Chapter 58 - The Unbearable Pain (1/2)
''I… Can you tell me where the washroom is?” Yu Mei asked the first person who came to her sight.
She had to check if there were stains on her dress since she was already starting to feel uncomfortable. Even Jun Zixuan is nowhere to be seen.
”Walk straight past the bar counter then left.” The lady kindly pointed out the direction.
”Thanks…” Struggling to endure the pain, she walked towards the bar counter.
Just as she was about to take a left turn, the person sitting on the bar stool stood up and turned back all of a sudden, bumping into her in the process.
The drink in her glass splattered on her sapphire gown drenching a portion near her waist.
Her face turned pale at the sudden cool sensation near her abdomen. She clenched her fist tightly as she took a deep breath before walking away trying to soothe her pain.
”Hey, you… Where do you think you are going?”
Yu Mei paused as she turned around to look at the woman who seemed to be somewhere around in her early 30s.
”What can I do for yo-you?” She tried to keep her tone normal but it came out trembling instead.
Her abdomen was hurting like someone was cutting out her flesh and even her limbs were beginning to ache.
She never expected that even with a new body, the first day of her period was still as painful as ever. And even more painful than before.
”Apologize.”
The woman tilted her chin arrogantly before walking towards her.
She pursed her lips as she looked at the woman, ”Apologize? It was you who bumped into me…you ruined my dress and you want me to apologize to you?!”
The other two young girls who were sitting on the barstool stood up before pushing her away from her shoulder.
Yu Mei staggered a few steps back and she held the edge of the counter for support. She closed her eyes because of pain. Are these people crazy?
”Fatty, do you know who you are talking to? She is the Mayor's daughter,” One of the girls filled her with information while poking her shoulder.
The so-called Mayor's daughter walked towards her before looking at her in disgust, ”Wearing a counterfeit of a gown from Vienne, you aren't worried about ending up in jail.”
Yu Mei took a few deep breathes, ”I need to go,” She stood up straight.
The woman grabbed her wrist, applying pressure on her hand, ”Apologize right now. Do you think just anyone is allowed to leave after messing with me?”
”Exactly when did I mess with you?” Yu Mei looked at them in frustration, ”It is you and your lackeys testing my patience.”
”You… Who are you calling lackies?” One of those lackey girls raised her hand to slap her.
Yu Mei grabbed her wrist before twisting it ruthlessly, ”I called you a lackey…. Ahh…”
A gasp escaped her mouth when the woman fisted her hair from behind. Her eyes turned red. She grabbed the woman's hand and twisted it as hard as she could.
A fistful of her hair fell on the floor when she managed to get her hair out of the woman's tight grip.
”Ah…How dare you!!” The woman glared at Yu Mei. She was the Mayor's only child. When has she ever been treated like this? People always feared her and wagged their tales in front of her like a dog.
