247 flashback to earlier.

Sara looked at Cixi with shock written all over her face. "Miss....Chang... Yu's parents killed... grandparents? She stuttered in disbelief. 

She had never expected that at all!

"Isn't that enough reason to hate her?" Cixi asked in-between tears.

Sara staggered up and moved closer to Cixi. 

"It...it really is true?" As much as she tried to not believe it, she really couldn't help it if it was the truth.

"Would I make up such stories? Her parents did that. And she couldn't stop them. How do you expect me to see her and act normal? Do you even expect me to listen to whatever nonsense she has to say? But you....you had to bring her here. In front of me!"

Cixi sounded extremely hurt as she spoke with tears running down her eyes and down to her cheeks. 

Sara could not control it and also found herself crying with her Aunt.

Was this the reason why her father had been living this way? Was that why he was always sad?
