Chapter 96 - Sudden Outburst ..(EDITED) (1/2)

When Zhao Ming saw the face of the Empress Dowager, she shivered. She recognized this face. ' the nose, the eyes, the lisp, everything was the same... It was her.'

'Her Mother.'

When her mother, Li Nian was alive, they were a happy family of three. Her Mom and Dad were happy together and Xie Ming was their dear daughter which was pampered by them.

Her mother always taught her to be independent and confident. She taught Ming to fight against wrong and never do anything that your heart does not agree with it. She was the main reason, that despite going through so much, she was not astray.

She has done nothing, that will go against her morals. She may be sharp-tongued and blunt but it was to protect herself from this cruel world.

But she has never hurt any innocent or done anything wrong. It's just she was misunderstood, and that's why her image in the modern world looked like a rude and brat who does not respect others.

It's just, she was not comfortable with anyone after living alone for so long.

When she went abroad, she was only 15 years old. She was in the age where she needs guidance and love. But instead, she was sent far away alone, to cope with the problems of this strange age alone.

Her grandfather could not keep her in the country because he knew, if she stayed in the country, she will be hurt by her bastard father. So he sent her there, away from all the problems.

But he ignored the fact that this was the time that she needed someone the most. The children who were sent abroad at an early age or sent to boarding schools will become aloof and distant from others.

It may not be the case with everyone, but most of them could not get used to this lifestyle and ended up becoming introvert or distant.

She always looked at the children who were picked up by their mothers in the car after school ended. She looked at them with emptiness and misses her mother more.

She was all alone in that foreign country with foreign people. The friends she has, are only for fun and partying but she cannot share her problems with them.

She always imagined, if her mother was still alive, her life would be different. Her family would be still, the happy family of three. And she was being pampered by her parents. She will be the little princess of the Xie Family.

But now, it can only happen in dreams.
