Xu Wan met a man from her industry at a matchmaking party. Two days later, they got their marriage certificate.
She thought she had married an unremarkable corporate legal counsel.
Afte...
Xu Wan recognized the two people who came in at a glance, one of whom was Dong Yuanyuan!
She didn't recognize the woman next to her, but judging from her features, it wasn't hard to guess that she was Dong Yuanyuan's mother!
That is, her own aunt, Meng Lifen!
"Xu Wan?"
Dong Yuanyuan recognized Xu Wan in a second!
Her gaze quickly shifted to Xu Pingrong's direction. Before she could even confirm who he was, Meng Lifen beside her rushed over, baring her teeth and claws: "What are you doing here? How come you're not dead!"
Before Xu Wan and Xu Pingrong could react, Meng Lifen's hand had already gripped Xu Pingrong's neck tightly!
The shop assistant was so frightened that she quickly came over to mediate, saying, "Madam, please calm down."
Xu Wan also pushed Meng Lifen hard, "Let go!"
Meng Lifen went berserk, yelling at the shop assistant beside her, "Why are you serving just anyone? Do you even know who this woman is? She's a murderer! A murderer who escaped from prison!"
"No, I...didn't escape."
Xu Pingrong's face turned pale, and she also grabbed Meng Lifen's hand, struggling to explain herself.
"Nonsense! You were sentenced to thirteen years, how many years has it been?" Meng Lifen cried out like a madwoman. "I don't understand, you clearly killed my brother, why don't you die! Why are you still alive!"
Several shop assistants were terrified when they heard this.
They all instinctively backed away.
One of them even dialed 110 (the police emergency number).
"Let go of me!"
Seeing her mother's face turn pale, Xu Wan, in a moment of desperation, bit Meng Lifen's wrist!
"ah!!"
The intense pain forced Meng Lifen to let go.
Xu Wan quickly turned around and helped her mother who was about to fall.
Dong Yuanyuan also helped her mother up, and said angrily, "A mad dog's daughter is a mad dog too! She'll bite anyone she sees!"
"Who's the mad dog? Who's the mad dog?" Xu Wan looked up at Dong Yuanyuan. "Is this the usual way the Meng family behaves? Bullying others and then blaming the bullied?"
Several people were making a scene, and other guests had already gathered around.
Although Xu Pingrong has been released from prison, she is still afraid of people bringing up her past, especially when facing her ex-husband's family and so many strangers who are giving her strange looks. She is so frightened that she can't say a word.
Xu Wan didn't care about anything else. "Your brother, my biological father, took all the family's money to drink and gamble back then. Whether he was drunk or had lost gambling, he would beat my mother and ask her for money. My mother was beaten black and blue. On the day of the incident, because I hadn't been on a school field trip in six years of elementary school, and he had lost thousands or tens of thousands of yuan gambling, my mother secretly hid a few yuan for me to go on the field trip. He almost beat my mother and me to death! What did we do wrong? Did we deserve to be beaten?!"
As Xu Wan spoke, tears began to fall.
Looking at the people around her, Meng Lifen exclaimed excitedly, "My brother is not like that at all!"
"Are you sure? Go ask around Yinyi Town. He lost money gambling back then, and when my mom wouldn't give him money, he beat her! He even tried to force my mom into prostitution! My mom had no choice but to work as a live-in nanny. Then his cronies started making up stories about my mom being immoral while living in someone else's house. Your dear brother chased her down the street with a kitchen knife!" Xu Wan said, choking back tears. "If you don't believe me, my mom still has wounds on her body that haven't healed after all these years. Do you want to see them? They were inflicted by your brother. He didn't kill anyone, but he's a million times more despicable than someone who did!"
Xu Wan's words were piercing to the heart.
Everyone around Meng Lifen looked at her with disdain.
A woman in the crowd said, "Isn't this the famous case from ten years ago? I was in high school then, and it caused quite a stir. My parents were even discussing it."
One person speaks, and others immediately agree.
“I remember now. My family said that if this doesn’t count as self-defense, then what does count as self-defense?”
"I found it! It really exists!"
"I found out too, that man deserves to die!"
The people around them started discussing it, each offering their own opinion.
Meng Lifen suddenly became agitated, stood up, pointed at the group of people around her, and said, "Don't believe what you read online. My brother is not like that at all. My daughter is a lawyer. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll sue you!"
