Chapter 96 - End Of Yao Yao (10)

"This Shi Ai girl was really smart."he thought to himself. Once he had finished the call, he dialed the lawyer's number who then answered,"Sir, Miss Yao has been bailed out and I will escort her home as soon as we finish the formalities. Sir,you need not worry,the national media has not shown any interest so whatever the school forum says,we can sue a few people and get them to silence."Mr Yao nodded satisfactorily and went out to order the housekeeper to prepare a welcome feast for his daughter. Tonight,he will not let her think back to the bad day but will help her keep only good memories.

Mr Yao then went to his study and sat on the armchair with his eyes closed. The rocking motion of the chair soothed his nerves which had been strung tight until now. Never had he regretted having a daughter as he did today..And the lengths one had to stoop to protect your loved ones.Mr Yao,had bribed a psychologist doctor friend to prepare a fake mental illness report for Yao Yao where they showed that Yao Yao was mentally unstable and could harm herself if she had a breakdown. On the basis of this report,Yao Yao had been released on bail and under observation. There was another thing that struck Mr Yao and he immediately picked up his phone and then ordered his secretary to order a beautiful pure white dress for his daughter. She may have done bad deeds and soiled herself,but to him she would always remain pure like the color white.

Soon Yao Yao reached home and ran into her father's arms. She was shocked when she was told that she had been declared mentally unstable to get her out of the prison and that she had to conform to the lie. She wanted to protest to her father  ut seeing his haggard look ,she felt guilty and quietly said,"Daddy,I am going to go and take a bath..I feel very dirty.."

Mr Yao who had been stroking his daughter's head stopped immediately and said,"Yes..do that and after that we will have a dinner of all your favorite foods. Tonight I am also going to take you to meet your mother in her room so you must clean yourself well."

Yao nodded and ran to her room. Though there was nothing on her face that showed her inner feelings,her heart was seething for revenge and with blame against Shi Ai. This time Shi Ai had dealt her a fatal blow and even harmed her image in front of her father. She will have to pay the price for it.

An hour later:

Yao Yaoband her father savored a rich meal. The housekeeper had brought in the freshest seafood on her father's orders and everything was made just the way the young Miss liked it. Mr Yao served her lovingly and Yao yao was tempted to cry at his kindness. Her hatred for Shi Ai was intensifying by the minute and the more kind and caring her father was, the more she hated Shi Ai. And this time Yao Yao was unable to hide the growing darkness within her. Mr Yao sighed internally and decided to have a talk with his daughter soon.

After the meal was done,Mr Yao dismissed the servants and then taking his little girl by the hand took her upstairs to meet her mom. Yao Yao had always been aware of the room's existence but was never allowed inside. Inside the room,she looked around curiously but the room was pitch black except for the little flames cast by the candles around her mother's photograph. This was the first clear picture Yao Yao had seen of her mother and her face showed her surprise. Yao Yao was just the image of her mother.

Mr Yao smiled at the wonder on his daughter's face where she looked innocent and child like again. Holding her wrist,he brought her nearer to her mother and then said,"You see Yao Yao..you are the spitting image of your mother. And not just in terms of looks but even in mannerisms you were just like her and seeing you was like seeing her again.This was also the reason why I always over looked any mistakes you made. I was similarly indulgent with your mother also."

Forgetting everything,Yao Yao looked at her father with shining eyes.This was the first time her father spoke of her mother and she could feel the love in his voice.So she tirned to look at the picture even more intently. Seeing her absorption,Mr Yao continued with the story,"She died shortly after giving birth to you and having you was my biggest happiness as well as my pain because seeing you reminded me of how she had turned impure too." Mr Yao's voice had now hardened and suddenly Yao Yao felt frightened.

His voice was now eerie as he continued,"She too had been seduced by another man and decided to leave me and run away. But I did not let her. And I even forgave her for cheating on me and accepted you,another man's spawn. But that man had corrupted your mother to her soul and she tried to leave me again and again until I was forced to sent her to the heavens so that she would not leave me. You see,she has forever been Mrs Yao now. Once she was gone,I gave all my attention to you hoping to keep you pure. But once again,I failed and you have been infected with impurities like lust and hate. And so to keep you safe and pure,I am sending you to your mother.She will take care of you in the after life now.."

With that,a frightened scream echoed in the empty mansion as Yao Yao's wrist, which was held by her 'loving' father was slit...
