Same time at Zhao Mansion;
'Crash...'
'Clank….. '
Sounds were coming out of Zhao Li Ying's room.
Whenever she was angry, she tends to throw things all over the place. No matter how much expensive they were.
If someone looks at her now will be compelled to think, that she was brought up as a spoiled princess. Not in an orphanage.
"Yingying, what's going on?" her mother, Yu Meixiu asked worriedly while knocking on the door of Zhao Li Ying's room. "Open the door. What's the fuss are causing, early in the morning."
"Go away. I do not wish to talk to anyone right now."
Zhao Li Ying was irritated. No one here understands her. They want her to act like a naive countryside girl. How can she? She was not brought up in the countryside.
Thinking all this makes her blood boil and she continues to thrash her princess bedroom.
"Dear, let me in." Her mother pleaded. "Don't do anything that will harm you. Tomorrow is your big day."
Listening to her mother's words, Zhao Li Ying stopped and slowly she opened the door.
The whole room was a mess. No corner was left untouched that she had not destroyed.
This was the scene Yu Meixiu stumbled upon when Zhao Li Ying opened the door.
Yu Meixiu worriedly checked her daughter's hand if she was injured or not. After checking that she was alright. Yu Meixiu sighed and brought Zhao Li Ying to the other room.
"Tell me, what is it?" Yu Meixiu directly asked. Because she knows her daughter. She was short-tempered. And if a tiny thing didn't go according to her then it was very difficult to appease her.
"I want a big engagement banquet not a small one. I want whole world to know that I, Zhao Li Ying the precious princess of Zhao family is going to be engaged. My diamond ring should also be the one in whole world not a normal one" Zhao Li Ying complained like a child. "I wanted huge media coverage for my engagement party. It's my special day and, you all are not agreeing to it. I deserve this at least after suffering for 18 years in silence."
Tears were now started to fall like a waterfall from Zhao Li Ying's eyes.
Yu Meixiu couldn't see her daughter crying face.
They have to keep her in darkness away from all the high society for 18 years. That is why she easily gave in to her daughter's demands.
The whole city knew about bringing home the wrong girl as their daughter. But what they did not know is that someone ordered them to do so. Else why would she let her one and only daughter, Zhao Li Ying suffer out there?
So, in the end, she helplessly sighed. "Ok, don't cry. I will talk to your father."
" Now stop crying or else tomorrow instead of my beautiful daughter, there will be a beautiful panda," Yu Meixiu chuckled.
"Really! Mom, there will be media and, a big banquet," Zhao Li Ying became very excited. "Yes, now no one will say that I'm an uneducated countryside girl. I will show them, some people are better to be not messed with."
Yu Meixiu smiled helplessly over her daughter's excited face and took her to leave. Leaving her overjoyed daughter dancing on the bed.
Just as Yu Meixiu was gone. Zhao Li Ying's face was marred with a serious expression. She took her phone and typed something on it.
The message said only one word, 'DONE.'
A sinister smile marred on her serious face.
'The bigger it is the better it will easier for me to throw you out.'
'Heh! Tch, enjoy your last day Zhao Mei. After this, you will be out of my brother Xiang's, family's and, mine life.'
