***
Mai Xiaomai's mother's words, like sharp arrows, fiercely pierced her heart.
Yes, on the surface they treat her like a daughter, but in reality, they just want another servant to pass the time and help out, maybe even gain a good reputation.
They never truly loved her or treated her as a part of the family.
During family meals and conversations, she always felt like an outsider who didn't belong.
In her current miserable state, they showed no sympathy, but instead, angrily spat in Mai Xiaomai's face.
Ha!
Foolishly, she even thought about working hard to earn money, dutifully fulfill her filial piety, and support them in their old age.
In the end, it was all just her wishful thinking.
She doesn't want to see them anymore.
Without saying a word, she reached out and pulled the blanket over herself, covering her entire body...
"Duoduo—"
Mai Xiaomai called out in pain again.
Mai Duoduo didn't respond to her.
Mai Xiaomai felt a bit helpless.
