The Devil who devoured Snow White

Chapter 47 - Her Mother

Tears filled Lu Mengjie's eyes the moment she heard that her papa prepared everything for them before he left. During her childhood, after Xia Sinian's death, she has always thought that her mother hated her since she was not his daugter. During those times, the person who became her pillar was her real father. If not for her papa, her relationship with her mother might end up breaking into pieces. She might end up hating her brother for stealing their mother all to himself even if he didn't mean it. It was all thanks to her papa, he was the reason why her relationship with her mother and brother never broke apart. It was because of that they continued to stay close with each other.

Li Bingbing reached out and wiped the tears that flowed down her daughter's cheeks as she softly said, "my daughter is growing up."

A small chuckle escaped her lips. She brushed off her tears and tried to calm down. She rarely cried. She has always showed a strong façade in front of others. She never liked crying.

"Now then, if you didn't have sex with Si Hongqi, to whom did you had one?" Her mother asked out of no where, raising a brow. She was not being considerate of her daughter at all. She was not going to comfort her but... The sudden change of topic successfully stopped Lu Mengjie's tears.

She gulped nervously and averted her eyes from her mother's inquiring gaze. There's no escaping her.

"Don't tell me that... it was a one-night stand?" She crossed her arms as she continued with her question. Her scrutinizing gaze never left her daughter's figure even if the girl was avoiding to make an eye contact.

"Something like that…" Lu Mengjie finally answered but she didn't give her the full truth of course. She never has. Although rigth now, she was worried that her mother might kick her out if she learned that she slept with a man that was almost twice her age. She took out the necklace and decided to wear it just to give her strength against her mother. Aside from that, she was missing her papa and wearing it has always made her feel that he was close. She returned the ceramic jewelry box after.

Li Bingbing swept her gaze at the necklace she wore, not saying a word. She sighed, "oh well, that's your decision." She shrugged. "Just make sure that you know what you're doing, okay? You are old enough to do what you want."

Uh… her mother was really a peculiar one. She thought that she would inquire more of what happened or maybe even look at her with disappointment.

"You can do what you want, keep as many men you want just don't be someone else's mistress, okay? Never degrade yourself to that level." She patted her head before she stood up. "And here I thought you'll end up drugging Si Hongqi."

Lu Mengjie rolled her eyes. "As if it'll work on him."

"So you tried?" Li Bingbing looked at her in amusement.

"There was no effect," she sighed in disappointment, averting her eyes to cover the truth from her mother. "Before I can even make him drink it, he already saw through my plans."

"He's very meticulous after all." She chuckled. "Is this why you're doubting your feelings for him?"

"He rejected me after I confessed."

"Again?" Li Bingbing didn't look surprised anymore.

"…"

"So that's the reason why you were finally pushed into having a one-night stand, huh? I guess you weren't able to tolerate all that pent-up sexual frustrations you have for him."

"Uh… no… that's not it..." she trailed off.

"You're a 23 years old virgin, of course you'll be hornier than anyone!"

"..." She massaged the bridge of her nose. "Mom, I want to get some rest, please leave," she replied, finally facing her mother with a blank look on her face.

"Did you at least have a good time last night?"

"Mom…" She stood up and began pushing Li Bingbing towards the door.

"How many rounds did you have? Was his dick big?"

"…"

"Never mind the dick size. Was he at least handsome?"

"..."

There were times where Lu Mengjie would usually think if she really was her mother and this was one of those times. How could she be shamelessly asking her daughter such things?
