You're my sister

Tang Xiu Ying had no idea how much time she'd been sitting at the same table as Tang Jue, but it felt like an eternity.

Her smirk irritated her, but the only thing she could do was to have faith in Yang Jia.

Tang Jue gloated over Tang Xiu Ying's misfortune. Everything was going well according to plan, all she needed to do was to wait for a phone call. 

"How do you feel elder sister? Knowing that your mom is being tortured to death." She spoke in a provocative manner and chuckled right after.

Tang Xiu Ying stared at her, trying to understand what was running on Tang Jue's mind. She observed her for a while and then spoke up.

"Tell me... Is there someone in your rotten heart that you care for and love?"

Tang Jue froze in her spot. Tang Xiu Ying's question really startled her. 

Tang Xiu Ying could tell that Tang Jue was thinking deeply about it. She opened her mouth, about to say something else, but...

"No, I don't love anyone. There's no such thing as love, it only brings you down. Love will only get in the way of my plans"

Tang Xiu Ying sat there stupefied and suddenly laughed "Haha, that's why you're so heartless, the only thing your heart is full of is greed, ambition, and... jealousy."

Tang Jue raised her brows and leaned toward the table "You don't know how I feel! You have no right to criticize me. Who are you to tell me what to do?..." She snapped and began speaking loudly, making people from the restaurant turn their heads toward them.

"I advise you to refrain from speaking loudly. You don't want to create a spectacle do you?" Tang Xiu Ying whispered in an intimidating tone.

Tang Jue looked around the restaurant and noticed people gazing at her. She took a deep breath to calm herself down and sat down comfortably. She was about to say something when her phone started ringing.

She smirked and answered the phone without checking the caller ID number.

Tang Xiu Ying noticed her smirk and immediately felt uneasy. 'Who could she be calling?' She pondered.

"Is this Tang Jue?" A voice of an unfamiliar man came from the other side of the phone.

Tang Jue frowned and checked the ID caller, only to see an unknown number. "Who is this?"

"I am Police Officer Wu Hong and your father has been arrested and he's requesting your presence."

"What!?" Tang Jue stood up forcefully and glanced at Tang Xiu Ying, who looked at her in alarm.

Tang Jue immediately hangs up the phone and glares at Tang Xiu Ying "If something happens, you're the one who's going to pay for it" She threatened and stormed out the restaurant.

Tang Xiu Ying was dumbfounded, she quickly grabbed her phone and made a call.

________

Yang Jia was still driving when Tang Xiu Ying called her, she answered the phone and heard Tang Xiu Ying's anxious voice.

"Jia, is everything okay? Tang Jue received a call and left quickly" 

"Yeah don't have to worry Xiu Ying, everything is finally over" Yang Jia assured her.

Tang Xiu Ying moved her hand to her mouth, tears were threatening to fall. "R-really?" She could hear her voice quiver.

Yang Jia smiled, knowing full well that this was the end of Tang Xiu Ying's suffering.

Tang Xiu Ying sighed and she felt a heavy load being lifted off from her shoulders. She felt her shoulders sting a little, she didn't even notice how tense she was.

"Thank you Jia, for everything. If it wasn't for you, I would've given up on life by now and for that I'm grateful" Tang Xiu Ying said genuinely. These words came from the bottom of her heart. Words cannot describe how grateful she is towards Yang Jia.

Yang Jia's smile grew wider and chuckled "Girl, what are family for? Xiu Ying you're more than just a friend to me... You're my sister. It's always been like that since the day you decided to put your trust on me." Yang Jia said as she used her thumb to clean the tears that were forming on the corner of her eye.

Those words broke Tang Xiu Ying's will to contain her cries. She burst out crying on the phone.

Yang Jia chuckled while listening to her best friend- no, her sister sob "Now, now save those tears for later. I have a surprise for you. Send me your location, so that I can pick you up."

Tang Xiu Ying sniffed and nodded.

Yang Jia couldn't see her, but she could feel her head nodding.

She hanged up the phone and after a minute she received Tang Xiu Ying's location and went to pick Tang Xiu Ying up.

Tang Xiu Ying waited outside the Italian restaurant. She had to pay for the expenses of the meal that were for Tang Jue, but she didn't care. Her heart was beating quickly. She knew what Yang Jia was talking about. After fourteen years, she finally could see her mother again and this time she will be with her forever.

Not long after, an eye-catching teal Buggati Veyron stopped right in front of her.

Yang Jia opened the door for her from the inside "Xiu Ying, hop on"

Tang Xiu Ying slowly entered the car while admiring its appearance.

Yang Jia pressed the accelerator and went toward the hospital.

After the incident Mu Huiling was taken to the hospital, so that they can give her a checkup.

Yang Jia and Tang Xiu Ying arrived at the hospital and Tang Xiu Ying's heart beated faster than ever before. She could feel her mother close.

Yang Jia went towards the receptionist and asked for Mu Huiling.

Mu Hiling's checkup was done, so now she could receive visitors.

Yang Jia and Tang Xiu Ying followed a nurse that was heading towards Mu Huiling's ward.

Each step she took was louder and louder and she felt her heart filled with excitement and longing.

The nurse opened the door of the ward and there she was... Her mother.

Mu Huiling was seated on her bed while leaning against the hospital bed frame.

"Ma'am, you have two visitors" The nurse said politely.

"Please let them in, thank you" Mu Huiling smiled at the nurse and the nurse excused herself

Mu Huiling looked at the two ladies that entered and her eyes first landed on Yang Jia, but then her eyes trailed to the lady right next to her.

Her eyes watered and she extended her arms wide. She lovingly said "Aren't you going to hug your mother?"

Tang Xiu Ying's tears fell down like a stream and she sprinted towards her mom straight into her arms.
