Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

With panic and anxiety, Su Mengsi opened the door and walked inside. It wasn't pitch black inside like how Yan Ruomin was used to sleep in.

The windows of the room were all opened while the room itself was cold. An icy breeze came from the widely opened windows. 

When Su Mengsi saw Yan Ruomin lying on the bed while her legs were dangling on the floor, she hurried towards her. 

In her haste, she didn't notice the blood stain on the floor at first. But when she came near Yan Ruomin, her eyes captured the blood soaked toe of her daughter. 

"What?! Min Min, are you okay?!" 

In a fluster she threw her bag on the bed randomly and jumped on the bed beside Yan Ruomin. She grasped the sleeping woman's shoulder and violently shook her. 

Due to this, Yan Ruomin woke up from her sleep. But as soon as she regained her senses, a terrifying pain assaulted her both the body and mind. 

"Ah! Ma, it hurts so bad." She rubbed her neck as she tried to sit upon the soft bed. Su Mengsi tried to help her as she attempted to lift Yan Ruomin's shoulder but failed. 

Yan Ruomin was very spoiled since she was a child. Also, old master Yan didn't have any daughter. So she was pampered like a princess by both of them. 

Hence Yan Ruomin was a little fat, kinda chubby but it was considered to be a healthy characteristic of a person. Even if she wanted to lose weight like her friends, Su Mengsi didn't allow her. 

Yan Ruomin was a woman from a wealthy family. If she wanted to marry, there would be a long line of suitors to take her hand. So why would her daughter starve for another man, who didn't even come in her life?!

Also, Yan Ruomin couldn't endure hunger, so in their group of people, she was considered a glutton or rather...fatty.

With her overly white-palish like skin with sharp bow like eyebrows, she was considered a perfect Chinese beauty. But the problem is she was way too fair which was sometimes glaring to the naked eyes. Also, the veins on her forehead could be seen easily due to her thin skin. 

That's why she always had to use dark makeup to make herself a little tanned.

Back to the matter at hand, due to her weight Su Mengsi failed to lift her and they fell on the bed together. 

"Ah! Ma, what are you doing?!"

Su Mengsi dropped on the bewildered woman.

"Sorry, baby. Ma just slipped earlier."

Su Mengsi replied in awkwardness while trying to get away but she couldn't. She was wearing a gown with stylish patterns. It had many extra layers of clothes attached to it and coincidentally some of them got pressed under Yan Ruomin's body.

When Su Mengsi wanted to turn away again, she failed and dropped on her again while her bosom got pressed on Yan Ruomin's oily face.

"Mmm, Ma, you are suffocating me!" 

Yan Ruomin wanted her mother on top of her face to go away but when she tried to push, she felt her back was hurting. Also, the unbearable pain was making her extremely angry. If Su Mengsi wasn't there, she would've shouted till her throat became dry.

When Su Mengsi heard her suppressed angry voice, she abruptly lifted herself up but the next moment,both of them heard a sharp tearing sound.

Rip~~

"..."

"..."

Su Mengsi's skin was very sensitive so she only wore soft and delicate clothes. So when she tried to get away, a part of her dress was ripped away. But luckily that was only an extra piece of cloth which was attached to the dress for the purpose of design so her skin wasn't exposed. 

The main dress was intact in one piece!

"Min Min, try to get up a little. I have to remove the clothes from under your body."

"Okay." 

Yan Ruomin answered while she tried to lift her body but she failed miserably. She slept the whole night in an awkward position and her delicate body wasn't used to it. 

On top of that, her foot lost some blood so she appeared even more pale than usual. 

Drops of sweats began to appear in her forehead.

That servant who had followed earlier came outside of the room but decided not to enter it after recalling a matter. 

Another servant told her, she should never or ever go to this room. As she heard it was the room of the spoiled brat of the Yan family; the only daughter of Madam Yan.

...

Once in the past, Yan Ruomin had lost a lipstick. She wasn't any short of those things but that was a limited product which one of her friends wanted badly but couldn't get her hands on them as her family didn't give her money so easily. 

All the parents aren't the same as her mother.

When Yan Ruomin knew of that matter she requested her mother to get her that one. 

That being said, Su Mengsi was a mother who fulfilled all of her daughter's demands, she bought her that one without any single thought and delay.

Yan Ruomin wanted to show off in front of friends. That girl became jealous when she heard that Yan Ruomin had one of that lipsticks. 

Even if the girl was her friend she didn't consider Yan Ruomin like a close buddy. She wanted to just have a rich friend from whom she could rip off some money from time to time. 

Also, young girls liked to compare their things with each other.

When the little Yan Ruomin invited her friends to the 'Yan Resident', she wanted to show them that thing. 

All of her friends were curious as they waited but Yan Ruomin didn't find that lipstick no matter how much she searched her room.

Later her friends accused her for being a liar. Back then, Su Mengsi wasn't home. When she returned home later, Yan Ruomin ran to her angrily and complained that a maid had stolen her thing. One of her friends told her of that possibility but she thought it must be the truth.

Su Mengsi was furious and punished the servant who had cleaned Yan Ruomin's room back then. She didn't believe in that servant's denying of the charge against her. 

The poor old woman was put behind a prison of a police station for some months. The old woman's reputation was destroyed and no other family had hired her as they called her a thief.

In Su Mengsi's eyes, her daughter was the most precious baby she wanted to protect. She would do anything to make her feel better.

Some cheap girls accused her baby for being a liar?! So she took care of their family by some illegal and cheap means. Those girls were also transferred elsewhere by their parents. 

From that day onwards, the other servants would always want to steer clear of that spoiled brat. They understood that if she told some bad things about them in front of her mother, their life would be over!

But later, a maid had found the lipstick in the trash can. It was placed beside the dressing table in Yan Ruomin's room. 

When Yan Ruomin had received the lipstick she was very happy and hurriedly opened it to look at the thing which had made her friend so crazy.

But it was of a colour which doesn't go well with her lip skin so she lost interest. She unknowingly put that in the wrapper and when Su Mengsi called her to eat breakfast, she threw it in the trash can without knowing.

When the matter was known by everyone, Su Mengsi just told them to keep quiet. But the servants felt very aggrieved by that incident but they were helpless. 

So whenever any new workers join the Yan residents, the old ones would warn them about it.

...

When Su Mengsi was struggling to get away, she caught the sight of that servant. 

"Why are you staying there for? Come here and help me!"

The servants who hesitated at first but eventually entered the room. She threaded her path carefully and tried to not to touch anything accidentally.

When she saw the blood on the floor, the woman became stiff and gave an earth shattering scream on the top of her lungs.

"Ahhhh….!!!"

Her eyes rolled back as she fell on the hard ground and became unconscious in some moments.

"..."

"..."

The two women just saw the scene while the screeching scream was ringing in their ears.

Well, for your information, the woman had homophobia. But this information wasn't mentioned in her biodata. Or else, she wouldn't have been able to work in any big household. 

"What happened?! Who is screaming?!"

Yan Luhan came running when he heard it. He was the one to come at first. 

When he saw the scene inside of the room his lips couldn't help but twist a little.

A woman lying on the floor, unconscious while some traces of blood were on the floor. His mother and sister were on the bed.

A perfect scene to think about domestic violence on servants. 

He didn't know what to make of this situation. When he heard footsteps behind him, he saw several people were coming towards him. 

Most probably they had also heard the scream.
