"It feels like I have just listened to a script of some soap opera." Li Ming said as she looked through the rough sketches of some designs that Jin Jing had drawn.

"Soap what?" Jin Jing asked with a frown. She wasn't sure whether she should be amazed at the indifferent behavior of Miss Li and praise her or if just kicked that girl out of her shop.

"Soap Opera. You know the same sad typical stories of nearly every other person." Li Ming replied without even looking at her.

"Miss Li, you are so heartless. We just shared the sad story of our lives and you are acting like it means nothing." Jin Jing said in an irritated tone.

She was still not sure how she exactly ended up sharing their past with the strange girl whom her little brother had brought to their shop.

No one except her mother and little brother knew exactly what was the truth behind the corrupted words of Eldest Young Miss Lan which had spread across the Capital City of the Wang Empire, ruining their lives.

They never tried to explain themselves because there was no point even in trying. But for the first time in the past five years, she had let the truth out and that also in front of a complete stranger.

According to her brother, the girl was supposed to be a kind-hearted and understanding, but what she was seeing in front of her was a cold and indifferent Young Miss of some high noble family.

She initially was not going to answer any of Miss Li's questions but her brother's constant nagging made her to be at least polite towards their guest.

But the next thing she knew, she was already spilling out everything about their dark past. There was something about this strange young girl which made her heart believe that she and her family could believe her (Li Ming).

She even let Miss Li see her last few designs that she had succeeded in protecting. But all she received, in the end, was her cold comment about how her past sounded like the story of every other person. Though there was no lie in her words but again she didn't need to be so heartless.

"Then what do you want me to do? Should I cry or pretend to be sad? Is there even a point in that?" Li Ming asked as she finally looked up from the designs and stared at Jin Jing.

Her eyes were challenging and there was no trace of any kind of humor in them.

"..."

Everyone was at a loss of words. The young girl was actually right. There was no point in her being sad over their unfair past.

"See! Even you agree with my point." Li Ming said as she slightly shook her head before once again returning to her task of examining the designs.

Only heavens knew exactly what she was looking in those sketches for the past half an hour.

"But Miss Li, what made you believe us? Everyone else believed in what Miss Lan told them but you are the first one who believed us and not her." This time it was Madam Xia, Jin Jing and Xiao Sheng's mother, who asked the question.

Madam Xia was a woman in her late thirties. Though she was still young but the harshness of her life had taken a toll on her body. She looked tired and a little too old for her age.

Jin Jing was seventeen and actually pretty. But just like her mother she also looked tired. Her body was also weak despite the fact that their family wasn't poor enough to not afford at least two times of proper food a day.
