue continued her tirade against her mother. She completely lost control over her emotions and swept all the cups on the tea table onto the floor.

“Xiao Xue, have you gone mad?” Han Qing was enraged by her daughter’s insults. She was still Han Xue’s mother after all.

“I am mad. Mum… were any of my statements wrong? Didn’t you only give birth to me because you hoped that my biological father would get a divorce and marry you instead? You must hate the fact that I was not born a boy. Otherwise, you might have been able to get rid of the current Mrs. Lu to be his lawfully wedded wife. You’re selfish and only look after your own interests.”

“Smack…”

A hard slap landed on her face before she could finish her tirade.

Han Qing was completely enraged by her daughter’s words and could not believe that the daughter whom she had painstakingly raised now hated her so much.

Han Xue pointed at her own face.

“Come on, mum… If you think you’re so great, go ahead and beat me to death. Anyway, I was only born to be a pawn for you to achieve your own ambitions,” Han Xue said through sobs.

Then, she rushed into her own room, opened her closet and stuffed several outfits into a travel suitcase.

She dragged the suitcase out.

Han Qing quickly stepped forward to block her way.

“What are you doing?” She yelled.

Han Xue retorted, “I’m not going to live here any longer. Mum… if you want to marry into a rich family that much, then go ahead and do so yourself. I no longer want to listen nor hear your views, neither do I want to be under your influence any longer. Did you know? Ye Hao no longer has any feelings for me and he even hates me. Do you know how it feels like to be detested by someone who used to love you so deeply? Mum… let’s lead separate lives. Take care.”

For the first time, Han Xue was disappointed by her life choices and had also lost faith in her mother.

She felt that she was in a pathetic state when she thought of how she would wait for him at his office every day and even stopped his car in front of everyone just so that she could clear up the misunderstanding. She had held on to hope that their love could be rekindled but she was wrong.

She had completely lost him and she was nothing to him these days. This was especially so today since he refused to even spare her a second glance.

Han Qing took her daughter’s hand in hers and refused to let her daughter go.

She said anxiously, “Alright, Xiao Xue. I admit that I was wrong and that I caused your misery. Don’t worry, I will definitely find a way to make him come back to you, I promise.”
