บท 7: GOING BACK TO CHINA (PART 7)

Xue Lin struggled but she couldn't lose grip from her father's grasp. Jingfei caught an opportunity and slapped her across her face.

Xue Lin's legs were still free. She kicked at Jingfei's stomach. Hitting her abdomen, her sister clutched her stomach and knelt on the floor.

Seeing her beloved daughter being hurt her mother then became increasingly more furious. To punish her impolite younger daughter, Li Lifen slapped and thrashed at Xue Lin. "You animal! How dare you raise your hand at your elders?"

Xue Lin looked at her with her slightly red eyes. Her cheek was stinging. Her mother's nail scratched her cheek. She ruefully said, "Only an animal can give birth to an animal. Who told you to burn my passport and credit card? Did you think I would let that go easily? You dared to destroy my expensive mobile. Do you have the money to pay for a new one? Just wait and see… I'll make sure you all get thrown in jail and rot there until you die."

"We are your elders! You have to listen to whatever we tell you to do!" Li Lifen raised her hand to hit her again.

This time, Xue Lin grabbed her mother's hand aside and bit it. Since they wouldn't use their brain, she could only get physical.

"Ow!" Li Lifen shrieked. Her arm turned purple instantly.

Fa Xiaodan saw that his wife was getting bitten by his younger daughter. He hit her from the back.

"Kuh!" Xue Lin coughed and let go of her mother's hand. She kicked her father's legs and made him stagger. Taking this opportunity, she bit her father's arm brutally and made him let go of her right hand. With her free hand, she scratched him. Her nails were sharp and her father started bleeding. He let her other hand go.

Finally, Xue Lin was free. She scrambled away, stood and turned to face all three of them. "It was you who lied to me first. It was you who destroyed my mobile. It was you who burnt my passport and credit card. Why am I to blame? I'd rather be with a street dog than animals like you. Now, I'm going to the police station. I dare you to stop me."

She walked past them and headed towards the door. But she was grabbed from behind. It was Fa Xiaodan. He yanked her back.

Xue Lin was already small and light. She couldn't keep up with the sudden attack. He forcefully pulled her towards her room as her small body brushed over the floor. Screaming, Xue Lin dug her nails into his arms but he didn't flinch at all. Reaching her room, he shoved her inside and slammed the door shut.

The floor was cold with no mattress. Xue Lin's body jerked and her whole body ached in pain. Before she could move, she heard a faint sound of the lock turning.

'That animal just locked the room.' Xue Lin told herself and slowly sat up. She sat there in a daze. She thought to herself, 'I was away for two years and it was the best time I spent in my life. Why on earth did I come back? Was I expecting them to change in two years? Was I craving for familial love? Why didn't I learn my lesson?'

She exhaled loudly. She leaned back against the bed and looked at her hands that were covered in purple and red bruises. Just like before. 'What am I going to do from now on?' She closed her eyes and thought about the whole situation.

Since it was nothing new to her, she was able to take it normally. Though she hoped that she would never have to take this sort of situation normally.

By their way of acting, it was certain that they wanted her to get married. The only way to get out of this destiny was to escape from here. If she could get out of this city and move somewhere else, she could start her practice as a psychiatrist.

Xue Lin was relieved that she left all her documents in Germany. As for the digital copies, those were on her laptop.

...Laptop!
