She turned around and walked off.
Xu's mom chased after her. "Xiaoya… Xiaoya… my daughter, I'm begging you, don't be angry…"
She stopped and looked back, but only at Xu's father. This old man—he made his will right in front of her, without the slightest bit of hesitation.
No matter how you look after him, how much you give in, in his eyes, it's all just what you're supposed to do—
The old Xu cleared his throat with a cough.
She was very calm. "Dad, did you ask my opinion before you had me? Do you know whether I wanted to be your child? If I had a choice, I'd rather be reborn as a pig than be your daughter!"
She strode off.
Behind her came a stream of curses that didn't stop. "You beast… damned beast, why don't you just drop dead? You all saw that, right? This inhuman thing, a bastard who deserves to be struck by lightning…"
"Someone who should get hit by a car the minute they walk out the door…"
"…"
A fine rain kept drifting down from the sky.
