Chapter 360 - Mother and Daughter at Loggerheads (1/2)

”If you hadn't been so vain and materialistic, and your constant nagging at me to aim for richer men, I wouldn't be in such a state. Are you pleased with your handiwork now? No one wants to marry me and I've become a woman who is left on the shelf,” Han Xue shrieked at her mother like a madwoman, the veins on her neck bulging in her agitation.

She had completely lost her composure at the thought of her miserable past relationships and was consumed with bitterness and resentment.

She had been dumped by three consecutive men and she had truly been in love with each man she dated, so each time she was dumped, she felt as though a part of her body had been sliced away from her. Furthermore, the man who had loved her the most was now completely lost to her and she was left with nothing.

Even her youthfulness was also quickly fading away.

Han Qing's eyes widened in surprise, as though she was very taken aback by her daughter's rage. This was the first time her daughter had scolded her so harshly.

She clutched at her daughter's shoulders and said, ”Didn't I do it all for you? I only wanted you to marry into a good family.”

”Bullshit!” Han Xue shook her mother's hands off her and yelled, ”You're completely selfish. You failed to marry into a rich family, so you placed all your hopes on me and taught me all the wrong ideas and principles. You coaxed me into getting together with Ye Yi, then asked me to date someone who was a decade older. This is all because of your selfishness…”

Han Xue continued her tirade against her mother. She completely lost control over her emotions and swept all the cups on the tea table onto the floor.

”Xiao Xue, have you gone mad?” Han Qing was enraged by her daughter's insults. She was still Han Xue's mother after all.

”I am mad. Mum… were any of my statements wrong? Didn't you only give birth to me because you hoped that my biological father would get a divorce and marry you instead? You must hate the fact that I was not born a boy. Otherwise, you might have been able to get rid of the current Mrs. Lu to be his lawfully wedded wife. You're selfish and only look after your own interests.”

”Smack…”

A hard slap landed on her face before she could finish her tirade.

Han Qing was completely enraged by her daughter's words and could not believe that the daughter whom she had painstakingly raised now hated her so much.
