Chapter 172 - Dont lie to me (1/2)
Lei Zhao swallowed his grievances since these women have team up to bully him. He harrumphed and crossed his arms across his chest with a sullen look on his face.
Ying Sheng looked at her cousin behaving like a child and chuckled. She never thought she would one day see Lei Zhao behave like a puppy abandoned by it's owner. He looked cute though.
”You did so well. Well done!” Yan Mei said as she patted Ying Sheng's head.
Ying Sheng beamed and grabbed Yan Mei's arms.
”Thank you,sister Mei.” Ying Sheng said as she broke into a big smile.
Lei Zhao rolled his eyes at how docile Ying Sheng is in front of Yan Mei.
”Let's go and eat. It's time for lunch.” Lei Zhao said.
”Alright.”
*****************
”Ying Sheng, how is school?” Lei Zhao asked once the waiter brought their food.
Ying Sheng shrugged and turned to look at Lei Zhao.
”Oh, I dropped out.” Yan Mei and Lei Zhao exchanged a look. Lei Zhao heaved a sigh.
”Why did you drop out?” He asked as he started removing the bones from the fish for his wife.
Ying Sheng bit her lips and stole a glance at Yan Mei. She didn't really care about other's opinion but for the first time she was afraid someone would misjudged her.
Yan Mei had her head lowered as she ate so Ying Sheng couldn't see her expression.
”I-I don't want to do medicine! Why should I waste time on a program I totally despise?”
Ying Sheng said with her tone laced with venom.
”What about your mother? Did she agree to this?”
Hearing Lei Zhao mention that witch Ying Sheng remembered the day she slapped her. She thought once she didn't come home her mother would panic and call her but nothing.
That heartless woman! People says stepmothers are scary but for Ying Sheng, her mother was scarier.
”I don't have a mother.” Ying Sheng mumbled almost inaudibly but Lei Zhao heard her.
Lei Zhao scrunched his face in confusion at her words. He knew Ying Sheng's mother wasn't the best mother in the world but Ying Sheng has never complained or seemed bothered about it.
What happened for her to say, that she has no mother?
Yan Mei who also heard Ying Sheng paused for a while and looked up at her. She knew she was just a wife and she couldn't take part in certain family matters but….
”Why did you say you have no mother?” Yan Mei asked with confusion laced in her tone. What could make a daughter say such bold words.
Ying Sheng fidgeted nervously and played with her food. She swallowed the uncomfortable feeling gnawing inside her.
”Well, that heartless witch doesn't deserve to be called a mother!” Ying Sheng said angrily. Her chest moving up and down.
”Okay, what the hell is going?” Lei Zhao asked this time. He knew Ying Sheng's mental health was really bad and all this bad girl image started because she wanted to get her parents attention.
He had found a therapist for her when he once walked on her trying to cut herself while she was still high.
Lei Zhao was so petrified at the scene and up till now he still hasn't been able to get the scene from his mind. Who would have thought his pumpkin would grow up to be a self-harm inflicting manic.
