Rong had decided not to show up for breakfast because she didn't know how to face her family, most especially Lijuan. She also wanted to prepare herself mentally for when she was going to meet her father who was going to scold her for acting that way in public.
She stood by her window and stared at the garden outside. The place used to be the hang out spot of the three sisters back then. They would always go there after school, gossip their classmates or talk about movies and laugh the entire evening until it was time for dinner.
She had really liked having two younger sisters. But she had been silly. She treated her sister awfully. Now, she wondered how Lijuan had lived all these years. If Lijuan had really stolen it, she wouldn't have cared how she had lived.
A knock on the door brought her back to reality. The family was eating so she thought it was probably the maid.
