Facing Tang Fangfei's provocation, Tang Qingxue seemed to return to her childhood, to those lonely and desperate days. Her mother had already passed away, and the Tang Family was under Lady Xue's control. She was weak and all alone, facing the sharp-tongued Lady Xue. Even in her dreams she was terrified, scared that Lady Xue would harm her, poison her as she had poisoned her mother. This deep fear had all but haunted her entire childhood. Although she was well past that now, at this moment, facing Tang Fangfei, the pain of having her throat clenched resurfaced in her heart. It was as if Tang Fangfei had transformed into the visage of Lady Xue, shouting and ordering her around, making her feel like a humble shadow of sorrow.
She shuddered slightly with fear but quickly regained her composure. Some people are like dogs; the more they chase you, the more you must fight back fiercely. Only then might they hesitate and not harm you.
