Chapter 300: How Cruel!


    Chapter 300: How cruel!


    ra hid in the kitchen doorway and looked out. Her eyes lit up when her vision came in contact with


    Diana''s face. A look she had never had with Mariana.


    She could see that Diana was very eager to please the olddy and, relying on the fact that she had


    been a nanny in this house for several years, she rose to the asion.


    He turned and put the chicken soup in a bowl and took it out, feigning surprise as he approached them.


    -Miss Diana, are you already here?


    Diana despised her, but since Grandma was there, she smiled.


    -Hello, Aunt ra! It smells so good! You''re a great cook!


    With a sweet heart, ra put the soup on the table and suggested to the old woman:


    -It''s noon and lunch is ready, why don''t you let Miss Diana eat with you?


    Grandma frowned softly and said nothing, nodding calmly.


    Diana sat up immediately, and put on an affectionate pout.


    -Grandma, thank you. I''ll make sure you change your mind about me.


    The old woman didn''t like to beat around the bush and didn''t want to talk, so she just sat there and


    ignored her.


    ra took the opportunity to say:


    -Miss Diana, you are very sweet, beautiful and from a good family. You are a perfect child.


    Diana covered her mouth andughed.


    -No, Aunt ra, there are many people better than me.


    -Atst you''re a little right," the old woman spoke lightly. Mari has a good temperament, she''s pretty,


    she knows how to design and she does a good job, isn''t she better than you?


    At these words, there was silence and no one said anything.


    When ra saw Diana''s face, she hurried to speak.


    -But Mari is not as good as Miss Diana because of her background.


    The old woman looked at her sternly for the first time.


    -What''s birth got to do with it? You haven''t even earned it by your own efforts. Who knows who will be


    the true phoenix in the future?


    The implication was clear: she was inferior to Mariana.


    Diana''s fingernails dug into her flesh and her chest ached with rage, but her face showed an


    expression of resignation as she slowly rose to her feet.


    -Grandma is right. Since you won''t see me, I''ll go first.


    -I didn''t say you weren''t wee, don''t misunderstand too much.


    Without looking at her, the old woman took a sip of her soup.


    Diana stammered, unable to say anything more, and with her face burning, she turned to stride away.


    -I will apany Miss Diana," said ra hurriedly.


    He hurried after her, waving and shouting:


    -Dia... Miss Diana!


    Diana was annoyed by his shouting and stopped to look at her coldly.


    -What are you doing following me?!


    ra''s body shuddered, she clenched her hands and said:


    -Don''t take the old woman''s words to heart.


    -How do you expect me not to take it to heart? -Diana''s eyes were fierce, "You ttered Mariana and


    said I was inferior to her, even that she was going to be a phoenix. You are always bullying and


    insulting me at will.


    -No, it''s not... -ra took a step and then retracted, "You''re good, I really believe it.


    -So what if you think about it, who are you? Many people think I''m good, which one are you?


    ra''s eyes widened with a pang of pain in her heart.


    If I could, I would want to be by her side properly, to protect her from harm, and to see how the teasing


    of others didn''t make her feel sad inside.


    -Miss Diana...


    -I don''t want to talk to you anymore!


    Diana turned and walked away, but ra unconsciously tugged on her wrist.


    -Don''t touch me!


    In anger, Diana threw her with such force that she took a few steps backward and almost fell.


    Mariana, who had arrived in her car, saw the scene and ran in front of Diana, questioning her in a cold


    voice:


    -Are you bullying my mother?


    Diana snorted disdainfully as she wrapped her arms around her chest.


    -So what if I did? What can you do to me?


    Remembering her grandmother''s words congratting Mariana as if she was the best thing in the


    world, and her implied sarcasm that she was nothingpared to her, she was filled with rage and


    wanted to scratch her.


    Mariana did not mind being hurt, but she would not stand for her family to be touched.


    Mariana raised her hand.


    Diana thought he was going to p her and took the lead, grabbing her arm and pushing her.


    -Go ahead! I''m not afraid of you!


    The two got into a physical altercation and only ra''s effort toe to separate them stopped the


    fight.


    Diana, tired and angry, left in disgust.


    ra chased after her, asking if she was hurt.Original from N?velDrama.Org.


    -Don''t bother talking to me or following me! -Diana shouted in annoyance.


    ra froze when Mariana came closer and whispered to her:


    -Mom...


    -Don''t call me mom! -ra turned her head and red at her, her eyes a little red. "Why are you


    fighting with Miss Diana? What if you hurt her? Do you know how honorable she is?


    People always say that people are born equal, that there is no nobility or inferiority, but Mariana looked


    at her mother, elevating others and showing no concern for her own daughter.


    Mariana was very sad.


    "Why did my mother have that attitude every time she saw Diana, why?"


    "I was his own daughter!"


    -Don''t call me mom!


    ra was so angry that she spoke without realizing it, but only when she finished speaking did she


    -What are you doing here?


    "What do I do? I was worried that you were sick, I saw how Diana harassed you and you almost fought


    with her. Everything I did was for you, but you don''t see it."


    "You even say things like Diana is a noble person and I shouldn''t fight with her."


    Mariana looked up with a slight smile on her face.


    -I came to see grandma.


    She was not rted to her grandmother and she was not rted to Leopoldo, but her grandmother


    didn''t even think twice about it and treated her as if she were her own granddaughter.


    ra was very cruelpared to grandma.


    Mariana grew up with no attention paid to her, no prizes for winning contests and no new clothes for


    New Year''s Eve. Maybe the reason she still expects something from ra and worries about her all the


    time even though she treats her so badly, is because she knows they are blood rtives.


    When she entered the house, Grandma immediately smiled when she saw her arrival and personally


    got up to wee her.


    -Mari, you are here.


    It was ironic how different his attitude was with Diana.


    ra''s face wasplicated, but she said nothing and headed to the kitchen to get the food.


    Mariana gave him a sidelong nce and sat down with the grandmother.


    -Yes, I came to see you.


    The two were talking when there was the sound of a car outside and Leopoldo entered.


    Leopoldo usually arranges his lunch at the office, but today, for some reason he came back early.


    When he saw Mariana, his eyes twinkled and he came over to sit next to her.


    The olddy loved to see them up close.
