Chapter 683 The Difference Between Clouds and Mud 4
Xu Jun called again, but Xu Ai refused to answer the call. She didn't want to hear any explanation, and was even more afraid to hear any explanation.
"I want to go find my mother."
Qiao Xia nodded, "I'll go with you."
"No, you're pregnant, and you know her. If you act rashly, it'll be bad if you bump into her. I'll make an appointment with her at a coffee shop. Nothing will happen, don't worry."
Xu Ai did what she said and called Tang Ying to meet at a coffee shop near the community the next day.
She went early. Thinking about it, she and Tang Ying hadn't seen each other for several years.
After the car accident, when the first donation was taken by Tang Ying for gambling, she completely lost hope in Tang Ying. It's better to rely on yourself than on others. She relied on herself step by step to get to where she is today. Although Li Dan helped her, it was inseparable from her own efforts.
Tang Ying looked more haggard than she had imagined. Looking closely, she could see her aging more clearly. She had lost the brilliance of a few years ago. Alcohol and gambling had hollowed out her body.
"Little bitch, you finally came to see me." Tang Ying spoke ill of her, looking at her like an enemy, even worse than a few years ago.
She remembered that every time she got first place in the exam, Tang Ying would be furious, wishing that she was an idiot, mediocre and useless, and it would be best if she could become like her, with a bleak and sad life.
So, she learned to be smart.
She didn't do well in every exam, but she tried her best when it came to the entrance exam.
After finishing junior high school and compulsory education, she was not qualified to study anymore. Tang Ying didn't give her a penny. Fortunately, Qiao Guan was wise and secretly gave her a sum of money, enough to pay for her tuition and living expenses for three years of high school. She had kept this money very carefully. No matter how Tang Ying beat her, she didn't hand it over. This was her last hope, the last hope to escape from Tang Ying.
Because of this, she has always been as close to Qiao Xia as a sister.
Qiao Xia sold her jewelry to save money for her university tuition. Although the Qiao family treated her badly, she had a family background and the things left by Qiao's parents. She relied on Qiao Xia's financial support for half a year, and later she got a scholarship and found a job, which was not so difficult.
She paid a painful price for escaping Tang Ying for 18 years. She didn't even dare to go home during the Chinese New Year. Once she went home, she would be beaten and dragged by Tang Ying to talk and laugh with a group of people who wanted to push her into the dust.
So, she, a girl, signed up for Taekwondo and Judo, and practiced hard in the club.
When she was admitted to university, she naively thought that she could bring a good life to herself and her mother. Who knew that what she got was Tang Ying's worse harm.
"Only after seeing you did I know the difference between clouds and mud. You have always thought that I was like mud and dust, but I became a white cloud. I know you won't be proud of me, but I won't let you destroy me." Xu Ai looked at her. She was still afraid of Tang Ying, but she felt that those fears were insignificant compared to protecting herself and her children...
