Chapter 14 The Arranged Marriage
"No, I refuse." I shook my head in panic. Tears kept falling.
"No one is making you marry right now. Stop crying like that. You look pathetic."
Xu Yunru showed a trace of reluctance at my trembling, but her eyes hardened again within seconds.
"Do not think of yourself as the Song family's young miss. This is the Liu family. They do not mind your background. What more do you want?"
Anyone could say pretty words. A truly good marriage would never fall to me.
The Liu family had declined but still counted as wealthy.
The one marrying me was not the second young master but the eldest.
His wife had died five years ago. They had one son.
The eldest young master of the Liu family was known for his affairs. He had changed bed partners countless times in five years.
Now that his child was older, he suddenly wanted a stepmother.
Seeing that I stayed silent, Xu Yunru stopped talking.
"The marriage is set. Crying will not help. You will marry this summer."
She left without a trace of attachment.
She looked distant and indifferent.
I felt cold inside.
I had been through this so many times that I thought the scars no longer hurt.
I really wanted to know if there were mothers in this world who hated their own children this much.
