Xu Mey's past made her a selfish person. She never thought of herself to be selfless. Other than a few people in her life, nobody gave her a reason to be selfless. Mother Ye was like her in this aspect. Mother Ye was selfish when it came to her family. But unlike Xu Mey, Mother Ye made her selfishness to turn into a storm inside of her. And now that exact storm was destroying her own inner peace.
With a filial, obedient, and most importantly, astute son like Ye Jie, one could hardly not want to be selfish. But it doesn't explain the fact that why doesn't she want to see her own son happy?
Xu Mey shook her head to get rid of all these thoughts. 'It's all Sensei's fault!' She groaned and looked at the long forgotten laptop in her lap. There were plenty of emails waiting to be read but a particular one caught her attention.
