Chapter 1992 “Battle (2)”
Meanwhile in the backyard, Mo Xin Yan was sprinting away after getting out of everyone’s view when a familiar voice up ahead caught her attention.
“Sister Xin Yan.” Speaking this was a young girl dressed in rags hiding behind a tree. She’s only showing a part of her head with those curious eyes poking out.
“What are you doing here?!” Mo Xin Yan grew angry upon recognizing it was the dumb girl of the Monarch Manor.
Heart shrunk her head a little further behind the tree and sounded all wronged by the poor reception: “I heard the fighting sound in the front yard, I… I wanted to go see what’s happening…. But I know Mother wouldn’t like it so I’m just wondering what’s going on.”
Mo Xin Yan’s complexion got paler at the reminder. Her mood was already terrible, but the thought of the consequences only made it worse.
Biting those lips in annoyance, “How am I supposed to know what happened? If you want to know, you can go see for yourself.”
“But…” Heart lowered her head.
If I show myself before the public, Mother will be outraged at me….
I must’ve done something awful for Mother and Father not to come to see me for so many years. I don’t want to make it worse by being unruly.
“But… I should be good. Only by behaving will Mother not be angry.” Heart lifted her little head and showed the innocence in those eyes that didn’t understand the outside world.
Naturally this didn’t escape Mo Xin Yan’s sharp wittedness. It’s driving her crazy at the pure nature of this mentally damaged girl. But more than that, she’s very envious of Heart who managed to get adopted and such by sacrificing nothing.
Narrowing her eyes in with a burning annoyance, “Heart, do you know why Shifu hates you?”
The mentally damaged Heart tilts her head in confusion: “Why?”
I’ve been behaving myself, why does Mother hate me so much?
“Because…” Mo Xin Yan sneered and ticked her lips into a contemptuous smirk, “who told you to be so dumb? Shifu likes smart people, you are stupid and slow. Not only are you a stain on Shifu’s reputation, no one in the world likes you… you are the most disgusting person under the heavens. Shifu doesn’t even want to look at you because your very presence makes her want to strangle you!”
She hated Heart from the first time they met, not for any special reason, merely for the privilege given to this mentally damaged girl.
Under Mo Xin Yan’s humiliating tone and words, Heart’s expression naturally grew more miserable. She’s slow in the head due to the long years in that time stasis, but she’s by no means incapable of understanding anything. Those words hurt, and it hurts a lot coming from those whom she’s supposed to call family.
“I… am this much of an annoyance?” Heart lowered her head further as the tears slowly soaked that dirt under her feet.
