You're My Only Star

While Song Xing Xing was busying herself informing both sides of the parents about the good news, over in A City, Xia Yu was busy with the trial.

These past few days, Xia Yu was living in a hotel accompanied by the caretaker to prepare herself for the trial.

Although she was unable to witness the trial with her eyes, Xia Yu was always well informed on what was going on.

Her brother was not going to admit that he was guilty of pushing her down the second floor even with the eyewitnesses and the recording they obtained from the nearby scene. He continued to press that it was an accident but the footage clearly showed that he had pushed her hard.

On this day, Xia Yu was going to attend the court to give her statement. When she arrived, the caretaker pushed her on the wheelchair and they finally meet the prosecutor that was in charge of this case.

After listening to his words for a while, Xia Yu waited outside until her name was called.

The moment she was pushed in, Xia Yu could feel her mother and brother's gaze on her. She looked up but did not want to meet their gazes.

From the corner of her eyes, Xia Yu could see her mother standing up, wanting to rush over to her side. However, the neighbors who came with her mother were quick enough to stop her.

The judge spoke something and let the court resume.

Xia Yu was brought over as the victim and she started to answer both the lawyer and the prosecutor's questions.

As she mentioned what happened during that day, Mother Xia stood up from her seat again. She pointed her finger at Xia Yu and shouted, "Liar! Xia Yu, that's your brother! How can you malign him like this?"

This time, the neighbors were not quick enough to stop Mother Xia.

The judge hit the gavel a few times to bring order to the court. "Mrs. Xia, if you continue to cause trouble and disrespect this court, then I'm afraid that I will have to ask someone to escort you out."

Mother Xia was finally afraid upon hearing the judge's unhappy tone. She could only sit down and stare at Xia Yu angrily.

Once the courtroom was quiet, the session continued and Xia Yu told everyone what happened that led her brother to push her off the building.

The spectators heard that the younger brother wanted the sister's money to buy a house for himself and quickly looked at the mother and son strangely.

Mother Xia was not expecting that her daughter would dare to air dirty clothes in the public. Her face turned red from embarrassment and she did not dare to say a word until the end of the trial.

Once the session ended, Xia Yu quickly left the courtroom with the caretaker.

Just as she was going to leave the court building, Mother Xia lurched forward and stopped a meter away. Without a warning, Mother Xia threw her phone to Xia Yu and it hits Xia Yu's forehead with a loud thud.

The onlookers saw this gasped in surprise.

The caretakers quickly went to check on Xia Yu's injury and the security who was around quickly stepped forward to control the situation.

"Xia Yu! You ungrateful child!" Mother Xia started to yell. "That was your brother! How can you do this to him? It's fine if you don't want to support your mother but how could you let your brother stay in jail?"

Xia Yu raised her head to look at her mother and with her eyes cold. She did not doubt that her mother would spout some nonsense just to get the others to her side.

"Your father is already dead. Without your brother around, how do you expect me to survive? Xia Yu, do you want your mother to die?"

The others who did not know anything started to point fingers at Xia Yu.

"If I knew that you are going to grow up like this, I would have killed you while you are still a baby," Mother Xia continued to shout and scold this daughter.

The light in her eyes dimmed as she listened to her mother's words. This was not the first time that she had listened to such words but still, they hurt her like the first time she had heard them.

This is her mother. The person who had given birth to her. How can she curse her like this?

All this time, Xia Yu had done a lot to satisfy her mother, she worked hard and gave a lot of her money to support the family. Still, why wasn't her mother satisfied?

Her mother's words continued to hurt her and accumulated. The more she listened to her words, the more that Xia Yu found that it was harder for her to breathe. The pain was too unbearable.

Xia Yu wanted to escape from this place but she was currently stuck in this wheelchair and the crowds were all around them.

The onlookers seemed to enjoy this entertainment and continued to watch her mother scolding her without trying to ease the situation. The caretaker who was looking after her was at a loss at what she should do.

Xia Yu tightened her grip on the armrest, as she bore with the feelings.

All of a sudden, someone blocked the light in front of her, and the words her mother said became muffled until she could not hear them again.

Xia Yu slowly raised her head and her eyes widened in surprise when she saw the person who had his body lowered in front of her.

It was Huo Yun Chen.

Even though he was wearing a mask and in disguise, Xia Yu could still recognize him.

But, what was he doing here?

It was then that Xia Yu realized that Huo Yun Chen had covered her ears with his hands, blocking her from listening to the words that her mother had said.

Xia Yu snapped out of her trance and began to worry that someone was going to notice his presence. There were a lot of people who took out their phones to shoot a video. What if someone recognized him?

Before she could ask the man to leave, her body was lifted up from the wheelchair.

She let out a yelp and instantly, her arms wrapped around his neck so that she won't fall.

Huo Yun Chen turned to the caretaker and nodded at her before he stepped away to leave the place. A group of security helped to disperse the crowd and created a path for them.

Mother Xia continued to shout but she could not get close to her daughter.

A few meters away, Brother Xiang watched this scene and heaved helplessly.. In the end, he could only dial a number and asked some people to help him with this situation.
