Xia Juntao was quite worried, but since Shen Ruomei didn't stop him, he followed her inside.

As Shen Ruomei entered the room, Boss Wen quickly brought her a stool.

"Oh, who do we have here? It's Miss Shen! What brings you to our poor family's place today..." The speaker was the eldest daughter of the Wen family, who was the same age as Shen Ruomei.

"Slap!" Shen Ruomei raised her hand and slapped her across the face. "When I was little, you took advantage of your brother's help to steal my food and clothes! Not only that, you also hit me. This slap is what you owe me!"

Shen Ruomei slapped the Wen family members right away, leaving them somewhat bewildered.

The first to react was Boss Wen's son. "You're all sisters, and you attacked me right away! You've gone too far!"

“My surname is Chen, is hers also Chen? Does she deserve to be my sister?” Chen Ruomei said.

"You...you believe I'll hit you?" Uncle Wen's son was young and hot-blooded, and he couldn't take it anymore.

“My face is right here.” Shen Ruomei pointed to her face. “Go ahead and hit me here if you dare!”

"She wouldn't dare lay a finger on me, would you?" Shen Ruomei said, pointing at her mother. "If you dare slap me today, my dad will slap me back ten or a hundred times!"

"You little beast, what exactly do you want today?" Wen Shuqin's hand was also raised in mid-air, not daring to fall. Shen Ruomei today was different from before; at this moment, Shen Ruomei was like a little wolf cub baring its teeth.

"I will not allow what happened today to happen again, and I will not allow anything like this to happen again. Can you do that?" Shen Ruomei asked.

"You good-for-nothing, you dare to come looking for me? I told you, what are you going to do about that bastard Shen Changchuan..." Wen Shuqin cursed.

Shen Ruomei raised her hand and overturned the table, scattering the food that had been laid out on the floor. "I don't even need my dad to do anything; I can make sure you suffer in the factory every day!" Shen Ruomei said, pointing at Wen Laoda's son.

Boss Wen knew that what Shen Ruomei said was true. His son's superior had once been Shen Changchuan's soldier.

“How could you be such a beast! He’s your own cousin!” Wen Shuqin said.

"From childhood to adulthood, the life I'm living now is the most peaceful and happiest I've ever had. What I hate most is that you gave birth to me, yet you still despise me."

But because you gave birth to me, I have to put up with you!

"But you don't want to let me go, and I really don't want to drag others down with me. I'm not going to put up with this anymore!" Shen Ruomei said through gritted teeth.

Wen Lao Er also realized what was going on. "What are you saying! We're both mother and daughter, let's sit down and talk things out."

"Besides giving birth to me, she never taught me, raised me, or took care of me! I also never spent any of her money."

She's cut ties with me! Don't bring up the mother-daughter relationship! Shen Ruomei's face was ashen.

Xia Juntao was a little dumbfounded. Was this still Shen Ruomei?

"You worthless beast! Even if you despise me, I'm still my child. Even if we sever ties, I'm still my child!"

Are you afraid I'll talk about Shen Changchuan? I'll talk about him and curse him every day from now on.

"You can still hit me? Come on, hit me here, hit me here!" Wen Shuqin leaned her face closer.

Xia Juntao stepped in front of Shen Ruomei. "Looks like you never learn!"

Wen Shuqin was furious when she saw Ruomei. This brat made her lose face in the Shen family. The thought of this filled her with resentment, and she ignored Xia Juntao.

Xia Juntao's sudden appearance startled her. She was afraid of his threats. She opened her mouth, but the rest of her words remained unspoken.

"I know where my dad kept the evidence that your family stole coal. Even if my dad isn't home, I can still find that evidence."

Although they paid back the stolen coal, their actions still occurred.

I can report it!

Because you've already paid money, you won't be sentenced to prison, but you'll definitely lose your job!

"You can't support me with the money you earn, but you can support your brother and sister-in-law!" Shen Ruomei said to Wen Shuqin.

Wen Shuqin's face turned deathly pale; if that happened, she wouldn't be able to live her life anymore.

People only get most anxious when their own interests are involved. Boss Wen went up and slapped Wen Shuqin again. "You useless thing, what have you done now? Ruomei wouldn't come looking for you for no reason!"

Old Master Wen started punching and kicking her, and Wen Shuqin retreated repeatedly, crying out, "I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything, I really didn't do anything!"

Shen Ruomei bit her lip tightly. She wasn't stupid; seeing how skillfully Boss Wen raised his hand to strike, it couldn't be the first time. Maybe...maybe it happened often.

Shen Ruomei could feel the salty taste on her lips, but she endured it without saying a word to stop it.

Wen Lao Da's daughter is the same age as Shen Ruomei, and Wen Lao Er has a daughter who is younger than Ruomei. They looked at Wen Shuqin with schadenfreude.

If it weren't for the aunt in her family keeping a close eye on her things when she was little, Wen Shuqin would have given all her things to her niece. Look what she got in return.

Shen Ruomei raised her hand and slapped each of the two girls across the face.

Shen Ruomei's move startled Boss Wen, who stopped immediately.

Wen Lao Er's daughter had been beaten, and he stood angrily in front of her. "Shen Ruomei, what exactly do you want today?"

Shen Ruomei ignored him. "Wen Shuqin!" This was the first time she hadn't called her "Mom," but addressed her by her full name. "Do you know that these two were laughing at you just now? They were so happy to see you get beaten!"

You want to take all my things back from them! But you don't dare because Auntie is watching over them, and because my dad is there!

And then you egged me on to give you the clothes I had just put on! How many times have you done something like this? Do you even remember?
