After sorting out her thoughts, Xu Mey came out of her room in good spirits. She looked like spending time on her own allowed her to understand somethings better. She looked determined and rejuvenated.
But when she noticed the hubbub in the living room downstairs, she was startled for a moment. She wondered if there was a gathering planned today? How come she didn't know anything about that? Maybe it was impromptu? She shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, for now, her focus was to get to her family.
But as soon as she came down, she was hugged by her mother-in-law who cried out sadly, "My poor Mey!" Xu Mey was taken aback. What happened? But unbeknownst to her reaction, He Susu continued, "It isn't your fault then why did you lock yourself up? Why stop eating? It should be Jie feeling guilty for making you cry. But don't worry, I already went to him in the morning. I'll go again in the evening and drag him here to apologize to you."
You all asked, how come Xu Mey needed Jie to remind her before she realized what was she doing wrong.
Isn't it obvious? She had been the devilish beauty who tread her own path and never listened to others. Even if she was wrong, no one around here ever told her that.
Let me jog up your memory, back when Ru tried to tell her that revenge won't get her anywhere, even Jie stopped her from doing so. Even he stood by Mey.
So, the girl who was always allowed to do what she wanted. And the girl who never realized that some of her actions might have been excessive, how do you expect her to realize her mistake unless someone reminds her?
