Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 3 - The Struggling Girl

By the time they'd returned home, it was already past 9 p.m, so Sheng Jiaoyang ended up sitting on the bed while she watched Xu Qing busying herself with the housework. Although their house was small, there were still a lot of daily chores that needed to be completed.

In her memory, when her mother had taken her away to live in the villa, her grandfather had ordered Aunt Zhang to take care of their three daily meals, and another full-time housemaid to manage the villa. She'd never seen her mother do any housework before.

The current mother in front of her was incredibly ordinary. Her personality was rather weak, but it was worthy of admiration. Moreover, not every mother was capable of raising her child alone.

"Jiaojiao, I've already filled the bath with water for you; quickly go bathe!" Xu Qing's voice interrupted Sheng Jiaoyang's train of thought.

Later that night, Sheng Jiaoyang found herself waking up due to being too hot, and once she'd opened her eyes, she was so scared that she almost jumped in the air. At the end of the bed there was a shadow, but because of her myopia, the shadow was so hazy that it appeared particularly strange.

Her hand quickly grabbed her cell phone to turn on the flashlight, and as soon as it lit up the shadow, it turned out that it was just Xu Qing.

Sheng Jiaoyang pat her chest and unhappily asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?" It's the middle of the night! What is she doing sitting at the end of the bed instead of sleeping?

Fortunately, this body didn't have heart disease.

Xu Qing was also startled by Sheng Jiaoyang's voice, and she quickly responded, "I was just about to go to sleep."

Hearing the hoarseness in Xu Qing's voice, Sheng Jiaoyang sat up and turned on the light in the room. As expected, she caught sight of Xu Qing trying to hide her eyes which were red and swollen from crying.

Crying in the middle of the night until her eyes became like this; did something bad happen? For herself, at the time when the man she'd loved was intimate with that big breasted woman right in front of her, she hadn't really cried. At most, two frustrated tears had silently slid down her cheeks.

"What the matter? Who bullied you?"

"Nothing." Xu Qing turned her head away to secretly wipe her tears. "Let's sleep."

"Don't hide; I've already seen it. What happened to you? I'm your daughter, so if there are problems, we should face them together."

Xu Qing looked at Sheng Jiaoyang. She wanted to say something but kept hesitating, her tears unable to stop gliding down her cheeks.

Sheng Jiaoyang moved to sit down beside Xu Qing, and reaching out her hands, she hugged Xu Qing as she softly said, "I've already grown up; there's nothing that can't be said to me. Sometimes, there are problems that you'll be unable to solve on your own, but maybe someone else will have a way to solve them. Moreover, there's only the two of us in this family, so you should believe in me more!"

Xu Qing had always been the backbone of the family, and suddenly being comforted by her daughter and feeling the warmth of her hug, it was like she'd abruptly found support to rely on. Hugging Sheng Jiaoyang back, Xu Qing burst into bitter tears.

Sheng Jiaoyang repeatedly stroked Xu Qing's back, allowing Xu Qing to cry out all her grievances. Crying it out was better than holding it in her heart.

Once Xu Qing had gradually calmed down, Sheng Jiaoyang said, "Alright, can you tell me why you were crying now?"

"Jiaojiao, Mama has let you down..." Xu Qing was unable to suppress her sobs.
