In Pei Shishi's house, she was so calm and fearless, as though none of her cousin's words could harm her.
However…
Once she exited the villa and got in a taxi, her entire body slumped down.
Her calm expression was instantly replaced by panic and sorrow.
Her nonchalance instantly vanished.
She was like a soldier who had been defeated with no hope of victory.
"Miss, miss. Are you all right?"
The driver's words pulled her back from her thoughts.
Slightly hazy, she shook her head. "I'm fine…"
"But miss… you are crying…"
The driver watched the passenger cry through the rearview mirror, thinking that she had likely encountered something very saddening.
"Ah?"
She raised her hand to touch her face when she heard this.
Only then did she realize that she had unknowingly started crying.
"I'm fine. Sand entered my eyes moments ago."
