PAINFUL SLAP

- Ruby Royalties -

"Urgh! My head hurts!" Fei ZhangWei was having a hard time getting up. Her head was floating high.

"Young Miss, you're awake. Please drink this hangover soup. This was the order of Madam Fei for you."

Hearing the word 'Madam Fei', Fei ZhangWei froze.

'Oh shit! My mom for sure was-'

Her thoughts were startled as she heard a domineering voice around.

She looked up and saw her mother.

"Mom! I-"

WHACK!

Fei XinLei walk towards her and slapped her hardly.

Tears uncontrollably flowed from her burning skin. Her dizzy head was awakened by a hard slap.

"M....Mom I'm s...sorry.... It's just Ju Ri and-"

"I hope you think about the consequences before doing that." Fei XinLei tried to lower her voice.

"Maid, put the soup there and go out."

"Ah, yes.. Madam." Servant LingLing went outside and closed the door.

Fei ZhangWei reached out for her mother's hand but she removed it away.

Fei XinLei's heart was crying as she saw her daughter in pain. Still, she remained unmoved from the outside so that she could discipline ZhangWei well.

"Did you know that your grandfather almost disown you?! Just one night at the bar and looked what happened! The whole mansion is in chaos! I even kneeled down to father to save your life!"

ZhangWei cried continuously. She knew she was wrong. Howebeit, she needed to defend herself.

"Mom, it's..... because of that vicious woman...."

Fei XinLei even roused up with anger. She held her chin and spoke to her.

"Did I raise you to be a weakling? How did you let yourself down with just a mere girl? Who told you that Feis are the ones to be bullied on?!"

After hearing Fei XinLei's remarks, ZhangWei's hatred towards Cai ShenYi welled up.

'Cai ShenYi.... you humiliated me up to this point, I'm going to make sure you will pay for it.'

Fei XinLei stood up.

"Hao, ask forgiveness to your grandfather. Don't you dare repeat this mistake! Pray that there's no pictures of you from that night!" She then left her room.

Fei ZhangWei was already clear-headed. She walked towards the mirror and saw her reflection.

"You Zhang Feng. I'm going to make you realize that I'm much better than that cheap ShenYi."

Then she walked towards the bathroom and changed herself.

...

After being forgiven by her grandfather, Fei ZhangWei received a call from Wang ShiShi.

"Why did you call?" ZhangWei snorted at her.

"Haven't you notified about the camp Zhang Feng arranged?"

"What are you talking about?" Fei ZhangWei's eyes shoned as she heard his name.

She checked her laptop and saw nothing.

"Oh, too sad for you, you're not included." Wang ShiShi predicted that she haven't received any messages.

"H-How can you say that I'm not? I received the invitation! It's just, I woke up too late."

"Okay! However, the receptionist said that the participants in the camp were already set but guess what, I bribed her and luckily, three backed out and that makes us fulfill the spot!" Wang ShiShi laughed on the other line.

"I'm already packed. And Ju Ri too! Let's go tomorrow morning!" ShiShi added.

"Alright. Come at my place and wait for me." Fei ZhangWei immediately tell Servant LingLing to pack her things.

"Hao! I'll get going! She you tomorrow."

- Huairou Beach's Parking Lot -

Thump!

Thump!

Yu Li's heart was pounding nervously as the loud sound of banging was getting clearer.

'Oh god, I hope there's no ghost here.'

"Help! I'm locked!" A tiny voice was echoing in her ears.

Yu Li gasped. 'Don't tell there's really a baby ghost here?'

Baam! Baam!

Yu Li conquered her fears and with her instincts, she continued to follow the sound.

She walked nervously but still pacing in the normal speed. After few seconds, her feet brought her in front of the car's back comparment.

She tapped the hood of the compartment and talked. She felt that there's someone inside.

"Hello? Is there really someone inside?"

A loud bang responded her.

'Oh, I'm not hallucinating, there's someone inside!'

She she started to panic. There's really a life inside! She wanted to call for help, but she was worried that it was too late to save someone inside.

She removed her hairpins and try to unlock the keyhole.

'Please work this time.'

"Just wait a little, wait patiently!" She tried to coax the person inside.

She knew that the person inside could die from suffocation in no time.

After few minutes.....

Click!

The compartment opened!

She hurriedly pushed it up and opened widely the hood.

A pale yet still conscious child appeared in her eyesight.

"A...aunty?" The child was having a hard time to breathe.
