452 Some Regrets (2/2)

”And you slapped her right in front of everyone...” said Zhao Wei keeping her voice as calm as she could.

”It was my important day and she ruined it! How was I supposed to stay calm?!” Qiu Meihui's voice raised an octave which made Zhao Wei frown at her.

”Keep your voice down,” she advised softly. ”And don't you dare think for a second that I didn't see you pulling tricks on Yan Ying and making her fall down right at the birthday cake. Even when she knew you're to blame, she calmly and maturely apologized to you repeatedly. Even when you slapped her, she still apologized!”

Qiu Meihui snorted like a spoiled brat, ”So what? She should be apologizing! I didn't invite her to my birthday. Why did she come here?”

”Meihui!” Zhao Wei was on the verge of losing her temper now. ”Don't you ever feel bad for insulting her before everyone? This isn't even the first time. Because of you, no one even wants to befriend her.”

”How is that my fault now? She isn't worth it. A white lotus like her deserves no friend,” shrugged Qiu Meihui not losing her attitude at all. ”Besides, she doesn't need friends. She has Xiaoli wrapped around her fingers. In the pretense of friendship, she's coveting him and thinks I can't see it at all.”

Zhao Wei rubbed her forehead trying to ease the headache that was threatening to get worse by seeing Qiu Meihui's attitude of no remorse at all. It worried her to death. ”I can't even understand what's your problem with Ying is. She is such a sweet girl.”

”If you like her so much, you should take her in as your daughter because I can't compare with her. I don't wanna be like her at all!” Qiu Meihui gave her mother's words another shape. Zhao Wei didn't mean it this way.

She could only helpless sigh as she said, ”It's such a shame that you're never able to understand your own mother. And I feel like a failure for actually not being able to raise you any better.” Zhao Wei turned to leave but stopped at the door, ”You're very proud of your friends who love pulling pranks on others and even help you in insulting and belittling others. But let me warn you, one day these friends would all leave you alone.”

Qiu Meihui rolled her eyes ignorantly, ”Stop preaching, mom. I'll prove you wrong. Because one day, you'll also realize that what you think of Ying is absolutely wrong. She isn't as sweet as she appears to be. And then you'll regret it because you'll end up losing your own daughter as well.”

*End of Flashback*

Looking back now, Qiu Meihui didn't know who won. Because she certainly felt lost. After all, her friends indeed started keeping their distance from her when she chose to marry an ordinary man out of their social circle. And she indeed married him just to spite her own mother.

But did she regret doing all that?

If she said yes, she knew her whole life would seem pitiful because all she had were regrets.
