Chiang Qing gazed at her reflection in the mirror, the pretty face that she used to have had lost its shape in just a few days, her skin was dull and lifeless, eyes lacked luster, and her hair was dry and yellow, sticking to her cheeks like a madwoman’s.
The beauty that had once been hers, he couldn’t even appreciate, and now this ugliness, he disdained it even more!
Chiang Qing looked at herself in the mirror with disgust. She glanced left and right, found a pair of scissors, and with a snip, cut off her long hair.
Why, why had her fate turned out this way? Why couldn’t she compare to a village wife? Why?
Chiang Qing frantically cut her hair, and soon, her once beautiful tresses were uneven and ragged. She screamed and threw the scissors towards the mirror.
Bang!
The glass shattered, sending pieces flying everywhere.
"Qingqing... Qingqing, what are you doing? Heavens, her dad, Old Chiang, come quick!" Lu Shufen screamed at the sight of the hair on the floor and the broken mirror.
Jiang Conghe rushed in quickly and, seeing the mess all over the floor and his daughter standing there dazed, was filled with rage.
"Come with me." Jiang Conghe grabbed Chiang Qing’s hand and dragged her out of the room, and upon seeing her disheveled hair, he couldn’t help but explode, "Look at you, what have you become!"
Chiang Qing shook off his hand, casting him a disdainful glance.
Grinding his teeth, Jiang Conghe said to Lu Shufen, "Grab whatever you can, and let’s go. Where’s Xiao Tian, Xiao Tian!"
Chiang Tian yawned as he walked out of the room and asked, "What’s happening?"
"Help your mother pack up; we’re going back to Beijing immediately," Jiang Conghe said.
Chiang Tian was stunned, but seeing the look on his father’s face, he didn’t dare argue. He just let out an "oh," and upon seeing Chiang Qing’s hair, he couldn’t help but exclaim, "Sis, your hair!"
