"That damned beast! I should have just bought poison and killed it! And that maid, when my parents come back, I'll make them fire her!"
"What happened in the end?" Sun Lu's voice came from the other end of the phone. She was sitting at her desk, idly twirling her pen.
"It's all because of that Steward Chen; he saved both the dog and the person."
"A butler with so much power?" Sun Lu was somewhat surprised.
“My dad said he’ll take care of everything at home, and he won’t even let me contact him! When he gets back, I’m going to make him fire all these useless servants! Fire them!”
“Yes, there’s no need to keep a servant who doesn’t listen to the employer.” Sun Lu agreed, but her face was full of sarcasm.
A real heiress doesn't even have her parents' private phone numbers, nor does she have the right to keep or dismiss a servant or a dog. How dare she say such things?
"And that brat, all he ever talks about is Tang Wan, Tang Wan, what an ingrate, so stupid and wicked... ugh!"
The door was kicked open with a bang, startling Tang Zhiyi, who was leisurely lying on the bed, complaining to Sun Lu about the events of the day.
She screamed, but her bandaged leg restricted her movement, and she could only watch in terror as the two men walked toward her.
Sun Lu, on the other end of the phone, was startled by the sudden scream. She frowned, silently moved the phone away from her ear, turned on the speakerphone, turned the volume up to the maximum, and listened silently to what happened next.
"Meng Wan! Lan Xing! What do you want to do? This is the Tang family home, not a place where you can run wild!" Tang Zhiyi swallowed hard, staring at the two people walking towards her.
"Where's the housekeeper! Where's everyone else? Where did they all go?" Tang Zhiyi shouted, but no one came. The entire villa was eerily quiet, as if only the three of them remained.
"Tang Zhiyi, do you remember what I told you a while ago?" Meng Wan didn't waste any more words with Tang Zhiyi and grabbed her chin.
Tang Zhiyi glared at Meng Wan, trying to break free, but Meng Wan was too strong. The more she struggled, the tighter Meng Wan gripped her. The pain made Tang Zhiyi's eyes gradually redden, and she dared not resist anymore.
"I told you, if you want to keep your position as the eldest daughter of the Tang family, you'd better behave yourself. If anyone loses a single hair, I'll pluck ten from you, right?"
Tang Zhiyi panicked a little, "I...I didn't do anything to Tang Li!"
"Oh?" Meng Wan released her hand from her chin. Just as Tang Zhiyi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Meng Wan suddenly moved down her arm, raising goosebumps on her skin.
The next second, a shrill scream echoed throughout the villa, and even the Tyrannosaurus Rex inside the room roared along with it.
Tang Li was startled and tried to leave, but Butler Chen was blocking the doorway at some point.
"What's gotten into that woman now?"
"Don't worry, Second Young Master, we'll handle it quickly." Tang Li had no idea what Tang Zhiyi had done today.
He wasn't interested in Tang Zhiyi, so after Butler Chen said that, he ignored him and closed the door again.
Inside the room, Tang Zhiyi's face was contorted, her forehead covered in sweat, her lips trembling and devoid of color. She stared at her limp, powerless arm, her eyes filled with terror.
Lan Xing was standing outside the door at some point, one hand holding the broken doorknob, the other rubbing her ear, her face full of disgust.
"You...aren't you afraid I'll tell Mom and Dad! I could make the entire Meng family homeless with just one word...you...you..."
Tang Zhiyi was so frightened that she became incoherent, but her first reaction was still to threaten Meng Wan.
"Then you can give it a try." Meng Wan's eyes were full of indifference.
"You are free to tell the Tang couple about what happened tonight, exaggerate it. Want to target the Meng family? You can see if you have the ability! But all of this is on the condition that you can withstand the consequences of angering me."
Meng Wan's voice was flat, neither mournful nor low, as if she were simply stating a fact.
"What happened today is just a lesson for you. If I find out you're doing these disgraceful things again, it won't be a matter of this little thing, understand?"
Before Tang Zhiyi could react, with a 'click,' Meng Wan had already restored her arm to its original position.
Prolonged pain can numb a person's nerves, and only actions that can easily control her pain sensation can make her feel fear from the bottom of her heart.
She leaned down, and the intense pressure made Tang Zhiyi instinctively want to back away, but there was nowhere to hide.
"Remember this, Tang Zhiyi. I, Meng Wan, may not have the surname Tang, but without it, you are nothing. Be good and live your life as a pampered young lady. If you keep trying to make things difficult for me, I dare to come in once, and there will be a second and a third time..."
To Tang Zhiyi, Meng Wan's words sounded like the whispers of a demon, making her tremble uncontrollably. She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything, and her arm remained motionless, the pain from before seeming to grow stronger.
In fact, Tang Zhiyi had no injuries, and she had no evidence to sue Meng Wan if she wanted to.
That's Meng Wan for you; no matter how impulsive she is, she won't leave any hidden dangers for herself.
Having achieved their purpose of teaching a lesson and threatening, Meng Wan and Lan Xing left Tang Zhiyi's room. Butler Chen waited for them quietly at the top of the stairs, saying nothing, only bowing slightly.
"The second young master is still in his room, we don't know what happened."
There's a reason why Butler Chen has been able to hold onto his position.
"Keep an eye on her." Meng Wan pointed to Tang Zhiyi's room. At that moment, Tang Zhiyi was screaming, telling the maid to go in and call a doctor for her.
"yes!"
After giving their instructions, the two were about to go downstairs and leave when a childish voice sounded behind them, filled with surprise and delight, accompanied by an excited bark.
"Tang Wan! You're back!"
Lan Xing raised an eyebrow at Meng Wan, as if to say, 'We're doomed, the second young master of the Tang family has found out.'
Meng Wan sighed and made a gesture to Lan Xing. Lan Xing gave an OK sign and went out to drive her motorcycle over.
Meng Wan turned to look at Tang Li. She saw Tang Li holding a Tyrannosaurus Rex in one hand and three lifelike toy snakes that could move in the other.
Where are you going?
"That woman is so noisy, I'm going to go scare her." As he spoke, he shook the three toy snakes.
"Go back to sleep. Don't you know that staying up late will stunt a child's growth?"
Meng Wan was somewhat helpless. She reached out her hand, but Tang Li reluctantly put his hand behind his back.
Meng Wan didn't urge him, and just stretched out her hand. The two remained locked in a stalemate for less than 10 seconds before Tang Li gave in.
"Here you go, here you go." Tang Li, acting a bit like a child, stuffed all the simulated snakes in his hand into Meng Wan's hands.
