"She said she loves Feng right but, how could she bear to hurt someone so dear to him? Isn't it normal that if you love a man, your love also extends to his family? So why is her's so different? Chen is Feng's brother, so how could she have the heart to poison that little boy?" Yang Zi asked angrily.

Even before she realised her feelings for Yifeng, she had already taken a liking to Chen. He was such a cute and lovable boy. With his level of politeness and humility he didn't look like someone raised in a filthy rich family, so how could she poison the brother of the man she claimed to love?

​​

"You want to know why Zhao Liying could hurt Chen feeling no remorse about it?" Mrs Yang asked rhetorically. "It is because she has loved him to a point of obsession. Her love for Yifeng has blinded her. For this reason she can do anything to get him, and that includes even poisoning or murdering someone," Mrs Yang said seriously. Her answer surprised Yang Zi.

"And that someone includes his family members as well?" Yang Zi asked in shock.

"Yes. That means just to achieve her aim she can kill you, me, Chen, Chairman Li, and every other person who possesses a threat to her," Mrs Yang replied in a serious tone.

"If she can go as far as killing Chen or Grandpa to achieve her aim, then I think she is sick in the head. She is crazy," Yang Zi exclaimed angrily.

"That is why I will advise you to be cautious around her since you are her biggest threat. She and her mother are both psychopath that can do anything to get the man they love so be careful or you might fall as a prey to them," Mrs Yang cautioned. She puts Yang Zi's right hand in her palms and caressed it affectionately. Yang Zi got very curious when her mum made mentioned of Mrs Zhao.

"Mum, have you known Mrs Zhao before I and Feng got together? You talked as if you had a misunderstanding with her before now," Yang Zi asked curiously. She became even more curious when her mum kept quiet on her.

"She hurt you in the past right?" Yang Zi asked, on the verge of slamming her hands against the bench. The thought that someone hurt her beloved mum in the past made her blood boil in anger.

"I have kept this a secret from everyone in the past nine years. I never mentioned the name of the lady whose spiteful words pushed me into attempting suicide back then," Mrs Yang said sadly. Remembering the past always made her unhappy, that is why she has always tried her best not to recall the incident that occurred nine years ago.

"Wait, mum? Are you saying Mrs Zhao is the heartless wench who in the company of her friends taunted you and abused you after dad's death? She is the one who pushed you into jumping off the bridge that day? This is unbelievable," Yang Zi said, in a mixture of anger and surprise.

In the past she has always thought that Mrs Zhao was a sophisticated and lovely lady, but her opinion changed the day she framed her mum. Hearing this revelation from her mum, she completely lost the last respect she had for Mrs Zhao.

"Hmm...," Mrs Yang trailed her gaze on her angry daughter.

"Knowing your temperament very well, I knew you would have tried to avenge me that is why I never mentioned her name to you but since it has come to this, I don't want to keep it a secret from you anymore. I don't want history to repeat itself," Mrs Yang said calmly.

Mum is right, I would have definitely included the Zhaos' in my list of those whom I should have taken revenge on if mum had told me that Mrs Zhao was the reason she almost ended her life and that of unborn Mi Er back then. I would have made life a living hell for them for daring to lay a finger on my mum.

Yang Zi thought, gritting her teeth as she tightened her hands into a fist.

"Mum, you should have told me this earlier. You shouldn't have kept it a secret from me," Yang Zi said, stroking her mother's hand lovingly.

In this entire world, she is the only who knows the heart-wrenching pains her mother went through back then. When she rescued her mum from drowning nine years ago, her mum was in a state of ruin after losing her husband at such a young age. She had given up on life saying what was the use of living when the love of her life was no more in this vast world.

She found a reason to live again when the nurse announced to her surprise that she was carrying a little bun inside her.

Yang Zi could still recall her mum's bewildered expression when the nurse disclosed this to her.

"I didn't tell you because I wanted to forget those painful days and also I didn't want you to carry my burden on your shoulders," Mrs Yang said, fighting the tears that were attempting to fall.

"Fighting for my mum can never be a burden to me. I love you so much mum and I can go to any length to protect and make those who have ever you hurt pay dearly. The Zhaos' are not an exception. As long as I put my mind to it I can still make them pay in the most horrible way ever, for hurting you and for also framing you," Yang Zi said angrily. She hugged her mum tenderly, seeing that she was at the verge of crying.

Nine years ago, that was the most painful year of their lives. It is a year they will never forget, no matter how hard they try to forget it.

Back then they both lost the most important people in their life, so how can they ever forget that? They moved on with their lives, but that doesn't mean they have forgotten that incident that almost ruined their lives.

"And I love you too, Zi Er, that is why I don't want to see you hurt. You and Mi Er are the only thing I have in this world. I can never live on if something bad happens to either of you," Mrs Yang embraced her tightly. Nine years ago, they were both left alone in this world by the people they loved most. After hearing the little girl's heartbreaking story, she decided to adopt her as an appreciation for saving her life and her unborn child.

After then, they only had each other. Since they both understood the pain of losing someone special in their lives they had empathised with each other. For a year, they had battled to forget their pain and moved on with their life.

Yang Mi's entry into the world served as a source of light to them. They gradually learned to live their lives normally following her arrival into their lives.

"Mum, you don't have to worry about my safety. I can protect myself. And also I won't be able to live on too if something terrible happens to you or Mi Er. I will take my life if ever that day was to come, but I am sure it won't," Yang Zi said, just to cheer her mum up.

"Hmm.., it will never come. My biggest wish is to witness you and Mi Er tie the knot with your beloved. I also want to carry my grandchildren so I am not allowed to die in ten or twenty years to come if I want to actualise my dream," Mrs Yang said, patting Yang Zi's back.

"And that will happen soon," Yang Zi said confidently as she pulled away from her mum's embrace. They stayed silent for some minutes, staring at those walking about the hospital.

"Mum, I am sorry if this question will make you upset, but I really want an answer to it," Yang Zi broke the silence as she shifted her gaze to her mum.

"What is it you are curious about? I can't afford to get mad at you so you can ask freely," Mrs Yang spoke. Her voice sounded so gentle.

"Why does Mrs Zhao hate you so much to the point that your existence irks her? I am asking this because it is only a crazy person who will detest someone for no just reason," Yang Zi asked curiously. She wanted to know the full story so she would know the action to take against them.

"She hated me because her husband once almost divorced her because of his love for me. Anyway, I have never believed he loved me, I guess he was obsessed or just lusted after my body," Mrs Yang said, trying to sound as nonchalant as ever.

"Zhao Liying's father loved you?" Yang Zi who never heard about this asked in awe. It never crossed her mind that her mum had that sort of relationship with the Zhaos'.
