Shen Manbing cowered in a corner after the beating.
The woman’s tone was vicious, “I don’t know what got into my brother and sister-in-law’s heads, they decided to adopt a jinx like you. If they hadn’t rushed back to celebrate your birthday, they wouldn’t have died unexpectedly. Shichuan was also foolish for defending you, you illegitimate child sprung from god knows where.”
“I am not a bastard, nor am I a jinx.” Shen Manbing suddenly shouted in exasperation.
“The Shen family should have never kept you. You only survived because of your good fortune.”
Shen Manbing, gritting her teeth, said, “I knew it… It was you who pushed me off the roof that year.”
“So what if it was me who pushed you off? You deserved to die, but you were just too lucky. You escaped death at the age of five.”
Shen Manbing’s face changed dramatically: “Why are you doing this to me!”
“Why? Because of you, I lost my own daughter. How can I let you off? You should have died.”
“Xiao Duo’s death wasn’t my fault. She returned to the country with my parents. I also lost my parents. How can you blame me for this?”
“I don’t care! If it weren’t for your birthday, they wouldn’t have returned home. My daughter would still be alive. You’re nothing more than a bastard who cost the Shen family three cherished lives. You owe this to me and to the Shen family.”
Shen Manbing seemed to slowly regain her composure, “Aunt, I’ve always felt guilty towards you. That’s why I’ve put up with your endless humiliations over the years, with your ways of belittling and making things difficult for me. But when you pushed me off the roof that year and I almost died, consider that life as having been returned to you. If you continue treating me like this, I won’t be courteous to you.”
But the woman was seething with rage, “Shen Manbing, even if you carry the Shen surname, have you forgotten how you came by this name? You were just a little beggar, nearly starving on the streets. You think you’re some princess of the Shen family? It would be as easy as squashing an ant if I wanted you dead. But I don’t want you dead now. I want to torment you alive. I want the world to see you as a star, but behaving like the Shen family’s dog behind closed doors. I want to see you wearing showy robes, but deep down, you are nothing more than a humble ant.”
“Get out! Get the hell out of here!”
Yet, that woman took a step forward, grabbing Shen Manbing’s hair, “Wench, I am going to teach you a lesson today. What good will Shichuan’s protection do? He can protect you for the time being, but let’s see how he’ll protect you for a lifetime.”
There was a loud bang.
Xia Yangyang kicked the door open forcefully.
She lunged forward a few steps, grabbed the woman’s wrist, and twisted it with all her strength.
A cracking sound was heard, mixed with the woman’s shrill scream.
She rolled on the ground.
After a struggle, she managed to stand up, but her wrist couldn’t move anymore.
The woman pointed at Xia Yangyang: “Who are you? What did you do to my hand? What did you do to me, you little wench?”
Xia Yangyang said, “Nothing much, I just dislocated your arm, that’s all.”
Hearing Xia Yangyang say this, the woman’s face turned pale with fear, “Do you know who I am? How dare you harm me?”
The Shen family is one of the four major families, with the longest history, renowned for its academic atmosphere. You are Luo Meixin, the current matron of the Shen family. However, people always think that Lady Shen is gentle, elegant, and composed. They would never imagine she is a vile woman full of insults, capable of plotting the death of a five-year-old. I wonder if people would be shocked and take a fresh look at Mrs. Shen when they learn this.”
