A White Lotus

In order to acknowledge Xue Luli's status as the Fourth Young Miss of the Xue family, Lin Jiali had to give up her status as Xue Feng's first wife. This she did happily without a second thought.

Xue Luli was just eighteen years old when she came to the capital with her mother. Since Lu Jinhai's grandmother had already told the public that Lu Jinhai was getting married to the Fourth Young Miss of the Xue Family, nothing could be done about the situation.

Lin Jiali left Xue Luli in the capital all by herself.

Since she was getting married to Lu Jinhai, she was convinced that Xue Luli was going to live a good life.

At eighteen, Xue Luli got engaged to Lu Jinhai and two years later, they got married. Though the engagement was publicized, the marriage wasn't. Since it was a loveless marriage, no one expected anything from the other.

On new year's eve, Lu Jinhai's mother decided to interfere in the young couple's love life and that was how Xue Luli got pregnant with twins.

Though Lu Jinhai had already made up his mind to divorce Xue Luli after a year of their marriage. Circumstances had already changed. He was going to become a father and he didn't want his children to grow up without a mother.

Xue Luli on the other hand didn't have any experience whatsoever on how to raise a child. Her own mother could care less about her during her childhood. Her mother believed that as long as she ate, everything was fine.

But food isn't the only thing a child needs when growing up. Unfortunately, Xue Luli never experienced this.

A year after the twins were born, Lu Jinhai got her pregnant again as punishment for flirting with other men. Till now, Lu Jinhai still didn't know what came over him that night.

After that, he decides to stay away from Xue Luli. So he moved to the county. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stay away from his kids for that long, including Little Li. So he asked Xue Luli to move to the county. Unfortunately, his work didn't allow him to spend time with his kids but he did try to see them whenever he got the chance. Even though he wasn't around most of the time, it didn't mean he wasn't aware of the children's situation or how Xue Luli was treating them which was why he told her that they would get divorced the next time he comes back.

He was about to go back to the county when he saw Xue Meimei.

"Third Brother...my grandmother asked me to invite you for dinner this evening. She has missed you alot." Xue Meimei said as she maintained the smile on her face.

"I'm busy" was the reply she got from him as he entered the car and left without sparing her a second glance. He didn't really have the time to entertain a white lotus.
