"Open this door, Liling . Who do you expect to do the dishes? You ungrateful wretch - I clothed you,fed you and sheltered you. Now you dare disobey me?",Mrs Rian Go shouted out angrily banging on the door when she heard no response.

"Liling,get out of this room now before i----"

Slowly the door opened and infornt of her stood already crying Liling,unfortunately she wasn't sleeping like her aunt taught.

"How dare you insult me that way?Its so unfortunate my uncle dies not know the type of woman he married," Liling said with every disgust in her voice.Seeing the effects of her words all written over her aunt's face,the girl smiled inwardly

"You little witch---- " her aunt shouted angrily as she slapped her so hard that she feel on the floor."---Get up now. You don't expect Ruo Ruo or Hualing to clean up this place.

Saying this she stormed out leaving the eleven year old girl on the floor with tears all wetting her face.

"Look Ruo Ruo .Am in tears and on the floor. Help me out " Hauling said in a mocking tone letting out a laughter that filled the whole building.

PRESENT DAY

"Waking up from another dream?"

Raising up her head from the pillow,Ying Yue saw her foster father,Mr Ying Keung walked into her room .Still in his sleeping robe, he carried a glass of warm milk which he placed on her bedside drawer.

Arranging her hair properly,she managed to greet him dispute her low voice. Thanking him too for the milk that had become a ritual for him to do,she drank it before placing the glass back on the drawer.

"I saw her again", Ying Yue said sounding more better than before

" You mean your aunt," he asked sitting down beside her on the bed. He was already used to the fact that she had dreams about her past which mainly contained her aunt. The main reason he wasn't surprised on seeing her look terrible on entering her room.

"Am sure you will get over it, as long as you will preoccupy yourself and alive too. But as for now you have to freshen up and get down for breakfast."

Saying this he got up from her bad with the glass and walked out immediately to avoided her usual complains.

Finally dressed up in a light green top with matching trouser and a bag as the required attire for work. Getting to the dining area for breakfast as her father instructed,she met him all dressed and sipping his coffee.

"You seem to be going out," she said handling her bag to one of the servants behind her while she sat down.

"Yes! I have a meeting"

Knowing very well what he talked about,she decided to shut her mouth in order to avoid any argument. However that was not what her father wanted as he so much hated her silent treatment at times like this.

"Your not going to say anything?", he asked trying to make her talk.

" Dad you know what am going to say you won't like it. But if you want to hear it, I will share with you. Don't be surprised if those you do business with betray you.Am not yet ready to lose anyone else so be careful",Ying Yue finally spoke out her mind.

This point of the discussion has always been a torment to Ying Keung. Back when she was young and brought up the topic, he always saw it as some unreasonable discussion. But it made more meaning to him, still he could not get out easily most especially as a lord.

"I will see you later", she said as she stood up from the chair and picked her bag too from where it was placed.

" Have a nice day at work. Lin will take you to work and this time please don't argue with me," that was all he could say since he wasn't ready for a quarrel.
