1155 Even her daughter could not recognize her

Madam Ding was really satisfied with how things were turning out. While she was basking in the praises handed to her by the women at the tea party, Zeng Xi and her brother, Zeng Cheng were having trouble at home. They knew that their mother went to the tea party that was arranged by Madam Wang and they also knew that once she came back, she would be hurt and upset. 

After all, they knew how beautiful Madam Ding was when she was young. But after taking the heavy doses of medicine, her face burned from the inside leaving her with ugly marks on her cheeks and nose.

Zeng Xi was the most worried one. She was in the same class as Madam Yue's daughter and she had heard from Yue Lin that Master Yue saw her father with a much younger woman. And they were way too cosy with one another! 

Yue Lin had never gotten along with Zeng Xi which was why she knew why Yue Lin had told her that her father was almost on the verge of having an affair. 

If something really happened, then what would happen to their family? More importantly, would her mother be fine? She loved their father so much that she would rather kill herself in front of him rather than hand him over to someone else. 

What sin had she committed? Why was her father like this? 

How could he be so foolish? He dared to have an affair and that too so boldly where was he putting his family's face? Just because he wanted the vain satisfaction of being pleased by his friends he was willing to throw everything away? How could he? 

She turned to look at her brother and then said, " Brother you are the one who took over the company, you have to say something to Dad now. Make him understand that it was mom who stood by his side and he needs to take care of her and stay loyal to her even if she is getting old. What he is doing is simply unreasonable!" 

" Do you think that I don't want to?" Zeng Cheng rolled his eyes as he stated. " I told him many times but Dad is stubborn as a mule. You know he had been catered and served by mom all his life to the point that he takes her for granted." He then pulled the tie on his neck roughly and made it loose before adding, " And dad is not a novice, he is someone who knows to leave a way out for himself. Do you think that just because I took over the company, I am in charge? He can always take it back." 

When Zeng Xi heard her brother's words, she was quite upset with her father while she was worrying about her mother. She thought of how heartbroken her mother would be and hated her father even more, just as she was thinking about how to deal with those mistresses that her father might bring home. She saw a young and beautiful woman walk inside the house. 

Seeing the young woman enter her house as she pleased Zeng Xi was furious. She strode over to the woman and demanded angrily, " Where are you going? Do you think you can just stride inside someone's house as you please?" 

Her father only went socializing last night and a messy goblin appeared the very next day? What was next? A child? 

Madam Ding was stunned on the other when she saw that her daughter did not recognize her. She did not know what her daughter was thinking but after taking two more looks at her daughter's enraged face, Madam Ding realized that her daughter really did not recognize her! 

She did not think that the pills would be this effective, she just took them as directed on the bottle of the pills. In the morning and at night, who would have thought that she would become so unrecognizable that her daughter would act hostile towards her thinking she was a stranger?

' Did I really change that much?' Madam Ding did not know whether or not she went through severe changes because she was used to seeing herself in the mirror every day. 

She thought that Zeng Xi was being a bit too dramatic but she was still in a good mood as she stated, " What are you doing brat? Can you not even recognize your mother now?" 

Zeng Xi was scared silly when she heard her mother's voice. She looked at the young woman who looked even more beautiful than her to the point where she could be taken as her younger sister and said, " M…Mom?" 

" Thats right, it's your mom," Madam Ding nodded proudly feeling rather satisfied. It was not just the women at the tea party but even her daughter, looks like the pills were really effective, Madam Ding thought. 

When Zeng Xi and Zeng Cheng saw that it was really their mother, they were stunned. Zeng Xi on the other hand was scared witless by her mother. The doctor told them that their mother's body had gone weak because of the heavy doses of medicine that she took to cure her disease and could not withstand any more medications or surgeries, this was the reason why despite getting a lot of ugly remarks from others, Madam Ding did not chose to do plastic surgery. 

Was their mother so stimulated by their father that she went ahead and had aplastic surgery despite knowing the dangers? If so then if something happened to their mother, they would never forgive their father! 

Zeng Cheng said hurriedly, " Mom, your health hasn't been good recently. Why did you have to get a plastic surgery done?" 

Madam Ding snorted as she said, " What do you know? I did not get plastic surgery you brat! I took herbal remedies and got my skin to get better. Do you think that for the sake of a rotten man, I would endanger my life? As if."
