101 Because I No Longer Care. (1/2)

He then turned to all the people in the dining room and stood up while apologizing.

”Something came up at home so I'll have to return back right now! I'm very sorry for leaving mid-way and being a disturbance!”

Wang Yuju lowered her head slightly and slowly spoke in a low voice, ”It's okay. You don't have to apologize.”

Li Ming took a last glance at her before excusing himself and leaving the house. After he left, the group at the dining table started chatting.

Father Wang looked at Wang Yuju with worry in his eyes as he asked.

”Is it alright at the company? Are you facing any kind of troubles there?”

Wang Yuju smiled as she shook her head. ”Dad, rest assured. With you and Grandpa guiding me, there will be no any troubles for me.”

Grandpa Wang gently rubbed her head with a doting and tender expression on his usually stern face.

He peered at her dazedly as if he was in a trance. He then murmured with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

”You really resemble your late grandma.. When she was young, she captivated my heart with her confident yet humble personality, which you have inherited from her.”

Xia Meng chimed in with a wide grin, ”If Yuju takes after her grandma then her grandma must've been very beautiful just like her!”

She continued while looking at Mother Wang, ”Yuju also takes after Auntie Wang in terms of beauty and temperament!”

Mother Wang laughed as she said, ”Meng'meng, you take after your mother too! You look just like her!”

Suddenly everyone in the table froze, hearing her words. Even the usually cheerful Xia Meng's eyes dimmed slightly.

Noticing her mistake, Mother Wang hastily apologized, ”Xiao Meng'meng, Auntie didn't mean to say that.. I accidentally..”

Xia Meng smiled at her and cut her off politely, ”Auntie, it's okay.”

'Because I no longer care.'

Hence, the breakfast in the table resumed.

Xia Meng walked along the street as she hung her head low. Mother Wang's words kept ringing in her head.

[You resemble your mother too! You look just like her!]

She reached out and touched her own face. Bitterly smiling, she sneered. 'Heh, this face is the only good thing that woman left behind.'

She suddenly became frustrated as she recalled countless memories of her past. She saw an empty can in front of her and kicked it forcefully.

The can flew in the air with the impact of her powerful kick, perfectly landing inside the trashcan, the place where it belonged to.

As she spotted a familiar black car parked nearby (which was obviously waiting for her), Xia Meng walked towards it, opened the door and sat inside coldly.

The driver had been waiting for a very long time so he was dazed, seeing his missy abruptly appearing. Hence, it took him several minutes to start the car.

She looked up at the big mansion and her eyes grew duller and duller.

This house was her nightmare.

If she could, she'd never choose to come here.

If it weren't for the last bit of her indebtedness towards that pair of heartless couple for birthing her, she would've already left this place by now.

Xia Meng pursed her lips and finally entered the Xia Manor. The maids and servants inside saw her and immediately greeted her.

The interior of Xia Manor was very luxurious, classy and extravagant, which proved just how rich the Xia Family was.

But for her, this mansion was only an empty shell which was just decorated to the finest.
