The night grew deeper, and the rain outside intensified.
At ten o'clock in the evening, at the Shen family home.
Shen Mingyue walked into the house, soaked, as droplets of water plopped onto the floor.
"Why are you back so late? Have you eaten dinner?" Fu Shuya took a towel to dry her hair, but Shen Mingyue pushed her away.
"Mingyue?"
"I don't need your feigned kindness."
Shen Mingyue, having endured frustration all day, could only vent it on her family.
"How can you speak to your mom like that? Did I not teach you well?" Shen Heng's face darkened upon hearing this.
"You taught me to be a slave to Shen Wanxing? Don't you know how she bossed me around today? She made me do everything! When have I ever worked until this hour!" Shen Mingyue cried and yelled, "I am your daughter, I am mocked, and where does that leave your honor!"
Bang!
Shen Heng slammed the soup bowl down in front of her.
