Chapter 382 - Took away the things I discarded away.
Li Xue's eyes were sharp but her curl of mockery was keeping everything at place. Could she complain about this woman's thoughts? No, not at all! This woman was all the sa as she was in the past. The only thing she could do was to make her taste her own dicine better.
Letting out a deep burdening breath, she looked at the woman and said, "Madam Li has asked if she has taught anything? I think I found an answer for you."
Her words paused not because she cared for the woman or did not know what to say, but because she wanted to combat the exact venom the woman had spilt in the air. "The only woman who has influenced the most in my life since childhood is you. So, what do you think? From where did I learn all those things for which you are honouring today?"
The intention behind those words was as clear as crystal and was intentionally made in that way to get on sobody's nerves.
Liu Hua instantly saw red. Widening her eyes, her hand lifted up in the air. "You bastard!"
Sister Margaret, who was on her way out after hearing the ruckus, panicked looking at the scene. "Madam!"
But before that strike could fall, it was grabbed tightly in the air. "I am fine, Sister Margaret! Don't worry", Li Xue said to Sister Margaret with a slight warm smile on her lips.
But that curl of her lips disappeared instantly, without giving any traces of its existence from before. Her amber eyes turned sharper, ready to slash away the life from that audacious hand which was aid to strike her.
Did she really think that she could slap her? Who gave her the right?
The middle-aged lady almost stumbled on her footing when directed to that sharpness. Her lips quivered to speak her anger out but now looking at the dark features of her daughter, she no longer knew the strength in her body. If not held by her, she would have long fallen on the floor.
When did this girl beco capable of such domineering aura? She no longer could recognize her like this.
"Wasn't my warning from the last ti clear enough to your ears, Madam Li? Or are you asking it to be revised?" Li Xue asked but her question was not requiring any answer. The tone was dark enough to make the comparatively old lady see the dark clouds in the sky.
"You can't hit any longer, Madam Li, because you don't hold any right? Should I have to make this clear to you every ti we et?" she continued.
"I am still your moth …" she tried to co out strong but one growl from the daughter was enough to silence her.
"Though not by character, you once were my mother by na but that role is no longer running in validity now. Are you asking to revise the reason behind the end of the validity too?" But then the clench of Li Xue's jaws eased along with her expressions. Her hold on the delicate wrist in her hand also loosened away while her eyes showed her lack of interest in the show.
Then pulling up her wrist, she again looked at the ti on her watch as she said, "Umm … I don't think we have got ti to rember the past, Madam Li. So, let's just skip that part and jump to the reason that has brought you here. So??"
Even though that attitude of Li Xue was sparking a fire of anger in Lui Hua's heart, she was not the daring one to let it on the show anymore, especially when she has no one backing her up today. She was really regretting coming alone. "I have heard that you are again joining the modelling industry. I want you to drop the idea, right away."
Li Xue was almost taken aback by those words. This woman was really audacious! Though her nerves were aching to lash out on her, she knew more better things. Keeping calmness would not go amiss, so pushing her anger at the back of her head, she nonchalantly asked, "Why so, Madam Li? Any special reasons?"
The woman's brows furrowed at her question as she asked, "Huh? Are you trying to feign lack of knowledge here? Don't you know it already? We are already old and don't want to take any embarrassnt because of you. Haven't you already had enough of it in the past? How much more shaless can you get? Furthermore, didn't I already say that you are not born for the stage rather …"
Before the lady could complete her words, Li Xue did it for her with a low chuckle, "Rather I was born to ruin your career. Am I right?" How can she forget those lines? She has heard it in the count of tis that she, herself, could not rember. "But tell sothing, in your ti did the pharmacy not sell the contraceptives? You could have just killed at that ti itself rather than collecting your strength for the later use. At least that ti you would have got surety, now see, you are so helpless that it's no more in your hands to kill . Tsk … tsk!"
"You … Such an ungrateful girl, I have given birth to. Sure thing, I regret it now! Why didn't I birth soone like Wen Sying? Look at you, you are not even capable of being compared to the nails of her finger" Lui Hua lashed out, not able to take it anymore.
Li Xue did not care for those words. She has heard the worst. So, keeping her smile of nonchalance all intact to her lips, she simply said, "Do you think I care to be like her? What so great in being like her? In the end, she took away the things I have discarded away."
"What did you say? You discard us away? We were there to abandon you five years back, not the other way round. Get your facts clear …"
"Madam Li, are you here to play a child's quarrel? Sorry, I really don't have ti for that. I have much better things to do. So, let clear the reason for which you showed your appearance" Li Xue said, cutting the lady's useless blabbering off. "I won't be leaving my dream just because you said it to . And about taking any embarrassnt because of , let your facts remain clear on this. I am no longer related to you. So, there is no point of you getting scared unless and until you are caring for your precious Wen Sying".
Liu Hua's face went red in anger. She was not going to take 'no' as an answer today. "You …" Just when she started, a black Rolls Royce car made its way inside the housing society ca to stop at a little far distance from them.
Li Xue's eyes also turned to look into the direction. Was there any guest at Mr Beelzebub's place? Her eyes turned to look at Sister Margaret in askance but seeing her shaking her head, she was confused.
But all her confusion disappeared when she saw the familiar old man dressed in polite black, stepping out of the car.
