Desperation and Passion

After struggling to pay attention and stay awake in her classes, Yu Rou managed to endure until lunchtime.

"Sister Rou, did something happen to you? I noticed that you were dozing off during class. This is unprecedented…" Xia Jingyi asked her after they sat down for lunch.

"It's a long story…" Yu Rou sighed.

"If you don't want to say it…"

"No, I'll tell you, since you're somewhat related now." Yu Rou said, and she proceeded to explain to them what had happened yesterday and how her mother forbade her from seeing Yuan.

Cough! Cough!

"What?!" Xia Jingyi almost choked on her drink after listening to Yu Rou, and she slammed the desk in anger.

"How can she do that to you and your brother— her own children?! I have never seen such despicable people before! Ah… I'm sorry for yelling at your parents, Sister Rou, but I just can't remain calm after hearing what they did…" Xia Jingyi said.
