Chapter 106 - Like you killed your sister.
When Li Xue saw her past – known mother charging towards her, she knew what was coming next. This was nothing new, not the first or second slap she would be receiving from her. With her skills and knowledge, dodging this simple smack was nothing, just a slight movement in a different direction and she would have dodged it.
But Li Xue did not move. She stayed still and the next second a heavy slap landed across her face hard. Saying that the slap didn\'t hurt her would be a lie. The smack was enough hard and rough to make her spit out a few drops of blood.
Seeing her spitting blood out, even Liu Hua was taken aback. She did not mean to hit her too hard but looking at her not giving them any face, she just could not control her force. Though it was not her first time hitting her but this time, things have changed. She can feel that this girl who has lived all her age with them was no more the same as before.
Not that Li Xue has never been arrogant and haughty before but now seeing her she looked more cold and indifferent than arrogant. Like she has cut all strings of love, belongingness and care for them. And that was something scaring her.
"Aunt Liu!" Wen Sying quickly walked forward to hold the old lady in her light grasp.
Li Sheng also made his way towards his wife. But his motive was not to reprimand his wife for the outrageous action she has pulled off but was to support her by being at her side. "Darling, are you fine? Don\'t lose your patience here. We can always talk and settle things".
Li Xue\'s face was still turned down to one side after she had got that hit. She stayed still not letting anyone see her hurt expression on her face. \'No, she will not let people enjoy seeing her in pain once again\', she said to herself, trying to come back to her composure.
"Li Xue!" Wen Sying called with a pretense of concern all over her expression, "Are you okay? Let\'s go to the hospital first!"
"Sying, why are you getting so concerned about her? It\'s just a few drops of blood she has spitted out. What\'s the need of taking her to the hospital? Look at her, she is living in such an expensive housing society. Of course, she would be in a good healthy state. Just a few drops of blood won\'t cost her much. Let her manage", Liu Hua said, casting a look of disgust towards the daughter she has given birth to.
Hearing the old woman\'s illogical words, Li Xue could not control a low chuckle of mockery. Wiping off the blood from the corner of her lips, she straightened herself. Her eyes are getting a lot more fierce than it was before. "I really wish that I would have been an orphan in this world rather than having parents like you", she said.
"You … you …", Liu Hua again charged with her hands up in the air to give another hit to her daughter but this time it was not easy as it was before.
The moment she reached Li Xue, her wrist got tightly grasped under her fists, making her cry out in pain. "Ahh! You monster! Are you trying to kill your mother now same as you have killed your sister?" But the sudden change of scene and air, both Li Sheng and Wen Sying were shocked.
At the mention of the name of her sister, Li Xue\'s body got stiffened. Her face again started losing its colour. It can\'t be said if it was fear or some guilt that was clenching the insides of her heart but one thing was sure that just a mention of her sister\'s name has made her feel hollow and weak inside.
"Madam Li, you better not dare to lift that hand again on me. The first hit I just took to give one last face to the w.o.m.b that has once given birth to me. But I am not that liberal to take all your frustrations just because you say so and call yourself my mother as you wish. Keep these hands of yours in control or else you can forget that you ever had two hands", she warned and then without giving any care to her footing pushed her away from her in one go.
Facing the sudden push, Mother Li stumbled forward two-three steps. She would have taken the hit on the ground if her husband and Wen Sying have not supported her on time. "Ahh … this …", she cried out when found her fragile wrist turning all bruised, swollen and black.
"What? Is there anything wrong Madam Li? Ohhh … tsk, tsk … Your wrist looked too bad. Thank God, it\'s not broken yet, otherwise, I would have to be entitled to your medical charges too. I know I am able to live a better life now but that does not mean I will be happy by wasting my hard-earned money on useless things", Li Xue scoffed, giving back the same words she has received moments before.
"You … Li Xue, how could you do this to Aunt? She is your own mother for God\'s sake!" Wen Sying said behind her gritted teeth. Her anger was not because Liu Hua was in pain, rather she was angry because again her plan did not end the way she wanted it to end. Li Xue was again on the dominant side while she was here losing again.
Li Xue did not say anything. She just folded her hands over her chest and looked at the three like she was watching some drama at the theatre.
"Li Xue, have you lost your mind? We have never expected that you will become such a disrespectful girl after so many years. It seems like you are in the dire needs of discipline", Li Sheng roared, freeing the lease of his rage.
Looking at him like this, the woman\'s lips tugged up to give a contemptuous smile, "Discipline me! You are not anymore my father to do so. If you really want to discipline someone, then get yourself a kid first"
"You … you … You can\'t be my daughter. I will never have a daughter like you", Li Sheng snarled at her words again. His body started shaking in fury. Even Wen Sying and Liu Hua got scared looking at him like this.
But when the duo of the other two women was frightened, Li Xue seemed to not give any special reaction to the fearsome scene in front. Her lips did not leave the smile of contempt. "It\'s good that at the end, you realized it on your own. I was trying to make you understand the same thing from the last 30 minutes. Since your doubts are already cleared now, you can leave".
Saying this she did not wait for them to walk away instead turned and walked back inside her house, closing the door behind her and leaving the trio all insulted at their place.
As the door got closed, she could not control herself anymore. She slumped down on the floor, giving in to her weak legs. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she mumbled, "I did not kill my sister. It wasn\'t me. I didn\'t kill her."
