Wen Sying's nerves were already shivering inside in fear and on top of that Li Xue's words were not helping her in any way.
Though she has always held a fa?ade of being a nice daughter in front of Liu Hua, the lady was still the first achievement she had against Li Xue. Same as Zheng Wenting. There was no way she would ever want to lose them from her life. After all, it was already better to have a family to depend upon and a financially stable man to get married to.
So, she would never risk Li Xue confronting the lady.
Although she knew that Li Xue was just threatening him and would herself never reveal the things to her so-called mother, she was not in the position to afford the risks.
Under the provoking playful gaze of the woman from the mirror, Wen Sying quickly scrambled her legs towards the exit, at once latching it open to get out of the room and as expected of their thoughts the old lady was already making her way in search of her.

Wen Sying was also fast to get back to her composure. Since she has to hide the things, she would better make sure to not leave any loop behind. "Oh! I am really sorry, Aunt Liu. Were you worried? I didn't intend to make you worry. It took me more time inside but now I am all done. Let's go back and get something better for you".
She said, quickly looping her arms with the woman and then making her turn to walk away. Li Xue was still inside and to make the situation go worse for her, she could come out anytime.
But just when she thought that things would get a little easy for her, she felt her arms getting tugged from behind.
"Sying what happened, child! You are wearing a scarf. I am sure this wasn't there when you came here. Are you feeling cold? The weather is good though" The lady asked, moving her hand up to Wen Sying's forehead to check her temperature. Her lips, getting into a straight line when felt nothing but just a little sticky, sweaty forehead. "Huh? Your temperature seems fine but what's up with these sweats? Were you nervous?"
With the old lady's stance, none could doubt her motherly kindness and love. To them, the lady standing in front was full of good vibes of a mother.
"No, it's nothing, Aunt Liu. I am fine. Please don't bother. Let's go to the store first" Wen Sying said with a nonchalant expression, trying to dodge the question.
Liu Hua looked at her like that. For some reason, something in the girl's form doesn't seem right to her. Was something troubling her? She thought.
"Are you sure, Sying? There is nothing serious, right?" She asked to confirm the thing and the woman did not hesitate before nodding.
"I am perfectly fine, Aunt Liu. Come on! If I ever have a problem, I would never hide it from you", she said again, trying to make the woman believe but the expression on the old woman's face was still not showing any positiveness to effort.
Liu Hua' eyes stared at her as her eyes went back to dart around her neck. Though she still could not bring herself to believe her, nevertheless, she nodded in acceptance in her request. They were about to take their steps away when suddenly the woman's eyes caught someone behind.
Releasing her hands at once from Wen Sying's hooking arms, she turned around to take a proper look. And she wasn't wrong to identify the person. How could she? After all, whether she accepts it or not, the truth could never change. She has birthed a shameless girl like her.

Liu Hua shot the moments she saw Li Xue pulling the door of the restroom to get out. Her eyes, all furious, remembering how rudely and disrespectfully she has been treated the last time she met her.
Wen Sying no longer knew what else she could do "Aunt Liu, that …" She tried to say something but was not able to complete her words, given to her lack of reasoning she had with herself to support her words.
While on the other side, Li Xue did not bother to mind them. Since she has already confirmed things here, she has better good work to do later. Wasting her time simply here, without any use was not her preferable thing.
So, taking that she has not come across them, she did not spare any glance at them and turned to leave the shopping complex at once. But when did the way of an elephant have been peaceful, when there are unleashed dogs to bark around?
"Li Xue, stop there!" Liu Hua yelled in a piercing tone as she took her steps to get in front of the girl who was undoubtedly getting off her hands.
Li Xue's steps halted but she didn't turn to look at the lady. She just stood at her place as the woman, herself, came forward to stand in front of her.
"You are really an ungrateful, mannerless one. Haven't you saw me standing there" she asked and Li Xue plainly nodded her head in agreements as she said.
"Yes, of course. I am not blind to not see the people standing around"
The old lady gritted her teeth at her bluntness before letting out more of her words "Then why did you not stop there to greet me?"
Li Xue lifted her eyes. Her brows all confusedly pulled together while looking at the lady at the front as if she has seen three heads growing together. "Madam Li, what do you think of me? I am not the doorman to greet everyone coming and going out of the mall."
