บท 501: The only way to survive

Han Guang's eyes ached with tears and her body trembled. She released her shut fist and wiped her cheeks. 

"You haven't seen the life that I had to live. I made it that way! I was fed up with this humiliation. I was tired of people treating me like they could stomp their feet at me anytime. I met Mingli in a bar through one of my customers. We got to talking and I learnt that he was from the Han family. So yes, I slept with him and declared I was pregnant! Go hate me if you want, but that was my only way to escape the hell I had been born into."

She chuckled. "Do you think if I hadn't fooled him, he would have even thrown a glance at a woman like me? Our worlds were completely different. He lived in prestige and glamor, and I suffered in hell and filth. I had to secure my future, so I did what I had to! But then what happened? Uncle Huizhong hated me for scheming my way into this house. He never accepted me and he never accepted the son I gave birth to either."
