Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: how dare you

They soon arrived at cemetery, her heart was heavy but

she strode out of the car and walked in, the attendant

brought her to her father's grave, Qingxia's fingers

traced the intricate carvings on her father's head stone,

the cool granite a stark contrast to the warmth of her

tears as the scent of damp earth and fresh flowers

enveloped her

She looked with a heavy heart and graced her eyes over

the grave, her eyes well up but they're not just tears of

sadness, they're also tears of anger and hurt, she

thought of the pain her father caused her mother, the

abandonment, the betrayal "Mom always cried herself to sleep, she was always

sleeping on an empty stomach because of the new Li

family Madam" she raised her fair slender hands to

wipe her tears

"How can I bear to forgive such a man, he hurt all of us

with his own groggy hands", she covered her eyes and

wept, the driver was stunned

'Where is the arrogant princess that was here just now'

"You old man, you made a terrible mistake you left your

wife, and me and junxi, Xiaxia is hurt …dad hurt Xiaxia,

I'm upset" Qingxia cried out and pointed at her father

or his grave. The driver's eyebrows furrowed hearing her call herself

xiaxia [a more casual name used by Qingxia's family]

"I came to hurt you more with this wine, forgive me but

you deserve it" she glanced at the driver and he

brought the wine to her, he opened it and she collected

it from him, she downed a few gulps

"You brought tiny ants to our sweet home dad; I'll

return the favor" she said then raised the wine above

the grave

The wine poured on the grave.

The driver's eyes were opened wide

Qingxia turned to leave and the driver followed

They sat in the car "Where to Miss Li" he smiled nervously but there was

no reply so they both stayed quiet then a piercing

Chinese pop music broke the silence, his phone rang, he

panicked in embarrassment, it was from the chief

security of the Li family,

"Ok sir, affirmative, yes sir, ok sir" was heard he glanced

at her through the mirror her expression was still glum

he started the car and locked the doors of the car and

started driving

"I haven't said where to go why are you driving, how

insolent stop the car" Qingxia said coldly it sent shivers

down his spine but he didn't resist he slowly pressed

the acceleration pad They drove faster and faster, and faster "Who sent you!

Who gave you orders!" she demanded an answer

Pak!

She slapped him from behind

"Madam please behave"

"Behave?!, who the fuck sent you" she screamed loud

in his ear

"Li family" he said back

She widened her eyes and hit him 3 more time

Sooner or later, they arrived at the Li family mansion

Three maids came to drag her out of the car

What an insult!

She began to hit them all and successfully beat them "I can walk on my own" she dusted her shoulder and

fixed her dress, gently racing her fingers through her

hair, she looked even dazzling than before, it was

appealing to the eye her slender legs flowed down the

dress, every step stronger than the last. she flicked her

hair and butler wang welcomed her but was a bit

worried, he treated her Like his own daughter and felt a

Little guilty as he was aware of her father's disloyalty, he

looked at her with great admiration her arrogance was

forced out by her past encounters but she managed to

remain that unreachable aura, that elegance, that

authority she maintained it giving her the name

'arrogant little princess'
