Chapter 38: Not the head of the family——But just my mother?
****************************************************
Luo Huian was brought back to the Luo home. She glanced around unimpressed, as the antiques and whatnot that were placed inside the house were not something that she had never seen.
Not to mention, in the immortal world, everything was made of pearl, ivory, gold and diamonds.
There were a few things that were even more expensive than the decorations and furniture in the Luo family. Compared to the wealth of her two fathers, the Luo family did not even hold a candle to it.
Wei Yuchen looked at Luo Huian. In his eyes, the unimpressed look on Luo Huian was perceived as indifference.
'Looks like she really doesn't remember anything,' he thought as he looked at Luo Huian.
Once his doubts were cleared, Wei Yuchen did not know what to think about Luo Huian. Though he accepted that she was a very annoying woman, she was also rather pitiful.
"We are here," he said to Luo Huian as he stopped in front of the door that belonged to Luo Yeqing's study.
Luo Huian arched a brow and said, "And? Do you want me to worship the door or to kowtow to it? Just so you know I am not doing either of that."
Her voice was sarcastic and mocking.
Wei Yuchen turned to look at Luo Huian. He was speechless. Why didn't no one tell him that Luo Huian became this rude after she lost her memories?
"I never said that,"
"You announced that we are here. Why did you do that? Is the door my ancestor or the one inside? Just so you know, I don't remember anything. So you can forget about becoming my ancestor," she said those things deliberately.
Luo Huian was not a fool and knew that Luo Yeqing had a lot of pride and she was having a hard time accepting the fact that her daughter who used to lower her head in front of her was gone.
But Luo Huian was not the previous Luo Huian. Other than her daddy, she did not even give a face to her father.
"Miss Huian——"
"Let her come inside," Luo Yeqing could no longer hear anymore.
"Yes," Wei Yuchen changed his words and followed the orders of his boss. He pushed the door open and walked to the side before saying to Luo Huian, "You can enter now, Miss Huian."
Luo Huian rolled her eyes and walked inside the study.
She looked around the large study that had walls made in the shape of bookshelves with maybe a thousand or maybe more books stored in them.
The floor was made of polished oak wood and smelled rich. There was a lush couch and tea table next to it.
A small pot of plant and in the middle of the room was a large curved table behind which Luo Yeqing was sitting and beside her stood Qin Qiu.
Luo Huian glanced at the mer and then turned to look at Luo Yeqing.
"Why did you call me, Madam Luo?"
Madam.
The word hit Luo Yeqing harshly but she did not show it on her face, "Are you not going to call me mother now?" She asked.
"I don't remember you," Luo Huian replied innocently. "How can I call you 'mother'? Not to mention you have kicked me out of the family."
Luo Yeqing sucked in a breath. She wanted to say a lot of things but instead, she was not used to showing her emotions.
And had no way to put them in words instead she asked, "What's going on between you and Xu Suisui?"
"Nothing. I saved his life in a way," Luo Huian did not lie as she placed her hands in her pockets. "He is letting me stay in his home temporarily before I can find a place to stay."
Qin Qiu who stood behind Luo Yeqing couldn't help but snicker inwardly. However, on the surface, he said to Luo Huian, "Little An, there is nothing wrong with telling the truth. If you tell your mother the truth about your relationship with Xu Suisui, we can at least prepare the PR department earlier on."
Luo Huian turned to look at Qin Qiu. She said, "You can think what you want. I have no obligation to tell you or her the truth." She tipped her chin at Luo Yeqing. "But if you are trying to say that I am sleeping with that mer, then you can rest assured nothing like that will happen."
"However, even if I say this you will not believe it. Will you?" She questioned Luo Yeqing.
Her expression was mocking as she stared at Luo Yeqing.
"Huian, you have to accept that the things that you have done are indeed too much. It's not that I do not trust you but because you have never been trustworthy——"
"Am I? Or you have never tried to understand me," Luo Huian curled her lips as she leaned back subtly. "Go outside and listen to what others say if you don't understand what I am saying." She added when she saw that Luo Yeqing looked confused.
"Even I who do not have my memories intact know that Madam Luo had no interest in me nor did she ever care for me," Luo Huian offered with a sweet smile. "Now why the sudden interest in me?"
Qin Qiu felt his heart lurch in his throat and turned to look at Luo Yeqing. He had blocked these things from reaching Luo Yeqing's ears.
And Luo Huian was too proud to say this to her mother.
As for Ye Shun, he was a weak mer who only knew how to hug his daughter and cry.
"What did you say?" Luo Yeqing questioned sharply.
"I said you have never cared for me," Luo Huian blinked her eyes with an indifferent expression. "Since that is the case, then you can keep it like that."
With that, she turned on her heels and left a few words behind, "Anyway if you are worried that you will be humiliated, don't fret."
"In case something does happen, just announce that I am not a member of the Luo family anymore."
"Luo Huian! You, do you blame me? I have given you food, clothes and a roof over your head. In fact, I have given you much more than," Luo Yeqing stood up. Though she wanted to tell Luo Huian that she did care for her, she could not.
She had never shown her affection as she had never received any.
Her father had told her that affections were useless.
"As for your sister, she had done better than you so of course she will be treated well——"
"I did not say anything about Luo Qingling," Luo Huian turned to look at Luo Yeqing. "I just wanted to ask if you ever have been a mother to me. Not the head of the Luo family but my mother."
"And do you think that providing me with necessities will help me ignore all the time that you have ignored me?"
"In the past, I was standing and waiting for you to look at me. Now I won't, so you as well accept this, Madam Luo. Maybe you might as well believe that you never had a younger daughter."
