Adapted into the hit short drama The Young Lady Returns, and Her Three Brothers Beg for Forgiveness. The day my mother was beaten and branded a mistress, I slapped the household authority seal right onto my father's face.
On the flight home from studying abroad, I came across a video.
Its title read: "Billionaire Heir Defends His Mom, Beats Up the Mistress."
In the video, my mother wore coarse clothes and was surrounded by several of my brothers, who kicked and punched her.
They even tore her clothes and called her a shameless mistress.
Her eyes were red as she tried desperately to explain, but all she got in return was everyone's ridicule.
They shielded a strange woman in designer couture behind them as she spoke in that sweet, affected voice.
"All right, I know you mean well, but there's no need to waste a glance on someone so ungrateful."
The guests around them wished her a happy birthday and praised her generosity.
"Now that's the bearing Mrs. Su ought to have! Doesn't a certain someone have a mirror at home?"
"A mistress dares call herself Mrs. Su? Does she not know the entire Su family was her dowry? What about her looks even suggests she's a lady of high society?"
Hearing the words "Mrs. Su," I tightened my grip on my phone.
Its screen reflected my icy expression.
I'd only been away from home for three years.
Since when did I have a mother who was so utterly beneath us?
