Chương 5: GOING BACK TO CHINA (PART 5)

"She is happy because you came back." Her father took her mother's side.

Xue Lin felt disdain. Her body was already shaking in hatred and anger. "Of course, she is happy because I came back. She wanted to ruin my life. How can she even do it when I'm not around her?" She looked at her father. "And how are you alive with that idiotic head of yours? I prepared myself for your funeral." She didn't even enter the house and her mood was already ruined by her family members.

Her mother scolded her, "Watch your mouth! How dare you to talk to your father like that?" She raised her hand to slap Xue Lin.

Was Xue Lin easy to bully? She shoved away her mother's hand and resentfully glared at her. "What? Did I hit the sore spot? Don't expect anything good from me when you can't even let me live in peace."

She pushed everyone aside and entered the house. She took off her shoes and walked away. Her eyes filled with tears when she was out of their sights.

She was always betrayed by them, she was always hurt by them and yet, she still had faith in them. She didn't know why she was so obsessed with her family.

With her luggage, she went upstairs, walked towards the small room in the corner and opened the door of her room. She took a glance at the room. It was a square room with a single bed across the room and a single sofa beside it. There were two red-colored plastic racks beside the sofa and then a wooden bookshelf. The attached bathroom was on the left and the attached balcony was on the right side.

Of course, it wasn't the way she left it. At least nothing was added or moved from here. She recalled threatening everyone before she left.

She never wanted to return to this house again nor did she wished to come to China. But she was tricked again. Xue Lin sat on the single sofa beside her bed and sighed. She could smell the dust. She rubbed her nose. She had a dust allergy.

'She deliberately did it, didn't she?' Xue Lin thought of her mother. Everyone in her family knew about her dust allergy. They forced her to come back but they not only pissed her off but also didn't care to clean her room. She rubbed her temples. She wanted to control her anger but the more she thought about what just happened, the more she got angrier.

She stood up and strode towards the door. She opened it and said loudly, "I want my room spotless before I finish my bath!"

Then she closed the door with a loud bang and unlocked her luggage. She took out her clothes, towel, soap, shampoo, and other toiletries. She closed the luggage knowing that they wouldn't cover it before cleaning the room. She went to the bathroom and found it dry.

"At least it is better than the bedroom. This is the most important place for human beings." Xue Lin murmured. She took off her clothes and turned on the shower. After a cold-water bath, she dried herself and then wrapped the towel on her head. She wore a blue tank and a pair of half pants and came out of the bathroom.

As she said, the room was cleaned and someone swept the floor. She took the clothes and her wet towel on the balcony and put them on the wire. After that, she laid down on the bed and felt a familiar feeling. She looked at the ceiling and the fan that was turned on.

Xue Lin didn't want to live with her parents but it didn't mean she didn't like her small bedroom. She smiled and moved her hands over the cold bed. Then she reached out to her handbag to take out her cell phone. She unzipped her handbag and looked into the place where she usually put her cell phone. However, she didn't get it there.

Xue Lin's heart skipped a beat. She sat up straight and thoroughly checked her whole back. She didn't get anything.

"What the hell?" She couldn't find it anywhere. She grabbed her luggage and searched thoroughly though there wasn't any chance that she put it there. It wasn't there either.

She panicked too quickly to notice something else was also missing. She put the handbag upside down and jerked it. Everything including money fell on the bed. While checking, she noticed that her passport and credit card were also gone.

"Huh!"

She had a bad feeling about it.
