Chapter 9: A white lotus
Luo Huian had been doted on by her fathers from the very day she came into their world. She was pampered, respected and treated with care—— never once did her fathers raise their voices on her. Even her father who was known for his sternness called her 'His Little Princess.'
They treated her like she was a doll made out of porcelain as if she would break at the smallest touch. So forgive her if she was not used to being yelled at and scolded all the time.
Her predecessor might be willing to lower her head and suck up to this woman who played the role of an absent mother really wonderfully. She however would not lower her head or her attitude.
After all, her face was too beautiful to be lowered. People should be thankful that she was letting them gaze at such a masterpiece for free.
"You——"
"I have not a single penny in my pockets," Luo Huian interrupted Luo Yeqing who was about to scold her even more. "Since I am broke. I think it will be foolish of me to even stay in the hospital and get a debt on my head which I cannot repay for the time being. I may be the bottom feeder but I have a thing called Brain as well. Surprise? Are you happy?" Luo Huian asked with a mocking smile on her lips.
She was not even sure of how things worked in this world yet, it would indeed be stupid of her to get a debt on her shoulders. Her father, Luo Tingfeng had taught her that there were three things that she should always avoid——
1) Beauties.
2) Alcohol.
3) Debt.
According to her father, these things were the cause of chaos and Luo Huian agreed with him.
She then turned to look at the mer nurse who stood in the ward with his mouth hanging open and quirked a brow. She said, "What are you waiting for? Go and bring the discharge documents. If you don't bring it and try to push me to pay for the service that I did not use, I am telling you I will not be able to take out a single coin."
The mer nurse peeked at Luo Yeqing whose expression was ashen. It was clear that she did not want this to happen, however, what was he supposed to do? Luo Huian was an adult and if she wanted to leave then he could not stop her.
Luo Huian followed the gaze of the mer nurse and then remarked casually, "Eh? What are you looking at Madam Luo for? Did you not hear? I am no longer a member of the Luo family. Doesn't that mean that I can make all the decisions for myself now? I am the dictator of my own life now. "
"By looking at her like this are you not going against her orders?" Luo Huian said to the mer nurse who shivered. He immediately bowed his head and then said, "Please wait for two minutes, I will return with the discharge documents." He then escaped the ward as if someone was chasing after him.
Luo Yeqing never in her life expected that one day Luo Huian would call her —— Madam Luo instead of mother or mom. Her eyes widened as she looked at her daughter who seemed like a stranger to her now.
She was no longer as gloomy as she used to be and now there was an air of confidence around Luo Huian which she lacked in front of her sister.
Qin Qiu who stood next to Luo Yeqing saw the dissatisfaction on his wife's face and decided to make use of it. If he could raise Luo Yeqing's dissatisfaction toward Luo Huian even more, then he wouldn't have to worry about the Luo family falling into the hands of someone else other than his daughter.
Everything would belong to Luo Qingling!
He curled his lips in a concerned smile and then said to Luo Huian, "I know that you are angry with your mother, Huian. But this is not how you should be reacting, you after all did something bad. If you throw a tantrum like this, you will only make your mother angry."
He made it sound like Luo Huian was throwing a tantrum in front of them after her credit cards were blocked and she was thrown out of the Luo family as a punishment.
Sure enough when Qin Qiu said those words Luo Yeqing's expression turned annoyed from sympathetic.
"Do I look angry?" Luo Huian questioned the mer who spoke just now, she knew that this mer was Luo Yeqing's concubine and the proud father of Luo Qingling.
Qin Qiu stiffened as he looked at Luo Huian who seemed rather calm. He glanced at his wife before turning to look at Luo Huian and remarked, "Huian, I am only trying to give you a suggestion as your elder… there is no need for you to get so tetchy with me——"
"What elder? Who's elder? Woah, there my guy. With that ugly face of yours, don't you feel ashamed to call yourself my elders? Look at my enchanting face and then take a look at yourself in the mirror," Luo Huian arched a brow and tipped her chin up. "I don't even know you, why are you eager to form connections with me?" Since she indeed had no memories of this family, it was better to clear it up from the beginning.
"Luo Huian!" Luo Yeqing shouted at Luo Huian believing that the latter was being disrespectful towards her second husband. This was nothing new as she had seen Luo Huian getting angry at Qin Qiu all the time when she was at home.
"Don't you dare shout at my daughter!" Ye Shun shouted back at Luo Yeqing as he stood in front of Luo Huian.
When Luo Yeqing heard his words, she growled and questioned, "Are you saying that she is not my daughter and only yours?"
"For her to call you mother, you should have done something for her! I didn't see you taking the role of a mother for my daughter!" Ye Shun snapped at his wife angrily. "Other than scolding my daughter and yelling at her what have you done for her?"
Qin Qiu was really happy when he saw the two of them fight, but outwardly he pretended to be troubled and said to Luo Yeqing politely, "There is no need for you to fight with Brother Shun and Huian. She just woke up... I am fine." As he spoke he shed two tears causing everyone to be speechless. Even his daughter knew that her father was only pretending.
