Li Yang and Sister Qian squeezed over and saw that the courtyard door was wide open. Feng Mei was pulling Bai Li's collar with one hand and her hair with the other, dragging her out with force.
Bai Li was originally weak and had no strength compared to Feng Mei, who was used to working. She was dragged by Feng Mei and staggered. Her hair was disheveled and her collar was unbuttoned. She looked so miserable. Where was the usual ladylike temperament?
But Feng Mei kept cursing, "You shameless vixen! Not only did you seduce my daughter's man, but you also live and eat at her house, and you even dared to let my son-in-law spend money on clothes and skincare products for you!" She grew angrier and angrier as she spoke, as if she was being gouged. "You think money is so easy to make? Do you know how much my daughter spent on those things?"
If this money was not spent on Bai Li, but was given back to her by Li Yang, why would she have to endure the anger of her natal family and in-laws?
When Li Yang saw the scene, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted!
What is Feng Mei doing!
Without time to think about it, she and Sister Qian stepped forward and pulled Feng Mei away from the left and right.
When she was pulled apart, Feng Mei was still shouting unwillingly: "Why are you pulling me apart? I'm going to beat this stinky bitch to death!"
While Feng Mei was struggling, she was also waving her hands and feet in the direction of Bai Li. Li Yang was accidentally injured because he was blocking her.
Bai Li was protected by Sister Qian, curled up behind her, her shoulders shaking with tears. Her pitiful appearance made everyone around her feel soft-hearted.
Of course, they would not interfere, after all, she was indeed suspected of stealing Li Yang's man.
Li Yang endured it again and again, and shouted: "Mom, enough!"
Feng Mei was startled by Li Yang's shouting. When she came to her senses, she realized that it was Li Yang who was pulling her. Furious, she poked Li Yang's forehead with her finger and cursed him, "What's enough? Are you stupid? You let a vixen live in your house! And you let Ji Huaizhi spend money on her? Do you have any brains at all?"
Li Yang's expression turned cold as he let go of Feng Mei and said, "Miss Bai is a guest, not some vixen you're talking about.
You came to my house and made trouble without knowing any reason. Those who know about this will say you are fighting for my sake, but those who don't know about it won't know what your intentions are!"
Bai Li was officially Ji Huaizhi's guest. Even if she really had some feelings for him, Ji Huaizhi had not done anything inappropriate towards her. Feng Mei's fuss was simply putting her on the spot.
She had just spoken to Ji Huaizhi last night, and Feng Mei came to her house today to beat and scold Bai Li. How could she explain this to Ji Huaizhi? This was not the way to go.
And from what Feng Mei said just now, it was clear that she felt sorry for Ji Huaizhi spending money on Bai Li, so she came to ask for benefits.
Perhaps Li Yang had hit the nail on the head, Feng Mei's face froze. She pointed at her and started cursing again, "You damned girl! I'm doing this for you out of kindness, and you actually think this of me? I'm telling you, if you don't listen to the advice of an old woman, you'll suffer the consequences. When she seduces your man away, you'll regret it!"
Li Yang remained unmoved: "This is my business, please go back."
Before Feng Mei could say anything, Bai Li stood up. She wiped her tears, her eyes aggrieved yet resolute. "Li Yang, your mother has wronged me so indiscriminately. She must apologize to me."
She held her head high, like an inviolable white lotus.
Li Yang naturally knew that Feng Mei was at fault in this matter, but she also knew that it was absolutely impossible to ask Feng Mei to apologize to Bai Li.
Even though she didn't want to admit it anymore, Feng Mei was still her mother. She did these things to Bai Li under the banner of venting her anger. Bai Li was the guest brought back by Ji Huaizhi, so she had to express her opinion.
So, she said to Bai Li, "Miss Bai, my mother was wrong in this matter. I apologize to you on her behalf."
Li Yang had barely finished speaking when Feng Mei pushed him. "Who asked you to apologize for me? What did I do wrong?" She put her hands on her hips and pointed at Bai Li. "I'm telling you, if you know what's good for you, return the money you spent on my son-in-law. Otherwise, I'll strip you naked and parade you through the streets!"
"mom!"
"you!"
Li Yang and Bai Li spoke at the same time, the former was speechless and the latter was very angry.
But Li Yang also understood that the cause of today's incident was that Feng Mei knew that Ji Huaizhi gave Bai Li money to buy things.
Bai Li's family had fallen on hard times, but she was still very particular about everything she wore and used. It was obvious that she had used Ji Huaizhi's money. Li Yang wasn't unhappy about this at all. Firstly, she wasn't Ji Huaizhi's legitimate wife, and secondly, if she could use the money to repay the favor the Ji family owed the Bai family, things would be much simpler. I'm sure Ji Huaizhi felt the same way.
As for how Feng Mei knew that Bai Li spent Ji Huaizhi's money, Ji Huaizhi would not tell anyone. The Chen family was used to dealing with Ji Huaizhi and would not tell anyone. Even though Sister Qian loved gossip, she was a very sensible person and would not tell anyone about this matter.
After eliminating those who knew the truth, Bai Li was the only one left.
She was enjoying a peaceful life, so why did she have to cause trouble?
Li Yang's gaze fell on Bai Li, who still acted pitiful and aggrieved, and he narrowed his eyes.
What she suffered today was what she deserved.
But no matter what, it was her mother who caused the trouble, and she would always have to clean up the mess.
So, she said to Feng Mei, "Whether you believe it or not, I'll just say this once. Miss Bai is Ji Huaizhi's distant cousin and our guest. She came all the way to Guangzhou to celebrate the New Year, so it's only right that my husband and I should contribute some money.
Even if this money wasn't spent on Miss Bai, it's still our joint property and has nothing to do with the Li family."
