Present Day
Qing's POV
I have never been more proud of myself, my roots and my parents ; more than today.
I actually never thought about how fortunate I was to be borne into the Wang family when I was growing up. I even hated it, a little then, because I didn't like how my background affected the people around me. Most of the people I knew, looked at me with two very distinct eyes. The first, looked at me as if I had the symbol of money and power, stamped on my forehead and they could get something from me because of it. The second, looked at me with obvious distaste and disrespect. They thought that I didn't have any ability of my own and was just riding on my parents coat tails. These were the two types of people I had around me and I hated both.
That's why, I had such a limited real best friends up until I met Dayu . That's why, I only have two best friends since middle school; Min Mei and Qi Zhou, because they were the only ones who didn't try to take advance of me and my position all the time we knew each other.
And that's why, I didn't really appreciate my lineage. I didn't have good experience with most people because of who I was and who my family was. I resented my family and my parents a little; even though I loved them to bits.
It wasn't until I met Dayu, that I guess, I began to change little by little. All those hard times, while growing up; I blamed them on my lineage, my family ; I thought it was because I was born a Wang that I encountered these hateful types of people. I never thought, that it was not me. It was not my family nor was it my bloodline's fault.
Some people were just like that; always looking for an opportunity to take advantage of others or looking down ok others. And I happen to meet quiet a lot of them.
It hadn't occurred to me, that I was only ever surrounded by people who also have family money and status though not like mine; that I never actually mingled with people from middle class and working class families. I didn't realised it, until I met Dayu.
He was the one who opened my eyes into seeing the world in a whole new light. Through Dayu, I began to notice that there were a lot of other people who wouldn't be affected by my money, my status or my power.
The realisation really hit me hard, when Dayu left my side. The impact fell on me fully that day; when I finally knew who Dayu was and just how much of a gem he was.
Dayu changed me and my perspective. Since meeting Dayu, I had accepted my bloodline wholeheartedly. I began to embrace being a Wang. There's nothing to be ashamed of. It's actually something I should really be proud of. I could do a lot things with the money, the status and try power that I have. I could help a lot of people. I could persuade a lot of people to lend their hands as well. It's not a curse. It's a blessing.
And today; I think, was my most proudest moment being a Wang. Why? Because I had the best parents ever.
My ma and baba had been all over Dayu, the moment we arrived.
