Bai Yun's life was not supposed to be like this . She didn't know when that it was already become a habit for her father to beat her , to slap her , to shove harsh words onto her face .
Ever since she was a child , she only heard the same thing over and over again .
She was a child of a mistress .
She was not supposed to born into this world .
She was a stain to this world .
People often accuse her mother of being a mistress . A cheap woman . A woman who only wants money and power . A woman who stole the real wife position .
However , she could never understand those accusation . What did her mother did so wrong in her life ? Is it her mother's fault that she fall in love with a man who already had a child ?
She could never deny the fact that her mother was not her father's first wife . But she also knew that her mother didn't steal her father from anyone .
Her eldest stepsister's mother already died by the time her mother fall in love with her father . This fact can be proven by her birth .
This year , she turn 21 years old while her eldest stepsister is 24 years old . She heard that her stepsister's mother died when she turns 2 years old . Meanwhile , her father and mother have her when her eldest stepsister turns 3 .
They even get married when Bai Yun only turns 5 just to respect her father's previous wife's death . So how can those people said those things to her and her mother ?
Her stepsister was loved by her father so much so that he indulge her in everything . She never saw her father raise his hand towards her and she even has a perfect name .
Bai Lixue , even the meaning is pretty and pure as snow unlike her name Yun that only means lotus flower .
Lotus flower ? Is this a joke ? It is a pathetic joke in her life . Just because of her name , she was considered as a white lotus while her eldest stepsister was pretty and pure in everyone's eyes .
Her father's favouritism can be seen just by their name . Her eldest stepsister's name had two meaning but how can she only had one . Lixue vs Yun . Even a random passerby can see this difference .
She tried to get close with her stepsister but only met with her cold gaze . Her eyes only remind her of how pathetic she is . She's already sick with those accusation from all kind of people , does she need to endure this again ? Absolutely no !
The accusations and the indifference brought a seed of hatred in her heart . However , back then her father was not that cruel . He only loved her stepsister much more than her but at least she still get treated as his daughter , she get what her eldest stepsister get , she still get his hugs , his affections , his kind words .
One day , she met with an accident that make her hate her so called sister . She's only getting back from school and she encounter the three person infront of the staircase .
Her mother was crying pitifully , her father was slapping her until her mouth bleeds and her eldest stepsister only watched the scene with folded arms and cold gaze .
She tried to prevent her father from hurting her mother more but only to get pushed by him . At the end of the day , she begged her stepsister to stop their father but her words ..
Her words ... !
She still remember that moment . With a cold eyes and a smirk on her pretty face , she spoke with an undisturbed attitude .
" Why should I .. ? Are we close ? No ! Is she my mother , no ! Are you my sister ? Also no ! Don't get your hopes up in this house , if you can't endure , leave . It's not like anyone would pity your bitchy mother .. "
With that words , she left the scene and lived her daily lives as usual . Her mother suffered from the beating and had to be warded in the hospital for weeks . For years , she endured everything .
When people accuse her of being a white lotus , she told herself to be patient . When people accuse her and her mom as being shameless , as being a b*tch , as being a greedy people who only wanted power and money , she told herself she would work hard to change their opinions .
But when her mother said that all she did was trying to be kind to her stepsister , to try to be a mother to her but instead her stepsister accuse her mother of trying to hurt her with poisons and ended up telling that to their father .
She and her mother both know how much her father value her stepsister . How can he let his wife hurt his precious daughter . Without asking an explanation from her mother , he beat her instead .
Is this fair , huh ?!
It's unfair !
She was tired with it !
She's tired of being a shadow !
She's tired of enduring all these humiliation !
Not even once , she tried to argue with her stepsister , not even once she tried to stole anything , not even once she harm her stepsister but what did she get ?!
A humiliation !
An accusation !
An unfair treatment !
If Bai Lixue wanted to play this kind of game , then she Bai Yun can play this game too !
Just because she's keeping quiet , doesn't mean she's a pushover !
Bai Lixue , your good days are coming to an end !
