Chapter 38 The Great Demon King's Troubled Family
In my previous life, I heard someone mention this during a team building activity with my team.
In his youth, the Great Demon King suffered imprisonment.
That imprisonment was related to the tailor shop and the Great Demon King's father...
...
"Hey Li, who have you done right? How dare you? She's your wife! You just sold her off like that?"
Lan Miqian roared at the top of her lungs.
Who can understand how it feels to get home, before even opening the door, only to be told by a neighbor that your father sold your mother off like a plaything?
Lan Miqian didn't believe it at first, after all, she had witnessed firsthand how good Lan Yaran was to him.
How heartless must a person be to want to sell the woman who has always been devoted to him?
However, Lan Miqian overestimated that person. The facts told her that the person was indeed capable of such a thing.
"What do you know, you little kid? I won't sell her, I'll sell you instead, if you're willing, of course you can."
In the end, Li Cheng actually started to consider it, and even looked Lan Miqian, his daughter, up and down.
He shook his head, a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
His tone was full of disdain: "You little brat, you look too young, you won't fetch a good price, you're no good~"
Lan Miqian gave a self-deprecating laugh. What was she still fantasizing about? Didn't she already know what kind of person he was?
"If you put her down, I'll pretend I know nothing. Otherwise, I'll go to the police station and report you for human trafficking. You choose." Lan Miqian didn't even glance at her before throwing out these words.
She was afraid to look at him again, and she wished she could tear the person who had driven her to this desperate situation to pieces.
"You brat, I'm your father! Have you ever seen a daughter sue her own father?" Li Cheng cursed angrily.
"Have you ever seen a cowardly husband who would sell his wife or a cowardly father who would sell his daughter?" Lan Miqian retorted almost without thinking.
When he realized that force wasn't working, Li Cheng switched to a softer approach, appealing to people's emotions.
"Qianqian, can you understand your father? Tiger's place is clean. He only lets your mother go to drink with those rich businessmen because she's good-looking. It's to give your mother face. Some people want to go but can't even find the door!"
Lan Miqian was so angry at this person's shamelessness that she almost laughed.
"Go work as hostesses? I seem to remember that your mistress is quite good-looking too. Even your famously beautiful second daughter is very attractive. Why don't you let them go? You have connections, you can't forget about them!"
"How could Yanni do such a thing?" As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Cheng realized something was wrong.
But at this moment, he no longer wanted to get entangled with Lan Miqian. He impatiently curled his lips, then raised his eyebrows, looking quite disdainful.
"Fine, I won't lie to you. I'm willing to sell Lan Yaran, so what? She's willing, why are you worrying about it? And you're comparing yourselves to Yanni and Taotao? Do you even have the right to compare?"
Oh dear, he's gotten angry out of embarrassment.
Haha, it's always the same. He'll still have time to chat with you before, but once it involves those two people he cares about most, he won't bother to deal with you at all.
But he is also their husband and father!
Lan Miqian closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, the sadness and despair in her eyes had disappeared, replaced by madness and stubbornness.
"Hey Li, how could you be so despicable? You did such a wicked thing, aren't you afraid that my grandparents will float to your house at night to seek revenge?"
I'll say it one more time: give me back my mother, or don't blame me for being rude!
"You're still being rude to me? Tell me, how are you going to be rude to me? I'm giving you a bit of face, and you actually took it seriously. You even asked me if I was afraid those two old geezers would come looking for me at night?"
What's there to be afraid of? I wasn't afraid when they were alive, so why would I be afraid of ghosts? What a joke!
Besides, if they really wanted to find me, they probably would have already done so, after all, I was…”
Before he could finish speaking, Lan Miqian interrupted him.
"It's you? So it was you!"
As if she had confirmed something, Lan Miqian alternated between crying and laughing.
Suddenly, her expression turned cold and sharp, her eyes seeming to hold ice particles.
She said, word by word, "Li Cheng, I will make you pay for your crimes in blood!"
Before she could finish speaking, she picked up a long knife from the nearby storage area and, before Li Cheng could react, slashed it directly at his neck!
When Jiang Xixi arrived, this was the scene that she witnessed.
She immediately shouted in a panic, "Wei Laicheng, quick, go! Stop her!"
This couldn't have come at the right time!
Fortunately, Wei Laicheng has developed excellent driving skills over the years.
Even after being stopped, Lan Miqian still looked completely mad.
"I'll make you pay with your life! They treated you so well, you're a beast!"
Only then did Li Cheng realize what was happening. He clutched his chest to calm his panic, and continued to curse loudly.
"You're crazy, you're really crazy."
Seeing that Lan Miqian was still poised to swing her knife at him, he forgot all about cursing. Perhaps he was genuinely afraid that she would strike, so he muttered a few more words and fled in panic!
"Have you calmed down?" Jiang Xixi stepped forward, snatched the frightening machete away, and asked calmly.
"Why did you meddle in other people's business?" Lan Miqian had calmed down, but the urge to kill someone was even stronger in her mind.
Those elderly people were the two kindest people in the world to her.
But even though she knew who the murderer was, she couldn't even avenge them!
"I don't know what happened between you, but I want to say, don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes."
Have you ever considered what awaits you after you make that cut?
I remember the Great Demon King once said that the thing she regretted most was that she lost the best three years of her life because of her beastly father.
In this lifetime, I'll try my best to save her as much as I can!
Upon hearing Jiang Xixi's words, Lan Miqian visibly paused for a moment.
...
"Yu Rou, do you have any money? Can you lend me some?"
Chen Wenli stretched out his hands, his tone gentle, but his expression was one of utter self-righteousness.
"Didn't you just take three yuan from me a few days ago? What did you do with it? You spent it so quickly?"
Jiang Yurou instinctively covered her pocket.
Less than two months after being sent down to the countryside, she had already spent almost all of the two hundred yuan she had brought with her.
Chen Wenli asks for money every few days, and her mother-in-law, who loves to watch the drama unfold, also wants to give her money. They all treat her like an ATM.
"Hey, get this straight, that's three yuan, not three hundred yuan. Besides, you've already spent it, why bother arguing so much?"
"Give me two more dollars!"
Thinking of that girl with the gentlest smile, Chen Wenli couldn't help but smile.
When he looked at Jiang Yurou, he showed a hint of disdain.
