Chapter 139 - Fathers daughter (1/2)
Later in the day, when Ying Sheng got home, she saw her mother waiting for her in the living room.
Ying Sheng raised her brows and ignored her walking straight to her room.
”Ying Sheng!” Her mother bellowed.
Ying Sheng groaned and turned to look at her mother. She hated to admit but her mother was really beautiful and elegant.
”Yes?” Ying Sheng replied to her mother as she strode towards her.
”Why didn't you go to school today?!” Her mother questioned angrily.
Ying Sheng yawned and rolled her eyes. The moment she saw her mother, she knew they were going to have their usual fights.
”Because...I didn't want to.” Ying Sheng shrugged as she said nonchalantly.
”You!” Su Cha's temper sparked as anger stirred within her. She took a deep breath to calm down before speaking,
”You principal called me. You have been skipping classes, not taking part in tests and a teacher caught you smoking the last time!”
Ying Sheng hummed. Looking at the bored look on her daughter's face, Su Cha felt a flicker of irritation.
She doesn't know what she did in her previous life for God to give her such a daughter. Why can't her daughter be classy and graceful like those girls in high society? Why did she have to get a gangster as a daughter?
Ying Sheng saw the disgust and disdain in her mother's eyes. She chuckled, a deep rusty sound that vibrated her chest.
How foolish of her to dream that one day her mother will like her. That one day she would see a motherly affection in her eyes.
”You went on a business trip for weeks. No calls, no messages, nothing. The first thing you ask your daughter whom you haven't seen for weeks is why she didn't go to school?”
Ying Sheng questioned her mother with her voice laced with sarcasm.
”At times I wonder if I'm really your daughter.” Ying Sheng added as her lips stretched into a sardonic smile.
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Su Cha's face but she quickly masked it.
”Don't try to change the subject! You better give me a good explanation why you have been skipping school or-”
”Or what?”
Ying Sheng interrupted her mother. This woman never seizes to amaze her. No words of affection, nothing. She only cares about herself. Her reputation.
”Stop talking back to me. I don't want you to ruin your life. Why are you doing this huh? Don't we give you everything you need? All you have to do is make us proud. Is that too much to ask?”
Ying Sheng stared at her mother. Numbness consumed her body, her soul. Her fist clenched as she gazed at the woman who gave birth to her.
Not an ounce of love had she received. Will she ever love her?
No
Maybe
Only God knows.
