Chapter 187 Are you stubborn, or is my slap harder?

Xie Nanzhi didn't need to turn around; she knew who it was just by the voice.

She glanced to the side and realized she had guessed correctly.

However, Luo Meijuan in front of us looks completely different from how she did a year ago.

She was wearing a Coach suit, carrying a classic Hermès bag on her arm, and even her hair was meticulously styled.

She was adorned with jewels and seemed even more pleased with herself than when she was Madam Xie.

As far as she knew, Luo Meijuan's affair with Cui Yong, a real estate tycoon in Gangcheng, was the talk of the town in high society. Once, during a phone call, Xie Yuanyang couldn't help but discuss it.

Xie Nanzhi mimicked Luo Meijuan's tone, saying sarcastically, "Who do we have here? Isn't this Mrs. Xie, who's been someone's concubine? What? Now that you're a concubine, your tone has gotten arrogant?"

Luo Meijuan's expression immediately changed.

Since the Xie family went bankrupt, Luo Meijuan has been struggling to make ends meet, and all her former best friends are avoiding her.

Having finally found a lifeline in Cui Yong, she thought her good days were finally over and specially hosted a tea party to invite her former wives.

To Luo Meijuan's surprise, instead of the envy she expected, the woman began to mock her after only three sentences, and behind her back, she belittled her to nothing.

Today, Xie Nanzhi mocked her to her face again. How could Luo Meijuan bear it?

Luo Meijuan revealed her sharp and mean face, glaring viciously at Xie Nanzhi, "You slut, how dare you laugh at me? Look at your big belly, you're about to give birth, aren't you? Who's the father of the child? Don't you even know yourself?"

Wang Shufen, supporting her daughter, was furious. "Luo Meijuan, you should watch your mouth. You're so old, and your mouth is still so foul. Daughter, let's go, let's ignore her."

Wang Shufen didn't want to argue; Xie Nanzhi was about to give birth, and it would be a loss if things got out of hand and the baby got hurt.

Xie Nanzhi thought so too. She nodded and followed Wang Shufen away.

But Luo Meijuan wouldn't give up. She blocked Xie Nanzhi's path, saying, "Where are you going? Did I hit the nail on the head? Is there really a bastard in your belly?"

The moment Xie Nanzhi looked up, her gaze was like a blade tempered with ice, carrying a sharpness that could see into people's hearts.

The next second, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped Luo Meijuan across the face.

Wearing high heels, Luo Meijuan lost her balance and stumbled a few steps, almost falling. She covered her slapped face, her eyes filled with malice, "Xie Nanzhi, who do you think you are, daring to hit me?"

Xie Nanzhi wiped her hands with disdain, her sharp eyes undiminished. "Whether I dare or not is not important. What's important is that if you take another step forward, you'll know what it means to 'ask for trouble.' I have no interest in getting my hands dirty, but I have plenty of ways to make you regret what you just said. Of course, if you really want to try, I don't mind letting you know that being a smart aleck hurts much more than getting beaten up."

For some reason, Luo Meijuan felt that her aura was stronger now. Even though it was just an ordinary threat, she was a little scared.

Luo Meijuan straightened her back and stiffened her neck to bolster her courage.

She wasn't about to be outdone by this bitch. "I'm the most stubborn person in the whole world, I refuse to believe this..."

As she spoke, Luo Meijuan took a step forward, intending to fight back.

Xie Nanzhi sneered and casually said, "Overestimating yourself." The next second, several men in black appeared out of nowhere, grabbed Luo Meijuan's arms, and forced her to kneel on the ground.

With a loud crash, the sound was deafening.

Luo Meijuan screamed in pain, "Ah, my knee!"

Xie Nanzhi casually walked towards Luo Meijuan, supporting her lower back, looking down at the other's disheveled state like a high and mighty god.

"I said, if you don't mind, give it a try. Being a smart aleck will hurt more than getting beaten up."

Luo Meijuan pressed her head, staring intently at Xie Nanzhi, "You bitch."

"Smack."

Luo Meijuan continued, "You bitch."

Then, there was another "smack".

Luo Meijuan's lip was bleeding from the slap, but she still hadn't learned her lesson. "You slut..."

"Slap," "Slap," "Slap!" Xie Nanzhi slapped three times in a row this time. She smiled mockingly and bent over. "Today I'll see if your mouth is tougher or my slap is tougher."

Luo Meijuan's chest heaved with anger, but this time she learned her lesson and didn't dare to continue shouting, so she shut her mouth.

Xie Nanzhi gave the group a look, and they quickly disappeared after releasing Luo Meijuan, not even having time to see the direction they vanished in.

Luo Meijuan got up, unwilling but truly daring not to do anything more.

She looked at Xie Nanzhi, her eyes filled with hatred sharper than knives.

It's only been a year since we last met, and this bitch seems to have become even more capable. However, she's more curious about whose bastard is in her belly.

There were rumors that she had hooked up with the son of the richest man, but not long after the news broke, the richest man's son died.

Could this child be the posthumous child of the richest man's son?

Luo Meijuan suddenly had an idea and a new plan in mind. She gave Xie Nanzhi a deep look, then turned and left dejectedly.

After Luo Meijuan left, Wang Shufen worriedly supported Xie Nanzhi, "Daughter, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Xie Nanzhi's face was somewhat pale.

Her hand unconsciously stroked her lower abdomen, and her beautiful brows furrowed slightly.

Wang Shufen knew that although she seemed smug just now, Luo Meijuan had still touched a raw nerve.

Xie Nanzhi shook her head, but the faint sadness in her eyes betrayed her inner feelings.

She missed him.

I really wanted to.

She longed for the way he called her Zhizhi.

She longed for the tenderness of his kiss on her forehead.

She longed for his towering figure, the one who sheltered her from the wind and rain.

Wang Shufen sighed and said nothing more. "Let's go home."

——

Back home, Luo Meijuan's cheeks were red and swollen from the beating, which Cui Yong saw clearly as soon as he entered the door.

Cui Yong was heartbroken and hugged her to comfort her, saying, "Oh, baby, whoever dares to bully my woman, Cui Yong's woman, tell me, and I'll tear their house down."

Luo Meijuan, acting coquettishly, cried with tears streaming down her face, looking pitiful. She nestled against Cui Yong, sobbing softly, "Isn't she my previous adopted daughter? You should know her. Dejia Wharf belongs to her, and she even set up a small art gallery before."

Cui Yong asked curiously, "I know her, but you're still her adoptive mother, how could she treat you like this?"

Luo Meijuan added fuel to the fire, "She's a heartless ingrate. The Xie family went bankrupt because of her behind the scenes. And my poor daughter, if it weren't for her, she wouldn't have... she wouldn't have..."

As she spoke, Luo Meijuan cried even harder.

Cui Yong held her in his arms and comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry, it hurts me. Don't worry, no matter how powerful she is, bullying my woman is bullying me, and I will definitely help you get revenge."

With tears welling in her beautiful eyes, Luo Meijuan kissed his chin sweetly, saying, "You're still the best to me."

Cui Yong pulled her onto his lap. "You're my precious darling. If I don't treat you well, who else will I treat well? Just wait, I'll make her pay for this arrogance."
