章 250: Chapter 242: Parents Who Give Silently

Xia Lin hadn't told him about the grievances she faced today. She didn't have the face to say, for ever since the year turned, she'd begun to encounter nothing but bad luck.

This series of misfortunes had started with her incitement of Yang Linghua.

She regretted it now, but what could be done? What's done was done, and she never blamed others.

By then, she wanted Lu Jingqiu to know she wasn't even worth the trouble of scheming against, that she could surpass her by several streets on her own.

But the man by her side kept disappointing her time and again, leaving her let down each time.
