Chapter 518 - 528: Even The Scores-III
Entering the house, Li Lian could feel how the people eyes on her. It reminded her of her first time coming to the house starting from when she had just left Japan.
Since her teens, Li Lian was not very keen on being on the spotlight whether it was a good or bad attention. She remembered passing by the hallways, overhearing the maids’ discussion.
’That’s is her? The girl that is said to be the long lost daughter of the madam and masters? She looks very plain,’ said the first maid.
’What else can you expect she lives on the countryside. She won’t look like a princess while Miss Hue Lin is born with silver spoon under her mouth,’ the second maid said, ’though I expected more of her since she is the first daughter but what can we do? Not only does she looks plain, she look very gloomy.’
In fact, Li Lian wasn’t at all plain. She had been a beautiful girl. Xie Hue Lin on the other side had always went through treatments for her skin which caused her to glow while Li Lian had been naturally beautiful but the maids often compared them together and they were biased to the younger miss who they knew better.
But the worse comment wasn’t that it was this: ’The people who had raised them in the countryside must have been saint. I mean, I wouldn’t even want to take care of a lost girl who then bite my hand by leaving to her birth family who is more well off. That kind of unfilial girl, I wonder how can she even be sisters with our kind young miss.’
Li Lian had been angry but much more think of herself as a bad person. While the maids talk was completely false, it was true she had left Ryouma Clan.
It was three years after that when Li Lian started to hate her own decision and herself for letting go of such a beautiful family where only kind souls reside.
"Are you alright?" Li Jun Wei wasn’t particularly liking the house. It was beautiful in term of structure but the place was filled with only painful memories for Li Lian which didn’t sit well with him.
