Father’s love

Wei looked up at the house she had grew up in and sighed. This was the house she lost her parents, her mother in a car crash and her father to indifference. This building held nothing but the pain of her past, all her lonely nights, being abused by her step mother and ignored by her father. Her father, her mind flashed the image of the domineering Lang Ru. She hadn't seen him in since she moved out five years ago, she had called him twice since then. The first time to invite him to her college graduation but he didn't attend and the second time was last week she asked to meet. Hoo Ru was the only one she had kept in contact with but now even that relationship was broken. A deep pain pierced her heart as the memories flood her mind. "No" she thought she would not be defeated by the past. She had to face them along with the man who lived within the walls. Taking a deep breath she closed her eyes to steel her nerves and walked up to the door knocking. After a moments a servant answered the door.

"Eldest Miss!"

Wei looked at the smiling servant smiled broadly grabbed her and pulled her in for a hug.

"Aunt Din, you're still here." She cried not letting her go. Aunt did had been with their family since she was a baby and was one her mother closest friends. She had taken care of Wei after her mother died and Wei considered her like a mother.

"Where else would I be, my roots are planted her, who can uproot me?" she replied laughing parting from Wei she looked up to she Wei had started crying.

"I asked Hoo Ru for you, she told me you left 4 years ago, I thought I would never see you again." Wei replied in between sobs.

"who is this?" a shrill voice interrupted the emotional reunion. A middle age woman smartly dressed walked over to Wei looking at her from head to toe she frowned.

"This is the mistress of the house, the eldest miss." Aunt Din replied proudly.

"You!" The woman replied. "If I don't get Lang to fire you."

"Stepmother no don't.." but before she could finish Aunt Din replied.

"I simply stated the truth Madamn Quin."

"Mrs.Ru, how many times have I told you to call me."

"I know only one Mrs.Ru, she was a beautiful woman, how can I look at a ugly woman like you and give her title." Wei looked on chuckling secretly she had always enjoyed Aunt Din verbal battles with her step mother.

"You!." Mrs.Ru cried livid, still she could do nothing to Aunt Din, the house belonged to Wei mother it was stipulated in the will that Aunt Din would stay in the house as long as she wanted.

"Come on Wei let's catch up, Mr.Ru isn't back yet." Wei nodded she grabbed Aunt Din hand and squeezed it. She knew she only started a fight with her stepmother for her sake, this was a trick Aunt Din used in the past.

"Stepmother see you later." Wei called out as she followed Aunt Din laughing. However Wei's joy was short lived, as soon as they sat down Aunt Din's face grew somber.

"You shouldn't have come back Wei..." she began but before she could finish the door opened walking through the door was her father Lang Ru.
